NOT EASY TO KILL SOLDIER
Three Tons Of Metal Were Used In
the World War in Destroying
Each Fighter.

Nothing caused the newspaper read
eg during the war greater surprise
than the colossal expenditure Of am
munition.
1t was agreed that in former wars
it took mans weight in bullets to
kill him. In other words, that for
every thousand rifle bullets fred away
one man was killed.
In the late war, If all the metal ex-
pended in ammunition were reduced
to rifle bullets, no fewer than $4,000
would be required to kill man. OF
course, the calculation is rendered
difficult by the fact that millions Of
tons of metal were expended, in put
ting up barrages and the like, and IN
intensive bombardments of the enc
my's positions, but it is safe to say
that for every man killed in the war
about three tons Of metal were ex-
pended.
Such calculation is staggering and
yet comforting, for If the old average
had held good, all the armies engaged
in the war, vast though they were,
would have been annihilated to the
last man.

proper not more than per cent of the
men and 2 per cent of the women can

advancement in the education Of
women has been made during the
last twenty years. The Encyclopedia
Americana, published in 1920, says:
"Until very recently, female education,
10 far as it existed, was mainly a
private or a family affair. OF late
years, largely through missionary in
fluence and example, the education Of
women has made surprising progress,
and the tendency is now strongly to-
ward more equality in intellectual
training without regard to sex"
