RELIGIOUS Women.

The real reason why women are
more religious than men today is be-
cause they are more human than men.
It is not by nature that they are so.
Social conditions have made them SO.
AS we have divided the labor of the
world between the sexes, the work Of
men is almost entirely concerned with
the production and distribution OF
things; the work OF women almost en-
tirely with the production and sus-
tenance of persons. We all of US at
times notice the great throngs Of men
who go, at the call of the whistle, in
and out OF our great factories. To the
average mans mind, these hundreds
of men are hands," and the purpose
Of the factories where they are en-
ployed is to produce goods" but to
the average woman's mind, these hum
dreds of laborers are human beings,
and the purpose of the factories Is to
furnish. sustenance, through pay en-
velopes, to men and women and boys
and girls and babies yet unborn. In
most of our homes the man leaves hui

then, Of his approaching marriage.
The commander of the submarine
was thinking, in his peril, of the home
that he was never likely to see again,
and of the aged mother who prayed for
him every day before the cruciix in
her room.
The observing officer of the aero

The boats steamed on, guided by the
aeroplane, which was drawing nearer.
The submarine, beneath, did not know
whether it was visible or not; it did
not know of the net that was following
1t, and it turned and made toward its
own coast.
This gave the torpedo boats their op-
portunity. At a signal from the air
ship they dropped the net and reversed
engines.

instantly gun on the torpedo boat
ansWered-and missed. Down went
the submarine, freeing herself from
the clingiDg net. and started beneath
tne water, her periscope swishine
through the waves.
Inc aeroplane circled above her, and
the torpedo boat, having lowered a
small craft to pick up the struggling
sailors Of the wrecked ship, started
on the pursuit again.
The sailors were mostly rescued, ex-
eept the captain. He had stayed on
the bridge to the end. His body had
gone down in the wreckage.
As the torpedo boat raced through
the water in the wake of the periscope
she fired again and again. Three
shells fell short, three went too far.
The seventh shell struck the periscope
fairly and tore 1t away. The subma-
rines eye was gone. She was blind.
Instantly she rose. with a brief de-
lay while changing engines. In that
delay the torpedo boat was upon her.
The eighth shell pierced the thin hull
Ike paper. II made two gaping holes,
one on either side. The submarine
was doomed.
The commander, at the gun, adjust
ed his sights, allowing for the list
OF the sinking ship, and fired. The
shell burst in the engine room of the
torpedo boat, disabling her. She drift
ed helplessly upon the water.
The submarine was going down by
the stern. The commander called
through the tube to the men in the
torpedo room. One more torpedo was
left of the store which had been
brought from port. The commander,
at the wheel, worked frantically to
bring the bow in line with the dis
abled torpedo boat FIVE hundred yards
away. If he could get that line before
his vessel sank, the torpedo boat was
doomed.
Upon the bridge of the torpedo boat
the captain waited. He could not move
his vessel, which drifted aimlessly
upon the tide. He could swing her
from side to side by working the
wheel: he tried to keep her bow on
to the submarine, so as to present the
smallest possible target.
The two ships watched each other,
and the aeroplane, above, watched
both. She rad one bomb left. She
circled lower and lower, describing
circles above the sinking
submarine, At last she dropped her
bomb.

Ma7v New Appointments
F. acted From Co, ,fererc

Many ministerial changes are
expected at the Annual Confer
ence of the NJ. E. Church, to be
held in Wilmington in March. 1t
is generally believed there will be
more changes in the appoint
ments than at any time in recent
years. due in part to the appoint
ment of three district superinten-
dents. The Rev. f. L. Hoffecker
Of Wilmington, Rev. Robert Watt
of Smyrna; and Rev. R. K. Stew
enson, of Dover, will have served
their respective districts for six
consecutive years, and the law of
the church makes their retire

Marriage Bells At Annapolis

A bill has been introduced in
the Maryland Legislature by Sen
ator Frank E. Williams of Elkton,
making it misdemeanor for a
minister or any other person au-
thorized to perform a marriage
ceremony, to give directly or in
directly money, a present or a re-
ward as an inducement to bring
him persons contemplating matri-
mony.
The Elkton Improvement Asso-
citation is also having a bill drawn
making it compulsory for out-of-
state couples to procure their
marriage license at least SO hours
before they can have the wedding
ceremony performed, in an effort
to wipe out Elkton's unenviable
reputation as a Gretna Green.
