they might support a family and raise
children we'll. Women have been well
satisfied within the boundaries of their
home-until Of late. when they have
discovered a new and somewhat thrill
ing field-the business world, here
tofore ruled by man alone. And, just
between ourselves, like to think that
not the money but the mental and
physical activity involved has been
the compensation in this new life
for we have had to work our sleepy
heads considerably more than we had
been required to work them when con-
fined to our homes alone, and our con.
facts with people in the workaday
world cannot but have given us a
wider field of interest than we could
have had closeted at home. l do not
say that we are better off than before,
but that it has not been money alone
that has called us forth.

always buried in sand The friction

rail is built trough, which holds
the sand. The rail is covered to a
depth Of 2ia inches. Numerous tests
