No particular reasons are ad- vanced in support of such a proposition except that England | ° and Germany have more women legislators than we, and} that we need “the women’s point of view” in our lawmaking. Right here is where the women’s party indicates its com- “plete lack of knowledge of what is meant by public service and intended by the enfranchisement clause. ~---No woman should be elected to any legislative, judicial or executive place merely because she is a woman. No man is elected because he is a man. It isn’t a matter of sex, but it is a matter of reputed or real capacity to serve the public re- gardless of skirt or pants. Nor is “the women’s point of view” important—it isn’t of the slightest consequence, be- cause it cannot exist. Legislation involves right against wrong, the need of good against evil, of benefit to the whole , country as against the reverse. There can be no distinctive or exclusive point of view among women as women in such case any more than among men, and there never will be. Always, in matters of official life—in politics—women must work and think and vote just as men do, and be divided by their varying mental attitudes just as men are. It is im- possible for them, as it is for men, to be always in agree- ment on all subjects and they cannot make the public service a matter of one gender alone. The sex alignment or attitude gets its advocates and sponsers nowhere at all. Neither is it true that legislative bodies are materially or even slightly improved by the mere presence of women therein, for all women are not necessarily good and com- petent. Something far more potent than that is needed, as. for instance, intelligence, character and the capacity for great and wise service. Only by and through such attrib- utes is officialdom made better. Trick of nature or mode ot dress have nothing to do with it. There is a big place in politics and the civil service for women, but they will never attain it so long as they insist on capitalizing their sex. TAXI A taxicab rate war in New York dropped charges to 10 cents a half mile. Investigating renorters couldn’t find many drivers who'd haul them for that. But it shows what is pos- sible in the way of low rates when there’s plenty of com- petition. Can you own and drive a car for 20 cents a mile—figur- ing depreciation, upkeep and interest on investment? The day ceems approaching when it’ll be as cheap to use taxis in cities as to own your own car. For one thing, the taxi works almost uninterruptedly. A privately owned auto is eating up interest and depreciation charges while it’s idle in the garage. PUZZLER If Willie has a dozen bananas and eats 12, how can he give six of them to Rollo? Solve this simple little problem and you will be in great demand by Reparations Conferences in Europe. Germany in June bought over 188 million dollars worth of goods from other countries—and sold only 119 millions. This put her in the hole 69 millions for the month — and June was a typical modern month for Heinie. Reparations have to be paid largely out of surpluses in foreign trade; can’t be paid out of deficits. Germany, however, probably juggles the figures. Those quoted are from Berlin. SPEED “Tt seems but yesterday” when we were marveling at the ultra-rapid camera of the movie studio, making 300 ex- posures a second. A Frenchman perfects a camera making 25,000 pictures a second. It discloses strange things. One, for instance, is that a soap bubble, hit by a paper wad, admits the wad, closes the hole it made, and does not burst until the projec- tile emerges on the far side. Such scientific toys, useless at first, usually become a practical part of daily life eventually. a WHO The new edition of “Who’s Who In America” contains biographies of 25,357 prominent people Twenty-three out of every 100 of these, by the way, never attended college. A fourth of the total were born on farms, a fourth in small towns, a fourth in small cities, a fourth in big cities. An acorn grows into an oak, not an evergreen—whether it’s planted in the backwoods or in a metropolitan park. Environment is not all. We bring into this world with i us fully three-fourths of what we become at the end of the Toad. Many. never develop their inborn possibilities. é : MYSTERIOUS The most fascinating things in modern life are taking - place in the scientific laboratory — which used to be a dull -place for most people. 2g For instance, Professor Huxley takes a normal egg that ‘would hatch and produce only one newt (salamander.) He jes a string around the center. The egg gradually sepa- fates into two, from each of which hatches a healthy, nor- salamander. Again, he grafts two eggs together — = ‘only one salamander hatches. . «Life is more mysterious, the closer we get to its secret. Us g “Made in America” is becoming more familiar in Ger- many. In the 12 months before July 1 sales between United States and Germany amounted to over 526 million dollars, compared with 46 millions in the preceding fiscal year.

(Duluth Herald) A news item that is very dan- {| gerous to the peace of mind andj security of a good many people is | going the rounds, { It is the story of a New York speculator who put twenty-five | hunered dollars into an oil stock | spcculation, and who stands to win | a million and a quarter if he can} get by question that has been | raised as to the legality of his transaction. This sort of news item is dan- | yerous because it always addles | the of thousands of people | and starts them furiously shovel- ing their savings down some speculative rat-hole, trying vainly | to repeat the feat on their own be- halt. And as not one in a million suc- cerds, for every such phenomenal winner there is;a vast army of losers. { But hope springs eternal in the human breast, and thosé who re- act to envy and greed instead of to reason and common sense al- wa when they hear or read ha story, say “If he could, why 1 Why” isn’t so important as the fact, which is that it is a million to one that they can’t do it. Then there is another side to such stories, though few of those who are tempted by them will be interested in that. That side in- volves the question what such a sudden avalanche of unearned wealth is going to do to the man who gets it The man who can win a million on a shoestring and not have his head turned and his usefulness wrecked and his Hfe ruined by the experience is about as great an exception to the rule as the winner is to the rule that most peovle who speculate lose. That very notorious fact OUGHT to be as influential in inducing people to steer clear of specula- tions as the fact that few who speculate win and that few who win keep their winnings long. For “easy come, easy go,” seems to be about as invariable a law as the law of supply and demand. But it is only the burnt child| that dreads the fire. Probably un- burnt fingers will continue to risk the tempting blazes until time ceases, ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS RY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON WEENY SAVES THE CIRCUS AH the wood folk and _ meadow folk and barnyard folk sat“down on the grass to ee the circus that Weeny, the elephant, and Nancy and Nick, the Twins, and Toby, the dog, and Prince, the pony, were having. Thev wanted to get enough money to finish their vacations. And, dear knows, they should have been happy, for everybody in the county nearly was there. And it did look as though they not only could finish their vacations, but ‘take another one even when that one was over-—with such a crowd ’n’ all. Weeny started the acts. First he came in and made a bow, and then he started to waltz. And he waltzed and waltzed and waltyed until he was dizzy. After that he stood on his hind legs and walked around the circus ring holding his trunk in a loop over his head. ~ Everybody clapped at that, then Weeny made another bow. Next Nancy came out and Weeny lifted her onto his back. The next thing she did was to climb up on his head and slide down his trunk like a toboggan slide. Then Weeny lay down and when he stood up, no Nancy was to be seen. But on looking closer, there she and was, right under Weeny’s body, com- | pletely hidden from view. Next Prince the pony came trot- ting in, And his act was to run zig-zag in and out of Weeny’s four legs, this way and that, while the elephant stood still. | After that Toby came out and jumped on Prince’s back. And he rode around and around on the pony’s back without saddle or bridle, Next Toby and Prince ran a race. First Prince was ahead, then Toby was ahead, and then they were a tie. But finally Prince won, and every- body clapped. After that Nick came in and did some somersaults. Then he did a| lot of cartwheels, and handsprings, | It was really quite exciting. Everybody was so interested in the circus acts that they never thought of another thing. “My goodness! It’s certainly worth five cents,” said Daddy Cracknuts. “It’s even worth six cents. Don’t you think so, ma?” “I should say so,” said Mrs. Crack- nuts. “I wouldn’t begrudge seven It isn’t every day that one sees an elephant. It is one of the best circuses I ever—” But she didn’t finish, All at once a great creature made a jump over the bushes where the circus was and stood right before them gnashing his teeth and grinning, his long red tongue licking his nose hungrily. “Ah, ha!” said Mr. Fox, for that’s who it was. “So foxes are not al- lowed in! Well, I'm in, apd I'm hun- pry, and I'm going to have a good dinner! I don’t know whether to have squirrel pie, or rabbit soup, or roasted woodchuck, or—” But he ncver finished, for at that minute Weeny’s long trunk ‘reached over a bush and grabbed him, And then he threw him ‘so far away that I think Reddy Fox must be going yet.

MY SMOKE ‘Tangle. LETTER FROM BEATRICE GRIM- | SHAW SUMMERS TO LESLIE PRESCOTT Dearest Leslie: It almost seems wicked and unrighteous for me to be so_ happy. Leslie, my husband, Dick, is the sweetest, dearest person in all the world. I have just read over the two sen- tences I have written above, and I think I blushed. Anyway, ‘I've got- ten a nice warm feeling as though the blood had welled up from my heart to my brain a little faster than it has ever done in my heart before. This doesn’t sound like the old sensible Bee, does it? Well, I’m not the old sensible Bee. I’m just a blissfully happy woman who has married the man she loves devoted- ly and found in him all the thought- fulness and love she had expected. Today I’m thinking of all - the other blissful brides, and hoping they are all as happy as I am. Yet, like all lovers, Dick and I have told each other many times since our marriage that no one in all the o world could ever have been as happy quitoes or bedbugs have perished at! as we are. I was awfully sorry you could not It seems a little ungrateful to be writing this paean of joy to you when you are at your father’s bedside fighting against the grim spectre. But oh, Leslie, I want- ed to tell you all my happiness, for I remember when you were married and you wrote me how happy you were, I could hardly imagine that what you said could be true. We arrived in Chicago yesterday evening, and although I have been here many times, even the smoky old buildings and the more or less Idirty streets seem glorified to me. think kisses | have germs usually look the part. This morning Dick informed me he was going to be very busy with some moving picture magnates all day, and that Miss Perrier and I would have to amuse ourselves. I called up her room and asked her what she wanted to do. She answered in a voice that was full of either sadness or sleep, I could not decide which, that she would like to go shopping. When she said that I concluded it was sleep. We started in about an hour. I expect that you, my dear, being a girl who has always known wealth and luxury, know what it is to go into a gorgeous shop where every- thing is found that a woman can possibly want to wear, and know that you can buy anything you want. I have never known this in reality. I have had dreams of such a wonderful experience, but I never expected to be able to do it myself or be with anyone on a shopping ex- pedition who could buy upon impulse and be sure of not regretting it. Paula Perrier shopped today with an enjoyable abandon that was as- tonishing. Never in my wildest dreams did I think of a woman buy- ing stockings at $30 a pair. Never did I think of paying $50 for rhine- stone shoe buckles to go on a $25 pair of pumps. Hats, coats, sport suits, lingerie, evening clothes—Miss Perrier bought until I felt called upon to ask her if she had purchased nothing in New York, “Lots of things,” she answered with a laugh. “1 expect 1 have a dozen trunks in the baggage car.” Then she grew serious for a mo- ment. “You, of course, know,” she con- fessed, “that I have only had money enough to be extravagant for a short time, and I go on a mad orgy when I get among such _ beautiful clothes as they nave here.” (Copyright, 1924, NEA Seavice, Inc.)

Then you have a bone to pick with Professor J. C. Flugel, senior \Jecturer in philosophy and psychology in University College, ‘London. Flugel got the notion that pleasure always outbalances {ant life for a month. They jotted down, in their note books, ‘every feeling they experienced. Averaging the scores, Flugel found that, out of every 100 feelings or emotions experienced by his investigators, 68 were pleasant and only 32 unpleasant. The gloomiest man of the crowd was amazed to learn, | when he finally checked up, that he had been happy 46 per cent of the time, unhappy 36 per cent, and “on the fence” the rest of his month. ; : Examining the note book records, Professor Flugel found that there are 22 main causes of pleasure and 24 causes for i displeasure. Many are not as important as we imagine at the time. ! Food produces a pleasurable feeling amounting to less + | than 6 per cent of a person’s total emotions, “tender emotion” less than 1 per cent, “companionship and society” only a qui&rter of 1 per cent of the total. Fatigue, it was learned, is responsible for less than 4 per cent of all emotions, sorrow 1 per cent, embarrassment a half of 1 per cent. One trouble with compiling these statistics of emotions is that a thing may cause pleasure on one- occasion and dis- pleasure on another. For example: The fragrant odors of a well-cooked-dinner are highly pleasing to a hungry man. But the reaction is apt to be the opposite if the same man has just gorged himself on the same food. Nothing is quite as enticing as the thing we can’t have. In fact, according to another authority, Professor J. W. Bridges, it is only when instinct is thwarted that emotion develops. But the “figgers” seem to show that there’s more pleas- ure than pain in the world, even when life is not running smoothly. A good thing to remember when we’re blue. And, |; too, we couldn’t experience pleasant emotions to serve as jeontrast. Joy and pain—physical, mental or emotional—are ‘mat- ters of contrast. FABLES ON HEALTH WATCH CHILD’S TEETH the “It's about time had their teeth looked at” comment- ed Mrs. Jones after oue of the boys came running in with a toothache. “Getting them to the dentist is like borrowing ten dollars the day before pay day,” grunte] Mr. Jones. youngsters| Now there are a number of things that parents do not know about teeth and a check on these would help materially in watching their 5 children, and these will be present- ed in forthcoming fables, In this particular fable the moral should be to get the children to the dentist before toothache begins; to teach them to cleanse their teeth and keep the mouth washed out and clean. “T don’t see you declaring any holidays to go to the dentist your- self,” retorted Mrs, Jones. So to the dentist the youngsters were taken on the following day— and just in time. of 29.—In one which open at 10:30 o’clock at night and thetic emotions, All evening the girls drink “downs” at $1 a copy. “Downs” consists of a small glass of ginger ale masquerading as liquor.
