A Secret Society.

'It would shock, or bore, or disgust
the world in general, suppose, II all
the school teachers and Office workers
who want to marry should suddenly
tell the truth. The public prefers to
believe that women cherish their eco
nomic independence more tenderly
than they ever could cherish husbands
and babies. And our pride helps to
keep up the great delusion.
MANY Of us, especially the older
Ones would never admit our loneliness
and disappointment, perhaps, even to
ourselves; but the majority, / believe,
have had to tell someone-some
equally lonely woman friend-wheth-

stincts, of imprisoned powers.
eve form a kind Of great secret
society. The initiation Is, mercifully,
gradual: the dues are endless; the

HOME OWNERSHIP

"There is, unfortunately, only too
solid a basis for the complaint of the
president of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards that home
ownership decreased materially in
the United States during the decade
191O-1920," says the Washington
Post in an editorial. The census re-
turns show that about 80 per cent of
tie population owned their homes in
1910 and that this proportion had
shrunk to AZ per cent in 1920.
The Post, after noting improved
conditions further comments: ut is
therefore to be hoped that the ex-
traordinary activity in building
operations which has characterized
the last few months, and which on
other grounds is so heartily welcome,
is also sign that the people in in
creasing numbers are once more turn
ing their thought to get rid of the
incubus of rent by becoming the
owners of the homes in which they
dwell. Such movement, it if as
sumed anything approaching national
maknitude, would be incontestable
proof of the return of a great wave
of prosperity"

Cling was uncovered on Puget sound

eral months to be successful SNUG
gler of Illicit goods from Canada into
the United States, was captured at
Seattle. 1t had been known for some
time, federal officers state, that
dumping device was in use on some of
the smuggling boats, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. but a complete
outfit of this type had never before
been captured. Along with the seizure,
more than $1,000 worth Of eontraband
