SOO Locks Are Scene Of Great
 Ship Activity

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, May 10.- With the opening of navigation for | the 1922 season this city, at which is located the Soo locks, among the fin est and best equipped in the country, has become a scene of great activity. Indications point, shipping men say, to decided increase in marine ac- tivity over that of last year. a dull season due to business depression. Although no such condition is expect ed as resulted during the war period, when the tonnage passing through the locks broke all records, a decided in crease over last season confidently is predicted. The freight tonnage on vessels locking through in 1921 ag- gregated but 4S,259,254 short tone, against 79,282,496 short tons for the precedinf year. The 1921 total was the smallest in more than a decade, the season being described by ship ping men generally as the most dull, from 2 bushes standpoint, in the re- cent history of the lakes.
 The season of 1916 established record in freight shipments, 91,SS8,- 219 short tons passing through the locks
 All figures include the traffic for both Sau1t Ste. Marie. Mich., and Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, locks being built on either side of the border.
 The Michigan locks enable lake yes sels to pass the rapids in St. Mary's river here and to proceed with but slight delay from the lower lakes to Lake Superior, or vice versa. One hundred steamers pass through the locks each day during a normal sea- son.
 The state of Michigan built the first ship canal here, completing the pro- ject in 1853. It consisted of two locks, arranged tandem, each with a
 Then came the We1tzed lock, 815 feet long, completed by the United States government in 1881. In the same year the government assumed control of the entire project.
 At that time nationally promin ent engineers visiting the Soo declared the Weitzel lock would be large enough to handle the greatest boats ever built on the lakes. Now the Weitzel is too small for 90 per cent. of the traffic and is used as a repair basin, or dry dock
 The Poe lock, 800 feet long and 100 This was followed by the Davis lock- 1850 feet long and so feet wide, and the Sabin lock, of the same di- mensions as the Davis.
 The lock across the river in Ontario Is of about the same size as the Poe. vessels may be locked through the Soo in 25 minutes.
 The American locks are surround ed by beautiful government park largely designed by L. c. Sabfn, res ident engineer in charge,w who built the Sabin and Davis locks
 The traffic through the locks fin 1920 was three times the amount passing the Suez canal. More freight passed here in October, 1920, than went through the Panama Canal for the entire year,
 The cost of operating and caring for the St. Mary's canal and locks in 1920 was 164, 1000, which amount to less than three mills on each ton of freight. No charge is made by the government for the locking privilege.

 MT. Wilson has not forgotten, nor does he believe Democrats generally should forget, that it was under his leadership and upon his policies that the Democratic party achieved two continuous terms of admin Filtration at tory
 This alone. he believes, entities him to be the sage of the party, if nothing else. And that, according to his friends, is all he wants-to be con- suited.
 It came to light today for the first time that MT. Wilson's spectacular break with Joseph P. Tumulty, his up with his decision to go after ''Jim' Reed.
 Certain of Senator Reeds support
 CTS ir Missouri, with or without his consent, conceived the idea that it would be exceedingly helpful to Reed in his fight for renomination if he could be assured that MT. Wilson
 would keep hands off, They even
 hoped that the former President
 would let "bygones be bygones'' and
 perhaps say quiet word for Senator
 Reed.
 A Reed emissary was sent to Wash | ington, and he naturally sought an | approach to MT. Wilson through his
 former secretary. MT. Tumulty, 1t is
 said, promised his efforts in this di-
 rection, and the Missourian hurried 1 back to Missouri convinced that "ev- | erything was fixed up" and that MT. | Wilson, if he did not actually endorse | Senator Reed, would at least keep | hands off.
 The story got about in Missouri
 and several of MT. Wilson's ardent
 supporters, who were bitterly opposed to Senator Reed, wrote him indignant letters about it. One of these letters said it was 'inconceivable' that MT. Wilson could be lending his support to Senator Reed.
 It was all news to Wilson that he had lent support to his old enemy and he promptly agreed with the writers that it was 'inconceivable.'' 5 Within two weeks he took effective measures to express his displeasure at MT. Tumulty's activities and force full approval of MT. Reeds candidacy.

Women FdUOr L0lU
 Citing Economic Equality

based on the suggestion that the most vital grievance still suffered by a wife is that unless she has pri- vate means or a profession she is st:m economically dependent on her husband.
 ''The measure will provide that the amount of income allowed a woman by her husband should be set down by law and not left to the casual gen. erosity of the husband. In addition, she will be a responsible entity. and her husband will not be responsible in any degree for any torts which she might incur damages It is ab- surd to talk of responsibility for any debts or damages of any kind as long as married woman has no income Of her own with which to pay them
 Nationality Is Question.
 Moreover, there is the question of woman's nationality. Why should a woman lose her nationality simply because she marries man of race different to her own? To remedy this evil. however, the law would have to be international. In Australia woman has the right to retain her own nationality and de- maud protection of her own Gov ernment whatever the nationality of her husband might be.
 Our great friend in all these movements is undoubtedly Lady As tor: We expect much of her. Her assistance and sympathy up to now have been invaluable. She is doing more for the women of Great Britain than any other person"
 What about Mrs. Asquith % l asked
 II was talking about the good of all women, not one woman" re- Sponoed Mrs. Hub back.

 Washington. May. 1O.-Political Washington-and there is no other kind in these primary days--is watch ing with intense icterest the qulet but nevertheless insistent way Tn which Woodrow Wilson is keeping on the trial of Senator "Jim' Reed as he swings through Missouri seeking renomination at the hands of Missouri democrats
 Three tines, in as many weeks, now the former President has emerged from his shell to strike at his old opponent by means of letters to prom inent anti-Reed Missourians:
 The first letter excoriated Senator Reed as incapable of sustained al- legiance to any person or any cause: the second advised would-be cand1- date not to compltcate the race by entering it, and the latest missive de- scribed Senator Reed as a "marplot."
 In the background of MT. Wilson's s renewed political activity is a good deal more than merely personal dis like for the man who as much as any other one individual caused the defeat of the cherished League of Ma tions. MT. Wilson, according to cer- tain of his political intimates, has de- c.ded to make Missouri this year the testing point of the sentiment of the country toward him.
 He believes that the country is no longer in the mood it was nearly two years ago when it gave an "anti-Wil- Ol dsUUU,UUU to w G. Harding; he believes there has been a reversal of sentiment. He deliberately selected Missouri, fl his intimates correctly interpret him inorder to test out this belief.

Lon1 on, May 9-Complete economic independence is promised for the wives of Great Britain within the next few months. A royal commission ap- pointed by the Lord Chancellor now is considering the ways and means Of placing legislation on the statute books which will make women. in every sense of the word, the equal of men.
 The law at present in Great Brit ain gives women all the privileges of men, but few of the possibilities. Within the last few weeks cases in though they have the equal franchise rights and the same qualifications as men to be members of public bodies, from a seat in the House of Commons Council, yet on the question of debt they are a nonentity; their husbands are held legally responsible
 Take a purely Hypothetical case. Lady Astor, the wife of Lord Astor and a member of the British House of Commons, representing a constitu- eency of 10000 very respectable men and very intelligent women, is en- titled to vote on their behalf in the highest session in the land, but should she in a moment of alteration hurl a brickbat through the window of Buckingham Palace as a. reprisa1 for some imaginary grievance, it would be her husband, Waldorf, sec ond Viscount Astor, who would be arraigned before the courts of law to make reparation.
 The women of Great Britain do not consider this fair. If they are going hfty-ffty on privileges they want to go hfty-hfty on responsibility. They are now moving heaven and earth to get repealed the old laws, many of which date from the time of King Canute- Lady Astor is their cham piOn. Already she has a bill put for ward in her name to abolish the legal inequalities of women. That follow ed the famous Peel case, in which a husband and his wife were jointly charged with fraud. and the case against the wife failed because in law 1t was presumed that she must have been coerced by her husband.
 InadeQuacy Discovered.
 After the bill was presented, how fore the courts, and it was discov- cred that the present law made the husband responsible for his wifes debts Therefor Lady Astor's bill was discovered to be inadeQuate: nevertheless. it served as a demon s-ration and the commission now is seeking to remedy all these defects and Straighten out the old law so that it will apply equally and un

 Practically all of the cotton used by France is of American origin. Her imports from Egypt and India are comparatively small American exporters, it is said, are contemplating a heavier movement of cotton in the coming months.
