CATT IS INTERESTING Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who re- cently celebrated her 79th birthday, has abandoned her annual practice of com-! piling a list of the ten outstanding women | of the day because of fear that she might overlook some one performing noble work. Mrs. Catt predicts that the next war is “‘a long way off,” and we hope she is right. She describes Hitler, Mussolini and | the war lords of Japan-as the real menacé to peace and feels the need of a “leader of leaders in peace, a man to point the way.” She does not give any idea, however as to just how the leader of leaders is going to get Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese war lords to follow him. One very interesting observation falls from her lips in a comparison of the labor movement with the woman movement, both of. which began at about the same time. She says there has been and is “a vast difference between the struggle of men and women to attain their economic wants.” The difference she feels, is that men are getting their demands by force while women have attained their ends by means of legislation passed upon their ap- peal to reason which has educated public opinion. The veteran feminist does not believe that the time will come when womeri will hold the balance of power in business and tf as families there will loyed in financial life ently men will find more pro- motions in politics.” GIRLS WANT KILLERS Native girls in some parts of Papua reject a suitor unless he can prove he has killed a man, according to a report re- cently made by the governor of the terri- tory to the Australian prime minister. They demand proof of the killing in the form of a finger of the dead man. The finger is smoke dried and worn sus- pended from the girl’s neck. The story is told of one suitor who had tough luck in his search for the re- quired memento. Looking for a_ victim, he became lost in the wilderness and al- most starved, but was rescued and after regaining his stréngth he startéd out again. Crossing a river, he narrowly escaped be- ing caught by a huge alligator. Continuing his man hunt, he hid in the grass near a native village and waited. He attacked the first man who came along, but his intended victim beat him terribly and left him for'dead. Another villager nursed him to recovery and he made his way home. Upon his return he begged the girl to marry him without requiring him to kill} a man, but she would have nothing more to do with him. So, it appears that in spite of all the romance which is supposed to attach to the islands of the South Sea, courting a native girl in those . has its difficulties. ‘||Q@He wuippine Post ‘ aa i the state of Washington the matter of establishing whipping posts for men convitted of felony a second time or of crimes of*violence is being considered, and | a poll of lawyers is under way with a view to obtaining their views on the question, The poll is being taken by the legis- lative committee of the state bar as- | sociation, and if sentiment appears to be strongly in favor of this form of punish- ment, an effort may be made to pass leg- islation providing for it. Under the bar commijttee’s plan whipping would be ad- ministered only to men more than 21 years old and in sound physical condition. Miss Reah Whitehead, a Seattle jus- tice of the. peace, would have the law ex- tended to women offenders, also, with the provision that in their cases the lash would ! be wielded only by women. One argument made by advocates of the whipping post is that this form of punishment would be dreaded by crim. inals, not only because of the pain int flicted, but also because of the feeling of | shame a public flogging would bring up- on the culprit. Maryland has a statute mits whipping under stances, while in Delawz which _ per- certain circum- e men convicted of wife-beating may be so punished, but | the cruel severity which marked floggings for offenses in the past is no longer coun- Yesterday’s Patios .0 Ins Normal Precipitation .. .07 Ins. “Thin record covers howe period [ending nt X o'einck thin morning. wa! ag: H a a. m | <xpectations.
