KNOCKED DOWN AND
RUN OVER BY AUTO,
WOMAN WALKS HOME

In the snowstorm which made walk
ing precarious and prevented her from
seeing the approach of an automobile.
Miss Coral Tillman, teacher at the Irv-
ing school, was knocked down and run
over by a machine on the pavement of
Sibley street, at its intersectaion with
Holman street in Hammond, shortly be-
fore clock last evening
All four wheels of the auto-a Ford
delivery truck driven by William Volt
ers, a hardware dealer at $50 Holman
street-passed over the teacher. who
was thrown on her back. Two wheels
left wounds on the chest and the other
two bruises below the knees.
Desiring to escape from the crowd
which gathered. Miss Tillnan. after she
was assisted to her feet, walked to 103
Carroll street. where she rooms. and
upon arriving there, broke down. DR..
w. H Mikesch was called and found the
patient to be suffering from shock. It
is not believed her injuries viii prove
serious.
Miss Tillnan is a brother of E. S.
Tillman. principal of the night school
She was carrying an umbrella at the
time Of the accident and it aided in OBJ
scuring the view OF the approaching
machine. The driver was intent ou
watching a woman and child crossing
the street from the opposite direction
and did not see Miss Tillman. He
stopped the auto ten feet from where
the teacher was thrown.

Woman's Work.

A recent writer has pointed out that
here is a very general misconcep-
ion as TO the question of the inva-
sion of mans sphere of work by the
women of today.
We are generally told that within
recent years woman has taken upon
herself many of the trades and pro-
LESSONS popularity believed to have
belonged entirely to men, and are left
% the conclusion that women had
therefore, occupied themselves solely
with household affairs.
But it is hardly true that woman
has only recently begun the invasion
If mans activities, or rather there
seems to be no line by which it can
be determined that one class OF work
S exclusively feminine and another
is as exclusively masculine.
The fact of it is that in the years
hat have gone, there was very little
difference in the work of men and wo-
men. Women worked alongside of
men in the fields, hoeing, poughing,
reaping cleaning and in all the activi-
ties of the farm. They were in addi-
lion to being farm laborers, the max.
ing of clothing. they were the filters,
the weayers, the spinners and candle
makers. the tailors, the masters, the
brewers and the thousand and one
things that the civilization and the
necessities of the times required them
to be.
When it was found that the expan-
sive power OF steam could be applied
to the work of mankind. there was a
reimbursement of the work, not only
of men but OF fwomen 1t was found
| that the many things that women were
called upon to do in and about the
house and the farm could be done
better and more oheaply by machine
ry. Aud gradually much of the work
formerly done by women almost ex-
clusively, was transferred from the
hand in the home to the machine in
the factory.
The invention of vast forms of ma
chinery changed the relations OF wo
man. as well as of man as to the
labor performed. but when her work
was transformed and taken from the
home TO the factory, she simply fol
lowed it, and modern working condi
tons in which woman takes so larg,
a part is the result
II is quite true that there are many
new professions, new avenues of la
Dor in which women have entered aft
or they were discovered or invented
by man. but in almost every case they
are those things in which women hav,
always proven proficient.
