WOMEN AND INDUSTRY.

No war in history has taken from civil pursuits for such a protarcted period so large percentage of men In the belligerent nations of Europe universal service has been made as nearly as possible reality. To fill the vacant places, to keep the wheels of industry moving, more and more women are being employed.
 Now that we are at war, the same condition may, to some extent, be look ed for in this country. Already, in New York, plans are on foot in busi- ness circles for replacing men who go to the front with women workers. Business men calculate that fully 1000 office jobs will be vacant. Women must fill these places. Already in one establishment the number of women in clerical position has increased since the war from 16 to 60 per cent, and this without displacing any men.
 This condition will probably now be accentuated; and American business men are planning to meet it.
 Of course in many instances the places will be held open for the men on their return. This stipulation or promise wa smade by many indus tries in Britain and Canada to en- courage volunteer recruiting. Yet af- ter the war there must inevitably be a larger proportion of women employ ed, not merely in office work, but in industrial and outdoor labor The places women have been filling in war time, they will continue to hold.
 All this means, for women, wider field of activity and greater influ- ence in political affairs. It is idle to suppose that at the close of hostili- ties, women will automatically revert to the identically position they occu- pied, socially and industrially, before the war began. Decided changes may be looked for. They are already evil dent in the belligerent countries; and the United States will be subject to the same influences, and will experi- ence very similar results.

DISMANTLING OF WIRELESS.

Thousands of youthful wireless anna teurs throughout the country are in the dumps over the navy depart ment's order for the dismantling of all wireless apparatus, and many of them have wondered why such a radical step was necessary.
 When one considers that every wireless outfit is an eavesdropper, that in virtually every town are wire less amateurs who can "pick up'' messages from one to two thousand miles away, it must be considered en- tirely just that the government elimi- nate this eavesdropping menace thro- ughout the war.
 The wireless situation at present is "sewed up" in the entire nation, not a single apparatus being operated that is not under the direct supervision of the government.

THE FOLLY OF MEXICO.

Mexico's urfriendly actions in the present emergency is folly. There is no nation on earth to whom Mexico should quicker extend the hand o1 friendship than to the United States Mexico's future is inexorably bound up with good will and peace with the United States. Animosity between the two countries can only result in trouble for Mexico.
 We are logical in the premises. We do not expect Mexico to kowtow to us; we do not attempt to run her gov e,nment. We did not even punish her for killing our citizens.
 Yet this same Mexico, contiguous to our territory for 1,500 miles, and whose future is dependent upon the good will of the United States, is giv- ing every possible aid comfort to the enemy.

"OUR FIGHTING MEN," Brig.-Gen. CrOzier.

Brigadier-General William Crozicr, chief of ordinance of the United States army, is native of Ohio, and was graduated from West Point when he was 21 years old. Within a few months after leaving the academy he saw active service in the Powder river campaign against the Sioux
 Indians. The following year he was engaged in the campaign against the Bannocks. In 1881 he was appointed first lieutenant or ordnance and since that time he has been identified almost wholly with the ordnance
 branch of the service. In the war with Spain he served as inspector
 general of volunteers. He partici- pated in the suppression of the Philip pine insurrection in 1900 and later in, the same year re served as chief ordnance officer of the Picking relief
 expedition. A year as president of the army war college was followed by his appointment, in 1901, as chief of
 ordnance. General Crozier is an eminent authority on ordnance. With

Mongolia fired upon and sunk the submarine, shattering the periscope at distance of 1000 yards.
 This may provoke Germany to de- clare war on the United States, but the formality will not change the situ- ation. Germany has been making war on this country for months. The Mon- golia fired in self-defense, and all Americans are gratified that the first shot was hit.
 This incident will not serve to re- strict the submarine campaign to any extent. When the news reaches the German submarines commanders, it will make them more careful in ap- preaching American merchantmen. It is not improbable that they may de- eide to refrain from attacking An1eri- can ships in daytime, now realizing tho truth of the saying that "the Am crican gunner can hit anything he can see."

 MEDAL FOR THIS Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up q Corn So It
 Lifts Out.

You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on tender aching corn stops sore ness at once and soon the corn loos- ems so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.-Adv.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The st. Patricks day b,.nG benefit
masquerade dance givon saturday
evening was the most largely attended
public event of the kind that has ever
taken place in Oroville, and those who
were present, either in disguise, or as
spectators, derived vast amount of
pleasure from the occasion.
The success of the band dance was
in large measure due to the active
work of Drs. Elmer and Lewis, who
had volunteered 20 sell tickets, and
tickets they sold, to about every person
reachable in town. After investing in
paste boards the investors decided that
they would get their moneys worth,
and about every ticket buyer was
leither as a locker on or as a partici-
lpant.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
Orpheum was crowded to capacity.
leven standing room was a. premium
and the mob of good natured specta-
tors encroached upon the floor space
devoted to the dancers.
Up uuIll IL o CLOCK only tQOSe IN
masks and costumes were allowed TO
take part in the danceing and more
motley array were never seen at a
masquerade in this county. Over 100
people were in costume, and every i'm
aginable character was represented,
fro mdevil to fairy, from duchess to
a darky Most of the costumes, as is
generality the case, were o. the comic
variety, yet there were some Of I'M

| The grand march, staged at eleven
o'clock headed by the band in unique
costumes made out Of bunting, was a
dizzy kaleidoscope exhibition of col
ors. At the close of the march the
winners of prizes were announced. The
committee making the awards was
made up of drummers who happened tc
be in town, so that no favorites were
played. If some did not feel that the
selection of prize winners was MOI
