Women Win High Hcnors.

Once more women have triumphed
at the Royal academy. For the sec
ond time in three years the gold medal
has been won by a female student.
while o. the fourteen prizes offered
no less than ten have been carried
of by women. In presenting these
and congratulatlng Miss Margaret Will
liams on her brilliant achievement the
president OF the Royal academy paid
high tribute TO the perseverance and
the talent of women artists: but again
we ask. why is 1t not recognized by
the Royal Academy OF Arts In the OBJ
vious way7 In every way women
show their fitness to compete with
men for the honor OF admission to as
sociateship and to election among the
forty. yet still they stand without the
gate.-Lady's Pictorial

Womanliness.

Perhaps it would not be so easy TO
lose "womanliness' as some people
seem afraid 1t would be. Perhaps all
the powwow about becoming desexed
is superfluous. Weininger calls atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
people who are anatomically inen and
psychically women, there is no such
thing as person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How
ever masculine her appearance, a
woman's psychic qualities remain dis
tinctively feminine. At least, Mr.
Weininger says so.

Never once. sir. He told the

memories of shame and defeat. Then
from the smoke OF these lost battles
emerged the lonely figure OF the child
as he had seen him that June night.
His ponderous arm stiffened where 1t

ABOUT SOME OF THE WOE
We do not pretend to know just
why it is that the work of the
United Charities has failed so sig
nally in certain cases.
But perhaps figures given by
Eugene T.. Lies, superintendent
of the Chicago United Charities
to Henry Neil, father of the
mothers pension law, in some de-
gree explain such failures.
The figures were supplied by
Lies from his own records. They
ought not to be questioned. The
United Charities is long on fig
ureS.
Lies took the year 1911 as to
demonstrate the great work done
by his organization.
He said that in that year the
United Charities received $780,
600, all of which it spent, $4,000
being expended on the organiza-
tons own administration, and
$4,000 for actual relief work.
This constitutes an admission
from the superintendent of the
United Charities that that organ
ization spends more on its own
administrdtion-salaries of its Of
icers and the like-than it does in
actually helping the needy.
But Lies supplied more figures,
which are still more illustrative.
He said that during the year
1911, the United Charities looked
after 1900 families with the
$4,000 spent for relief work,
and that these families averaged

entire year.
Obviously there is something
wrong here. Obviously one can
not help anyone so. destitute as to
need charity by spending $1.35
on him or her during the course
of a year. 1t is impossible.
Neil himself, who recently
visited President-elect Woodrow
Wilson and explained to him the
mothers pension plan, is consid-
cred an enemy by the United
Charities. He explains this him
self.

RiChelieu's Head

TT was 46 years ago that the head

That head. during those twenty
years. from 1922 to 1912, had nego-
