DENIED EQUALITY OF SEXES
Men in 1918 Had Decided Views as to
Woman's Intellect and Her 49,,
Sphere of Duty. ~.

There lies on the desk book pub
lished and sold by Moses Thomas,
Philadelphia, bearing the date of 1913,
which makes it one hundred and five
years old. There are many strange
things in that book, which contains
Selections From Foreign Reviews and
Magazines" all of which is claimed to
be s'the best thought of the ablest men
of the age" There is an essay at
lacking French authoress who was
claiming an equality of intellect Of the
two sexes. The reviewer remarks:
upon the whole, we do not think that
a little learning is always dangerous
thing in lady, so long as 1t has ref
erence to her condition of life and the
sphere of her duties.
That is as far as the world had got
at that time In the education Of wOm-
en-. About seventy years afterward,
when a woman became senior wrangler
at Oxford, which is the highest honor
in mathematics, there began change
of opinion concerning the quality OF
woman's intellect.
It was maintained in the entire
period by these "ablest men Of the
age" that the female intellect" was
entirely inferior to that of men, and
that her physical structure made It
impossible for her to comprehend the
great questions, such as that Of war.
Since then woman has written the
greatest war hymn of the world.-St.
Louis GlObe-Democrat.

undersea Pipe Line for OIL.

Tank steamers are loaded with oil
on the Mexican coast by means of un-
dersea pipes, sometimes over a mile
long. The record is broken by two
lines each two and one-half miles long,
recently installed about seventy miles
south of Tampico. This method of load
ing is made necessary by the character
of the coast in the vicinity of the oil
fields. There are no harbors deep
enough to accommodate tank vessels,
and the water alongshore is shallow
for mile or more out to sea. The oil
pipes lie on the sea bottom and con-
nection is made with the tank ship at
the outer end by means of flexible
metal hose. The line is fully connect
ed on shore and is then towed out to
sea by tug.-Literary Digest.

Famous Forth Bridge.

Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin
Baker, both Englishmen, were the en-
gineers who designed the great Forth
bridge in Scotland, and the building
was done by several large firms Of
steel structural workers, under their
supervision. The outside length Of
the bridge is S.098 feet, the central
cantilever occupies 1920 feet, and the
two side cantilevers 1,514A feet each.
The Roadway of the bridge at high wa
ter is $50 feet. The bridge was II
years in building and was opened in
March, 1890. The Forth bridge is
much narrower than the Brooklyn
bridge, but it exceeds it % feet in
span and is considerably longer in its
overall length. ...&~

About MiIestones.

Most people imagine milestones to
be quite ancient institutions. They
are not so really. The first mile
stones to be erected in England were
set up on the Cambridge road between
parkway and Cambridge in 1927, and
it was not until 40 years later that
their use became at all general. True
there are two ''milestones," so called,
that bear the date 100, still standing
one at Tadcaster, and the other
near wilmington, Herefordshire. But
those do not give the distances to
the places craven upon them, being,
in effect, therefore. merely stone sign
posts.

SAYS RICHLAND PEOPLE
SHOULD BE SATISFIED
Postmaster Relton Tells of Hard Luck
f of Ranchers in the Will
Z lamette Valley p

It would be a mighty pious idea for
some of the disgruntled settlers on this
project to have heart-to-heart talk
with Postmaster William Relton and
have him give them little inside in
formation as to conditions such as he
found them during a recent auto tour
of the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
AS everyone knows, this valley is sup
posed to be the ideal farming district
Of the state of Oregon, devoted to
dairying, cattle raising and haying, as
well as all other. forms of agricultural
endeavor. .a. zssss-.@e94 ~. :, -. .
Mr.. Relton made over 100 miles in
a car and states that during the en-
tire trip he only saw two small herds
of cattle. Mind you, this was a trip
taken right thru the best farming dis
trict of the state and yet every farmer
interviewed stated that his pasture
had all burned up last summer, that
he was importing hay from the Yaki-
ma and Columbia river valleys, Tin
other words from in and around Rich
land) and was paying $33 to $50
a ton for this hay delivered. Mr.. Rel
ton states that during his entire trip
he never saw a single hay stack ex-
cept such as was composed of import
ed hay.
The farmers were shipping in all
their grain from California and were
paying $1,000 per ton for it, delivered.
lie also stated that the dairymen
were forced to pay 500 per month for
mixers when they were able to Sc
cure help at all.
Now, if some of the tanners here had
bard-luck story like this to tell there
might be some excuse for their wish
ing to trade or sell out and go else
where. Mr.. Relton states that after
thoro investigation he is more deep
ly assured than ever, that if man
mas airy ability along farming lines,
is Industrious and persevering, with a
little capital on hand, he can make a
bigger success of the farming game
in the Columbia River Valley than in
any other district he has visited, and
they are numerous.

A drove of over four thousand
geese being fed in the north part of

them. a rather unusual hour. Some
of them who were never known to
show up before 8 a. m. can now be
seen on the streets most any time
after S O'clock. If you have never
gazed upon a flock of four thousand
geese there are people here ready to
testify that it is some sight and

administration will move carefully
but as speedily as possible in the
matter of releasing the boys from
service in order that industrial dis
turbance may not ensue. while at
the same time there is evident an

vice just as rapidly as it can be
done. To what extent soldiers will

have served in battles does not ap.
pear to have been determined on
