Hollarn Wants Two Cubs for the Glen Miller Zoo.

The Water Works Company Wants to Supplant Fourinch with Six-inch Main to Spring Grove.

(Continued from Page One.)

Superintendent Ed. Hollarn is receiving communications from all parts of the middle West regarding his in

quiries for cub bears. He will petition j the board of works for an appropria- j tion to purchase cubs for the Glen Mil- j ler park zoo as soon as he gets a line on some animals at a reasonable price. ' "The bears ought to be bought at a 1 price ranging from $25 to $45," said , Mr. Hollarn. "They would add greatly ; to the present menagerie and we ought to get an animal there to take the place of Boscoe who died September 27. The cubs would be very little expense and in time would pay for themselves." I

that there would be many petitions for lights if this one were granted. The board decided that if merchants wanted better police protection they

should Dlace electric lights behind '

their places of business. The business men of the city will be notified of this action. Garbage Report. The report of the superintendent of the crematory shows that 598 yards of wet garbage and 124 yards of dry garbage were consumed in last month. Twenty-seven animals were also destroyed. No Street Flusher. The cost of $35 for flushing four squares was considered so low that the board did not believe it necessary to buy a street flusher at this time. The fire department will be furnished with a new hose and the old one will be given over to the street de

partment for flushing streets and sewers. The cost of a street flusher would be $1,100 and it would cost approximately $100 per month for its maintainence. According to Street Commissioner Genn the work at this tlme of year is very disagreeable as the water is very cold and the work has to be done at night. "It is very bard to find men who will work all night in wet garments," he explained. "All the money which has been appropriated for repairing streets, has been used. What can we do now," he asked. "We will have to stop," said Mayor Zimmerman. Smoke Nuisance. ' The assessment enrollment of the 'extension of the Cascade sewer west of South Fifth street was accepted by the board. This sewer will be used for dumping refuse of all kinds and will be restricted to the use of the city only, The sewer extends 109 feet and the total cost to the city is $1,798.75. Complaint was made against factories and the railroad company for the amount of smoke they raise in the vicinity of North Thirteenth street between C and E streets. The complaint was registered by Horace Logan in his own and in behalf of that neighborhood.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 14. Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, the famous novelist, believes that girls should not marry until they are from 25 to 30, and men from 30 to 35. She also declares that the present evolutionizing and expanding sphere of a woman's activity will not materially impair the functions of home, nor lessen the influence of romance upon the lives of men and women.

CASSEL The funeral of Mrs. Dai-

Mrs. Atherton is recognized as one of the most brilliant literary women of her time, and the long series of novels she has written has won her international fame. She is a traveler, a close observer of modern life in America and abroad, and a deep student of the present-day problems, especially those concerning her sex. In the following article Mrs. Ather

ton, who is at present in southern California, presents hef interesting views of woman and her place in the world today: I think the tendency of the modern woman is a greater and greater leaning toward independence. The modern woman perhaps will not marry unless she be a woman who wants a family. Heretofore, in years gone by, woman was taught by tradition to believe the culmination of ideal womanhood was marriage an ideal that has undergone a vast change within the last ten years. It is a sort of natural climax brought on by modern evolu

tion of, well, say commercialism, perhaps. The strife of livelihood makes necessary the securing of employment by girls and women. They are simply compelled to support themselves a condition that is as much of an ideal j to some as a tragedy to others. That is why they won't marry simply for i the sake of being supported. A woi man, of course, whose soul is yearning I for a home, naturally will marry ' earlier than a girl whose sole ambition impels the seeking of a career, whether it be art, music, the stage or any other goal. To me it seems there is nothing more tragic than for ; a woman who is not domestically inj clined, has no particular yearnings j toward motherhood, whose innermost soul strives for perhaps a career

a factor to be reckoned with, for she is finding her place. As for the effect on home life. I don't think there will be a material change. Aside from the servant question, which is for more important than the question of whether a woman should vote or not, a woman that wants a home will have a home. Even at that, if she wants to vote, become broader through public contact with important events and national affairs, and becomes interesting in general, I can't see where the world is wrong to suffer such a shock. A woman who is homeless or childless should not be

j put on a shelf as worthless. Some

are far more equipped for general usefullness after having passed the thirty year mark than when emerging from their teens.

I know one woman in England j whose wealth would permit her to i have every care of her eight children ; attended to by servants and maids, j yet she gives a part of her time to suffrage, has been jailed for the cause, ' and yet attends to all her children herself and fairly worships them. Of course there are some men who neglect their homes, or would from any cause, but, generally speaking, man does not slight his home for the sake of voting. Business of Woman's Clubs. ! Take the woman's clubs, for in-'

stance. The rich and fashionable follow sports, so to speak, the golf links,

boating, motoring, etc., and have other countless diversions; should the domestic woman simply live on in idleness? That is the blessing of club A woman may have any number of children, who in time marry or leave home. It is a godsend that such a woman should have a club to relieve

the monotony of merely living in the j past. No, I do nt believe woman's clubs are going to be the means of breaking up many homes, regardless of a few beliefs to the contrary. j In the past a woman could not take any initiative in politics, art, music or other development of her talent be- j cause man did not uphold it, but now 1

suffrage has added materially in dispelling this fallacy. If her individuality craves for hearing she not only is justified, but men actually uphold her; and this I believe will do much toward woman's enlightenment not as a medium to break ud homes. I

Rather than a destroyer of romance, suffrage should tend to bind a husband and wife more closely together, provided there exists a proper devotion between the two. You have heard

men say they could not talk of certain subjects at home because their wives were not informed. On the other hand, many a man comes home from business cares in a state of physical exhaustion. Such a man would not gain much by having a wife to continue the day's work in a palitical discussion. Yet if such a man did desire to have a wife interesting and well informed, the question is open as to whether she would act as a bore to him or on the contrary. Many Married Too Young. Frankly there are recognised authorities who firmly believe in the intellectual supremacy of a woman's mind, and merely because a man is

a man is no reason why the wife should not excel in mental equipment, if she has the inherent quality to so develop. There is no use in evading the question, but that seems to be the trouble with some men. they apparently fear the woman will get ahead of them.

day afternoon at the corner of North Eighth and B Sfs. Doland, who is deaf and dumb, was riding in a phaeton and was driving west on B street. The' ; car -was coming from the north. It struck the vehicle squarely, '.smashing it into pieces. Dolan was i thrown heavily to the street and ! knocked unconscious. His back was j severely -wrenched and his right leg j bruised. The horse, which was injured, ! became frightened and ran for a short i distance south on Eighth street, where it was stopped by a passerby. Dolan was helped into a rig and taken to his home.

ONLY TWO GROWERS APPEARED SATURDAY

The meeting of the Wayne County Fruit and Grain Growers association, called for Saturday afternoon at the county superintendent's office in the court house, was not held. Only two members of the association appeared. Joseph Helms, a farmer in Boston township, president of the asociation, issued the call for the meeting and appeared at the place for meeting at the appointed hour, as also did Dan Medearis, another grower. They waited in vain for other members of the association to put in appearance.

their sacred duty and live on with men whose evening homecoming is dreaded by a day's toil where business exhausts them. I believe careers are open to a very great number of women that heretofore were denied them, due solely to this so-called feminine movement. Matrimony has been the ideal for so many years that woman has been led to believe marriage was the apex of her existence. Anybody knows there are many families where happiness is not what it should be, where neither the wives nor husbands are happy, to say nothing of the children. Domesticity Tends to Dwarf. Now they find their walks of life where they will develop interest and comfort. Man wants a variety in business to keep from becoming stagnant; the same should apply to the wife, for certainly domesticity will have a tendency to dwarf as much

as a business office. That is why I i j believe woman is becoming more of i j
