OFFICE CAT C e K sf MJrr THE AVERAGE WOMAN The life of the average woman is shown by a series of tables arranged by a clever lady who has been giving the sub ject intensive study. Tersely put, these are the results she finds: Babyhood to 15 Childhood. Fifteen to 18 Carefree time; fun, frivolity and beaux; 11 in every 100 marry between these ages. . Eighteen to 24 Beginning to work, either for self-support, r': money or a career; 30 of every 100 are wage earners and ii in every hundred marry between these ages. Twenty-four to 35 Lie in earnest, with 19 in every 100 j work and 79 married. Thirty-five to 45 Anly 15 of the 100, working away from home, while 83 are keeping house, bearing children and wis ing them.' ) . . Forty-five to 55 Fourteen of the 100 are still at work, th rest in the home or independent. ' - -,- Fifty-five to 65 Thirteen at work,- earning very small wages; 21 are widowed. . Sixty-five and later Forty-two out of every 100 are dead ; 60 are widows and 14, including some of the widows, are work ing for negligible wages. From her tables she readily deduces the lesson that it be hooves the average woman to plan things in the springtime of her life so that there will be fuel to keep the home fires burn ing during the winter. She advises that girls should lay aside a definite part of their earnings and invest them in good se curities. As far us we can see there is nothing to bar young men from heeding the same advice.

'Mr, Moody la do cldedly an optimist, but the reasons he submits ror Ills deductions are ; ihlglily plausible. In a current raag atlne article he says: "There are many reasons for be llovlni) that the commercial and business world Is now entering a ndw era; Unit thp long1 upward trend In commodity prices, which let ,lu boforo the closo of the last century, has now definitely come to air end: and that from now oil' we ihall wltnons n broad ' downWrird Ireiuli lit "nrlcoa ibd liitbrost .rutus.

It seems tqaeib.le .that, history la- - abowt-'to be repeated and that tho present period Is not only the culmination of a generation of Inflation and ris ing costs, but the actual turning point In tho other dlrci.i.tuii. And It. further aeema probnhlc that the period we are now entering will,' in lis broad outlines, be ono of real prosperity and not depres sion. Pnradoxlal aa It may sound, It la a fact that renl prosperity can xlat in a period of declining costs and prices; that a community pros peri more when coats are low than when coats are high.

The special rcjiitivity theory epitomised in the transforma tion equations of Lorens satisfies this condition for unacrelcrated systems, namely, for systems in motion with constant speed in a straight line." Atd much mors to the same clarify ing effect. Ilo-huml The more we read ahouL this matter, somehow, the leas we know. Still, the progressive ignor ance thus developed by studying the Einston theory may really be tho very heart of that theory. "All that we know Is, nothing can beioiown,' wrote Byron, aummlng up the conclusions of a famous Greek philosopher. If Trot. Einstein can do no. more than drive into a too cock-sure age a feeling that possibly, After all, it doesn't know and can't know everything, he will havi served s useful purpose. Meditating along this line, we full easily into a relativity theory of our own. All knowledge, we reflect, is relative. (We can't be sure that any truth is true always, everywhere, fv.r everybody.
