to 220.

LondOn.-British women have scored
a new triumph by obtaining admission
to the Institution of Naval Architects

institute on the question was 491 to

When the result was announced, Sir
William Smith moved hat women be
admitted as members on equal terms
with men. Sir Alfred Yarrow, in sec
ending the motion, mentioned the case
of women joiners who were employed
a short time ago in building a destroy
er. He said they made a magnificent
job Of it," and the boat was accepted
by the admiralty without a demur. He
mentioned another boat which recent

speed yet obtained. The lines of that
ship were determined partly by a.
young lady named Keary."

Hoaxed By Sea Lions
Woman's Cries Call Out Rescue Party
on Wild Night OF Point
Firmin, Cal.

Los Angeles.-It was a wild night
off Point Firmin.
A gale was blowing and the edges
of the huge combers which were roll
ing into the rocky shore were being
torn to shreds by the wind and driven
in fine spray against the embattled
cliffs.
Suddenly, as the gale died down for
a moment, the shrill voice Of a wom-
an apparently battling for her life in
the seething surf, pierced the air.
Another woman in a coy cottage
on the cliffs above heard it and sent
in a hurry call to the harbOr (San Pc
dro) police for A dozen
men armed with ropes and life buoys
rushed to the scene in an automobile.
Directed to the spot they hurried
down the Cuffs to the edge Of the
foaming sea. Again a cry-then more
cries rang out.
What they saw was
A half dozen sea lions each having
the time Of it's life, barking and ca
vorting about on the rocks.
"Tll be-" said one policeman,
while the others laughed.
They bundled up their l~ife-saving
apparatus and went back to the sta
zion. There they avoided reporters.

oblivious of war and its alarms, was

Carrier pigeons tell headquarters OF
the progress of a battle. Here is a
typical report when the French army
fought along the Aisne:
1T Immediately appeared that the
destruction OF the German defense
had been accomplished with as much
success as could be hoped for In so
difficult a country. BY 1880 a. nj. we
learned by carrier pigeon and other
means that the Chateau de la Motto On
the French left near Allemant had
been carried, and that at the center
Malmaison Fort was taken. At S:45
Allemant village had been occupied,
the prisoners numbered a thousand,
and the French assault troops were ad'
vancing across the central plateau to-
ward VaudessOn and Mont Parnasse
quarry. At 10 80 the news was that
they were at the north of Hill 173, the
further spur of Malmaison plateau.
and in a quarry 800 yards west of the
fort. BY 2:45 p. M. the villages OF
Chavignon and Vaudesson, with sew
eral neighbOring quarries lying on the
northern edge Of the Aisne hills, had
been occupied. Chavignon was the
furthest point contemplated In the
plan and represented an advance OF
one and one-half miles made In the
face of the best remaining troops OF
the German empire"
