TIMELY VIEWS ON WORLD TOPICS

 '"The result is a woman self con. scious and painfully vain of the posi- ton she occupies in American life Mems like faithful poodles, have trot- ted after her, and when they are not talking Nolstead they are talking woman. Women rule the country to- day They encourage jazz, in fact they are responsible for it!
 'fWomen have set the pace for in do1ence. They do not work half hard enough, and such work as they do they exaggerate the importance of Frankly stated, women are lazy. They make a great ado about houseworI. They complain about drudgery,, and they are in most cases to restort to slang. 'stal1ing.'
 "Women have too much leisure to be domestic. That type is on the wane. The present day average wom-' is somewhere between the old fashioned domestic and the recently jazz type. I do not believe in a 'hug-the-hearth' woman any more than do in her opposite. Eventually, I suppose woman will get her balance and will combine in ideal proportions her love for gaiety and her love for domesticity.

I would ask that all of us find a set of principles, however few and fail they be and stand by them. A lack of standards seems to be one of the weaknesses of the age we are now passing through

the wall surrounding it had fallen, and the other three walls were grad uaily becoming ablaze. The flames were creeping steaithily up the sides of the hut itself and streams of smoke were beginning to curl into the place where Ruth was sleeping. Occa-
 sionally, a hot flame, like a dragons tongue, darted in and started. a new
 blaze. Sudde~'y the girl awakened and sprang froI-I her straw bed. She
 rushed to the door of the tiny room
 and threw it open. but quickly closed it again as she saw the thick volumes
 of smoke and flames without. Ruth looked about her for a means of escape. There seemed to be no outlet Suddenly he eyes fell upon an old cloak lying on the dirt floor
 Hastily picking it up and throwing it over her head, she threw open the
 door and plunged through the smoke
 and flames into the outer chamber
 Cropping her way through the thick
 smoke, she was unable to find a way out. She was surrounded by four
 walls of fire.
 Suddenly she bumped against some thing in the middle of the room. Rub ping the smoke from her eyes, the girl endeavored to examine her discovery. It was a mast-Iike pole with boards healed upon it for steps leading upward through the top of the hut. Without further thought Ruth grasped the pole and started climbing.
 High above the hut. on the top of 1 the pole, was the crows nest look 1 out. Revived by the fresh breezes l from the sea, Ruth was able to reach the top, As she climbed into the 1 small lookout. she sank down for a moment, completely exhausted. Then, after a few moments, she began to look about her. The smoke had spread through the immediate vicfn- ity and it was impossible to get clear vision. She could see none of the party who had been in the hut with her.
 Finally the wind changed, and in stead of an ocean breeze, a land breeze came up. sending the smoke
 out to sea. Ruth looked below and saw the flames hungrily licking the straw-thatched hut. Already the base of the pole was beginning to crack1e. She wondered how long her position would be safe. The minutes seemed like hours a. the girl waited in vain for aid to come. A strong land breeze caused the pole to sway slight ly. A new horror struck her. The lockout would be safe for only few mere moments. She shouted wildly. hoping for help of some kind. An other gust of wind caused the mast to sway. Suddenly it broke at the base and crashed toward the angry waters of the sea with Ruth clinging to the lookout

 The MOrOsini family, noted eques- trians all. contributed two daughters to the record--Victoria, who eloped with the host1er. and Giulia, who married Arthur M Werner, a mount ed policeman. Then there was Mrs James Burke Roche, who married Aurel Batonyi, her groom, and Ethel Croker, daughter of the old Tam many chieftain, who eloped with stableman.
 The Webb Sisters Happy
 About half of these unconventional alliances are down on the records as successful up to the present, but those that failed have proved enormously expensive.
 The Beaver Webb girls appear to be happy. Mrs. Louise Beaver Webb Leonard, the policenan's wife. recon ciled to her father, spends much of her time in her parents home, while Patrolrnap Leonard is on duty in the park. He has not found it necessary to resign from the police force. They live in a little apartment uptown, far from fashionable Park avenue, the home of the brides family, but not so far from the Central park bridle

New York, March 9.-(SpeciaD- The Man on Horseback is coming into his own again on the fair field of TO- nance.
 What is there about a horse that makes it irresistibly advantageous to a man in love? Since the dawn of history the great lovers of the world as a class have been equestrians first the knights of. old, the cavaliers who succeeded them and all the rest of the merry company The automo- bile usurped the place of the horse in industry, the airplane made him useless in war-but chauffeurs and aviators have had their brief day in society's spotlight and the horseman still claims and takes his own against all corners.
 Miss Mathilde Mccormick, betroth- ed to the middle-aged Max Oser of Switzerland, a riding master without riches, will find a precedent for her engagement in American social regis ters.
 Princess Mary's Romance
 And if she would have higher au- thority, was not Princess Mary Of England wooed and won on the hunt ing field by Viscount Lascelles, whose title is merely one of courtesy, given to the son of an earl?
 It is only a few months ago that Chicago society was startled by the marriage of Edith Beaver Webb, daughter of J. Beaver Webb, the dis tinguished companion of the J. Pier pont Morgan family, to George Miles, a. groom in Benjamin Behr's Lake Forest stables. New York buzzed with equal intensity over this ro- nance, for the brides sister, Louise Beaver Webb. had been married not many months before to Patrolman Thomas Leonard of the Central Park mounted squad.

 American women are suffering from too much Hmelight. They are talked about, written about, thought about far more than their real importance warrants. They have been codd1ed too much and. like spoiled children, they are taking advantage of their codd1ers to don1ineer and d O as little work as possible.
 This is what Mrs. Margaret Cuikin Banning, authoress. thinks. Mrs. Ban ming is no gay-1ipped pitf1re. but a charming young woman, the happy mother of three children. She has proved conclusive1y that she bears a message for American women by her novels, three en1in ngtening discussfo ons of domestic life in these United States, This Marrying Half Loaves," and "SpelI-Binders" the last to be pub 1ished shortly.

 How it began I do not know, no doubt with the feminist movement, which stung the sex with realfza- ton of their apparent subordinate ness.

No Cause for Jealousy

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am engaged to a young man who lives out of town. l was going to movie in my home town. and as I was at the box office getting my ticket a friend was also going in and paid my way I did not see any more of him once we got into the theatre. Indirectly I told this occurrence to my fiance and he took it up entirely differently. He says I should not have allowed this man to pay. my ad- mission My fiance knows of my friendship with this gentleman before met him. FAo-
 The man who paid for your ticket was offering you a casual courtesy. Often the merest acquaintance will pay your car fare and think no more of it than he does of standing aside and letting you walk ahead of him when passing out of a door. For yob to protest against the young mans playing for your ticket would have been to give the matter entirely too much importance. He thought noth- ing of it, as is proven by his not join ing you in the theatre. And If he had followed up this chance meeting by coming and sitting next to, you at the picture. I'm sure this would not have affected youf loyalty and devo- ton to the man you love.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Try To Be Broadminded Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I have been going about with a young man for the past two years, and during that time I have learned to love him. He has told me of his love and wishes to make me his wife; but as our faiths differ | am afraid to take the step.
 Do you think this would cause un- happiness in the future?
 MARCELLA.
 In spite of all the creeds and doc trines, most of believe about the saIAe things in this world. After all, does it matter by what path you come to a spot of beauty and peace if only the road over which you come is one you travelled fairly and honestly with respect and regard for its beauty and the rights of others :? The God of Goodness and Love whom we all worship, may manifest Him. self differently to differing eyes-but if we serve Him we1l-do you think we cannot work side by side with those who serve a little other than we in form but the same in spirit :? And this means that save in the cases of the very orthodox faiths, l believe dy in perfect security today. Tolera- tion goodwill, brotherly love and broad dmindedneSs are the things we need to day, not a narrow observance of creed that is more interested in doctrine than in the Great Spirit to whom the religion dedicates itself.

J. r. HEIMBAUGH RETURNS
FROM LEGISLATIVE MEETING

| ]. R. Heimbaugh has returned from
st. Louis, where he has been in at.
tendance at meeting of the State
Legislative Committee of the Order OF
Railway Conductors of America. This
meeting was for the state of Missouri
1t is at these meetings that plans
are formulated and policiesworkedout
and canvass MADE of the Legislative
conditions in the state. The legis-
lative branch of the organization is
one, if not the most, important branch
of the order which now has its mem
bers serving in congress. To an o.
K. c. man is due much of the credit
of breaking up the last of the old
political rings in the boss-ridden state
of Pennsylvania.
Laws enacted at the last grand con-
vention which met in Cleveland, Ohio,
last May, permit the 0. r. c. to
unite with all organizations, whether
Labor or unions of farmers to further
the selection of candidates favorable
ito the best interests of all citizens, for
1.-THE railroad employees and their fami-
lies make up great part of the
citizenship of the country.
The 0. R. C. convention, together
with the other standard railroad or
ganizations, are sending each of it's
members the weekly paper Labor
published in Washington, d. C. This
paper is most unique in the history
of newspapers. 1t is owned by the
sixteen standard railroad organiz-
ations and does not carry line of
advertisement and has lately had its
subscription list augmented more
than quarter of a million. Every
article printed in this paper is authen-
tic correspondence, and political
writers are selected from the best in
the country. 1t is edited by former
and has become one of
the most powerful newspapers in !,
America today.
Mr.. Heimbaugh advises that the
Legislative Committee, which he at
tended in st. Louis has authorized its
chairman to attend all sessions of the
legislature, thereby keeping in touch
with the action of those bodies and
that only such measures as are for
The good of the citizens of the state
will be endorsed.
Candidates for office will be given
IN opportunity to furnish their past
records if up for reelection and others
% say what their attitude is with
reference to pending legislation.
