Sterner Stuff That Men Are Made Of Doesn’t - Show Up in Vital Statistics. By Neal R. O’Hara. 1921, (New York Evening World) by the Press Publishing Co. NE of the prominent paradoxes of married life is how weaker sex A knowledge of fractions can’t explain Science is dumb on the question, too. Sclence states that two fifties make a hundred, two pints make a quart and two cuff links make a set. But scence makes no wise cracks about woman being 49 er cent. in sttength, nerve and endurance departments. , AS matter of fiction, woman is the weaker sex. But as matter of fact, she is not! True, she may not Dave the strength of Gibraltar, but ber mind isn’t solid rock, either. Don’t overlook that point, neighbor. That sterner stuff ain’t what it used to be. Woman may be weaker, as the proverbs claim, but you don’t notice 4t with the naked eye. And the naked eye is scooping up quite a bit this Season, so far as scanning the dames is concerned. Man is slave to gen- erous impulses. He buys chewing gum and lead pencils from corner panhandlers because he cannot bear to see ‘em suffer. Woman is not soft- boiled like that. She can stand and watch folks suffer. She can even sit and watch ‘em writhe—through eighteen instalments of a movie se- That's how woman compares with a six-minute egg. When man acquires a set of bun- ions, he nurses ’em. Hot baths, pink Salve, peek-a-boo shoes. No woman »-+ has ever yet acknowledged bunions. To repudiate the doorknobs on her toes, she orders shoes two sizes smaller. Does that sound like weaker sex, old dear? Especially when you think of the bunions. When smallpox, typhus and other high-grade ills swoop down on what is called the populace, man digs for the nearest doctor and absorbs a vaccination to protect his health. Woman? Well, not so you could notice it. A jab of vaccine would ruin ber ar and what is a gamble with typhus and smallpox compared with one’s arms when one dances decollete? A guy will dread six pins that are sure to be stuck in the shirt that comes from the laundry. He won't take a chance and put it on till the sixth and last pin is taken out. But his wife will slip on a one-piece gown, tear off a half-page of com- mon pins and hide ’em all over ber plaits and ruffles. And the knowl- edge of those forty-eight scattered pins won't prevent her from sitting out a dance or two. When a man’s heart gets weak, he gives up high life and frolicking. But when a wrens ‘heart starts skip- ping she orders full speed ahead for cabarets, ballrooms and high-voltage Troadhouses—so she wont miss so much in case her heart stops beat- ing. A guy at middle age will take out dent, health, life, fire and bur- glary insurance so as to be on the safe side, But his wife wouldn't spend a dime to register a letter that was filled with the family Liberty bonds. And so forth, A chap won't even propose wedded bliss till he has $2,000 in the savings bank. But a jane will elope with a flat-broke guy, so long as he has tickets to the next way-station, Yep, women may be the weaker sex from standpoint of muscle, marrow and brawn. But when it comes to mental stamina, tbat is where man jumps off. a eT ; Going Down BE Gonoright. 1921, by The Press rublantag Ow New ‘York Fvenina World). ‘iy gee Earnest One: It is bet- ter to be stupid than to be wrong.
