Suppose that you, madame, earned money by
hard work and the law let your worthless husband
take it from you.
Suppose that it permitted him to will all his prop
erty to others, leaving you penniless
Suppose that over the children whom you bore in
pain it gave you voice of control
Suppose that the entire management of society
was ordered to exalt men the masters and to de-
base women as their servants and that you, with
other good women revolted by the injustice of the
arrangement, had tried, time after time, by argu-
ment, petition and persuasion to induce these men,
these favored, privileged rulers to play fairly and
deal mercifully with your sex.
And suppose that, instead of receiving your ap-
peals with sympathy or even listening with cour-
tesy, they had scoffed at you and told you to quit
your fussing and go home to your babies
Would you, as woman of spirit, meekly submit,
or would you go the warpath, with the grim deter
mination at any cost to force bordering of these
injustices?
The case we have supposed is precisely the situa-
ton in which the women of England are today, I'M
derthe dominance of male toryism. 1t explains why
the suffragets resorng to the weapons of revo-
luton.
Those who condemn the tactics of militancy
ought in fairness to suggest how they would them
selves proceed under like conditions.

Emma Carus continued to score
a tremendous hit yesterday at
Pantages theater. No one can
doubt that she is one of Broad
ways favorite condolences, from
the magnetic influence she has al
ready exerted over Tacoma yaude-

little, sings a little, and talks a
little, but it's ''the clever little
way she has about her" that takes
SO contagiously. There are other

And won't know where my things are

For life is scarcely decent
When she isn't here

And the skies seem black,
And guess i won't be happy

Dentists, Too

Practically all the exhumed skulls of persons who
lived in America before the food-adulteratng, bad
and hot air breathing, tubercular white man took
possession of it reveal perfect teeth.
Today go per cent of the teeth of America are de-
fective.
What has caused the change?
Here surely, is field of inquiry ripe for the har
row. and it is good that the national dental
ISOLATION is to assess each member for fund to be
spent on looking into the of tooth decay
Preventive dentistry is the twin sister of pre-
ventive medicine and it is time the two were
travelling closer together.
You re pretty sure sooner later, to find lot of
tine teeth which stand guard against the invading
germ enemies at its very entrance, are themselves
infected by neglect and rot.
So it won't do just to tinker bit when our teeth
get so bad have to do something about them.
There is needed comprehensive studying out Of
why this teeth trouble is general and then collect
i've as well as individual application of remedy.

AS IMMORAL AS THE
OLD.TIME H00PSKIRT.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 3
There is nothing immoral In
the slit skirt, diaphanOus gown
or any other present form OF
woman's attire. Narrow skirts
and trimc figures do not
mean immortality, rs some In
sist. One of the most vicious
epochs of society was when
hoop skirts were worn.
This statement was made by
Judge Ralph S. l.atshaw when
asked by persons furthering a
campaign against extreme
styles In womcn's dress for his
opinion OF their cause.
THE women Of today" he
said, have only one idea: To
dress In a manner that appeals
to men. Well, hasn't 1t always
been such?
why women and men
should be ashamed Of the most
wonderful machine that has
ever been made and why wOm-
an should be called immOdest
II she allows any part of that
machine except her hands and
face to be seen is a question
without an answer.

considered immodest for a wo-
man to arrange her coifrure in
a manner that would show her
ears. We have advanced"
