sir--Apropos Of the married woman versus

pcet TO be again that much-maligned EN-
ployed married woman
Since the suffrage amendment has iten
nationally approved one would supp &c
woman to be considered as possessing equal
rights with her co-worker man but II
seems that old tradition and habit die hard.
Those who deem the hons the married
wcman's only proper sphere are surely not

biased.

surediy have II, Thus the employed mar

lacious. II I we're q man and u married

and women will strive TO make themselves
valuable. they will never lack employment.
Too many of them are afraid 10 exercise

A man chooses his profession. Why may
not a woman be granted the sarne privilege
Of self-expression? Must Housekeeping be

The Fence Problem

To the Editor Of the Ereriuc Public Ledger.
Sir--With reference 10 Mr.. Mason'p fence
problem which he says 'can be solved al
tl'oush some professors say II can't" wish
10 say that so long as no definite number
OF rails per section 10 stipulated no solution
Is possible, for there IL an endcst series
Of fields which will fulnll the other condl.
tons OF his problem. The area OF these
fields may be determined by multiplying 1850
BY the square Of the number of rails per
section.
Thus the area of two.raiied field is
2ECcS S4.
Thus the area of a three-raiied field is
cahoSo.
Thus the area Of a four.rated field is
Thus the area OF a nve-raiied ncld Is
a6eOX25.
And so on til the rails or the land or the
cid dome gives out.
This conclusion is arrived at as follows:
Let X equn area Of field In acres.
Let equal number Of rails per section.
Then l00X equals area of feld In square
rods
Square RIOT Of 1eox equals length OF one
side OF field In rods.
times square root of IsoX equals distance
round field in reds
since rails are one rod long, 4 times square
root OF 18ox equals number of rails 10 go
arourd the field once,
So t4% square root of 160X) xV equals
total number Of rails. which equals Y.
Then a square root OF l6oXDxN equals
Squarins both sides and dividing by y:
l8Si0oN square equals

This equation holds for all values Of V.
