1t seems that the French woman

actress cousins husband went over

That is overstatement. Nature
made women fatter because obliged
to nourish unborn children as well
as themselves. They needed extra
fat to carry them through the win

The women drawn by cave
dwellers more than a hundred thou
sand years ago were fatter than
any other race of women living
now, except perhaps, the Hotten-
tot girls, purposely fattened at the
marriage age.

Mr.. Vance Thompson, in his book
Woman" recently published BYE.
P. Dutton and Company, says that
the trouble is with men that have
forced women to lead an unnatural
life. Mr.. Thompson, who wrote
the book Eat and Grow Thin"
taking an unnecessarily desperate
view of woman's condition, thinks
she has been treated by men, as
the Strasbourg goose shut up in
a coop and gorged until it is all
liver.
There is some truth in the charge
that men, having on the average
very little intellect, have been little
interested in woman Intellectually,
too exclusively interested in her
physically. Woman in conse-
quence, knowing that she was
sought for her looks, devoted her
energies to making her waist
smaller instead Of trying to make
her brain convolutions deeper,

her cheek, or the arch of her in

MEETS DEATH
BY LIVE WIRE
WARREN-LAMB LUMBER COM
PANY EMPLOYE INSTANTLY
KILLED.

Rapid City, April Esd. Wake
field, aged AZ, night foreman at the
Warren-Lamb Lumber company saw
mill, met death by coming in contact
with a high tension current in the
boiler room Saturday morning about
four o'clock. The lights had failed
and he was about to connect an eX-
tension cord to light socket for the
purpose of tracing the trouble when
he fell with groan as the current
struck him. The assistant fireman
Ed. Irwin, was in the dark, and had
considerable trouble getting central
and a doctor, so that no attempt
could be made to revive the un-
fortunate man.
The Warren-Lamb company pro-
duce their own current for lighting
purposes and the light wires do not
carry voltage that would produce
death. But, in searching for the
c use of the trouble, it was found
at near the transformer of the Da-
TIA Power company, some little dis
t tnce from the boiler room, a piece
of hay bailing wire was discovered
lying across and connecting the War
ren-Lamb light wire and the Dakota
Power company's power wire This
wire had not worn away the insula-
tion on either of the wires it touch
ed, but the sleet and rain had so
weighed down and soaked into the
insulation of the current wires that
the current found and followed the
hay wire, burned out the light, and
a moment later killed Mr.. Wakefield
as he was looking for the trouble.

FOR THE BENEFIT

says:

which the war risk insurance bureau
is endeavOring to perform for our
service men, and am assuredly in
favor of any of it's aims and policies
that will inure to the benefit of oul
soldiers and Sailors
''At this time, l am informed, the
bureau is putting forth efforts to
place its benefits within reach of all
ex-service men, and in view of the
fact that the cost of maintaining his
war risk insurance is so light to the
soldier | venture to hope that every
ex-service man will take advantage
of the opportunity which is being
offered him.

Omaha, April 23.-Mars did not
send communications to theearth last
night. Or if it did, the message did
not reach the great wireless station
near Omaha at which DR.. Frederick
+. Millener, foremost wireless scien-
tist, sat all night trying to pick up
any signal the Martians may have
started across interplanetary space
with the object of telling people of
this earth that other intelligent be-
ings were abroad in the universe.
Late today DR.. Millener issued the
following statement: "The early
part of the evening we were troubled
with heavy static so that it was i'm
possible to hear anything except sta
tions in South America, Europe and
the United States. During the later
hours of the night, when the wireless
was stretched to it's fullest extent to
hear interplanetary communication,
we heard nothing that could by any
stretch of the Imagination be con-
strued as message from Mars. Our
experiments will be continued again
tonight"
The feature of the big station is
the unusual wave length and the
complete mechanism for clarifying
and analyZing sound. The aerial is
dead wire $1,000 feet long. The
sounds which pass along this wire
are amplified with powerful trans
formers.
The induction alone is so strong
that without any aerial whatever,
messages from 1900 miles away
sound perfectly distinct. Time and
again during the night DR.. Millener
changed the wave lengths of the
great machine so that stations of the
shorter distances, such as Hawaii
and Cuba could be heard. The wave
length was increased.
"There is Valparaiso calling Lon
don," said the doctor.
Another lengthening of the wave
Berlin is calling Mexico City"
Then as the long wave inducting
the 10000 meter coupler and the ST.
900 feet aerial wave gradually
heightened all the notes of the scale
sounded higher and higher until the
highest tone passed beyond the hear
ing and above the range of earthly
wireless and as the great station
started searching through the infin-
ite regions of interstellar space all
sounds ceased. The wave was far
above the sounds of the earth and
nothing would have been recorded
except sounds of a wave which no
sending station on the earth could
have produced.
The wireless receiving station is
the result of decade of experience
and years of actual construction. Its
range is not known for no gage has
yet been made great enough to test
it. Tonight the great machine will
again be in action searching through
space.
