Editor The Georgian:

l read with the greatest interest
your editorial on the persecution
Of Jews in Russia, and / wish to
congratulate you upon your stand
for humanity. Nobody nowadays
should dispose Of the lives Of hu-
man beings as atrociously as the
Jewish race seems to be disposed
Of in Russia.
But while I admire your ear
nestness in defending innocent
people living so far away (Which
makes your sentiments still no.
bler), l wish to ask you simple
question.
Do you really think that the
life of Jew is before God worth
any more than that of Greek, an
American or even Turk?
Do you think that Jews per-
secuted in Russia-it does not
matter for what cause or reason
should find more protection in
America and the Russions should
be stigmatized for their deeds

Man and Woman: Which Is the Superior?
Each Exce as Each Fails Certain PARTICULARS Both Are Necessary
to Make Up Humanity; to Augue Further Is Futile.

a CORRESPONDENT writes:
~ will you please discuss
the subject, is Man Supe-
rior TO Woman? A neighbor of
mine, foreigner, contends that
man Is superior to woman. He
holds that he Is far superior to
his wife, yet she does twice as
much work as ne does. She runs
both his home and his store, and
1t is her energy and intelligence
that have made his business a
success"
To argue about whether woman
is superior to man, or man Is SUI
perior to woman, is as futile as
to discuss whether winter is bet
ter than summer, or rain or sun
shine is more advantageous to
growing crops.
Each excels in certain particu-
lars, each fails in certain respects,
and both are necessary to make
up humanity. Take them by and
large. and men and women are cut
off OF pretty much the same piece
of goods. AS Mrs. Powser truly
said: Women are foolish-God
made them that way to match the
men"

Vast Majority of Men
Think Man Superior
to Woman.

Undoubtedly the vast majority
of men believe. on insufficient
evidence, that they are far supe-
rior to women. and that the mere
accident of sex is a sort of ge-
MUS in itself, so that anybody
who is entitled to wear trousers
is by reason of that fact more
intelligent, with a broader vision
and a saner judgment than even
the most gifted creature doomed
by nature to skirts.
A few women also hold of this
view, and great number profess
to subscribe to it because expe-
rience has taught them that man

down with the price OF the egg has
been the slogan OF the consumer Tor so
long that one has grown accustomed TO
think that-ovners Of tine reproducing

Here is glimpse at the other side or
the story given by Miss Laura b. White
more. Of Harrington, Mass, who gave up
school teaching and has made notable
success Of poultry farming.
There has been good deal said lately
regarding the cost OF eggs from the con-
sumers point of view" she told Tribune
reporter but very little regarding the
price the producer receives for them.
"One woman can handle $40 laying hens
with very little outside help. This num-
Der should lay between twenty and TWEEN

cents a dozen to carry them To market

investment and deterioration of the plant.
At normal prices one can just about DO
this because I'm the late fall and winter
months the price at wholesale is about
~ cents a dozen, while In spring and sum-
mer il falls 80 Is and % cents. making the
average ,bOut 81 cents.
This season. owing To the cut in the
winter prices. the poultry man who has
not good private market but must sell
to the commission man has done badly,
and on all sides one hears that farmers
are selling their poultry and going out OF
the business.
The most important thing for the egg
raiser. said Miss Whttemore is 10 get
good market. and in connection with this
she suggested money making scheme
that ought TO appeal to some city folk
who want TO add to their incomes.
