Shall Woman Propose?

OF course women should propose. 1t
is women who change their entire lives
by matrimony: it is women who take
on colossal responsibility by matri-
mony. The woman should surely be
allowed to choose the man for whom
she feels herself able to work and
give.
Men propose; men have had it all in
their own hands up to now. and if
they have married the wrong wuma
they have only themselves to blame
for it.-Women of the World.

Maher Expects to Race Again.

Although lie has been out of the sad
die for more than two years. with the
exception OF Il single mount, which he
accented last September at Newman
ket, racing men in England are hoping
that Danny Maher, the justly famed
American jockey, will so far have re-
covered his health by next spring as
to he able to take up his vocation. ut

time OF his advent in England in Sep

In eleven of the thirteen years fol-
lowing that time he was outside the
first three leading riders in England
but twice. the first of these being in
1903, when he was nearly killed in Il
motorcar accident. which kept him out
of the saddle for several months. and
again in 1905.
\. glance at his list of winning
mounts. extending over the eleven
years in which he was among the first
three, develops the fact that he rode
1,22337 winners. with his greatest years
winnings occurring in 1908. when he
was first on the list. with 1870.
In 1910, when he finished second to
+. Wootton. a lightweight lad from
Australia. who was first. with 131
wins. Maher scored 1o7 victories.
While in the preceding year, when he
was again second. he tailed 11i wins.
In 1904 and again in 1913. when he
was third and first respectively, his
string showed 115 first places.

most marked. For this reason it is
We'll to examine this experience from

How has the war affected these views
or its purpose and utility:
AS far as the first is concerned. there

OF its use. Perhaps the hes, is the
action off the Dutch coast on oct. Il,
1914, between Il British destroyer di-

Their models are 50 fine and the en-
EineS. although crowded into II very

make a speed of thirty knots. and some
on their trials have vcn exceeded this
by a knot or more. Even this does NOT
bring them up to the standard of the
English ueStroyrr>. some of which are
reported to have an actual speed of
tAirty-1ive knots.
Uncle sam has thirty capital ships

ing or appropriated for. In addition to
the forty-tivr de>trnyrrS in the fleet.
there are twelve under construction.
Six more have just lrcn contracted
for and will be delivered in the natural
course of events in about two Years.
The universally accepted rulc for the
number of deStroEcrs required for Il
balanced navy is four To each capital
ship. When all the ships now under
contract are completed the United
States navy will POSSESS "a ]dr>troyrrS
for each capital ship.
One incalrulab!e advantage of a
largo number of deStroyelS aud other
smaller ships is that it gives COM
manding rank tn officers at an earlier
age and teaches them to take full re-
sponsibility before they become conl-
puratively old in the service. Without
these opportunities some of them reach
rank carrying command OF a 100000

other than a subordinate position.

take up farm work so as TO relieve

four thousand persons watched a
hundred women and girls in farm
work field day" competition on Sir
Thomas Acland's estate at Killerton,
Devonshire.
The events included ploughing,
rolling, narrowing. milking, sheep
shearing and Harvesting and driving
horses.
A fifteen-year-old girl. Miss Smith,
of Woodbury., Balterton. who has
two brothers at the front. won chief
honors. She took first price for har-
Messing and driving farm horses.
first for spreading manure and Sec
ond for milking.
The spectators were especially
struck by the way in which the wo-
men shearers tackled the long-wocl-
ed Devon sheep, some of which were
heavier than the competitors. The
judges said the women in this line
we're superior to many male farm
hands.
