'woman to be considered ai possessing- equal
rights with her co-worker "man," but It

The Fence Problem
To the Kdllor ol the Evening PuMIc ledger'
Sir With reference to Mr Mason's fence
rroblem, which he ay "can be solved, al
tl.oush some professors say It can't," I wish
lo say that so lorur aa no definite number
ot rails per section la stipulated no solution
Is possible, for there Is an endlecc serlts
of fields which will fulfill the other condi
tions of his problem. The area of these
fields may bo determined by multiplying 2f00
by the square of the number of rails per
section.
Thus the area of a two-railed field Is
2Pro4.
Thus the area of a three-railed field Is
2SI.0X0.
Thus the area of a four-railed field la
2,-ihOXlO
Thus the area of a flve-ralted field Is
2860 y 25,
And so on till the rails or the land or the
eld dome gives out.
This conclusion Is arrived at as follows:
Let X equal area of field In acres
Let V equal number of rall per section.
Then 100X equals area of field In square
reds.
Square root of 160X equals length of one
side of field In rods.
i times square root of 160X equals distance
round field In reds.
Blnco rails are one rod long, 4 times square
root of 100X equals number of rails to go
nrourd the field once.
Fo (4 square root f 160X) "V equals
total number uf rails, which enuals X
Then (4 square root of 160X1XV equals
X.
Squaring both tides and dividing by X'
lflXlflOV square equals X
2.1H0V square equals X
This equation holds for all vatue "f V,
whether there be a or 42 or 142 rails rer
roitlon Consequently thi profesmrs are
right In railng the problem nn stated cannot
bo ietlnltely solved. TOOK.

THE U. S. USCO TREAD
Hero Is the U.S Usco Tread, with

The U. S. Chain Tread elves suf

THE U. S. NOBBY TREAD
Where the cclnn: is specially heavy
with enow, mud or sand, In hilly
country whero maximum traction
on tho road Is n factor, no other tiro
tread yet devised Is quite so effective,
or so wholly approved by motorlnc
opinion, as the U. S. Nobby Tread.

The makers of U. S.

But they won't.
They might sacrifice

they don't.
They might have laid
