McTAVISH & SON g FLESHERTON, - - ONTARIO \M Girls in Great Britain Are Now Studying Charm As Husbands Are Scarce «'<»<><-»<S">«x««8->««:~x~X":~:~:":-:~x-M FnEED from war work and war worries and no longer having to fight for the vote, a con- siderable proportion of the feminine population of Great britaln is beginning to analyze the effects ot the new independence which has come to them. In fact, the new craze among London society women is self- Btudy. By interesting themselves in analytical paychology these >^omen believo they can stethoscope thel) own natures and discover how many personalities are lodged withif iheniKelves. After finding the best one, they thereafter submerge ilie other pcrsQualilies, of which many women are said to have three dis- tinct varieties. But there is a vastly larKi_-r numb r of women more inter- ested in ai";uing a woman's right to choose her own mate. This last is the luirning cpifstion because more than a millioa girls are doomed to bo hus- bandlr.js here because of the short- age of men. Ill one paper there is now pro- ceeding an animated argument about the attractions of tall women and short ones. The short ones say that the tall women are not so affec- tionate. Thf tall ones reply that their seeming austerity is only a part of their general beauty. Dr. Alfred Schofleld has found a new species of women which he calls "latchkey girls," or economically in- dependent women who will want to select their own mates. Mrs. Celloc Lowndes, the author, says that as a Frenchwoman she believes "arranged marriages" are immensely successful and that Cupid ought to be retired in favor of fath- ers and mothers. Although the seven women ap- pointed magistrates by the Lord High Chancellor at the end of Decem- ber were the first of their sex to be thus designated in Great Britain, the first won»an to actually sit as a judge in a police court was Mrs. Ada Jane Summers. Klected in 1912 as the first woman member ot the Stiilybridgo Coun- cil, she was made Mayor of that Cheshire town last November and thus became Chief Magistrate of the police court there. As such she took her seat recently and was wel- comed by a full bench of magistrates. "I did not find it an ordeal," she told an interviewer. "I am not nerv- ous â€" though I am not a speaker; the cases were trivial. 1 was glad they were so simple the first moiii- iug, and also," with a smile, "tliat I was able to let them off." Asked if she had any decided views as to whether sentences should be severe or not, Mrs. Sum- mers replied: "No. It depouds on the care and the culprit, doesn't it? I tliiuk an old offender should be piinislied severely, but I do not agree Willi punishing children. I think Ihe parents are to blame more ufttii than the children. I shall be inter- ested in those which concern women. A woman understands about a wo- man better than a man." The Locotriiclor. Two Dangers. The friend of an Kntlish clorgy,- man. who waa spending a few days in Ihe hitler's parish, says llio C.uar- dian, went up to a neighbmiii!; coun- try one day and found an old woman lust turning i.way from Ihe door. "Locked and boiled," she said. She thi^n told him that she lived in a iieiShboring village and that she came Ji>very now and then to the jhiireh in which she had been ihris- teiied ami contirimMl and married, but it was always Ihe same; .she could lever i;et in. "But what iimhiui can the vlear have for keeping the church shut up?" asked the friend. "I don't know, sir. I'm sure," slie said. 1 diould think either be must be afraid it some one getting In and praying, 5r elso he's afrind of Ood's getting JUt and seeing what a stiito his par- sh Ib in." rannnm Cannl. The least depth of Iho Panama .;anal is forty-one feel. The len«lh a about fifty miles, from (!i.e;i water u the Carribean Sea to dti i> wiUer n the Faciac. An interesting problem, liishly importaiu to the future ot the coun- try, ia being worked out in South Africa with the help of a new kind of railway. The problem came iii) with the after-the-war development of tlii^ coiinlry, the effort put forlli by the Union Oovernnient to per- suade the taiiners to increase their crops, the willingness of the f.xiiiiers to make the effort, and the imprac- ticability of transporting the produce. The need was for more railways, but the way seemed blocked by the cost of constriuiion, if the railways were to be operated by the regular typo of loiomolive. The roads are bad, ami the allernatioii of rainy s; a.son.s with dry and windy Rea.«ion.s luakts it out of tlie Question to keep lliem in good condition. And so South Africa has hit upon, and is experimenting with, a new form of railway by which the cars run on tracks and are drawn. not by the familiar locoiuolive but by a locoliactor, whoso guiding por- tion runs on rails like the ii^l of the train while its ilrivin!.-. wheels, shod Willi solid rubber lires, travel on either side of the track. The con- struction of such a railway costs about $4,00t) a mile, a,i compared with the $12,000 to 5!20,00O a mile cost for a standard railway in South Afiica, and Ihe syaleiu, it Is said, adapts iisolf particularly well to the needs of a farming population. If the initial lines do as well as has been expocled, Soulh Africa will probably become a land of the loco- tractor.
