SMOKING BY
 WOMEN NOT !. so WICKED
But Is Rather to Be Frown- ed Upon, Say Bos-
 tonites

;. Boston. Jan.4 4s.-Boston folk are of uncertain mind on the declaration of a New York judge that cigarette smoking by women is not immoral
 Mary E. Driscoll, head of Massa- chusetts branch of the. Inter-depart- mental Bureau of Social Hygiene. believes that many nice women do enjoy their cigarettes. but she does not believe that it: is the best thing thing to do.
 ..Its a: habit induised in by wo- men of 2society and women of the underworld" she said. ''and if some girl of the middle class tries 1t she waN be at once classified with the wrong kind of girl"
 Doctor Charles Page can see noth- ing. immoral In 1t. eff a man smokes, surely his spouse, should have the them sit down together and puff away. Might even start interesting contests as to which could blow the most perfect: rings"
 The greatest drawback that milady will find, according to Dr. Page will be that her peaches and cream l complexion will become sallow, hel
 dainty fingers will soon show yellow stains and-but why enumerate thu unpleasant resuIts! Louise Cuts Powell, however, ha, | very decided opinions about wome:

RECEIPT FOR
 LONGEVITY IS
 TO BE MODERATE

New York, Jan. s.---Don't worry and be moderate in all things if you want to live to be 70 or more. This receipt for longevity was given today by Dr George L. Meylan. director of the Co., Nmbia University gymnasium.
 There Is abundant evidence,' says Dr. Meylan, Ito justify the belief that the average duration of life could be increased from ten to twenty years by the general adoption of the principle, moderation in all things" Deaths by infectious diseases or violence are excepted.
 The characteristics of people. over 70 years, Dr. Meylan finds, are that they do not worry, have a happy disposi- ton and eat, drink, exercise and en- joy themselves moderately. =
 Exactly the opposite conditions he says, "are found almost invariably in persons between 90 and TO years who suffer from organic disease oi the nervous, digestive, excretory os circulatory systems and premature senility, but the vicious circle of un- hygentc living usually includes over stimulation, worry, excesses In pleas- ure, abuse Of drugs and worry"

GIRLS TOO BUSY FOR LEAP
 YEAR
Business Conditions Leave Little Chance for Old
 Traditions

Leap year is far enough along now to demonstrate that 1t is only shadow of it's old self. The busy young women of Manhattan declare that there arc too many opportun1- ties for girls to make their own Hv- ing nowadays to bother about pro- posing to young men who pronaoiy couldn't provide homes.
 Leap year Is headed for oblivion" said ono of these young business wo- men the other day ''If records for the first days of this leap year were only available 1t would be found that the proposal average has never run so low The answer is found in the 'help wanted columns of the New York newspapers. There never has been a time when young women have been in such demand in all lines of business.
 "They proved their worth in the war in many lines from which they were supposed to be permanently barred. They showed there is no field in which they cannot excel. If the war had lasted a few years long CT they would have upset all our traditions and theories about women in industry, just as they upset the traditions and theories of Great Britain and France. Why, Great Britain even had a model of a war ship. which was entirely built by women. Do you suppose any live l integer of a sex which can build battlesntps Is going around asking ! for. the privilege of chauffeuring g l gas stove and warming the coffee o1
 some young male person who hasn'' half the business initiative of any | progressive girl of today?
 Salaries never were so good where | women are concerned. Of course ex 1 penses have increased too, but tha | doesn't frighten a woman as muci | as it does & man, because she ha:
 more ways of beating the game. l bachelor girl can cook all kinds e
 cheap meals in her apartment, ever
 though she has only a gas burner t I work with, but MT. Man has to rul
 and spend his last available four bi
 piece for something to eat at & res
 turant. So the business woman o
 today is just getting on fine, thanl
 you, and is not interested in lea
 year except as revival of ancien
 and musty tradition.

Fox Ranching Great
 Business In Canada

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land, Jan. s.--Fox ranching on this is- land province Is steadily growing and this season 1t is estimated that about 5000 will be shipped from here. The prices range from $1.oo0 each for si1- ver fox skins down to $1o for the cheapest grades.
 Ranchers are giving up the breed ing of the cheaper grades of foxes as they cost just as much to feed as the others and domestic reds are now a rarity. A number o6 individual farmers in this province arc starting small fox ranches.
 The government has always wasted many millions, but none of these leaks can be stopped, as every one of 'em Is in some Congressman's dis trict.

NOTED STEAM ENGINEER
IN LEXINGTON ON VISIT

N. T. Mckee, of New York, held to
be the foremost authority on super
heated steam in the world, is in Lex
ington on a visit. He is chief engi-
neer of the Locomotive Superheated
Company, the largest organization Of
its kind. He was born and reared in
Mt. Sterling, son of Judge Henry
Clay Mckee, and is a son-in-law of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. Perry, of Lexington,
having married Miss Eula Perry after
his graduation at the University of
Kentucky.
More than $4,000 locomotives in
the United States are equipped with
the superheated device developed
under Mr.. McKee's supervision, and
the equipment was installed on many
ocean vessels during the war. It
produces more steam with less coal,
often saving as much as 80 per cent.
of the fuel ordinarily required. 1t is
the only device, one authority says.
that has produced any marked econ
omy in locomotive operation since the
advent of the locomotive into the
transportation world.
Mr.. Mckee spoke to the juniors
and seniors of the engineering col
lege at the University Tuesday after
noon.-Lexington Herald.
