And the storm has broken—s res: ular snowstorm of letters to The Evening World, some denouncing Dr. Francke, others devoting their scorn to Dr. Wheeler, but every last one protesting that women are not knockkneed, or, if they sre, that knock knees are quite the most beau- tiful things in the world. as to detalls, ‘The Germas physician at- tributed the alleged knock knees of ‘women to the prevailing fashion of tight skirts, while the editor uf the New York Medica!

Dear Madame: I am going to have something to say in this matter. I may introduce myself by stating that ‘g qm a master in surgery of Edinburgh University. If you oan find a higher degree I should like to hear about it. This knock-kneed business about women is all nonsense. A women's I petvis is—should be—much wider thai ‘a man's, Tho thigh bones, therefore, must converge at a gieater angle in order to bring the knees together. The apparent knock-kneedness of a woman is only a matter of compariatn.

Now will certain learned medicos be good? {f they won't, this letter from @ woman reader of The Evening World that all women are knockkneed as the result of wearing tight akirts. If this were true, men would have the prior right to knockknees, as they wore skirts long before we did. Also the women of Turkey, China, Morocco, In- dia and other African and Aslan coun- tries should be specifically exempted from the char as they all wenr trouse: beautifying effects of the c men wore skirts for hundreds of year! and as in certain countries they still wear them, men should be knockkneed, according to the Francke theory whereas everybody knows tha: the average man is as bowlegged as a beetle or @ bull pup. How does Dr. Francke reconcile this phenomenon with his little theory?” IT 16 A CASE OF COMPARATIVE STRENGTH. Maybe Dr. Francke can't explain it; but Iam going to try. It seems to me the answer I'es in the statement of the surgeon, author of the first letter I have quoted, that ‘mechanically woman has @ much strong structure than man,’ and that ‘the average woman can carry a much digger burden for a much longer time than the average man,’ In support of this statement I cite the recent declaration of Mra.
