The leadburner of the works was brought up look at the tank and the situation ex- ned to him. He jumped into the tank with his rubber-soled shoes, cautiously pried up the lead where it had split apart saw that the wood beneath was roughly saturated with explosive ofl. In order to repair the leak he would have to press the lead lining firmly against the dangerous wood, lay a patch of sheet lead over the spot and then rub the edges with an iron that had been heated until it was hot enough to melt the lead. The foreman stood on the top of a step- ladder and looked over at the leadburner. ‘The leadburner looked up at the foreman. t the acids used are made s, and the manufacture of pl by far the greater part preparation of the ni- e present form of fron mixing into use ge wooden tanks ised.

Isn’t $10 a day enough salary?” Yep; all right while it lasts. But it wouldn't last long if I started in on that. Why, talk about §10 a day! I'd want a dollar a minute to do that work.” “Will you do it for a dollar a minute?” The leadburner thought. He had said a dollar a minute. That sounded ke a dream. But the reality, There was the lead that would carry the heat, and back of it ‘the wood that was soaked until it was a first-class solid dynamite. “Well.” said the foreman, “you sald a “Not on my lls Why She Ceaugs the Stage The Songbird Has Some Theories of Her Owp About Marria¢e, and Proposes to Give Up Her Gheat- rical @areer With the Ripging of the Wedding Bglls.

Let an actress confess any such inténtion, and.instead of the usual “Heaven bless you,” it's “Hoaven help you!” BLACTK EVENINS her pet one is, that it doesnw’t go hand in hand with a profession. Miss D’ Arville defends her theory very ably and moreover she is going to live up to it.

Time was taken and the start made. You might think that being paid by the minute “he nursed his job."” Not a bit. The longer the iron was held against the lead the hotter it would get, why don't you go and the longer the lead was hot the more | time it would have to warm up the gly- | cerin-soaked wood. There was not a minute of time wasted, and forty minutes later the man came out $40 richer and thinking more of his lucky escape than of the money he had earned. Granted that actresses generally do make a mess of matrimony. Isn’t it because the actresses, as a rule, at- tempt to combine stage and home lifef It’s about as easy as mixing oil and water. But why single out actresses and brand them as incompetents from the matrimonial standpoint? I believe that any other woman who pursues a profession after her marriage makes a miserable failure of it. DMost pro- fessional doors open into the divorce court.

It's very try- ing—especially on the husband. You can’t balance a domestic equation with two wage earners. The rub of the workaday world rasps, and fric- tion in the home life is inevitable. A man can keep his equilibrium in the busy world far better than a woman. She has not the physical strength, and the wear and tear on her nerves is awful. It is rarely that a woman earning her own livin keeps her disposition free from rough edges.
