The Seatt months § le Star The Modern Magellans England today after having flown three- ‘ the earth A Tip 10r Women in Politics HE National Woman's party will launch a drive for women in congress. The idea ought to be as normal and ordinary as is the idea of lawyers in congress, or farmers in congress, or Methodists. Any woman who demonstrates her ability or who earns party advancement should be dily sent to congress as is a man in. the same circumstances. Here friendly tip to women in general as to why this happy condition does not exist Women holding office to date have made men uncom- fortable. They've spoiled that delicious spirit of comarad- erie that invests congress or a city council or any other political ‘group. Men haven't felt that they could put their feet on the itable, cloud the room with smoke, and swear once in a while as they debated affairs of state Let the woman politician stop spoiling the party. Let her smoke, too, if she enjoyssmoking and does it at home. Tf she feels like unburdening herself of a string of the Kind of words papers don’t print, let her do so. If she doesn’t know how to do either of these things, or doesn’t want to, let her make it plain that she doesn’t expect others im the room to act like stilted tin angels just because she _is there. Let her stand up once in a while if there aren't chairs enough to go around. Let her show convincing logic to Support her pet project if she expects to have it approved, not look timid and rely on chivalry to let her slide by. Let her take the stage and win her audience by what she : ' rather than by how she looks. Let her act like a human being, and she will find a ready welcome to any field she wants to enter. i Livening Up Figures ‘TEN it is amusing, as well as instructive, to go a long ways for proportions and illustrations. There was old farmer Jonas Little, way back in the long past, who, when asked how many piglets his prize Berkshire had produced, answered, “A 480th of a mile.” There were 11 piglets, each a foot long. If each took the tail of another in its mouth, there would be a string 11 feet long, as Jonas figured it. Comes now Mr. L. E. Ross, director of the California bureau of vital statistics, who is statistically familiar with $0,237 babies born in his state the past year. These babies weighed 263 tons, meat and bones included. They were of assorted lengths but, placing them head to foot, Director Ross visions a line over 25 miles long. _ You can see how easy it is to get the proportions, by comparison. The average dressed steer weighs about 900 pounds. Thus, 58414 steers would represent, in meat, those 263 tons of baby. Quite a drove of cattle. Vision those babies laid foot to head, altho they would never stay "| laid, and you have a distance but about a mile short of the great Olympic marathon. Think of running 25 miles with five or more babies at every jump. Congratulations to Director Ross!
