WOMEN SHOULD PROPOSE.
Thus snys George Willis Cooke to
Social Scientists.

Boston, Dec. 17.-Women should do
the proposing to the men nowadays,
according to the belief expressed by
George Willis Cooke, lecturer at the
Boston School of Social Science. Shy
ness is not essentially a feminine quail
ity," he declared, but simply the re-
suit of teaching. Women at the pres
ent time appear to be getting a better
education than men. and therefore
should be able to select a helpmate
more intelligently than a man can do.
She is taking the initiative in
business and in politics, and the time
is coming when she could also take II
in love. Marriages will be happier
when women do the counting.
Among the Zuni Indians OF New
Mexico, the women pop the question to
the men and the spouse goes to the
wife's home, she being then the property
owner. She controls the house and lands
and directs the business affairs OF the
ramiIy.
And be 1t known that the Zuni
women are extremely modest and vir-
tuous and they would afford in this re-
spect a very good example for the

SOCIALIST SOON
IN WHITE HOUSE,
SAYS Mr.. BERGER
Declares Party Is Growing
Like "Prairie Fire."
MAKES BREEZY SPEECH

Promising that the Socialist party will
give the ballot not only to the men. but
to the women OF the District as soon as
the party is sufficiently represented in
Congress, and predicting that the day is
not far distant. Representative Victor
Berger, of Milwaukee, last night, ad-
dressing one of the largest Socialist
mass meetings ever assembled in Wash
ington, declared that II the District Com
mittee, of which he is a member, does
not get busy" soon he will raise ter
rife hades."
Have Overflow Meeting.
He made these statements before two
audiences, for the auditorium on the sec
ond floor of National Rifles Armory was
not large enough to hold the hundreds
who clamored for admittance, and an
| Overflow" meeting was held on the first
floor, being addressed by each speaker
as soon as he had concluded his speech
before the audience upstairs.
Representative Berger dealt with
questions of interest to the nearly p
90 Washingtonians present. He de-
clared the Socialist party suffered its
recent defeat in Los Angeles only be-
cause of the Mcnamara case, but that
case" he said, lis not going to hurt
socialism or the trade unions either in
the long run. If the Socialist party
continues to grow with the prairie
fire speed of the last year. it will have
the White House in four years. / took
up the Mcnamara case because l
thought they were innocent, and 1
would do the same thing tomorrow
under the same circumstances.
Parties Play Politics.
The other parties in Congress are al
ways playing politics. Beneath all this
Russian business 1 can see a play for
the Jewish vote Big interests don't want
war, and with our present regime of dol
lar diplomacy, were not going to have
war They only stop playing dollar d.

DEATH CLAIMS OLD
RAILWAY OFFICIAL
Grief Hastens End of w. q.
GreegOr.

Grief, following the death OF Henry w.
Fuller, general passenger agent OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, who died
about two months ago, is believed to have
been partially the cause of the death OF
his old friend, William H. Greegor, who
expired at his home, 1915 Calvert street
northwest, yesterday.
He had been associated with Mr.. Full
Ter as assistant passenger agent for more
than twenty years. For the last thirty
years he was in the railroad business.
When the general passenger agent died
last October Mr.. Greegor, who until then
had been in good health, rapidly declined.
Mr.. Greegor was sixty-six years old.
He served with distinction in the civil
war in an Ohio regiment. Two daugh-
tiers, both married, and three sons sur
vive.
The funeral will be held from Harvey's
chapel, at 1925 Fourteenth street, to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock. Burial
will be with military honors in Arlington
Cemetery, Rev. Herbert Scott Smith Off
ciating.

GOSPEL PREACHED
IN CHINESE TONGUE
Capital CeIestials Gather at
House of Worship.

Twenty weight Chinese men, sans queue
and radiant native garb as BELTS an
Americanized Celestial, with five women
and a number Of big-eyed, glossy-haired
children, gathered in a room and an
alcove on the second floor OF 207 John
Marshall place last night and for the
first time in the religious history of the
District heard The Christian gospel ex-
pounded in their mother tongue.
While Anglo-Saxon citizens OF the
United States were present at the
unique service and participated in the
exercises they played only minor roles
and understood not a word of the SER
mon delivered by Rev. DR.. c. X. Chiu
in his native Cantonese. Even the sing
ing of hymns was in Chinese from books
of paper bindings, Enthusiastically ar
tistic, with the printing running north
and south instead of the conventional
east and west, as is prevalent in Eng
lish literature.
Had the worshipers dropped battered
coins with square holes in the middle OF
the collection basket, the local color
would have been complete, but no cOllec-
ton was taken, as those Americans who
are guiding the destinies OF the new
house OF worship did not want the future
attendance lessened by the embarrass
ment of some Celestial not in d position
in his strange environment in a new land
to contribute a piece of money.
DR.. Chiu selected his text from II
Chronicles vi, and based his theme on
the quotation: But have built a house
of habitatIon for thee and a place for
thy dwelling forever" When he con-
cluded, Chinese members of the little
gave testimony and expert
ences, expressing their appreciation of
the new church given them and promis-
ing their aid in the new endeavor. DR..
Chiu later interpreted these talks for
those who heard but could not under
stand the Chinese language.
