GOLDEN GIRLS" ARE
GALORE IN The U. s
ARMY OF UNMARRIED WOMEN
PAY INCOME TAX-COULD
SUPPORT HUSBANDS.

There are $4,000 unmarried wom-
en- in the United States who are able
to maintain homes without the slight
est aid from mankind. Any one of
these women can choose her husband
without stopping to ask if he can
support her in the style to which she
has been accustomed. New York city
alone contains a number of these
financially independent women,
enough in fact to make a great con-
vention. The whole list is kept among
the confidential records of the collec-
tor of Internal revenue of the United
States government.
Miss Hartman One of Them.
One of these is Miss Carol A. Har-
rlman, daughter of the late E. H.
Hartman. She is possibly one of
the most widely known of the million
alre bachelor girls. She is prominent
IN outdoor sports and particularly
hunting. If it were necessary for
Miss Hartman to earn her own liv-
ing she could do so without much diff
ticulty on the concert stage, having
been trained under one of the best
masters in Paris.
Regardless of her wealth, one of
the most beautiful and attractive
girls in society is "Girlie" Brown.
chrlstened Angelica Schuyler Brown.
She has had lovers galore, many of
whom have laid suit to her heart, but
she is still free. Papa Brown is said
to have decided ideas about the right
kind of husband for his daughter
and that he must be worker-not a
loafer.
Shows Preference for Dogs.
Miss Marion Kennedy, a daughter
of Mrs. H. Van Rensselaer, Kennedy.
of Hampstead, L. l., is another "gold-
en- girl" to whom her father left sew
eral million dollars. She is one of
the most widely known exhibitors Of
Pomeranians at bench shows in this
country and maintains a kennel at
Hampstead which is known through
out dogdom.
Another young woman on the in
come tax lists is Miss Leonia Burrell
She is most active in outdoor life and
is identified with many of the New
York.
The most widely known of all the
bachelor girls of wealth, possibly, is
Miss Eleanor Sears. She has been
reported engaged time and again,
but no man has ben able to win her
from her bachelor ways. Miss Sears
is an ardent DOloist tennis DIovar
and her fame has travelled from her
home city of Boston to every quarter
of the globe.

$4,000 fires FROM
RANK CARELESSNESS
UNDERWRITERS FIND THAT SPE.
CIAL DEVICES FREQUENTLY
RESULT IN BLAZES.

A new form Of fire peril is coming
into prominence as cause of much
destruction, and its fires. are SO di-
rectly associated with carelessness
that it has been deemed necessary to
issue special warning to the people
of the United States. Because Of
their convenience, small electric de-
wees, such as pressing irons, curling
irons, coasters, electric pads or blank
cts, electric plate warmers, and cleo
trio steriIizers or heaters are now to
be found in almost every community.
If these were used with proper care
the danger would be negligible, but,
unfortunately, proportion of their
users does not realize the peril of
leaving them in circuit when not in
use. In such cases these devices tend
to become overheated, whereupon
they are likely to set fire to anything
! combustible with which they are in
/ contact.
/ Most of the fires are small but the
aggregate loss is large, and occa-
slonal instances show extensive dam
age, as in the case of the S350.OOO
fire in the Boston residence of ex-
Governor Draper; this was traced to
an electric plate warmer in the but
Ier's pantry.
Special Peril
Fires of this class furnish a special
peril to life, being most frequent in
| dwellings, and often breaking ont at
night. A Characteristic example is
that in which an electric pressing iron
Is left upon the ironing board, with
the current turned on, and then for
gotten. In such a case the fire NAV
not occur until some hours later. The
burning of the residence of John
Wanamaker, several years ago was
due to an electric pressing iron.
That this form of hazard is already
assuming large proportions appears
from the statistics. For example. the
actuarial bureau of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters in one
day noted approximately one hundred
reports of fires from this cause out
OF total of two thousand losses in
the days reports, and it estimates
that small electrical devices are caus-
ing tlres at the rate of 10000 or more
IN the course Of a year.
Can Be Prevented.
1t is safe to say that most of these
hres are entirely preventable, and
can be charged to nothing but care
lessness on the part of the user. Va
rious safety" devices have been adj
ded by certain of the manufacturers
OF these articles, and among them are
some that are fairly effective, but
there is one absolute precaution
which should be borne in mind at all
times by every user, namely, that of
shutting off the current when not per
sonally and continuously supervising
the use.

Pennsylvania Turkey Hunter Had

LEWISTON, Pa.-John Gantz,
aged "a, known throughout central
Pennsylvania as the mighty turkey
hunter of the Alleghanies, has just
completed his last hunting expedi-
ton and says he will leave the sport

Gantz was working on the Penn

civil war broke out. He walked six

which he needs Immediately to pay a
debt to friend now sick and in

from a lonely widow in Halfmoon

his reply through the newspapers.
Mrs. Eliza Jones, the correspondent,

on Mortimer, but is willing to give
him $1,000 if he will marry her.

DRY WAVE SWEEPS
EVERYTHING BEFORE IT
BOOZE GOES IN INDIANA, ORE
CON, ALASKA, UTAH - SUI
FRAGE FOR WOMEN is ALSO
MAKING HEADWAY.

States and territories are going
dry so fast that national prohibition
may come before congress even ap-
proves submitting the question of a
vote on the subject to the people.
The Indiana prohibition bill, which
would make the State dry after April
2, 1918, has passed the state senate,
38 to IL. The bill already had passed
the house, but now goes back to that
body for action on few amend
ments.
Oregon is "bone dry" today. Gov
ernor Witheycombe signed the abso-
lutte prohibition bill and it immediate
ly became law.
The Alaska bone dry" prohibition
bill, already passed by the United
States senate, now has passed the
house without a roll call after an un-
successful fight to prevent its consid-
Grafton. The bill, which goes into
effect January /, 1918, awaits Presi-
dent Wilson's approval.
Utah Adopts Strict Law.
In Utah the Young prohibition
bill, believed to be the most drastic
dyr measure ever Endorsed by state
legislature, has passed both houses
of the Utah legislature. The bill will
become effective August /, 1917.
In West Virginia an amendment
to the YOst law, prohibiting the
bringing by any one person of more
than one quart of Intoxicating liquor
into the state in a month was passed
by the house of delegates by a vote
of Sc to 5.
The measure has been adopted by
the senate and now goes to the gov
ernor for his signature.
The bill provides for a sentence
of from two to six months in Jail anC
a fine of from 500 to $500 for the
first violation and a sentnece of from
one to five years in the penitentiary
for the second offense, the trial Judge
having no discretion in the matter.
Suffrage Makes Strides.
Suffrage as well as anti-liquor leg
lslation is making headway. In Ohio
the house of Representatives has pass
eG the Reynolds bill giving president
laI suffrage to women. The bill ha
gone to the senate.
In Indiana the suffrage question
is near action and its supporters sa,
the legislature will approve the bill
! granting women the vote.

PACIF|STS FIGHT WAR;

PEACE ADVOCATES ASKS THAT
QUESTION BE REFERRED TO
PEOPLE-BRYAN AND MANY
OTHERS OPPOSE HOSTILITIES.

Since the United States broke off
diplomatic relations with Germany
strong movement has been growing
In many parts of the country against
possible declaration of war on the
grounds of the present quarrel, and
especially against such a declaration
before the question is submitted to a
referendum of the people. One of
the leaders in the movement is Will
liam Jennings Bryan, and it is backed
also by number of congressman and
by Socialist newspapers and peace
societies.
The white house and congress, dur
ing the last few days, have been flood
ed with letters and kilograms, urging
that the United States shall not be
dragged into the war. Moreover, sew
eral resolutions have been introduced
by congressman, providing for a ref
erendum in case Germany should

To Take Referendum Vote.
The American Union against Mill
tarism, in particular, is making q
strenuous effort to demonstrate to
congress that the people are in favor
of pacific settlement of the present
difficulties with the German empire
1t is planning to take an unofficial
referendum by postcard of 100000
men and women voters all over the
country to prove that the rank and
file are not in favor of war at this
time. The card, after being marked
by the voters, is to be addressed and
mailed to their representatives in
Washington. Two questions are to
be voted up and marked Eyes OF
mo" They are:
l. Do you think that we should en-.
ter this war to uphold our legal right
to go into the war zone regardless OF
conditions?
2. Do you think the people should
be consulted by referendum before
congress declares war, except in case
of threatened invasion?
The persons to whom these cues
tions were to be sent include 1906
members of the national grange, "a,
! 600 members of various labor organ
izations, 10000 members of women!
clubs, 10000 professional men, anC
miscellaneous lists, Including educa
tors, amounting to $4,000.
Men Who Fight Should Be Consulted
With the declaration that the
American people were being stamped
ed into war, an emergency peace com
mittee has been organized in Wash
ington to support the propositions Of
Mr.. Bryan that the nation should no
assume anything but a strictly defen

attack on our coast should cause u.
to resort to military force.
Mass meetings protesting agains-
this country's participation in the
European conflict have been held il
New York, Boston, Chicago, Phila
delphia, and other large cities. Mayor
Van Lear of Minneapolis was loudly
cheered by an audience of thousands
of persons in that city the other night

JUDGE FRANK PARK
OUT OF THE RACE
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN WITH
DRAWS NAME FROM FUR
THEIR CONSIDERATION.

WASHINGTON-It is reported
here that Judge Frank Park, member
of congress, who was recommended
for the vacant federal judgeship in
South Georgia and whose appoint
ment was ready to be sent to the SEN
ate by the president, has withdrawn
his name from further consideration
in that connection.
No Reason Is Given.
The statement is made positively
that Judge Park is no longer a candi-
date. No reason is given, but it is
said that he became disguised with
the manner in which the contest for
high judicial office was being drag
ged in the mire and largely on this
account concluded to get out of the
race, notwithstanding the fact that
he had been recommended by the at
torney general and that the president
had notified the two Georgia sena-
tors that he was willing to appoint
him.
Had the appointment been made
an ugly political fight would have de-
veloped over it in the senate on ac-
count of the attitude of the two
Georgia senator's. Judge Park, being
unwilling to be placed in that atti-
tude, has withdrawn from the con-
test.
The friends of Judges U. V. Whip
pie of Cordele and 7. S. Fielder of
Macon, and John T. West of Thorn
son seem confident over their respec-
tive appointments.

marching order, around the noun

The heroic figures will be SIS feet

miles around. They will endure for

Gigantic Steel Scaffolding.
The first step will be to build a

transport material. The highway, al
ready started, will ascend in serpen-
tine curves, the natural form of the
rock making its construction easy.
Once the material is carried to
the top, a gigantic steel scaffolding
will be riveted against the cliff, just
below the site of the memorial. 1t
will be suspended in midair halfway
between base and summit, supported
by gigantic cables such as hold a sus-

No dynamite will be used through
