WOMAN IN BOSS
SHOES CONFIDENT
Forget You Are Woman While
In Mans Job, Is Miss Clara
Carretson's Tip
IN GROCER EXCHANGE POST

An ardent advocate Of new thought
and person whose favorite author is
Dickens-this is Miss Clara M. Gar
retson. who has been elected secretary
BY the board of directors of the Grocers
and Importers Exchange to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of John
Il. Poore.
Miss Garretson is the only woman
who has the distinction of being sec.
retary Of strictly commercial and
trade organization in Philadelphia. Be-
fore her election to this Office she was
assistant secretary to Mr.. Poore for
more than fifteen years.
She doesn't sit at her desk worrying
about the percentage Of bobbed- haired
girls there are in the city or about
Women,s rights, though she firmly be-
ieves In 'em. She has her theories
which she quietly puts into practice,
but the passion for reformation has
passed her by. =
She 'unlocks the door to her Office,
picks up her mail. glances over It and
answers the telephone almost in one
gesture. And even when she says she
thinks the. first requisites for sue
cessful business women are punctuality,
loyalty, interest and good business
training, you are not particularly
startled.
Literature is her hobby. It is Dick.
ems that she likes and then Hawthorne
and Scott. Modern writer's? Well,
now, let's see. Who are some of the
modern writer's? like novels, but I
don't have much time for them"
And there is her lodge-the Order OF
the Eastern Star-of which she Is worthy
matron. Those are ''the things she
lives by" her work, her books, her
lodge and new thought, which she de-
clares is the coming thing"
There is still prejudice about
women working. too She added. "but
! think that will be done away with in
lime. l have heard several comments
to the. effect that my job is not a

Miss Garrctson lives at home at 6315
McCallum street, but she frankly ad-
nits that domestic life has never in
lerested her in the least.
The reason women do not succeed
IN business is because they will NOT
forget or let others forget the fact that
hey are women---this so-called fem
ninity' is what is the matter with them.
But the woman who wants to sue
'eed In business can if she tries. There
s no reason in the world why women
should not enter any field in which

No. 238--Turning the Coins

Set ten coins in circle, as illus
trated. with all of the heads up. Ask
some one to start with any coin and
count around the circle to the right, | =,
.. 3. 1. The fourth coin the spectator
must turn over. lie may then start
again on any head he chooses and count
l. ., 3, 4, turning the fourth coin. The
problem is to continue this procedure
until nine of the coins are turned tails.
The spectator, however, Will find that
after he has turned four or five coins
he will be forced to start Oh Il tail, or
else stop on n coin already turned. The
performer, however. finds no difficulty
in accomp' ishing the task the first time
he attempts It,
The rule for success is very simple.
Start anywhere you please and count
l. ., 3, 1. Turn the coin, and then Sc
crety count three more. Skip them
and start your count on the next coin,
again counting l, ., 3, t. Skip three
more and again count. Continue this
procedure and the trick will come out
correctly.

Women Facing Maternity
 Nay Have Helpful Advice

NEW YORK. July 1.-The high death rate among women of the United States during childbirth and the ignorance of the proper methods of nursing and care of the mother have led the Maternity Center Asso- cistion of New York to publish 12 talks for mothers stressing the vital importance of complete maternity care. More than a million of the pamphlets will be distributed na- tionally.
 The association asserts that more women between the ages of 15 and 45 die from causes incident to ma- ternity than from any other cause except tuberculosis. Dr. Haven Elm erson. of the associations advisory board estimates that only one woman out of IF in the United States receives the benefit of mod ern medical and nursing science at childbirth. The result. it is said, is that more than 10000 women lose their lives during childbirth each year, more than 100. 900 babies are born dead and more than 1O0,- 900 die under the age of one month.
 The association hopes to convince expectant mothers that prenatal care is needed, and lead them to| present their cases to local nursing and public health organizations and receive personal advice and di-| rection.

LONDON COPS CENSURED FOR
 CLUBBING MEN
Policemen's $ Lot in London Is Not Easy One = Few
 Boobies Carry Arms.

', LONDON. July IA London ro- man the other day for clubbing a prisoner over the head before arrest ing him. He did not ccnsure the policeman for striking the mon with his club, as he was violent, but for striking him over the head VI ! i He said the policeman ought to have hit him over the legs or on soma other portion of his anatomy
 The incident serves to illustrate q striking difference between the com parative freedom allowed the police in America in using force in sub duing an ohstrepororis prisoner and the restrictions that are sought to be imposed upon. them h"re under similar circum stances. And some other differences. too.
 The man who was clubbed was hailed before tha police corr. indge on the charge of assaulting a police, man who was trying to get a drunken woman to a police station.
 The policeman said he was sur. rounded by a hostile crowd of about 200. Whitehead-the man who was clubbed-struck him on the face and body. In the struggle both fell to the ground and someone then kicked the policeman in the ribs The po- liceman drew his club and hit White hesd, who was stin showing fight
 a& .sh-''A l could reaab hhp Aas- iesf..
 In many of London's mean streets a hostile crowd batting policeman is as common sight as in the United States it is a rare one.
 Here the policeman carries a "truncheon," which is by no means such a formidable weapon as the American policeman's club And if he hits a violent prisoner over the head with it when he ought to have hit him somewhere else. he is apt to get into trouble. Only when he is on ., very dangerous "beat" does he carry a revolver The rough who as. esults him ordinarily runs no risk whatever of getting shot and very little of getting badly hurt. There fore, he is not afraid of scrap" with a policeman. especially when drunk.
 Y There is strong feeling here Against arming the police and it must be assumed that those who have au- lhorttya oyer them know their own baeiness best and ahat. is best for = bssteetion Pf the police,

NEW STRIKE IN KANTISHNA;
 MANY CLAIMS ARE STAKED

There is considerable excitement in the Kantishna district over the recent hard rock discoveries, the value and extent of which have not yet been determined. News of the find was brought to town by Sam E. Ivey. well known oldtimer, who made. the trip out from Roosevelt with Grant Courtney.
 The discovery which started a small stampede, was made by Shan non, at a point about twelve miles from Copper Mountain. Ed Jern, Mace Farrar and a number of others in that region rushed to the scene of the strike and MT. Ivey was told that about forty claims had been staked. The ore values thus far found do not warrant any great excitment, but the discoverers are hopeful that development will dis close the presence of shipping rock.
 John Anderson is also reported to have found a six-foot ledge ad-, joining the Grant & Giles properties on Copper Mountain, now being prospected by Jack Price. Samples assayed show s200 values.
 Work on the Grant & Giles pro perty is still going on, lnder the direction of Jack Price '-d. 1t is understood, will continue through ut the winter, on small scale.
 Hydraulic operations are now in progress on Moose creek, where the Sutherland-Howel outfit has large holdings. Two nozzles were at work at the time Ivey left for Nenana, but there is a lot of over-burden to be disposed of before the gold will begin moving into the boxes. Con- tinued wet weather has caused the di.ches to give some trouble, but the work is now proceeding satis- factorily in spite of handicaps and delays.
