NOW TIIE FOREWOMAN
BEFOKK the war the forewoman
was unknown; now she Is becom
ing Increasingly common In the great
Industries, especially those thut em
ploy large numbers of girls. In some
of these plants, like that of the Artifi
cial Limb company, women uro admit
ted to the foreman training classes on
on equnl footing with the men.
There ure two types of forewomen,
called the Instructional and theproduc
tlouul. Women who are working In
the plant ure those who usually get
these appointments, and It Is an In
citement to women to go to work In
these largo Industrial establishments
thut was lacking before.
One of the great questions for wom
en totluy Is thut of equal opportunity.
It runs hnnd in hand with the one
concerning equal pay. The fact that
hardly any big factory or mill employ
Inu women Is now without Ux forewom

MY MAN AN' ME.
MY MAN an' me fcr forty years
Have hiked It up the hill,
An' aide by side, an' bound an' tied.
As was our youthful will.
He come upon me like a dream
Of all I hoped to be
An' so we stood, fer 111 er good
Made one, my man an' me.
It was a rosy way we went
When life was In the dawn;
I heard the bird, I heard Jie words
A young wife feeds upon.
Ill ana was 'round about my walft.
He led me tenderly
Twas long ago we traveled so
The road, my man an' me.
Though still we travel side by side.
We travel now apnrt
For older wives live lonely lives.
An' hungry Is the heart.
Twas long ago I felt the kiss
In youth he gave so free
Stilt side by Bide, but years divide
Us two, my man an' me.
Yet once he held my hand in his;
We knelt beside a cross,
Together knelt, together felt
An shared a common loss.
An' there was four Instead of two
(Er so It seemed to be)
Yes. there was four the babe I bore,
My God, my man an me.
The river yon Is covered now
With Wlntera Ice on' snow;
Upon It breast no lilies rest
Where lilies ned to blow.
But underneath the Wlnter'a ie
Tho waters flow as free
As In the Spring we heard 'em sing
Their Bong, my man an me.
So age may Bit upon his lips
An' cool the speech of youth;
An' yet I know he promised so
To love, an' spoke the truth.
The Winter days of life may chill
The ways of such as we;
But 'neath the cold the love of old
Still warm my man an' me.

Every woman should work toward In-
I crenslng these opportunities for her
sex.
Many Industries are employing more
und more women In their regular
work, especially factories where deli
cate work has to be done, such as the
assembling of adding machines, elec
tric nppllunces and the like. And wom
en are gradually ousting men from the
watch-making industry, so much bet
ter is their ability to handle the minute
parts used. The fact Is that the girl
of nineteen or twenty lias become the
typical watchmaker of the country.
Where the women have n chance to
prove themselves they are making
good. They will get more chances and
It seems likely that they will continue
to make good. There Is a real future
for the ambitious woman In the Indus
tries of tho country today.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MASCOT."
ONE of the most general of
superstitions the world
over Is that a child born with
a "caul" or membrane over the
bead Is not only a soothsayer
but an extremely fortunate per
son. In Scotland, as well as In
France, the caul Itself Is regard
ed as bringing good fortune to
anyone who possesses It, and
high prices have been paid for
these unusual appendages.
The French word for a child
born In this manner Is
"masque," meaning "masked," a
word which Is analogous to
the Latin "masca," for aorcerer
which possibly explains the
connection between the caul and
power attributed to those born
with It. It was from the French
masque, with a slight change
of final syllable, that the Eng
lish "mascot" meaning a lucky
piece was derived. After be
ing used for years by gamblers
and others of a superstitious
nature, the word was finally
Introduced Into literature by
Audran, In his opera "La Mas
cotte," In which the term des
ignates the messengers of the
power of God, sent to counter
act the Influence of the power
of evil.

GUINEA FOWL IN
GREATER DEMAND
Of Big Value in Various Sections
as Substitute for Many ,
Game Birds.
MAKES GOOD AS FOLICEMAH
Hotels and Restaurants In Large
Cities Eager to Secure Young
Birds Which Are Tender and
' of Fine Flavor.
The great majority of guinea fowl
are raised in small flocks of from 10
to 25 upon farms In the Middle West
and In the South, but a few of the
large poultry raisers, particularly
those who are within easy reach of tho
large Eastern markets, make A prac
tice of raising a hundred or so guineas
each year. Many farmers keep a pair
or a trio of guineas more as a novelty
than for profit, and from these a small
flock Is raised.
Warns of Marauders.
The guinea fowl doubtless would be
more popular on farms were it not for
Its harsh and, at times, seemingly never-ending
cry, say poultry specialists
of the United States Department of
Peculiar Cry of Guinea Givea Warn
ing of Marauding in Poultry Yard.
Agriculture. However, some people
look on this cry as an argument In the
guinea's favor, as it gives warning of
marauders 1b the poultry yard. Simi
larly, their pugnacious disposition
while sometimes causing disturbances
among the other poultry also makes
them show fight against hawks and
other commowenemles, so that guineas
sometimes are kept as guards over the
poultry yard. Often a few guineas are
raised with a flock of turkeys and al
lowed to roost In the same tree, where
they can give warning If any theft Is
attempted during the night
Used as Substitute.
The value of the guinea fowl as a
substitute for game birds such as
grouse, partridge, quail and pheasant
Is becoming more and more recognized
by those who are fond of this class of
meat and the demand for these fowls
is Increasing steadily. Many hotels
and restaurants in the large cities are
eager to secure prime young guineas,
and often they are served at banquets
and club dinners as a special delicacy.
When well cooked, guineas are attrac
tive In appearance, although darker
than common fowls, and the flesh of
young birds Is tender and of especial
ly fine flavor, resembling that of wild
game. Like all other fowl, old guineas
are very likely to be tough and rather
dry.
Avoid Diseased Animals.
Extreme precaution should be taken
to prevent healthy animals from com
ing In contact with diseased or ex
posed animals. t
Save Lots of Elbow Grease.
On most farms there are places In
the fences that are climbed regularly.
Usually one post, a couple of hinges,
and a few boards nailed together, will
save lots of elbow grease and knee
action.
Solve Labor Problem.
The farmer who treats his hired
help with fair consideration this year
and acquires a good reputation among
them will not have labor difficulties
next year.
Keep Buildings Sanitary.
AH covered buildings In "which ani
mals are boused require good ventila
tion and drnlnnge. Concrete floors im
prove considerably the sanitary condi
tions. Exercise Is Essential.
Animals, like people, require a cer
tain amount of exercise and provisions
should be made to supply them with
this physical requirement.
Clean Up and Drain,
Barnyards and pens. should be well
druliied and kept clean
