The Egyptlun daughter of that time inherited from her parents an equal share with ^er brothers; as a wife she was the real and very active mistress of the house. In fact, many records Indicate that the husband was little more than her guest, a writer in the Kansas City Times comments. She went and came as she liked, talked with whom she pleased without anyone daring to question her actions, went among men with an uncovered face and adorned her face and form with alt the liberty displayed by her kind today.. Her gown was a smart short frock cut decollete, her lips were tinted and her cheeks were powdered, her eyes were coquettishly emphasized and to her hair dresser she went once every ten or twelve days. If she was the wife In a family in average circumstances she rose at daybreak, prepared breakfast, sent the men off to the workshop or their business, sent those children more than eight years old to school and the younger ones to drive the geese or cattle to pasture and then occupied herself with household duties for the rest of the day.

The country is .as old as most of-its neighbors, and Rome thought It important enough to fortify it, centuries ago. From its ducal family have come queens of France and emperors of Germany. The city of Luxemburg is a rocky gem in a forest setting, and, according to Edwin Robert Petre, travel writer, from here one can look to Treves and Thionvllle, and not only into Germany but to Longwy and the north of France, Arlon, Brussels and the coasts of Belgium.

A party of six pickpockets and thieves, said to hail from Chicago, were captured at Woodstock on Friday last, and lodged in jail.

One of them showed fight, and drew a revolver on the officer, but was quickly disarmed and brought to terms.

North Western Railway announces the opening on October 1,' 1927, of its new sixteen million dollar freight terminal, transfer house, and classification yards, located at Proviso, 111., on its main line, thirteen miles west of Chicago. With the tremendous growth of Chicago, and its importance as a transportation center and railroad terminus, there came the necessity of greater transfer and interchange facilities, not only for present needs, but to take care of future growth, and in full realization of the situation this vast project was concaved by the company. The imensity of the improvement can be perhaps better visualized by the following facts when it is stated the total area is 1,250 acres; the track capacity, 26,000 cars and the through cars that can be handled per day is 15,000. The Proviso transfer house for less than carload freight has an area under one roof of twenty-one acres. Its length is 1,420 feet; width, 720 feet and it provides for daily capacity of 700 cars of merchandise. There are two fully equipped repair yards; a modern icing plant for perishable freight; modem buildings and equipment of all kinds to facilitate and expedite operations. A passenger station has also been built adjacent tQ the office building at Proviso for the convenience of patrons. The Proviso yard is particularly well situated to serve the west, north, northwest, southwest, s departing and arriving trains "over the Chica go & North Western railway move directly to destinations without necessity of passing through the congested areas of Chicago. In addition, direct connections are made at Proviso with the following Belt lines: Baltimore &. Chicago Terminal R. R., Belt Railway company of Chicago and the Indiana Harbor Belt R. R. These belt lines deliver and receive freight, at Proviso yard under their own power, insuring continuous movement, and expeditious handling of all traffic. "We believe that in the new Proviso yards the Chicago and North Western Railway has provided the largest and one of the most complete switching transfer plants in the world," Is Some Speeder Slrius, oar brightest star, Is calldl • fixed star, but It appears to move •boot an Inch In a century, which mean* considering Its distance from the earth, that it Is moving at the rate of 1,000,000 miles a day.

"The entire improvement involving an expenditure of $16,000,000 is made with the object of facilitating the movement of freight to and from Chicago and points on our system. Through it we will be enabled to save nearly a day in shipments from Chicago to all points north and northwest and eliminate the movement of several hundred cars a day-that now come in and out of Chicago to the individual freight houses. We look upon it as one of the most important steps in the history of this company. Efficient and rapid operation of trains is only possible when terminal facilities are adequate. Trains once on main line tracks in the open country may be quickly moved. Congestion in terminals is the chief cause of slow movement of freight." This great transfer yard is another indication of the progressive spirit and policy of the Chicago & North Western Ry. 1 ^ • How time has flown, and from your salary or income * tidy sum might easily have bden saved that was .

Warrior's Paradise Tb* word "Valhalla" means "hall of the slain." In old Norse mythology, It was the abode of Odin In Asgard.

It was situated In the region of Joy. It contained many halls hung with spears and shields, and It was roofed with gold and supplied with food served by the Valkyries, a company of beautitui maidens.
