Another dead idea that should be buried. The lord and lady idea persisted thru the Puritan era and down into the commer- age. And even yet we subcons f iously cling to the idea that women are a race apart and their physical stamina will not permit them to compete with men in the hard jobs. A girl, if trained as a boy is trained, is as hardy and as tough and as brave and as and probably -more dexterous, than her brother. - Nprays in Gome lands the women have done the heavy work. There is no fundamental weakness inherent in women that would prevent them anything that a man can do, provided they escaped early from high heels, corsets, ly, cosmetics and emotionalism. Somewhere in the world today women are doing everything that men are doing. Women stevedores in the Orient, women wrestlers in Japan, women field hands all Europe; women athletes, women soldiers, women explorers and women hunters. took to hard physical work during the war like happy ducklings freed from : a hen’s dry wings, and all over the world women are holding day labor jobs in direct tion with men.

Editor The Star Dear Ed, you published, half in mirth, the question, “What's a Quarter’s worth?” And said you'd really like to know how far a Quarter ought to go; and so you asked a bunch of guys to loosen Up and put you wise. Two-bits would buy, as said by some, car tokens, cigarets and gum; and there were one or two who said it bought three loaves of baker's bread; but no one toid, in their replies, the most a quarter really buys.
