Woman Should
Choose Her Mate,
Says BritisheI

London, March 1.-The right Of
choice of a mate should belong to
women, said Sir John Cockburn, in
a lecture to the Women's Freedom
League.
'The female always selects her
mate except in the case of mar" ="
he said. ''The reason why in the
human race it is the man who
throws the handkerchief is be-
cause the man has had almost the
monopoly of. bread-winning.
with the lower animals the
males are the beautiful creatures
and from them the female takes
her choice.
1--WE look on men as more cour-
ageous than women. That is abso-
Lutte nonsense. Women have more
courage than men and more ell
durance. The one great difference
is that man is wasteful and woman
is not. Economy would always be
the order of the day if it rested
with women. Girls are born in
favorable seasons. In time of war
famine and adversely male births
preponderate. That is why in
wealthy families there are so many
cases of there being no heirs and
plenty of heiresses, and so many
of these families die out as a re-
suit"

Man Rescued From
Death in Snowslide

Silverton, Colo, March Id.
d. Smith, local railroad agent, had
a narrow escape from the white
death" when he was buried in a
snowslide four miles south of this
city. Smith was dug out of his
frosty sepulchre after having been
buried for thirty minutes. He was
unconscious, but first aid meas
ures administered by two COM
panions soon resuscitated him.
The rescuers were Postmaster
I. II. Haas and r. L. Regan, a rail-
road lineman.
The three men made a snowsaoe
trip down the canyon to ascertain
conditions resulting from a big
snowstorm.
While Smith was aiding in the
repair OF a telephone wire he was
caught in a large snowslide that
completely engulfed him. Regan
and Haas, with only their snow
shoes available as shoveis, spent
half an hour sinking holes in the
slide before a low moan from
Smith was heard. He was located
IN a standing posture covered by
several feet of snow.

If Europe with its man power the fighting line was
also busy raising products to be dumped INTO Amer

during the war? 14;
Why did the German resistance collapse from starVatoh

WHY did the American Relief commission have TO 1eeo

The Prairie Chicken
After he left Mr.. Fox, Benny
Badger hurried here and there
and everywhere in search OF
prairie chicken.
