alted months os tvee. + Bide Bids han Fravelece Mew Tork office What She Wants CCORDING to the 19th biennial conference of the A General Fe of Womer at Los Angeles Mrs. John B. Rol of Philadelphia, has first prize for an essay on “W Do the Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand Ch en Want From the Publishers?” When 2,700,000 women want somet! unitedly, that want ought to be seriously studied and quickly filled, if possible. We notice, as the essence of this 2,700,000. power want, that the demand is largely for novelty, For instance “We want,” says Mrs. Roberts, “biography that shows aman’s soul well as the facts of his life; autobiography that is not conceited; poetry that wakes an echo our souls; and we don’t want books that point a moral. We prefer to make our own deductions.” a We are not saying that these things which the 2,700,000 club ladies want wouldn't be good for them. But, had the soul of the man been included in some of the most distinguished biographies, a good many ladies would be tempted to hold their noses while reading. It is true, however, that autobiographies are crammed with conceit, and publishers would eagerly welcome a change in this respect. A fellow who would publish to the world an ac- count of himself, starts with ungovernable conceit, as a rule. Also, it is safe to say that an intelligent woman neither wants nor needs books that point a moral. Such a woman usually has a better moral in her head than the authors present, and what the woman really feels she wants, at the conclusion of most of the general run of present day books, is not the pointing of a moral but the pointing of a policeman, or the fire department hose. What Would You Do? TF, CROSSING a street, you suddenly turned and saw that a speeding auto was about to hit you before you could jump aside, what would you do? This happened to George Gliserman, Boston newsboy. George had presence of mind to lie flat and let the car pass over him. Maybe it’s just as well all pedestrians can't think as fast. Drivers would just be correspond- ingly more reckless. Caution varies with danger. He Would, and He Did! EAD.this one to your boy, if the Lord has blessed you with one. It is a short, true story that's good for boys, and for fathers, and for all Americans. At 15 years of age, Wallace Hastings was left an or- phan, in Oakland, Cal. Too bad, everybody said. What chance had a boy alone in the world—no home, no folks, mighty little of anything? But, an orphan boy may have things that folks don’t see. Wallace had pluck and de- termination to win his way. This orphan boy worked at odd jobs and studied at odd hours, and graduated from high school in 1918. He en- listed in the army and went to Siberia with the Ameri- ¢an expeditionary forces. He also went right on working to bring out what there was in him. _ In 1920, as a private, mind you, he asked for examina- tion for admission to West Point Military Academy, and passed with highest markings. For four years Cadet Wallace has been working, study- ing, struggling to succeed. No congressman's political ‘pull” to push him along. No mother or father with a word of help or cheer. Just a strong-hearted boy making his life-battle with courage and a will that would not be put down. A high school diploma his only honor, while hundreds of his competitors had on the walls of their dens the prized “sheepskins” of the great colleges. And now the orphan graduates from West Point Mili- tary Academy as HONOR MAN of the class of 1924, and Uncle Sam gives him a lieutenancy to start with. Read this story to your boy and observe his face as he listens. It may even show you what sort of a boy you've got. Maybe It Is 5-4-3 HE Honda wreck by wholesale was due to the navy’s not knowing where it was at, and the Mississippi's explosions seem to have been due to the navy’s not know- ing what was in its guns. Such matters surely serve to strengthen the claim that . the ratio of big navies has got to 5-4-3, with Uncle Sam on the little end. Now That We’re Rested— That G, O. P.
