Mark Wilcox, the Adonis of Congress, has an advantage over! his competiters in‘respect to loeka, giving him an edge in the feminine vote. Add a pleasing physiognomy to intelligence and alertness, you have a combination hard te beat. Women, unless they have the per- sonality and charm of a Ruth Bryan Owen, have a long uphill climb to be reeagnized politically on a par with their masculine competitors. Not a feminine aspirant for office goes into the second primary, K. K. K.—the Teutonic Kirche, Kochen, Kinder, continues to be considered their forte by the electors. FIRST OCEAN STEAMER There was.a special display of flags | on government buildings and other ob- servances to mark the 115th anniversary of the sailing of the Savannah, the first ship to use steam in crossing an ocean, from Savannah, Ga., for Liverpool on May 24, 98 feet long, equipped with both sail and steam, and the voyage took 26 days. While approaching the English coast with smoke rolling from her stack, observers signalled to shore that a ship was on ffre. From Liverpool thé Savannah went to |. St. Petersburg, where the ezar is said to have taken much interest in the pioneer craft. A return trip to-Savannah was suc- cessfully made, but the vessel did not pay, so her steam equipment was removed and she was used as a packet. The Savannah foundered in a heavy storm off Long Is- land a few years later, : It is a far cry from the little Savannah to the ocean liners of the present, some of | which exceed 900 feet in length and have a displacement of more than 50,000 tons. But in spite of her diminutive size the Savannah made maritime history, and her feat marked the beginning of a new era in ocean navigation. 1819. The Savannah was a tiny vessel, only STUPIDITY OF WAR Everyone who thinks about realize the absurdity of placitig tWé armies | of men in the field to kill each other, when the men themselves have no_ personal grudge against those whom they are sup- posed to kill, nor any definite idea of what it is all about. ‘This was strikingly illustrated some time ago in China, where two opposing generals, Marshal Ho and General Lu, both secretly deserted their armies and fled to Japan. Not knowing that their leaders had départed, the contending armies fought on for eight hours. When it was discovered that the gen- erals had gone, the two armies threw down their arms and mingled with each other in friendly fashion. This incident is vouched for by the treasurer of the Episcopal mis- sion at Shanghai. Opposing troops of civilized nations, especially, have fraternized in many, wars during periods of truce. Aj large number of American soldiers married German girls after the world war. The common people have nothing to do with war, except to do -the fighting, the suffering and the dying. While America must not’allow a mis- guided pacifism to weaken her capacity for defense, her voice always should be raised in protest against the stapidity of war. WILES OF WOMEN Whatever one may think of the pres- ent female habits of painting, penciling, dyeing and the like, it must be admitted that while the effects obtained may be in a degree deceptive, there is no attempt made to conceal the fact that artificial aids to beauty are employed. : Even the most tnsophistic “of mi “are aware that arf is brought t6 thé‘al nature with the utmost frankness.:Whether the effects produced really lend charm to the modern woman is largely a matter of individual opinion, In former times women who em- pluged cunning devices to lure the male sex were frowned upon. A Massachusetts law of 1634 forbade the wearing of “any apparel, either woolen, silk or lynnen, with any lace on it, or silver, golde or silver threads." The English Parliament of 1770 passed an act providing “that any woman who shall entice into marriage any of His Majesty’s subjects by means of perfume, false hair or false hips shall be condemned as a sorceress and the marriage shall be} declared null and void.” _ Sinee these days - customs -have changed greatly buat human nature has not, The League of Nations wants the United States to take a mandate over Liberia.
