One of the revelations brought
out in the present naval inquiry at
Washington is that tampering with
official documents seems to be quite
common as part of naval ethics
s'for the honor of the service. "
Commenting on the naval manage
ment behind doors, the Chicago
Chronicle says: 'sIt is we'll that
ray Of daylight should occasionally
flash into these extraordinary
methods of attempting to keep facts
from the public that no alleged
stain may rest upon any naval OF
fcer. Amid all the miserable
jealousies that are cropping out as
the Schley inquiry progresses there
runs a uniform note of distrust of
publicity. Some day these naval
officials will be made to realize that
the American navy is branch Of
the public service, and that the acts
of all it's officers are amenable to
strict scrutiny when occasion
arises. daily States.

ASenSitiVe letter to Sensitive Women
By Angela Morgan.
By Angela Morgan.

ADVICE given to sensitive women
u would really seem 70 include wo-
men as 2 class. for it is al undeniable
fact that the majority of women are
sensitive. However, there IS a certain
type Of woman who possesses the SEN
sitive quality to IN extreme degree
the super-sensitive woman. II is to
her that this letter is addressed.
Now. I'm not going to censure her
too severely. for she really had a hard
enough time Of il already. without the
additional sting OF blame to harass her
spirit. What she needs. after all. is the
persuasive power Of sympathetic rea-
scning rather than the uncomprOmising
harshness Of condemnation.
The representative woman really
gets little or no sympathy from her
practical, relatively unimpressionaDle
fellow beings To them her "meSrims
are wfllfJl departures from rational
sense and feeling. whereas in fact they
are t-emperameptal and have to do with
the peculiaritics of a finely constructed
organization. Yes. it's a fact Much

and otherwise.
