RECOGNIZE WOMAN AS EQUAL
Heads of Industrial Plants Say She
Can Do Any Work Consistent With
Strength Better Than Men.

Once man pretended to place wom-
an on pedestal and worship her.
Now, according to Donald Wilhelm,
who reports "The Confessions Of
Munition-Maker" in the Century, he
is forced to recognize her as an equal,
and respect her. The quotation be-
low states the opinion of q hardhead-
ed factory foreman, on the Importance
Of women In the world of labor:
"Welch, one can see, isn't emotion
al. One can trust his judgment OF
women.
"That Is why was glad he was

Gentlemen, we've all known won-
en- practically all our lives-ever since
we were born, practically. Most Of
us get to thinking that woman can't
do mechanical work because they're
always willing to let man use the
hammer, that being something he
thinks he can do. But a woman can
do 1t. A woman can do anything that
q man can do, and most things bet
ter, but men can't do anything near
what women can do. Now, maybe
you can imagine what women can d

Art of HannInn Piotures.

Pictures should have q strong base
below, a large centerplece above, and
a higher point above this, thereby
meeting architectural demands. A sofa
against the wall, or bookcase, or q
large table may form the base, with
an important picture as the center
piece, either square or oblong. At all
events the base should be wider than
the structure above, and there should
be a higher point of apex. The best
