' MAN REALTOR ID D HOT I,AKK, Apr. 16 (Special) There la a great dual bu1u and written about women being upon an eiiuallty with men In 1119 business World. To a large degree, however, this ia'ntoru thooretleal than actual tor women hare not. so far. taken their place on an eiiuiillty with men execpt in u few minor employments. There nro exception, however, to this rule. . Teu years ago, Mrs. It. K. 'llar rett waa left a widow with Just 14.00 and uo provioua Misiness experience. She was endowed with an Indomit able will power and vision. She was fortunate enough to get an option upon a piece of property In Astoria, (for this had been her home) with out an Initial payment. Timo was the essenro Of tho contract, nnd by walking two miles Into tho city each day to save carfare, and taking her lunch, sho managed to exist. Before tho option had, expired, alio made her first deal that noted her 1700. This gave, ber confidence, and she went at the handling of real estato In Astoria and Warrenlou, with a vim and determination. Things havo changed for Mrs. Barrett. Now, she has a beautiful homo In Seaside, llaa ten or fifteen salesmen constantly In' the East, bringing people to Wurrenlon to buy property. She entertains theni in her home and It Is known among her prospective buyers that she will pay the entrre cost fur any Investi gation should it disclose misrepre sentation of any kind on her part. Mrs. Barrett closes all her deals, and never loses a'customer, because Blin has tho goods- and is square with her people. Besides holding options III War renton, 'she has extensive personal holdings thore. and is enthusiastic about tho future of tho place. There Is a little scrrct about her enthiis- iaBin for Warrenton. Several years ago she learned about ,11m Illll, most j beloved and substantial of railroad I magnates, buying extensively at Warrenton. She made a trip to St. Paul for personal visit- with- him. After walling for two days, she was told that sho might have Just, five minutes with blin. It la to Mrs. Bar rett's credit. that .lainea J. Jllll, after meeting iier. called off all of his other appnlulineiits and spent the afternoon with her.- He told her all he knew about' Warrenton, and ad vised her as to his hclier In Its fu ture; consequently her enthusiasm. Mrs. Barrett la deeply Interested In all public enterprises that uffect the lower Columbia. She was con cerned In the visit ot Secretary Dan iels a few months ago, which re sulted Jn the government's deter mination to iiiako extenaive-linprovo- mcnts' at that point. ' Sho made a'slwcial Irje lute ! tuna and u sin;cessiil it rollli the fur men tutaalher anal fqullat tho wheat crop of several lslllloa bnsheta to bo hauled by watar grade to the mouth of tho Columbia In stead of taking the bumps 'over the mountains Into Seattle. Sho has recently been u patient nt Hot Luko Sanitorium, likes the Grande Hondo Valley and the insti tution ao well that she will return again next full. The Savior In Profane History. Among the historical references to Jesus Christ which nro undisputed la that inn lie by Tucltus, the ltoman his torian, who on speaking of the Chris tians sahl, "The originator of that name had been executed in tho relgu of Tiberius by order ot the adminis trator, Pontius I'llntc." This may be found In tho Annals of Terevnt. Ref erence to Christ Is alo mode In the "Antiquities of Joscphiis," a Jewish his torian, who was eoiitcmpornry with Christ, but this pnssnge la declared by tome to be a forgery. Why Ball "Bounces." A ball bounces because It possesses a quality known as elasticity. When a ball la thrown against the floor the hnll becomes flat where It strikes the floor; because of lta elasticity tbe ball Immediately returns to Its natural shape and In doing so forces Itself back Into the air and that's the "bounce."
