machines were too close together to
allow the English driver a chance to
get out of the way.

8AY A WORD ABOUT CONSERVING COMMON

That's what this country needs right now to
CONSERVE COIBION SENSE. An article in
a September magazine deals with tho "conservation

paralysis that prevails the uso of old fashioned COMMON SENSE.
Biuiness men everywhere should take that advice.

Women Must Do Their Share-
By JULIA WARD HOWE, Author. Who I Ovr Nincty-on Years Old.
HE well being of society cannot be attained without th
CO-OPERATION OF WOMEN who have it at heart
Some women find their chief delight in tho study of publi
business, but far too many are INDIFFERENT. Co:i
we acquiesce in this indifference?
NO, WE CANNOT. WOMEN MUST MARCH WITH THE ARM! Y
THAT GOES EVER ON AND DISCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES. SO
CIETY NEEDS TO EXERT ALL THE POWER IT POSSESSES TO
ATTAIN THE HIGHEST RESULTS. WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR EF
FORTS TO BE WASTED.
I remember once being aroused from a deep
slumber in which I had a vision. I seemed to see
in a rather confused way a number of men and
women working at desks nnd tables, all workin;
hard and being evidently in a hurry.
A voice said to me: "Look at theso men and
women. They are WORKING FOR TIIE GOOD
OF HUMANITY. They are working liko ants,
like bees -yr, they are working liko engines for tho WELFARE
OF THE HUMAN HACK. Ilnvo a good look nt them and don't
let it pass out of your iiieiiiiirv. Tho word is victory."
