BEARDED WOMEN

A German scientist declares that the
new woman" will have beard some
time in the remote future! Another sa-
want writes that the theory is by no
means new. He says, in Natural Science,
| that If it is not definitely stated by Dar-
win in his Descent of Man." it is an OBJ
vious conclusion from what is there
stated:
The appearance of the beard in Homo
is quite analogous to that of horns in
other animals: and just as horns have
apparently been acquired by the fe-
males of certain species. by what may
be called inherited TRANSMISSION from
the males. so will boards be obtained in
time by the future females of Homo.
This is an awful aspect of the case and
one worthy the serious and scientific
consideration of the protagonists of the
new woman" school of progress
-----
The mild demand of the Federation of
Labor for the reasonable restriction of
immigration is calculated to weaken
rather than bolster up the measure now
before congress, which failed of passage
at the last session. Organized labor ap-
pears to have modified its views mate
rally upon this question within the past
year, for what reason is not apparent.
Formerly imported foreign labor was
responsible for most of the ills that be-
set the toiler in this country. 1t has
probably been discovered that falling
prices and other incidents of the change
from a double to a single standard are
the real underlying causes of industrial
depression and wage reduction.
~
Local business continues to improve
as the end of the calendar year ap
proaches. The showing of Sc per cent
increase over the same week last year
is exceeded by only seven of the fifty
five cities whose clearings are reported
by Bradstreet's. Los Angeles will con-
tinue to be strongly in evidence among
the progressive cities of the country.
Dr. Carl Schlatter's discovery that
man can live without a stomach is
timely. Had the good times brought
about by the Republican party been
lasting, it wouldn't have made so much
difference; as it is, about ten million
people in this country will be disposed to
