Adam indicated.

If our sometime ancestor, Adam,
kept tabs on the recent presidential
election he would surely re-iterate
the one oratorical effort for which
he is celebrated, namely, "The woman
did it." The western woman cast
her vote for the Democratic Party
and kept it in the saddle for another
term. Wonder how the Democratic
Party will show its gratitude? Let
the chivalrous South answer to the
manly West.

Outside for the Government Versus
Inside for the Home.

INSIDE Tor Lne HUME
The number of women in England
working "outside the home" is over
three millions. The demand for wo-
men in the munitions factories has
caused dearth of women as domestic
servants. When England finds it
necessary to almost conscript women
as war agencies, it would be but a
fair exchange to draw upon men as
house servants. Not alone buffers
and chefs but for the many services
now performed by maids, many of
which require more expenditure of
physical force than for so-called mems
occupations.

AVE. HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.
Rapid Progress Being Made In New
Steel Balcony.

A great improvement is being
made at the Avenue House in the
erection of balcony over the main
entrance. The balcony when finish
ed will be a very distinctive feature
as it will extend across the front of
the tower a distance of 60 feet and
project outward to the curbing with a
greatest width of II feet
1t is supported by pillars and
beams of Bethlehem steel, securely
reinforced. The woodwork is of two
inch plank, with matched flooring on
the upper surface and a covering of
heavy canvas between to make it
waterproof. The under side is to be
handsomely done in steel sheathing,
in which will be placed at intervals
eight tungsten lights of a hundred
watts each, which will greatly add to
the illumination of the street. A new
cement sidewalk is to be laid to take
the place Of the old asphalt that is
badly broken.
The upper side is to be used as
porch for the hotel guests, and among
the decorative features is the heavy
steel railing which will be ornament
ed it's entire length with squares of
heavy loaded glass.
The balcony will also be use
full to the public as in the winter it
will prevent heavy pieces of snow and
ice that fall from the tower projec-
ton during thaws from striking and
possibly injuring pedestrians.
