STRENGTH NOT MATTER OF SEX
Average Woman May be as Powerful
Physically as Man.

Can the average woman be as strong
physically as the average man?
Mile. Sandwinas, the acrobat, tour
ing vaudeville with the Sandwinas, an.
swers:
Yes. The fact that almost every
body believes the physical possibilities
OF the average woman are extremely
limited Is the cause of the average
woman being a weakling From girl.
hood women are told that the opposite
sex is the lawful possessor of the
strong right arm, and the average
woman takes this universal testimony
without questioning IT,"
Mile. Sandwinas tells mothers that
they should encourage their daughters
to be "tomboys," and that while some
boys games may be bit too rough
for the girls. yet most OF the boys
games should be adopted by girls to
replace the so-called girls games
She asserts she has taken personal
interest in the careers of women who
were "tomboys" when girls and says
they have always proven successful in
whatever they attempted, a result she
considers due to the confidence ac-
companying superb physique.
