many women for the marriageab1e them are being compelled to make iH-assorted marriages in which the man, in nearly every case, is the weaker partner.
 Tn that way women are gaining the ascendency and it is a certainty that any society ruled by women will lack intellectual courage, logic and initiative. Women married to men who are their interiors will become embittered with life. Their exDeri- ence will discourage other women who are thinking of marriage Pre- sertfy we will find whole body ot women, with a large and active ma jority of unmarried women controll-' ing things, and men will have a "very uhappy time.'

Texas Beach Coated
 With Fresh Asphalt

VELASCO, Texas. April 5.-Fish ermen have reported that thousands of tons of fresh asphalt have been washed up on the ocast. Blanket like strips of 25 to 50 feet in length and varying in thickness up to several feet were cast up Sunday morning along several miles of the beach, they report
 One fisherman experienced diffi- culty in making his way through the surf to shore after the first striI of asphalt had bowled him over as he was adjusting his tackle far out in the surf. A kerosene bath was necessary as result of his en- counter with the viscuous flotsam.
 The appearance of asphalt in the beach surf reyives stories told many years ago by coast residents oi similar occurrences long before the discovery of the Tampico oil fields The surmisc has been advanced in the past that the asphalt originated from some section of the bottom of the gulf through an earth dis turbance causing emissions of the substance from an underlying deposit.
