Woman After the War.

The social and economical status OF woman
in Europe after the war is coming In for some
discussion, and IL OF vital concern In the United
States, because conditions abroad will be dl-
rectly felt In this country. II Is agreed that
woman has captured certain positions in indus
try from which she is not likely TO be dlslodged.
This Is repeating the experience of America,
where woman first gained foothold In the
activities OF life outside the home because OF
being forced TO do mans work while he fought.
A similar situation now prevails In Europe.
There woman has already been given greater
opportunity 10 work side by side with man, but
now she has entirely displaced him In many
occupations. and will certainly hold most Of
them for her own when the men come march
Ing home to peace.
Along with this as affecting wages and
ether factors in the problem OF production
must be considered the employment OF those
men whose physical ability has been impaired
but not entirely destroyed by injury incident
TO the war. vast number OF crlpples will be
presently injected into industrial life; their
ray will be based on their productive capacity
effected in some degree by their pension. The
inevitable effect OF this will be to lessen the
opportunity for industrial employment OF the
sound who survive. One other phase Of the
problem, simple enough in Its general terms
but tremendously complex in it's incusiveness
is the lowered purchasing power OF money that
will come along with other changes due to the
readjustment.
All this does not necessarily mean an era
OF low wages. as suggested by some German
writer's but II does mean rearrangement so
general that no branch OF industry or commerce
win escape its influence. Americans VIII find
herein more than ever cause for the protec-
htn of home markets and homo labor against
Europe

Easter and It's Message.

Easter sunday is the greatest of all tho
church's festivals, because OF It's sentiment.
II is the celebration Of faith in the Immortality
Of man and the resurrection. Birth and death
arc demonstrable facts, and the common expert
ence OF all. But the life after death is a mat
ter of faith. II cannot DO proven by science
Neither logic nor reason can pierce tho veil that
hides from mans inquistiye scrutiny the secret
Of existence. Faith alone can carry him behind
the shadow. II matters not tho source OF his
aspirations. his longings for, or whether he
deserves immortality. His faith in a life after
death is fixed and Ia renewed with each recur-
ring Easter. Mans hope looks beyond this
marrow vale between the cold peaks Of two
oternties," and in the rebirth OF Nature each
year no finds encouragement that keeps him
strong in his belief This Is the message OF
Easter, that II man die he shall live again.

Mrs. Thomas Uland, wife of an en-
gineer of the Sand Grass, who lives
In a pretty bungalow on the Gold
field road, died this morning at the
county hospital where sne was pri-
vate patient The circumstances of
the death are pathetic especially as
the deceased was young woman in
the prime of life and gifted with a
vigorous constitution and blessed with
a loving husband. Following the
birth of baby last week the mother
developed species of blood poison
ing entirely different from any pre-
cedents known to medical science.
The complication was induced by
rheumatism and neuralgia which baf-
fled treatment until the patient ex-
pired this morning. The affection set
in two days before the birth of her
child which died soon after. Deceas
ed was "a years of age, and before
her marriage was Miss Rose A. Strip
ling. A sister, Mrs. Jack Nicholas
resides in Tonopah. funeral services
will be conducted at the Presbyterian
/, church Thursday at 4S0 o'clock anG
the body will be taken Friday morn
ing for 'interment az the old home
