Frenchman's Great Idea
for Ocean Metropolis

A floating city, anchored in the
ocean between the Old and New
worlds, is the daring proposal of
Leon Foenquinos, Marseilles en-
gineer. M. Foenquinos wants to build
a circular steel ring large enough to
contain population of 100000 that
would be 'the most majestic work
of man" 1t would be anchored at a
shallow spot, less than 200 feet deep,
that is located in the Gulf stream
about half way between Paris and
New York, at 43 degrees longitude
and 45 degrees north latitude. The
ring would be $50 feet high, it's in
ternal diameter 1882 feet and it's
external diameter 1900 feet. The
idea is to call the place atlantis"
and it will be complete city with
Jail metropolitan conveniences, and it
lis hoped it will be desirable break
lin the voyage for tourists between
Europe and America. There will be
suitable landing places for ships and
|planes. 1t will be the eighth won
der of the world"

worked harder. He Is still bound to|
the wheel. Why should women, by
initiating him in this respect, hope
to achieve what he obviously has
not achieved? They could not do it
even by standing on their heads.
Emancipation? Vain word. There
is no such thing. 1t Is will-o'-the-
wisp which it is folly to pursue.
Work, worries, cures, responsible
tiles, sorrow and adversity-there is
no escaping them. Some stand them
better than others, but only by grace
of superior spiritual and moral re-
|sources-certainly not by being
|emancipated from them. Only one
thing can do that-and, while 1t is
often spoken of as turning up ones
toes, it is not putting ones feet on
the desk.-New Bedford Standard.

One Emancipation Few
Are in Hurry 90 Meet

The emancipation of women, ac-
cording to one DR.. Olga Stastny,
can be attained simply by fitting
back in their chairs and putting
their feet on the desk-just like a
man.
1t is an easy way to achieve eman-
cipation, and there is no doubt some
kinds of work can be done in this
position. A business woman could
read her mail with her feet higher
than her head; could dictate letters
might even take dictation If the boss
were not reduced to speechlessness
by the novel spectacle. But for such
jobs as cooking, minding the baby,
doing the family wash, and so forth
the feet-on-the-table stance would
violate all efficiency rules.
AS for emancipation, we can only
ask: Emancipation from what?'
Probably the doctor never thought Of
that. Ask anybody, man or woman
If he wants to be emanGpated, ant
it Is dollars to doughnuts he viii
say yes. Ask him what he wants tx
be emancipated from, and it is {
$500 to 81 shot he won't answer.
Work? Not a chance. Man, wht
has been putting his feet Oh the desf

IT'S easy to throw off a cold
when you know what to do
and do it. Two or three tablets
of Bayer Aspirin will break up
a cold in a jiffy! Take them
promptly. Bayer Aspirin will
check your cold at any stage,
but why wait until you are
miserable? These tablets are
perfectly harmless because they
don't depress the heart. If your
throat feels sore, crush three

BAY re:
Radio Church Bells

The very latest idea in bell music
comes from Tintagel parish church,
in Cornwall, England. This church
was the first in the country to install
a adio-gramophone system, and this
proved so successful that arrange
ments were made recently to repro
duce records of bell music by means
of moving-coil loud-speaker placed
In the church tower. 1t is claimed
that records Of bells played in this
way cannot be distinguished from
the real thing. And, of course, the
loud-speaker installation is much less
expensive than genuine bells would
