WILLING TO STAND UPON DECI
SION OF STRIKE COM
MISSION

NEW YORK, April 5.-The anthra-
cite coal operators took official cog
nizance today of the widespread re
ports that the mine workers are piah-
ning to press their demands for The
recognition of the United Mine Work
ors of America, by issuing state
naent declaring that they "are willing
to stand absolutely upon the decision
of the anthracite strike commission
with respect to this demand.
The following is the statement, in
part:
"The operators have consistently
held that it is unreasonable to ask
them to enter into contract with n
union controlled by workers engaged
in bituminous mining, rival indus
try. They were upheld in this. by a
strike commission, which declared
first that the request for agreements
in the anthracite industry should be
an organization governed by the an
thracite mine workers and free from
the control or dictation of the bitumi-
nous mine workers"

ATLANTIC CITY, April 1.-The
big dirigible balloon which was built
by Melvin Vaniman and his hackers
at cost of more than 100000 for
the flight across the Atlantic ocean
was inflated today to its utmost ca
pacity and is swinging against its
anchor ropes, held down by sand bal
last, while big crowd looked on. But
Vaniman has made an admission that
in all probability no trans Atlantic
flight will be attempted in his dirig-
:ble. He has now in his brain half
million dollar airship capable Of car
rying half hundred passengers, dir
igible and fitted with staterooms, sa-
looms end dining rooms, in which he
is certain he will be able to cross the
Atlantic in a much shorter time than
the fastest liner. All this, he said,
is absolutely practicable by his new
discovery of wire woven fabric for
the bag, made leak proof by COM
position of his own which will solve
the battling problem to navigators Of
dirigibles. For trial purposes he will
take the Akron out as soon as the
weather favors and will make tri-

HULLY GEEl

Ard IN this same connection it is
time tnat we revised our ideas nf fem
iaine modesty, says Tde Argonaut
What lot we have written about il
and how much we have enthused over
i'll Some of us have even tried to
find in it an inspiration, and women
have listened to our praises and our
ecstacies for all these years and never
once have they divulged the secret
that they had not the slightest idea
what we were talking about. They
have known that we were crediting
them with some virtue that they did
not possess, but the only way in which
they could learn Of that virtue was
by an observation Of ourselves.
For modesty is a male, not fe-
male, virtue, and if men do not get
the credit due to them it is only
because they have lost the power to
blush. What is called feminine mod
esty is no more than an artificial pro-
tective device, something that is as-
sumed for purpose, like revolver.
1t has no basis in consciousness. But
male modesty has a basis in con-
sciousness and is unassumed. No
power on earth could persuade man
to enter a drawing room stripped to
the sixtieth degree Of latitude. He
would be quite shy about 1t II only
men were present, but women VIII
do this in the presence Of both sexes
and many of them would go lower
still but for the conventions.
Now a woman who had to walk
down the street in decolleta dress
would probably blush. She would say
that her modesty was offended. but
actually it is her sense Of che ap-
propriate that would be offended, fol
she has not the least objection t.
bathing in public--that is to say, play
ing about on the sands-in costum,
more explosive than the decollete gown
In short, q woman's sence Of modest,
is one-half protective pose and one
half . sense Of the appropriate. I
