 Absolutely flreproof construction has been adopted throughout All floors are terrazzo and the window frames are of steel. In fact, with the excep- ton of a few interior doors, no wood has been used in the building.

 "Three automatic elevators have been installed, all with access to the roor, which win be utilized to the fullest eX- tent for open air and sunlight treat ment.
 'Construction work began late in De- cember 1917, but owing to various de- lays incident to the war. the building will not be ready for occupancy be- fore May 1919."

PORTO RICO WOMEN
 MODEST IN WISHES
Do Not Want Universal Suffrage Given to Ignorant Women Of
 the Islands
zu Assoclafad Press

con Than. Porto Rico, March 1S.-That women in Porto Rico should share all rights granted to men under the exist ing laws. is the proposal of an act introduced in the house of representa- lives by Representative Gonzalez Mena
 The Woman's league of Porto Rico with over 2500 members throue hout the island. and which is working to obtain the votes for women, is not in favor oi the hill as it is considered too sweep ;ne in it's terms. The league fears that if the vote is given to ignorant and illiterate women throughout the island if will mean only more votes to ba controlled by the politicians.
 If wants votes only for women who ca, read and write, more for ucation- al and patriotic reasons than for po- litical purposes. and the women expect to use their influence and power in so- cial charitable, moral and intellectual ways.
 finder the control of the Woman's S Ieayue of Porto Rico the woman's suf- frape movement in the island has made a considerable advance considering that if has been in progress only two years. For many years Porto Rico has held tha usual Latin American idea of wom- ans place in lfe.
 Bills providing Tor woman's suffrage ware introduced last year in the legisla- tlre hut failed to pass, while not very strong hopes are entertained of the hin recently introduced, which in any case ia thought by the league to be foo far-reaching. Members of the League however. say they are not dis coura aeed and will continue their work unti, the women of Porto Rico who can read and write are given the vote to be used for the moral and social benfit of the island

What Is Intoxicating?
] Efapgood. in Leslie's $.

Norman Hapgood, in Leslies.
 The federal prohibition amendment does not enact itself It leaves both pen alties and definitions to legislatures. Congress can act if it chooses, or it ca.i leave action to the individual states. Whether the fight takes place in Com gress or in the state legislatures there will be a merry time. If Congressional definition is too liberal for any state, the state legislature can add a stiffer statute; but if Congress is stiff no state legislature can ease the situation. Many legal definitions are involved, but the most interesting is this: What liquor is intoxicating? If you can get enough two per cent uear-beer into your system. without bursting, it may intoxicate you; but is it an intoxicating liquor? And how does it compare in harmfulness with ice- cream soda9

know they are large enough to make ! it so.
 l To our own business men, who have suffered only a temporary disarrange- nent of business, the brave words of ! this Frenchman come as a clarion calil l O fcourage. If amid the silence of the | shattered ruins of Rheims the future | looms large, how much larger it must loom amid the busy hum of produc- tion and commerce of our own land. To employer and employe there is opportunity today such as the world never offered before for mutual cos operation, mutual endeavor and mutual achievement. In the rebuilding of the world there is work to keep all busy ! and to afford to all generous profit.
 But there must be rebuilding within the hearts of men as well. The grow ing spirit of brotherhood must more
 tban cross the border lines of na- tions: it must wipe out the linese of
 classes. For at heart all men are
 brothers, striving together to the same
 purpose. With equality of opportun-
 ity, every mans future looms as large as he can envisage it, and he can
 make it just as large as his own man hood.
 For material success Is not all, nor the most. Bigger and bigger ever looms the future to the man or woman who is steadily growing in the higher qualities of the mind and the heart and soul

Striking Oil in Texas

George McQpaid, in Leslle's.
 In the Texas counties of Eastland and Stephens alone where the deer drilling has proven the field, there are approximately 675 wells drilling or preparing to drill The cost of these wells will be about S3S, 1000. They are expected to produce 200,O00 barrels of oil a day, worth $450,000 These dre west Texas counties and in the area that suffered from drouth the past three years with disastrous effect on the crops and live stock. These lands were worth but little for farming pur- poses and had small value before the discovery of oil under them. Their present value as oil lands Is estimated to be about one-tenth of the total tax able values of the state.
 Development of these new fields has brought such a great number of peo- pie to neighboring towns and cities as to tax their facilities for homes hotels and offices. But the strain is most severe on transportation com panies. Neither of the new pools has more than one line of railway. Witt all that could be done to expand tns terminal facilities at Burkburnett .ant Ranger there have been frequent em- bareoes on freight shipments to the fields and delays are interfering witt deliv of steel that is necessary ir develC ing oil fields. It requires about 12 weeks to get a shipment from Ohio river points delivered to Ranger. and almost as long to get delivery to Burk- burnett.
