WOMEN DOING LESS TALKING
French Scientist Makes tho Assertion
and Gives Reasons for tho Some
what Strange Change.

NJ. Dubudout, a French scientist,
has recently given out some startling
facts. which appear to show that the
tendency OF woman to talk Is actually
growing less, and that If this alarming
decline keeps up the woman OF a
thousand years from now may be
mans silent partner, speaking seldom
and only when words are absolutely
necessary.
This strange change" he says,
car be explained in several ways.
For that there has been a change
l have no longer any doubt, after
my extended observation, not in
France, but in America, and England,
and Italy, and Spain. Women are not
the persistent, animated
tionalists that they were 20 years ago.
Take, for instance, women in res
taurants and at public places of all
kinds, where they are seen freely
moving about with men. Everywhere
you see the men taking not only their
W share in the conversation, but
wen leading it in many cases. At
receptions, too, Il at public dinners,
the fair sex seems, fCf some time now,
to be letting the reins of conversation
slip from their hands.
One explanation for this queer
state of affairs Is that women, with
their growing interest in outside do
ings, in business and politics, and in
the strenuous pursuit of careers indie
pendent Of men, are becoming more
and more s~elf-absorbed. A woman
whose mind Is occupied with some
burning question of the day, or who
is greatly concerned over the success
of her next business venture, or the
popular approval of her latest book
or picture or song, is not nearly so
likely to keep up a running fire Of
light conversation as her more care
free sister of 20 years ago.
IF the man she is with shows an
inclination to talk she is more than
willing to let him. 1t gives her greater
opportunity to follow out her own
train of thought, while outwardly she
%pretends to drink in every word that
he says.
The o~ld-fashioned woman was not
interested in self-advancement. Meth
er did her own affairs absorb her. She
chatted on constantly, sometimes in.
terestingly, cleverly. occasionally,
even brilliantly, but always more or
less specifically. Now she is inter-
ested more deeply in things, she does
not seem able to talk about them
so readily"
NJ. Dubudout claims to have spent
over a year studying this question,
and to have gathered actual statistics,
first hand, from watching men and
women in different parts OF the world.

held this year as the president goes away
for the Christmas holidays. There is a
possibility that the diplomatic reception
scheduled for Januar-- 6. may be delayed
a few days to give the president longer
rest In q southern climate.
The agreement to vote on the currency
bill in the senate with prospects of its
being brought to the president for sig

HAD TO DRAW 1918 TAX
State Did, Today, to Pay 1919
Bills.

Drafts for ten per cent Of the 1913
taxes-or $337,1S7-were drawn on
the county treasurers late this after
noon by State Treasurer Earl Akers
and State Auditor w. E. Davis. This
money, which was collected for the
payment of next years bills. will be
used to meet the states deficit for the
current year.
Several months ago. it was announc-
ed that the states finance would not be
sufficient to meet the bills until the
new taxes became available. After the
November bills were paid by the state.
there was about $150.000 of the state
taxes left with which to meet the
claims against the state until the first
OF the year. The drafts on the county
treasurers today will raise sufficient
funds to meet all claims which will be-
come payable next week.
In event there il a shortage in the tax
collections for December, the Democratic
administration will probably encounter
more trouble next spring in meeting its
bills until the June taxes are collected.
None Of the money drawn this month was
intended for use by the state until after
the first Of the year. but ruling by the
attorney general permits the making of
drafts on the county treasurers in Decem-
ber.
A shortage was experienced last year in
the states revenue and drafts were made
ON the county treasurers shortly after the
collection OF the December tax
