Bonnaure, an engin- ger. She is dainty French wom- an, and Is very modest about her exploit. When asked why she risk ed so dangerous a journey she re- piled quite simply, "Why, to be with my Husband. of course"
 Her advice to would-be explorers of her sex is terse. 'Tf women want to go from Gran to North Afrcia to Cape Town in an automobile they must make up their minds to do without their daily bath and their morning manicure. They must be ready and willing to lend a hand in tight places, either to pull the car out of a rut or help 10 build bridges Of logs we built 129."

FREE STATE WILL
 START GREAT WORK
Electrical Project on River
 Shannon Important

Dublin. Sept. :s tp The cleo trical project about to be inaugu- rated by the Free State on the River Shannon will cost in the partial form adopted for its inccp- tlon approximately s26,oo0,ooo' This includes an additional 15 per cent of the actual cost as interest on the capital during the con- struction period and the first five years of the working of the scheme. The extension of the scheme as the demand for the sup ply of electricity continues will bring the total cost to more than sS5,000.0
 While the project was approved in both houses of parliament 1t was criticized principally because the contract was given to the Ger man firm, Siemcns Schuckert, without competitive bidding.
 The government will finance the work out of loans, but no large one is as yet contemplated.
 ne cApenuituTc lHNoNSu III 'h" scheme will be met as it arises and for the first two years it will not exceed sS,I50,000 yearly. Limerick. through which all the material will be conveyed, expects to greatly benefit from the work and 1t is estimated that more than 5000 men. 300 of whom will be semi skilled, will be employed for about three years.
 Six German engineers, with about so Irish assistant engineers will be in charge of the scheme, which will involve the maldng of 100 miles Of cmbankments, exca. vating 5,O00,000 cubic meters of earth and the blasting of 100000 meters of solid rock. The electri- cal load of the partial scheme will be 1so,o00,000 units and the cost per unit at Dublin is calculated at o.b3 pence. The transmission lines from the power station to Cork and Dublin will be at 100000 volts and will be carried on steel masts s5 feet high.
