Necktie az CIfe Saver.

A necktle saved a Glasgow captains
life recently. He had been a passen-
ger on board a Greek ship which had
been tOrpedOed In the Mediterranean.
He managed to keep afloat for a while,
until a spar drlfted along with a
Frenchman on 1t. To this he chung, un-
able to scramble on because he had
lost the use Of his right arm and leg.
Then" says the Glasgow man, "a
storm came up and We were dashed
and buffeted about till 1 could hang on
no longer. so long. old chap l said,
4 guess I'm a goner. Good luck to
you and thanks Nonsense he said.
Hang on for a second, and I'll fix YOU
Before l knew what he was about he
had whipped off his necktle and had
securely bound my arm to the spar.
Then we passed the night in terror. l
thought my arm would be torn out.
But in the first light of dawn an Ital-
ian destroyer came along and picked
up everyone who had been on the ship.
Yes" continued the Scotchman, "if
you are going to sea In these parlous
times be sure you have a good. long,
strong necktie with you and don't lay
1t aside for an instant"

Taxjdermjsts Are ScuIptors. Too.

1t is very doubtful If many Of the
10000 or more people who visit the
animal exhibits of the National mu-
scum annually realize the great
amount Of work put on each animal
in the mounting by modern taxiderm-
lists. The larger animals are mounted
on sO-called "manikins" of REINFORCED
plaster, and are not, as is quite gener-
ally supposed. simply stuffed with ex-
celsior or sawdust. The expert taxi
dermists employed by the museum are
more In the nature Of sculptors than
anything else. They are said to have
been the pioneers in this kind of work,
and at this time complete their work
by constructing life-sized hollow plas-
ter figures which are not only light
and durable, but also far more real
Istic than those produced with saw
dust and excelsior.

NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN
They Are Making Marked Success 40
Secretaries and Earn Very
Good Salaries.

Evidence of rapid strides toward the
creation of a new profession Offering a
good field for women Is set forth In an
article In the New York Evening Post
by Raymond G. Fuller, director of the
secretarial department Of the Russell
Sage College of Practical Arts at Troy,
N. Y. He points out that government
statistics and the reports of such Or
CARNATIONS as the international bureau
Of occupations, New York the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union
Of Boston. and the bureau OF occupa-
lions for trained wOmen Of Philadel-
phia show that secretarial work Is be
coming one of the most attractive ave-
nues Of vocational choice among col
lege women" He states that Simmons
college In Boston Is the only institu-
ton of collegiate standing which offers
a complete secretarial course, and that
the demand for its graduates Is so
great that other colleges are rapidly
falling in line.
In New York salaries begin at from
$12 to SIS n week, increase to from
$500 to $1,000 q year ut the end of
two years, and to from 5 1900 to $1,8OO
a year within another year or two, or
as O On as the secretary has definitely
lifted herself from the stenographer
class and shown real interest In the
affairs of her employer, ability to grasp
details and attend to them without de-
lay and has developed a certain degree
Of judgment. Twenty per cent of the
graduates of the secretarlal depart
ment of Simmons 60 into business Oc-
equations, 10 to Is per cent become
teachers, and the rest find employment
with lawyers, professors, doctors and
other individuals, and clubs, settlement
houses, colleges, etc. A recent survey
Of 800 college women in secretarial
positions showed 80 per cent connected
with suffrage, social and religious or
CARNATIONS; IA per cent employed by
schools and colleges; 8 per cen by
public officials; 7 per cent by business
firms and banks; 7 per cent by law
yers, and 6 per cent by doctors.
