Embedding itself in the wood on the
stairway. An investigation disclosed

 The Mills men are peculiar, or so they seem to me. They are very |taciturn and don't care much about to women just because they them- selves happen to be men. can't ex- press myself very clearly about this because I never got it very clear in my own mind. l never could under stand what difference it makes which sex you are. It's what you do in the world that counts, and al- though I am only 20. I have seen a good many women who had more get-up-and-g than their menfolks. It's character, that's what it is.
 People that have character get things done and are successful, no matter how they are born or what advantages they have, or whether they are men or women. I can't see why anyone should think wo- man isn't as good as a man, or as useful or whatever you choose to call it, or should think themselves superior to other people, when character Is the only thing that makes anybody superior.

ARCH ST. WIDENING l
 PROJECT DISCUSSED
Property Owners Explain Two Projects to City Board

About 25 merchants and property owners on Arch street attended the hearing at the board of public works last evening in connection with the proposal to widen Arch street from Walnut street to Grand street. The proposed widening will give the city a 40 or 42-foot street, according to which proposals is accepted by the board. The first proposal embraces widening the stret two feet on the east side and four feet on the west, while the second proposal is for an increase of two feet on the east side and six feet on the west.
 Two delegates from the South church stated that they were in fa- vor of widening the street at their property to promote better parking conditions on the east side. At pres ent parking is prohibited on the east side except during church services, but the hope was expressed that with the widening Of the thorough fare parking will be permitted on both sides at all times.
 Max J. Unkelbach, an engineer, stated that the street could be widened without disturbing the present building lines and that this would be the best course, in his opinion. He was backed in this be- lief by those present, which included Louis R. Raphael, Harry Alex Con- rad Wahrenberger and Ossian s. Bennett. One of the petitioners stated that the petition called for 40-foot widening when signed, but the sponsor of the paper, MT. Ben nett, stated that he thought 1t best to put the matter into the hands of the board for action in any form it thought most suitable. The matter was tabled for inspection by City Engineer Joseph D. Williams.
 Alderman David L. Nair presented to the board an appeal for hear ing on the matter of cutting the curb at the intersection of Stanley and Allen streets back II F. feet in order to do away with the dangerous cor ner at that point. It was moved by the board to entertain a hearing on the matter.
