Among the last rights of women to be fought is the right to propose, is the

It is the inevitable consequence of the vote and of the war. The position of woman with regard to marriage has en- tirely changed, at the sooner it is e cognized the better." Up till now nice women have properly aut proposed, be- case it meant virtually: • Wit you kerup seret.

Now that a woman can be as independ ent as a ne she needi have no serimples on that septe.

In every other direction the positier, of men and wonen, with regard to marriage,

is equal. Et is quite ridicult that it should be in honourable thing in a man to, love woman who dies not return his afeétion, and get be a disgrace to a woman to luve unasked A proposal from the man clears the air, and it should be the same with one from the woman.

..

In the present condition of things a woman ollen wastes the best years of her life on a hope. It would be much better j if she could say in the beginning. I like you and if you like me as much as I like you, let us spend our live together." It would be quite simple for the man to reply, if he were of a different mind. 1 am sorry. Of course, 1 like your, but I do not feel like going into partnership."

There is a serious reason why it should be adopted. Some badly wounded men" are feeling much as if they had changed places with this women. They do not have when they Will you keep me i to Lity propose, but what to theta is almost 14 bad Will you kegy; yourself!"

It would be a great relief to many a crippled man in love iF proposals were taken out of men's bands.

In the present circumstances no nice girl could bring herself to propoor, how. ever willing she is to keep herself, how- ever much she loves the main.

There is no need to fear that the new right would give added license to the other kind of girl. She proposes now, although not in so many words.

AMERICAN REFORM

NAVAL FULL DRESS ABOLISHED.

Mr. Daniels, Secretary of the U.S. Navy, whose deal for innovations caused him

to abolish the historie Lerms "port" nad starboard in the United States Navy, has now evolved an order banish- ing cocked hats, epaulets, and full dress uniformos from the decks of American warships,

The result of the new ordinance will be to reduce naval officers wardrobes from 12 to four uniforms. Among others, the special full dress which is stated to have been originally introduced to do honour to visiting Royal personsges will disappear, so will evening full,dress and mess dress, leaving only undress, white, and blue service uniforms and evening dress.

Mr. Daniels states that his order is the result of his experience during the war,

CHALMERS

A Hot Spot Chalmers Holds Every Drop of Gàs to Account

It takes gas to move weight. And in a car like the Hot Spot Chalmers, which is 300 pounds above the "light-weight" class and 300 pounds under the "heavy-weight" class, gas has more than passing attention.

The trick is to move this weight at the minimum effort. Therefore, the Hot Spot and Ram's-horn play a great part in the Chalmers.

Hot Spot holds every drop of gas to account.

It" cracks up" into a "dry vapor powder" the raw gas just as the gas enters the Ram's-born and the latter fuel to the cylinders with disparches the "pulverized" lightning-like rapidity.

The result is that when, the spark plugs "touch it off every drop (finer by far than the naked eye can detect) turns itself into power de luxe..

There's little waste-well nigh none.

And remember

that this Hot Spot engine of the Chalmers is the most modern automobile engine of the day
