MEDITATIONS OF A MARRIED WOMAN All over the country, women ar., rising ti• protest against the horrors of the new long skirts! Yes, dour heart, they rise that way—but before they go to ted every mnrtel one of them has probably sneaked down to the dress -maker with half a dozen of her old skirts—and left them to be lengthened. That is WOMAN for you! She is called "The Eternal Question" be- cause she never knows the answer to her own problem, and the answer is never the same two days in suc- cession. The great mystery of the sexes, tc me, is not that men have ruled the world for so long, but how women ever managed to stop changing their minds long enough to get the ballot or any of their other rights and priv- ileges. Women are the champion time wasters and energy -dissipaters of the world. They talk of freedom in one breath —and in the next demand eagerly to know the latest commands, dictates and ultimatums from Paris. They protest with their voices— and rush to obey with their pocket- books. They are perfect gourmets for slavery. A question like that of the length of his clothes wouldn't occupy a MAN'S mind for forty seconds. If he liked long skirts, or long hair, or long beards, he'd accept them; if he didn't, no power on earth could thrust them upon him. It has been something like thirty years since there has been half an inch change in the length of men's trousers or the height of their col- lars. Men's tailors wouldn't have the nerve and audacity to suggest a more radical change than an extra button on men's coats, every five years. And even when he agrees to that, a man thinks he is making a terrible con- cession to the fashions. Twenty years ago men stopped parting their hair in the middle and began parting it on the side. But in that time women have chang- ed from bangs and buns to • pompa- dours and puffs, from pompadour and hook curls, from fishooks to marcel waves, from the marcel to bobbed hair—and now they are going back to long hair and buns again. Whew! A woman will spend more precious time, strength and enrgy in selecting a new fall hat than a man would in buying a factory or making a new law. has len °r°f"} 9oa1.- be ship tled n b highway over.„ati;greg.e. lime Scranton, Pitt m', Sec- tion, to NeW York t�r cause of the savings ,effected /*,loading, an - loading and lighterage' charges, , The coal delivery eoiilpbpies in the cities,, Ishii have been Idle all summer, will need additional trucks in order to convey the winter's supply to house- holders.

Still other railroads use motor buses with flanged wheels for operation on tracks over short routes. The New Mexico Central R. R. runs a flanged wheel motor bus line over 116 miles of track, and the New York, New Haven and Hartford operates a 104 -mile route. Twenty-five other roads run shorter lines, including the Canadian National. Convincing evidence of the increas- ed use of the motor truck is fur- nished by the proposal to link all large cities by trunk highways. The As- sociated Bighways of America, re- presenting intersate highways, plan to have a national trunk highway sys- tem that will connect the three largest cities in each state. Many medium sized cities and towns along the route would also be included so that much of the time now required to ship manufactured articles even for short distances would be saved. It is be- lieved that a trunk highway system for the entire country is not only feasible but is becoming a necessity. The extent to which the motor truck is being used at present is in- dicated by reports from various cities where this method of transportation is in use. Less than three per cent. of the milk that is brought into Cin- cinnati is transported by railroads ev- en under normal conditions and milk and produce dealers in the vicinity of Cleveland are reported to be using trucks altogether. Milk coming into Philadelphia by trucks now amount to 69,169 quarts daily, and it is estimated that trucks operating out of Louis- ville. Kentucky, will soon be handling 500 tons of supplies both on the out- bound and inbound trips. Under normal conditions the trucks and in- terurban" handle 76 per cent, of all perishable foodstuffs in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The meat pack- ing industry has also adopted motor transportation. Fifteen motor ex- press lines for hauling livestock ship- ments within a radius of 45 miles of Kansas City has been established. Another Kansas City motor line is planing to extend its radius of haul to a maximum of 65 miles. by pressing and manipulating the lump with the hand. It will be found that the bowel can be returned to the abdomen, leaving a somewhat .loose pouch of skin, and the aperture by which the bowel protruded can be felt as an oblong or ring like open- ing, thus distinguishing it from any other swelling. As soon, however, as the foal is allowed to regain its feet, the bowel once more protrudes into the sac of skin and the lump or tumor like mass again appears at the navel. The size of the rupture varies from that of an egg to a large-sized ball. Treatment.—As a rule, rupture at the navel in foals is not a serious condition, except when of large size. Those of small size tend ,to disappear in a large number of cases with ani- mal.growth and Recovery canent of the be assisted means of a truss or supporting ban- dage. The foal should first be placed on its back, and the lump or tumor manipulated with the hand to return the protruding bowel into the abdo- men. To prevent the bowel from again escaping, a pad or small cush- ion is placed over the navel opening and retained in position by a truss or supporting bandage, such as a leather band or canvas girth encircling the body, fastened up over the back, and prevented from slipping backward by means of a breast r eastband and breach band. The only objection to the use of a truss or bandage is, that It may chafe the skin if not properly applied. In the case of small ruptures; a good blister applied. to the skin around the navel has a good effect, as the swelling which it causes helps to close the opening and prevents the bowel from again escaping. If the foal reaches the age of four or live months without showing any improvement, and the rupture tends to enlarge instead of decrease, it may require an• operation to overcome it. The most common methods of oper- ation are by means of wooden clamps, skewers, and ligatures. In applying these, the foal must be placed on its back, and care taken to have the bowel contents of tele rupture sac returned to the abdomen. The skin forming the pouch or sae should then be grasped by the hand and drawn out as far as possible from the body, and the clampsor ligature fixed tightly and securely over the skin, close up against the navel ring or opening. The clamps or ligatures are then allowed to remain in position until they slough and fall off to- gether with the imprisoned skin and tissues.

Gray, of the American Bureau of Agriculture Economics, has returned from an extensive trip of investigation through Great Britain and the countries of central Europe. Professor Gray says he found the farmers'in Czecho-Slovpkia and parts of Germany in a conipai'atively pros- perouus condition. Their farms are well kept. Some of them are con- ducting large operations, not only in farming but in small industries in connection with their farming. One farmer had forty-five acres of aspar- agus and large acreage in other vege- tables and small fruits, besides oper- ating a mill and several other indus- tries requiring the labor of 500 em- ployees. The farmers with inflated currency and prices •'have paid off their mortgage indebtedness and are practically free from debt. The new land policies in the Balk- an States of cutting up large estates into small farms is having the effect of reducing surplus food production, said Dr. Gray. ' '/ Agriculturally, there ie every sign of rasid recovery in Central Europe, but financially the countries are plunging into chaos. In England and Scotland he found the lands that were brought under the plow during the stress of war times, are now being returned to grass. Efforts to get the ex -soldiers to take up farming has not met with success. It has been found that men who were farm laborers before entering the army do not make effici- ent farm managers. This season there is very large production of truck crops, including potatoes and small fruits, in Great Britain, and the markets pf that country are glut- ted with these products. Potatoes are scarcely 1'epaying cost of ship- ment to market.

Garry Was known to have suffered from in- somnia, and was supposed to have taken an overdose of chloral. The doctor so decided, and the doctor's word was law in such matters, and so there was no coroner's inquest. Then again, it was also known that he was doing a prosperous business with sev- eral buildings still in course of con- struction, and that his wife's step- father was a prominent banker. McGowan and his friends were stupified. One hope was left, and that was Jack's promise that either he or Garry would be at the Trustees' meeting on Mohday night. Jack had not forgotten. Indeed nothing else filled his mind. There were still three days in which to work. The shock of hie friend's death, tremendous as it was, had only roused him to a greater need of ac- tion. The funeral was to take place on Sunday,but he had Saturday and Mondeleft, What he intended to do for Garry and his career he must now do for Garry's family and Garry's reputation. The obligation had really increased, because Garry could no longer fight his battles himself; nor was there a moment to lose. The slightest spark of suspicion would kindle a flame of inquiry, and the roar of an investigatoin would follow. McGowan had already voiced his own distrust of Garry's methods. No mat- ter what the cost, this money must be found before Monday night. The secret of both the suicide and the defalcation was carefully guard- ed from MacFarlane, who, with his daughter, went at once to Minott's house, proffering his services to the stricken widow, but nothing was with- held from Ruth.

She could get closer to him in this position, she always told him; these hands and cheeks were the poles of a battery between which flowed and flashed the vitality of two sound bodies, and through which quivered the ecstasy of two souls. Suddenly the thought of Garry and what he had been, in the, days of his. brilliancy, and of what he had done to crush the lives about him came to her. Could she not find some excuse for him, something which she might use as her own silent defence of him in the years that were to come? "Do you think Garry was out of his mind, Jack? He's been so depressed lately?" -she asked, all her sympathy in her voice. "No my blessed, I don't think so. Everybody is more or less irltiane who succumbs to a crises.
