The steamer must be provisioned in adVance for the 28,000 mile voyage, passIng through 8 variety of climates, when the nearest corner grocery store or meat market is left many thousand miles behind. Then there is the meat supply, which must be anticipated with the greatest care.

It has been carefully estimated by the steward. that some 168,300 pounds of fresh meat alone will be required. All this must, of course, be kept in the refrigerating plant at a fixed temperature.

INDISPENSABLE WORD SOME SAY, IN HOUR OF STRESS "Too Valuable to Be Wasted," One Thinks, "When the Occasion Doesn't Warrant It." NEW YORK, Sept. can women say damn? Miss Emma Hall of Kansas City asserts that the expletive is needed by women as a sort of safety valve, and she doesn't see why should the atmosphere -and local color be ruined by "Oh, dear," and "Oh Mrs. Oxnard Reymer, well known in New York City and Newport, says a woman may say "damn" if she is among friends- that she can not make use of it among vulgarians. Miss Katherine Blake.

daugnter Mrs. Lily Devereux Blake, declares that whenever a woman breaks out in an expletive it denotes a weakening of her mental power. assert that "darn" is quite as expressive, a and the absence explosive of as both "damn." "Oh, dear," "Oh, sugar," and "Confound it" are reliable substitutes. "I am afraid you won't print what I think of the carrying power of said Mrs. Reymer.

"I know French better than I do English, but you have nothing in English SO charged with expressing the mental condition as 'damn' but I realize it isn't wise to voice it unless we are surrounded by one's own kind--never with vulgarians who do under- stand." NO FRENCH EQUIVALENT. Mrs. Reymer is a gentlewoman by birth and breeding. She realizes there is no. equivalent in French for "damn" and she asserts that mental exasperation in America can not find a better outlet than in this expletive.

"One may declaim a 'darn' or pronounce 'silly ass' but she has left within her a lot of feeling she has not expressed," said Mrs. Reymer. Then she added: "Did you ever ride in the subway? Doesn't that mean damn? Doesn't it spell damn? Orie wants to go to the races, but racing is prohibited by your great State. Isn't that damn? One reads of the criticism of divorced persons marrying. Isn't that damn? Did you ever go through the customs of the New York port? you say at the beginning and you say when it is over.

When you are kept awake by the night collection of garbage have you anything but damn in your mind? Never!" And Mrs. Reymer is not a. bit of a suffragist. She simply a most attractive younk woman, a widow, who has the intuition time in which to observe what is going on about her. Then she goes on: "Who says American women do not say damn? Certainly such persons do not listen and they have scant powers of observation.

have heard chem breathe it when 'no smoking' rules were supposed to be observed in restaurants when people gossiped about others' private affairs, when, 29 you say here, 'others butted in' to your lives. "Damn is more vital than darn. It has more of a personal note. You can't say 'darn' in a general way, but when you say 'damn' you are giving out something you can not take back, something you would not if you could. You are giving picture of your mental attitude- firm, decisive and bejond recall.

CALLS EXPLETIVES UNNECESSARY. But Miss Blake has another attitude. She is a teacher in the public schools, loved and hailed as an example. "A woman can meet everything amiably," said Miss Blake. "The so-called expletives needed to express one's emotion are merely adjectives.

'Darn' is a little more polite than damn, but, it, too, is most unnecessary. I was in Toronto. a few days ago when an elevator dropped me suddenly to the basement. I didn't say I was I do not believe in any violence scared to death, and I said 'My an goodexpression. I think that women's prerogatives are sweetness and gentleness and that they need never fail when the fatal hour for expression "Are you asking me seriously about damn?" queried Miss Rosalie of the Colony Club.

"The answer depends entirely the attitude of the woman at the moment." Miss Jonas is a rhymed with damn?" asked. "Have you ever 'found a word that "Nothing that looked well in printperhaps that is my prejudice against she added. "Have I heard it used? Naturally! I live in a studio and damn of life, isn't it?" "But not Colony Club life?" SHOULDN'T BE WASTED. "You wouldn't have me betray crets, would vou? I can only say, 'damn' must be well applied or it fails utterly. It can not wasted." "Do women say damn?" questioned Mrs.

A. M. Palmer, widow of A. M. Palmer, the theatrical manager.

"Under provocation, shouldn't they? Women are human, and 'damn' or 'dear' or 'sugar' or 'confound it' do not mean much to a who has a torrent of feeling that is stifling her." "They think damn oftener than they have the courage to pronounce it," said Dr. Ida C. Nahm. "When a woman says it with her whole soul she has parted from a million accumulated worries. She can't work off her troubles as a man can, because she hasn't his clubs with their opportunities for relaxation.

But she can pull herself together, say 'damn' and a watch all the evil in her system ooze out of it." It was Mary Garden recently who, denying a report that she was to be married, added: "I haven't time to waste on such damned rumors." It was a woman who lives in Fifth avenue who, when told she had to cut off her lawn to conform to the law, announced "the 'damn' laws bored her -the city could g0 ahead send her the bills as soon as 'damn' and, chose." "No woman has a right to say damn," said the fascinating Mrs. William L. Coll of Bronxville, "unless she has tried to run her car over the city streets." Residence Destroyed. LOCKHART, Sept.

The Prize Winning Poem. The poem reproduced this morning the prize of $100 offered by the National Woman's Suffrage Society for the best poem suitable to be set to music in accordance with the suggestion of the Italian composer who witnessed their parade and deplored the lack of music. The winner of the prize in competition with just 100 other entries passed away before the award was known, and her note inclosed with her nom de plume, as required, is particularly pathetic. She said: "I would be contented to pass on beyond if I could carry with me the knowledge that I had written an acceptable anthem for the great cause which has always been so dear to me. All my life I have wanted to write an anthem for suffrage, and I believe that the poem which I now send has been written on the heights." Though her wish was to be gratified, she never knew it.
