Milwaukee, Wis.-"Fifty-eight years

about me four years ago when l went
to Kenosha with Albert to be married

much of a hubbub about disparity In

she fondled the baby girl which some

SUFFRAGE In Norway.

Among the most important laws en-
acted by Norway since women have had
the vote are the two maternity insur-
lnce laws of 1909 and 1915 and the di-
vorce law of 1910.
"Since the women in Norway have got
the VOTE" says Ella Anker in Jus Suf-
fragii, they have turned their chief
attention to their rights and duties as
wives and mothers. Education and eco
nomic independence are the basis Of wo-
mans freedom, but her greatest work
and happiness will be as wife and moth
er. 1t is an astonishing fact that in all
these centuries, while men have taught
Us that wOman's place is in the home,
they have neglected to prepare us for
the chief duties of our home life"
Norwegian women have also given
particular strength to the work for ira
tional housekeeping" by the establish
ment Of a state high school for the ed
ucation Of teachers for the elementary
housekeeping schools, to a campaign
against consumption and to the support

EiHeI's Tower,

The most famous tower since that
of Babel is the Eiffel tower in Paris,
a monument to the engineering genius
Of Gustave Eiffel. The tower of Babel
was reared in the hope that it might
afford a passage to heaven, but the
builders, we are told in Genesis, were
foiled by their language being con-
founded.
Gustave Eiffel had no such ambition
In rearing the highest edifice the world
has ever seen. 1t is a tower dedicated
to science. Its rearing was one of the
greatest engineering feats Of modern
times and was a result Of experiments
undertaken to prove the greatest limit
to which metallic piers in viaducts
could be safely pushed. 1t is now the
worlds must celebrated wireless tele-
graph station.
Eiffel tower is 1000 feet in height
and is constructed Of iron lattice work,
1900 tons of iron being used in its con-
struction. A system Of elevators car
ries visitors to the top.
