College Women Are Laroer.

College women have been increas-

last three decades and the modern
young woman who dashes across the
tennis court or the golf links is a
much finer specimen than was her
prim sister, even as late as the eight
les and early nineties.
All this is due to proper clothing
ana more exercise, DIR. Celia Duel

WOMEN QUIT OLD VOCATlONS
Fewer Now Employed in What Were
Considered the Most Suitable
Feminine Activities.

Although women are much more GEN
orally employed in what the census
calls "gainful occupations" than they
used TO be there are decidedly fewer
employed in what we're formerly CON
sidered as the most suitable feminine
activities. The census bureau has
published some figures bearing on the
matter. In the state OF New York,
for example, there were actually fewer
women teachers, telephone operators
and laundresses in 1920 than there
were in 1910 AS for the seam
stresses and dressmakers, their num-
her has diminished by half. on
the other hand. the number of
stenographers has increased In ten
years from 49,2S1 TO 1O3.721. Those
who are engaged in clerical work are
now 95,20S, as against 27.191. and
bookkeepers and cashiers have in
creased from 33,CO3 to GO.424. Incl
dentally, there are now 233 women
stevedores instead Of Z. and II women
policemen, where in 1910 there were
none.

Freeze Ground to Expedit. Work.

When building deep shafts through
soft and moist ground, the mining en-
gineer very often is confronted by
difficulties that up to short time
ago seemed to be insurmOuntable.
For Instance, water often spurts from
the ground, and IL has happened that
water flowed from the wallis OF the
shaft In such quantities that 1t could
no longer be controlled by powerful
pumps. A very novel method was
some time ago discovered which en-
ables the mining engineer to continue
and complete work. The ground
through which the shaft is 70 pass is
frozen solid, which makes the work
much easier, doing away with the
danger. The freezing is accomplished
by means of cold air pumped through
tubes into the shaft, or by The circula-
ton of very cold solutions"

Successful Type of Road

The highway department OF David

ment PISS miles OF old gravel and wa

cording to j. c. Creveling, chairman Of
the Davidson county highway commits
sion, comprise 20 per cent OF the coun.
ty system and carry 90 per cent Of the
traffic.
