ANOTHER GOAL FOR WOMEN.

The National woman's party 10 going to try
ito remove legal Discrimination against
women"
In the past one never knew whether ne bad
70 dodge a brickbat or a bouquet when Alice
paurs pepful followers rallied round the picket
banner.
Whether one agreed with them or not as TO
their unprecedented methods of campaigning,
nobody questioned their courage.
Many things entered into the late suffrage
victory. Years of patient. educational work on
the part of women whose hair Is now white and
whose feet move haltingly, laid a firm founda-
ton.
They suffered the ridicule that comes to pion-
GERS.
They had the steadfastness of purpose 10 keep
right on when there wasn't a ghost of a show
of their winning out.
Slowly public opinion changed to favor the
cause" Wyoming. first state to grant equal suf-
frage, adopted it largely as the result OF a joke.
But from Wyoming to Tennessee, the perfect
thirty-sixth," there has been no turning back.
Eight years ago Alice Paul, a young Quaker,
gathered a group of progressive women about
her.
Lets concentrate our fire on congress" was
her call to her clan.
The rest is history, or at least, first page pub
Lefty.
Blu the battle is not yet done.
ITO remove legal discrimination against
woman" the new task the woman's party has
cut out for itself, Is no small one.
The most ultra-conservative can find nothing
Objectionable in that goal.
But when it comes to altering laws already
on the statute books there are several ways Of
doing it, none of them easy.

@. One sometimes reads of a per-
| son being entirely swallowed up by
a quicksand. How a a semi
fluid substance be less able to float
a man than a liquid medium. which
itself will support him SO long as
the lungs remain full of air?-W.
M. w.
A. The Geological Survey says
that water cxerts a pressure in all
directions. whereas quicksand ex-
erts no upward pressure. Conse-
ouently anything thrown on quick
sand will sink because there is no
upward, compromising pressure as
in water. Moreover a pure quick
sand is composed OF nearly spher-
ical grains OF sand which will re-
volve with practically no friction
due to l~ubricating effects of the
water present so that any body ly-
ing on quicksand sinking downward
on account Of the force OF gravity
will also be pulled down by the eff
fects of the revolving gralns OF
sand.
@. How long will different liquids
remain mixed Pc. u. A.
A. In general liquids will remain
permanently blended if n is solu-
BILE in the other as for example a
blend OF gasoline and l~ubricating
oil. With emulsions, the rule IS
that the emulsion will not be per-
Emanent unless a third liquid is pres
ent to coat the drops and prevent
their reuniting. When one liquid
is not soluble in the other, and no
emulsion Is formed, the liquids may
| stay mixed for q time II they are OF
nearly the same specific gravity.
The greater the difference In speci-
| fc gravity the quicker they will sep
arate .

NO STATE BONDS FOR ROADS

There is not going to be any big bond issue

Q little too hard. They overdid the matter. a
continuation of the state highway tax OF one

It is very easy to overdc this paving matter.
It il evident that a real permanent paving that
will withstand present traffic has not yet been
found. Concrete properly laid comes as near
t. it as anything, but no modern ROADS OF TINS
material have been down lorg enough to give a
true test. In the meantime, it is folly to BOND

the bonds do, anyway. They ought to last a

SETTLING TRANSPORTATION PRoBLEM.

FrObLEM.
With everybody pleased over the latest ruling
of the United States Railroad Labor Board It
looks as IL the great transportation problem that
has so distressed the country for the past few
months was in a fair way to be solved. There
is every indication that BUSINESS conditions are
improving. 1t only remained to have the as
surance that the lines of transportation are to
be kept open and conditions adjusted so as to
benefit everybody, including the shippers, to
make prosperity certain.
That conditions could not continue on the
same basis as during the war was recognized by
everybody. The railroad employees admitted
this, but they objected to the arbitrary manner
in which the railroad officials were going about
the REIMBURSEMENT. The railroad labor board
has laid down certain rules that will form a
basis for all negotiations hereafter and as the
representatives of the employees, as well as the
officials of the roads, find them acceptable there
remains nothing but to carry out the plan. 1t
certainly is an encouraging outcome for a rather
complex situation.

Wilson'S performance was unsatis-

When Wilson left the ring after
the bout he was booed loudly by the
crowd. while Downey received a round
