English wn-.en ars failures at business, s.t least that Is what statistics would seem to show. An increase in the number of ""-omen who have failed In business Is fhown by the bankruptcy statistics which have Just been published for th-3 year 1921. In U21 there were three women who failed in 1920. Out of 3. 472 receiving orders issued 32 5 were against women traders, of whom 52 were In the. drapery and haberdashery trade and 47 in millinery and dressmaking. '-Marriage and thoughts of marnfcse are. the caurc, according to "Jss Ulspcth rhelps. Court dressmaker. 'o many women fall to learn their business properly," Miss J'hclps sas. "They do not train themselves adequately; they will i or put their hearts into the work; tltey shirk the drudgery that a man SLcer ts. "The reason for this is a fundamental one: They are all thinking more about marriage than about business. They may be in business to earn their living-, but too often they regard their activities merely s a stepping' stone; they have not marie, up their minds to stick tu Imi si ners." Tonrion newspapers are written ith a lino air of delicacy. Disten f" this paragraph written in one of the many "'oss.-p" columns: "At the end of the year the arrangements of her Vajessty arc subject to alteration in order to permit the Queen to make a short visit to Princess Mary at Goldsborough Hal!, or In the event of that place not being ready at llarewood.

Labor Party in England Not Made Up of Toilers, but Progressive Element

By DAVID M. CHURCH. STAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. N. SERVICE LOXDO.V, Jan. "Watch labor!" This is the word that is being passed by rtritish political observers, for the Impression Is prevalent that staid old Britain Is on the verge of government by a labor party. Of course a labor government Is not an immediate probability, for things move slowly In England, but it certainly is agreed that the prisent trend of politics is In favor of the labor party. There are many who are willing to wager that there will be a labor government within the next three years. The election of a Conservative overnmont. -under the leadership of Eonar Law, is rrobably the best thing that has ever happened for tho labor pary. There are already very patent signs that the Bonar Law party ts going to be reactionary, but. l!ko America, England is done with things reactionary. It win take time, but the resentment against reactionary things will pile up and pile up, and the next election will probably see a victory for the labor party at least that la the opinion of such rersons as Lady Astor, Sir Hall Caine, 31. G. "VTells and scores of other progressive thjnkers. The labor, party cannot be regarded any longer as strictly a labor party it is traveling under a misnomer. The so-called labor party is really England's progressive party; In its ranks are the most progressive thinkers In England, and hornyhanded itons of toil aro in the minority. Kamsay MacDonald, leader of the labor party, has never been a manual laborer. lie was a school teacher in his early days and later became a private secretary, nts career In rublic life during last few years has been one of statesmanship. - Arthur Henderson -was once , a working engineer, but he was also an intellectual laborer, for on Sundays ha was a local preacher. J. V. Clynes has been a Kianual laborer, but far jn the distant past; for many years he has been a figure in public llfo and an organizer of labor. H. G. "Wells, author and historian, is a driving power in the labor party movement. Margaret Bondfteld. leader of the women of the labor rarty movement, is an economist and organizer.

WORLD SNUGGLES UNDER BLANKETS IN BLEAK DAYS OF WINTER COLD

fit i 1 v-V rE4jS5 OF TU HbGTH CHICAGO With -winter's and cold, blanket time has come. I But it has a different meaning for different dimes and people. In the Far North, trappers are mashing along their trap-lines gathering peltries -while the bells of their dog-teams tinkle through the white valleys and snow-weighed wilderness. To them, blankets ire utilitarian necessities. In milder zones, when mCar'y takes her coffee and rolls among ber morning pillows, her robe, according to fashion's decree, must harmonize with the corerlids of ber tied. To her,blankets are a style and an' ornamental detail of the home beautiful. Blankets are in universal use. Bat few of the millions who draw them up about their ears at nisrht devote a thought to the blanket's romance. It traces back to dim centuries and touches every people and tribe. It conjures up pictures of pioneer exploits, empire-buOd-ing achievements, fur trade adventure, vanished civilization of Aztec and Inea and soldier bivouacs in a thousand wars. But the blanket has kept step with civilization. Perfection of handiwork, color, design, lustre, softness, lightness, durability, warmth, combine to make the blanket of today a work of art.

One of Rock Island's holdup men Is a sadder, perhaps, but wiser man today. illsa Maria Smith Is a niece of Charles Miner, member of the Rock Island police department. Her. uncle saw to it that in her education the art of self-defense did not go without attention. A holdup encountered with Miss Smith on the slruet. A left hook to the thug's Jaw was hor response to his orders to "stick 'cm up." The footpad went down in a heap as Miss Smith strolled nonchalantly on her way. "My uncle Charlie taught me hotv to do It." Miss Smith explained. "I sure put that fellow to sleep."

January. - Mauna Ioa, the esuvius of the Hawaiian Inlands, is due for another great eruption. a Such was the prediction of U W de Ms-Xorton, celebrated on the islands as a local geologist, based on native tradition as handed down hy Princess Kohanumokua.

I'roressor Thomas A. Jaggar. canologist, who is now at the tano House on the big island, ports the theory. Mauna Loa erupted last In tem'ber. 1916. The eruption Sepwas followed by the periodica! lava flow In 1919. The theory Is that the lava breaks out of the summit in thete cycles of nine years and is followed by a flow out of the side Should the theory be borne out in the Spring as in former years the eruption will occur in 1323 and the subsequent lava f!ows in 1925. The other pit of Kilauea. on the side of the mountain, Mauna Loa. is steadily rising and shows considerable - gain after each rise. The lake of lava In the southwestern corner of the pit Is rising now at the rate of six feet a day and is expected to show Its greatest activity between December 15 and 22, when a large group of visitors from all over the islands is planning to visit the volcano. Although the lake of lava in the pit is constantly rising and is overflowing on the northern edge, where the sides are- lower, the pit, does not present an alarming specNowhere in the present-day movement that seeks to ally art to industry is the intricate process of blanket manufacture rnore impressively illustrated than in the srreat Wear-well Blanket mills of Marshal!

BELT FIVE GIBSON", Ind.. Dec. 26. The I. II.

The Christmas holiday did not keep a fafily good crowd from coming to see their favorite in action. Zimmerman's playing easily stood out with six tinkers to the basktt and also making the only freo throw. Tarnogrodski made three free throws out of six trys. The St. Jos eph's, while playing a good passing game during the first half, were unable to overcome the superior team work of the railroaders. On next Friday the Diamond (A.

"With five ctories on their string and no defeats and having trounced the Simplex, and Inland Steel five, they are now looking for some real opposition. "With such men as Scott, Zimmerman, Grace, Miles a.nd Labus In their lineup, local amateur teams don't seem to be able to give them much trouble, and It looks like some of the big fives will have to be checked In to give them a real game.
