WOMAN A SAVAGE
YET, DECLARES
DIR. MAX bAFF
PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY
SHE HAS STOOD STILL IF
NOT RETROGRADED,
SAYS SCIENTIST.

BOSTON, May 14.-Dr. Max Baff,
fellow in psychology in Clark col
lege, Worcester, and member of
the American Medical association,
says the present day woman is no
better than the savage from a
psychological point of view.
Man has outgrown his savage
customs of personal adornment
with the progress of civilization"
says DR.. Baff, "but woman has re-
manned stationary, If she has not
actually refrigerated. Among saw
ages, like the American Indian, for
example, both sexes indulge In
wearing feathers, painting them
selves and attaching rings and USE
less ornaments to their persons.
Men have outgrown these. But look
at the woman of today. She loves
to wear feathers, stuffed bodies of
dead birds, even of barnyard fowls
that lack the aesthetic suggestion
of the forests and bring to mind
only the butcher shop. She pierces
her ears that she may hang bits of
gold and cleaning stones there, she
wears rings and bracelets and neck
laces. Her savage love of gaudy col
ors is another evidence of her lack
of advancement. Again, she wears
her hair long, arranges 1t in fantas-
tic shapes, oftentimes made even
more grotesque by artificial means.
AS for painting her face-that is
something that everybody knows"

Then for two weeks they will con-

experiment has been success they
may knock off eating indefinitely,

in the vicinity following in their
footsteps that most of the dealers
in foodstuffs may have to go out of

Forty-hve rooms were to have been

proxies from a number of absent stock

ponents Of the proposition. The majority

by stock. and not by count of noses
Thereupon eighteen stockholders with

p. G. Hazen and G.. V. Van Nest was
selected TO Craw up a statement to he
sent to every stakeholder, in which the
opponents of TIE proposition to build an
addition to the hotel will set forth their
side of the argument.
The opposition argues that the addition
would cost nearer 100000 than 10000;
that only forty new rooms would be avail
able instead of forty-fve: that the re-
ceipts of the company have been used to
pay off Indebtedness on the hotel. and
that they were opposed to increasing this
h! debt.
/ Those who favor the addition say that,
while the hotel has been remarkably sue

to accommodate all desirable persons who
seek TO make their quarters there during
