WOMAN SHOULD
SEEK THE MAN
Marriage Is an Episode in Mans
Life; Marriage Is Woman's Life"
Says Skirted Blacksmith.

Says Skirted Blacksmith.
AMES, Iowa.-Miss Tura A. Hawk
probably is the only college gradu-
ated woman blacksmith in the coun-
try.
She has taken a course in the
blacksmith department of Iowa State
College, and carries a diploma stat
ing she is eligible to work at the
trade.
In college Miss Hawk has taken
her turn at the forge, handled white
hot iron, welded, riveted and repair
ed Just like men. But her idea of
the profession for women is wife
hood and motherhood. Here are the
woman blacksmith's views of life:
"All the issues of a woman's life
are centered in the home.
SIS it any more than fair that a
woman should be permitted to ask
the man of her ideals to help her find
and operate that home?
"Must woman, because of custom,
wait only to be chosen by some man
who is not her ideal or else never
enter her life profession?
every woman, if she is to live up
to her ideals, must do one of two
things-get the special man she de-
sires or live an unmarried life!
Marriage is an episode in a mans
life; marriage is a woman's life.
Gas the situation stands today a
girl may see the man who is her
ideal, but must stand in line and hope
and pray he will come and choose
her.
eff he doesn't she must accept the
man who does come or never enter
her chosen profession-wifehood and
motherhood"

TELESCOPE TO TAKE
A CENSUS OF STARS
MOST POWERFUL INSTRUMENT
is EXPECTED TO UNRAVEL
MANY MYSTERIES.

The worlds greatest telescope is
approaching completion at the Mount
Wilson observatory in Southern Cal
ifornia. The construction of this
giant instrument, whose chief feat
ure is huge 10O-inch reflector, is a
matter of much importance not
only to scientists, but also to the
average man. Extending our vision
into space, it will actually be a pio-
neer into uncharted regions, full of
enormous possibilities of adding to
the sum of human knowledge.
With this instrument we may eX-
pect, according to astronomers who
will have charge of it, to see 100,-
600, 900 new stars or 'suns," to learn
the cause of the colors of the stars
and, perhaps, to ascertain the limits
of our universe.
The glass for the large mirror was
made at the st. Gobian works in
France, and so much glass was re-
quired that it was impossible to pour
it all at once; so they poured it in
two parts. Many difficulties were
experienced in obtaining suitable
disc for the great mirror. 1t was
necessary to make the mirror 3 inch
es thick to prevent its bending with
its own weight. The disc weighs four
and a half tons. When completed
the telescope will be placed in steel
building, surmounted by revolving
dome 100 feet in diameter.
May Make Starry Census.
The great instrument NAV make
possible the calculation of a census
of the starry system or universe in
which we live; in other words, it may
enable astronomers to count all the
heavenly bodies and pierce to the
very boundaries. Scientists say it
is probable that what we call the uni
verse is a system, consisting of many
millions of stars, which has bounda-
ries on all sides and is separated
from similar systems by expanses of
space so vast no known light radia-
tions can cross them. Therefore the
100-inch telescope may show US the
limits of our particular Swarm"
In estimating the distances from
the earth of these remote stars it is
usual to take the eight year," that
is, the distance light would travel in
year. 1t is assumed that the faint
est stars seen with the 60-inch tele-
scope at Mount Wilson are $4,000
light years away. Calculating on
this basis astronomers say the new
instrument will show stars, if they
exist, that are $4,000 light years
II my. A light year is about $780,
pug 100000 miles. In other words.

DRIVEN INSANE BY
EEAR OF GALLOWS
FORMER SOCIETY MAN is IN A
PITIABLE PLIGHT FROM A
CRIME WHILE DRUNK.

DENVER, Colo.-A haunting fear
of the gallows has driven Harold
Frank Henwood insane and he has
been transferred from the laundry
of the state prison to the ward set
apart for the criminal insane. Ever
since the night of May %, 1911,
when Henwood shot and killed Syl-
vester Won Phul and Geo. E. Cope
land and seriously wounded John w.
Atkinson in a drunken row in the
bar of the Brown hotel, this one
time society man has held this fear,
and at last his mentality has given
way and he is hopelessly insane, ac-
cording to expert alienists.
Henwood's hallucination is that he
has electric wires in his head. And,
despite the Communication of his SEN
tence of death granted by the gov
ernor on October 16, 1914, he is to
be hanged for the killing of the two
men he shot to death five years ago.
Henwood has shown signs of vlo-
lent insanity for several months, say
the prison officials who have been
keeping a close watch upon his move
ments. A year ago the head of the
prison medical staff recommended
that Henwood be given hard manual
labor as a means of effecting a cure
of his mental trouble. 1t was thought
that physical labor would clear his
mind and produce sound sleep. This
treatment was tried, but failed to
produce the desired results.
1t made no difference, however,
in the mental condition where he
worked or what labor he performed.
He tossed and tumbled all night,
moaning aloud and crying out many
times that the electric wires IN his
head were slowly burning him to
death. This continued until two
weeks ago, when he grew violent and
it became necessary to confine him IN
the ward for the criminal insane.
Henwood's mental malady is not
uncommon to those who have been
sentenced to death on a charge of
murder, say the criminologists. The
circumstances of the killing are al
WAYS before them after an exhaust
ing trial, such as Henwood under
went upon two occasions in Denver,
and when the death sentence has
been pronounced it may as well be
executed, say these experts, so far as
