Another field of endeavor-hItherto con-
sidered fitted solely for men-has been
entered into and conquered by a woman.
and a most marvellous woman. Miss Jean
Dean Barnes. Of New York City, who
is distinguished by being one of only
two recognized women advertising agents
in the United States, must be.
She was born in some cold hovel to
slowly trudge her way to the heights.
This would be most commendable, most
noteworthy. But how much more so
is the feat of rebounding from the lap
Of luxury into such hovel and again
crawl back to the heights. For this IS
what Miss Barnes has done.
Miss Barnes sought a position as a
society editor. but fell into the adver-
tising work. In this work she was one
day asked 10 tackle the Priestiey Cra-
venetts Company account. This she did.
And the rest was easy.
In addition to driving motor cars and
giving her full attention to the one thou
sand and one details of her business,
Miss Barnes finds the time to be a very
active member of the League OF Ad-
vertising Women OF New York, being
one Of its delegates to the Philadelphia
convention OF the A. A. c. W. last year.

Spain Warns Germany
Crisis Is at Hand

Special Gable TO The Washington Herald.
Amsterdam (via London), April 5.-The
text Of Spain's note to Germany, as given
in a Berlin dispatch, while conveying d
grave warning that the end of Spanish
patience is In sight, also contains a sug-
gestion that a crisis may be averted
through negotiations. The note says. in
part:
"All the repeated attempts OF the Span
ish government undertaken with the in
tention Of safeguarding its sea traffic and
the lives of its sailors, have failed in the
face Of the impeTturbable resolution OF
the imperial government to employ un-
usual and violent war measures. 1t Is
asserted that these measures render i'm
possible the economic existence OF the
imperial governments enemies. but SIM
ultaneously they expose to great dangers
the existence OF friendly neutral powers
The note then complains of the series
of restrictions Germany has imposed on
Spanish shipping and Of the sinking OF
Spanish ships without warning. 1t de-
clares that these methods render the
economic existence Of Spain almost i'm
possible.
