Reports received from the Great Northern station said no loss of life has been reported. A 75,000 acre blaze which previ- ously threatened Belton, from which the residents were removed, rushed northward to the mountain tops and along the east side of Lake McDonald and near the Lewis Ho- tel in the Glacier National Park. Flames covered the Epworth League camp ground and the Lake McDnald Camp. Two hundred and fifty men are now fighting the fire which started Friday.

Of the Reichstag’s 490 members, 32 are women, and 20 of these are so- cial-democrats. Even a greater proportion o women sit in the Prussian Diet. Of its 450 deputies, 42 are of the fair sex, and again 20 of these are so- cial-democrats. In the other states, Eve is less in evidence among the solons. In Bavaria, only 5 of the 130 members of the Diet are women. In Ba- den they number 7 out of 72; in Wurttemburg there are only three women parliamentarians in a House of 80, and in Saxony, 5 of 96 deputies are women. Not even the minor states, where old customs survive longest, are wholly without feminine influence in their local parliaments. The small diets of Mecklenburg-Schwer- iin, of Truringen, of Brunswick, and of Hesse each have three women ! members, but Anhalt has only {one. The Hamburg House of Bi gess has the largest percentage of women; 15 out of 150 members. The woman of forty as a political and industrial world power of the fu- ture, as she was an intellectual i power in the salons of the past, is the prediction made by some German writers. In answer to the query, “What is a number of authors chose the woman of from thirty to fifty years “The woman of forty of today.” wrote Martin Borrmann in the Berliner Tageblatt, “is leaving I mark on our times in every phase of life. She flirts less than her younger sister, and for that rea- son wields an extraordinary influ- ence. The tiny line of wisdom al the corner of a woman’s eye, is the heart of her charm, midway be- tween first bloom and old age.” |8 woman's most interesting age?”| H oring. |that she will interpret at the Me- tropolitan this coming season.
