VIEWS ON WOMAN MORALITY.

mon are not much considered by their
children. A man who proves unW1ii-
| ing or unable to do his share IN Sc
curing food for the family or in pro
tecting it's interest is sent home to
his mother. In such a house group
the vast Importance of the mOther-in-
law is clearly seen, and certainly
the ill-natured stories told by us
about that maligned woman point
back to a former condition among
ourselves analogous to that found
among the Tlingits. In fact, many
might say that the actual survival stu
exists in many cases
Here and in Africa.
Prof. Starr makes the following
comparison of African and civilized
society women
"A woman we'll got up in Central
Africa is actually a work of art. Her
body is smeared from head to foot
with a thick coating of redwood dust,
mixed with oil. ZigZags, spirals, stripes
and chickering's, made by scrap1ng
through this coating, show handsome
~ in brown from the skin eoloring
below. Her neck may be loaded with
strings Of heavy beads, chiefly blue
and white in color; her arms and legs
heavy with rings of copper, brass, and
iron. The girdle Of her waist may
terminate in front with a little apron
OF ndtlNe clOln. III I1eI lower up
is thrust a plug Of ivory, half an inch
or more across. Her nose carries a
peg of good thrust through the
septum. Her hair, deliberately dress
ed, represents many hours of b
by a friend. Such a woman, in the
careful detail of her makeup. is fit
for comparison with her white sisters
ready for a charity BALL
Defended as Modest.
Prof. Starr defends the naked AT
rican women from charges of immO-
deSty, declaring:
"Nakedness is not i~mmodesty. We
use the word naked with care. BY it
We mean the absolute absence of dress
or ornament. A woman who wear a
string of beads about her neck is not
actually naked. Of truly naked peo-
pie there are but few. Upon the roads
in Central Africa one not ~infrequently
meets with NgOmbe women carrying
~burdenS, who are absolutely naked.
But it would be a mistake to think
that these Ngombe women are i'm
modest or that morally they suffer
from the nudity. On the contrary, in
their and conduct the are
as reserved as al be asked"

securities u Of which you wanted
your money back! Why, then, twenty
or thirty telephones all in a row in
one room, all communicating directly
with brokers, for no other purpOse
than to transmit orders TO brokers
have it. Why? Because the manipu-
lator's business is neither direct.
straightforward. nor simple.
He deals in what doesn't exist; he
creates q market today where there
was none yesterday and may be none
tomorrow; he. must give the market
the impression that he is buying or
selling heavily when, in fact he is do
ing the reverse: he must scatter his
orders SO that none may follow what
he is really doing; he sends ten bro
kers into the market to sell what he
mas sent perhaps one other in to Guy.
He plays upon his telephones as a Inu-
slcian plays upon. the keys of a piano.
Ten or them may communicate with
brokers' known in the Street as Of a
highly speculative class, and two
may communicate with conservative
brokers' whose relations with certain
banking interests cause the Stock
exchange to attach importance to the
orders they execute. Then if the ma
nipulator should want to sell stock
without depressing the market unduly.
he might distribute over the ten tele-
phones orders to sell $4,000 shares
or stock, and over the two ''conserva-
tive wires orders to buy q 5000 shares
OF the same stock. The Stock En-
change would see a lot of rash pro
kers selling heavily and two very
strong houses buying steadily. and the
report would go forth: THE selling is
evidently a speculative character. and
the buyln looks good. It is bly,
q bear drive at the stock"

The Poison of the
Streets

has begun q fight on the Wall street
gambling outrage. 1t starts out with
the following assertions:
Margin gambling is at the bottom
OF our banking insecurity.
Margin gambling makes wash sales
possible.
Margin gambling makes mere
paWns Of huge properties, with the
control shifting over night.
Margin gambling gives opportunity
TOR made-to-order panics and Black
Fridays. and black failures and sui
cides and social unrest.
1t is surely worth while to INQUIRE
into the methods of Wall Street if its
operations can result in the loss Of
place and income, and the locking ND
OF the savings, of even the humblest
workers, in remote corners of our
country. If Wall Street can at will de-
cree high prices or low, and with them
prosperity or adNersity for US all. is it
not time that the people should see
to 1t that undue and unrestrained
power is not lodged in the hands of
q few, that the game they play is a
fair one. and that the livelihood of
all Of us is not imperiled by unfair
or gambling methods?
The following extracts are made
from the February and March issues:
A Hartman market" q
Oil market" and a Morgan market"

portant respects, because Of different
manipulative tactics. Behind ench one
you would find, if YOU knew where to

.ORPAANAGE WORKERS MEET
CONFERENCE OF REPRESFNTA-
TIVES FROM SOUTHERN
STATES AT ATLANTA.

Atlanta, Ca, April 17.-There as
embed in the Orphans Home of the
NORTH. Georgia Conference in Decatur.
a beautiful suburb of Atlanta. on
April 14-15, a company of earnest men
and women engaged in the great work
Of the redemption of childhood. Rep-
resentatives We're present from Missis-
sippi, Texas, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Georgia.
The company was bright as We'll as
earnest and the discussions GOVERNS
many important phases of o~rphanage
work, were luminous and helpful. The
exchange of experiences from tn.
various worker always proves eX-
ceedingly helpful. While the work is
the same, as two institutions do it
exactly alike. The different view
points of these experts, many Of whom
have given years of study to the mat
ter, becoming the common property of
all, make this one Of the truly great
conventions of the South.
This conference is in striking con
trast with that recently held in Wash
ington under the management OF the
late lamented President Roosevelt.
That was the exploiting Of beautiful
theories gained from books: this the
result Of practical knowledge gained
from close contact with children. That
showed how the work ought - be
done; this revealed how the work is
done day by day. That was called to
magnify the placing out plan, and
incidentally to boost the Delineator;
this to show the necessity for the in
%stitution as the next best agency to
the home that vas lost.
One of the most charming and up
lifting addresses of the conference was
that by DR.. r. g. Buckner, Of Texas,
on "A Third of a Century of Orphan
Home Work"
Thirty-three years ago DR.. Buckner,
q man of marvellous executive ability
and boundless began the
work in the Empire State Of Texas;
today there are $50 children in the in
stitution which is far and among the
greatest o~rphanage in the South, and
one of the greatest in the world.

grotesque. Delicious refreshments
