Women and World Uplift
Te tht Battar of JTettne PubHe Ltdaer!
Sir When one nttempts te list the
humnn qunlltles that seem most neces
sary te the establishment of a better
world, n great mnny of them appenr te
be these most ehnrncterlstlc of women.
It Is net for nothing thnt war Is cus
tomarily represented by a masculine
figure nnd peace as feminine, and there
Ih reason, tee, In the personification of
blind Justice and of mercy In wemnnly
rebes.
The entry of women Inte public
affairs and their widespread interest In
world problems nre two of the most re
assuring feature of the present situation.
These nre the reserves In the bnttle for
a better adjustment of life a struggle
In which all of uh, whether we realize It
or net, are engaged.
Sir Charles Wnkcfleld, hen of the
Sulgrnve commission thnt has recently
ceme te America from England, does
net put It tee strong when he dcclnrcs
thnt the women of the United States are
one of the greatest assets of clvlllzntien.
Their imnginntien, energy nnd spiritual
insight, he cxplnlns, nre highly valuable
te modern society. Always women have
pleyed a part In the making of history,
but new, with their increased study nnd
Informntien en current questions, nnd
with their bnllets, they tnke n mere
prominent nnd premising place thnn
ever before. B. L-. W.

Automobile Safety Devlcee
Te Ihf tldtter et Ins Bvenlne PuMle Ltdeer:
;ir go numerous nre automobile ac
cidents, both In the cities and nleng
country reads, thnt It Is net surprising
that inventors should turn their wits
toward autemntic safety devices. The
Scientific Amcricnn reports the newly
begun manufacture of a device that ap
plies the brnkes, cuts off ignition nnd
blows the horn of a motorcar the very
Instant thnt pressure of fifteen pounds
comes against a patented wire bumper.
It Is said that complete stoppage of a
passenger enr is mnde by the nutemntlc
menns in one-third of the tlme nnd
one -half of the distance required by
skilled drivers.
Fractions of seconds count for much
In case of n meter nccident. With
this in mind the Inventor hns arranged
n button en the dashboard by which a
driver, seeing himself being rushed Inte
ii collision, cun step his car much
sooner thnn with feet or hnnd brnkes.
Pedestrinns will be glnd te hear thnt
even though knocked down by n enr, the
force is minimized by the resiliency of
the wire bumper, nnd 'there is less
danger of being run ever because the
autemntic control has already stepped
the car the Instant pressure Is felt. In
surnncn companies nre snld te be pleased
nlse that, with Ignition thus cut off,
there is ltttle danger from fire.
The ene drawback is from the point
of view of the cnreless or heartless mo
torist who deserts his victim. The in
vention steps the car nnd thus delays
(light. This all sounds ns nttrnctivc
te the police ns te the populace afoot.
One cannot be tee sure of the success of
such remarkable sounding inventions,
but doubtless a day will ceme when
automobiles are manufactured with
some simple safeguarding dirdce.

"Signs and Tekeni"
Te the Editor of the Evening PuMIc I.ede'rl
Sir New comes our own Pennsyl
vania hunter, trnppcr nnd weather
prognosticator, "Bill'' Altman, with n
prediction that the approaching winter
lu te be long nnd intensely cold. This
Is ns much as Bill will venture just
new, but he hns premised inter en
te foretell the periods of storms nnd give
dntes for the extremely cold periods.
This preliminary warning is issued ns n
tip for nil households te lay in ample
stocks of fuel.
The country is well supplied with
wenther prophets, but few are se fn
mnus or se mysterious ns our own Bill
Altmnn. He lives in n cabin nil by
himself In n wild nnd remote section of
Pennsylvania, and no one lias ever
wormed out of him just where he gets
all of his advance Information. But
about twice n year be breaks Inte print
with n forecast nod there nrp people in
Kane, up in the northwestern part of
the Stnte, who sny he hits it oftener
thnn the Weather Bureau. According
I te reports from Kane, Bill has received
letters from Weather Bureau officials
wanting te knew his system, but he
only answers with the Inugh thnt ama
teurs get se often from experts.
Bill's forecast for a severe winter,
however, is backed up by the snvnntB of
ether sections who speclalie In study
ing "the signs." Twe noted Indian
prophets of the Northwest beat our
Peniisylvnnian te the papers this time
with their observations, one of them

What the "Weman"
Said of Kipling
It may net have been chivalrous for the poet te write
of woman as "mere deadly than the male," but It is
certain that when Kipling wrote his "Female of the
Species" he little thought that a tete-a-tete with
a charming widow was going te create such an
acidulous international discussion.
His thoughts must turn back te his own words con
cerning a mere famous widow whom he immortalized
in "The Widow of Windser," wherein Temmy Atkins
sings "It's safest te leave 'er alone." Who ks this
charming but talkative widow whose comment con
cerning Americans is "They are always talking"?
Her quaint conceptions concerning the obligations of
a guest make sprightly reading.
Fer an interesting story concerning the widow
who started this "tempest in a teapot"
read
"The Female of the
Species Who Was
Deadly te Kipling"
