Standardization Of Brains.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-"Standard-
ization OF Brains; Are Women Infe-
rior Mentally to Menu" is the title of
a paper by Rose Alexander Bowers,
M. D., formerly assistant physician in
the Government Hospital in Washing
ton, in the current number of The
New York Medical Journal. In its
course, Dr. AlexanderBowe writes:
Several questions might be
raised: First, why woman has not
shown as much progress as man,
since she has been living as long;
second if woman's intellect compared
favorably with mans, why has she
not subjugated him in lieu of being
subjugated? To the first my answer
Is that man by nature is aggressively
active, while woman is only passively
active; yet it is possible for her to be
quite as active in her passiveness as
for the man to be positive in his ag-
gressiveness. He has forged ahead
however, unhampered by woman's
competition, appropriating unto him
self all available educational institu-
tons with their heavy endowments
our moneyed women whose long suit
has been the higher education of men
Her Privileges Limited.
Considering woman's Intellectual
privations, her knowledge is indeed far
beyond her proportional educational
privileges, when one regards the few
unendowed, sparsely located women's
colleges or coeducational universities
which are as a rule universal for men
only.
1.-THE answer to the second question
is just as lucid as the first. Up to
the present time woman has not been
the maker of laws, but the max er of
man, which calling necessarily de-
manded the greater portion of her
time, vitality and ambition.
For physiological reasons, mater
nity imposes cessation from extra
mural engagements, which interval is
grievously felt upon her return to the
field of action again handicapped by
the offspring which demands her un-
divided attention and multiplies her
burdens without compensation for her
labor or espite for her toll.
Woman Is Atlas of Race.
"Snce woman is the Atlas of the
human race it must be concurred IN
by all that she should, for improved
eugenics, be the potential factor In
initiating, -nurturing, maintaining and
perpetuatng a productivity of the
highest mental and moral character
While this sacred duty and privileged
obligation is reposed with her, how
much more successfully could she dis
charge her manifold duties as moth
or, citizen and progenitor of the race
II provided with the proper equip
mcnt which would include the right
10 share with the father the same in
tcllectual schools and information bu-
reaus which have been for genera
tons selfishly and unrighteously
treasured as sources for privileged
know ledge by the stronger sex.
mo race, sex or creed has cor
ner on the divine right of thinking
as our governns ntal constitution ha:
specifically stated that all are created
equal yet woman's capabilities are
underestimate and legislated against
for reasons best known to the sterne'
sex"

Tampa Ladies
Pleased With Lakeland's
Entertainment

The Tampa delegates and visitors
at the convention of the State Fed
Grafton of Woman's Clubs, held last
week in Lakeland, have returned
home, equally enthusiastic over the
hospitality of Lakeland and the sue
cess of the Federation meeting. The
hostess club, assisted by many OF the
residents of Lakeland, did every
thing possible to contribute towards
the social success of this event, and
every minute that was not filled
with business, was devoted to enter
tanning, and to bringing the club
women from all parts of the State
in closer touch with one another.
Mrs. Ligat, president of the Wom-
ans Club, said, in speaking of the
convention, "The Lakeland people
were most hospitable, and their en-
tertainments charming. think this

MEX TOMORROW

The Colonial Restaurant is being
moved today into its handsome new
quarters in the Kibler Annex, the
management having leased the room
next to the hotel proper, where to-
morrow at noon the restaurant will
be formally opened to the public
with a splendid dinner, served be-
tween the hours of ~ and 2. Today
and up until noon tomorrow no
meals will be served by the Colonial
as the work of moving prevents such
an undertaking.
In it's handsome new quarters,
which have been splendidly fitted
up, the Colonial will be better able
than ever to serve the public. A
town is judged many times by the
service the public gets at Its hotels
and restaurants, and travellers have
spread the fame of the Colonial far
and wide. for it is really a restaur-
ant of which any city might be
proud. Mr.. and Mrs. Warren give
the business their personal attention
and have built up large patronage.
Their many friends and patrons will
no doubt take pleasure in dining
with them on the occasion Of their
opening dinner tomorrow, and in
their enlarged quarters we predict
for them continued success and pos
rerity.

OPENING GUNOF
 CITY CAMPAIGN Harry Jones Opens His Fight to Succeed
 Weatherly

The race for the office of city commits sioner to succeed James Weatherly was officially launched yesterday.
 Harry Jones, we'll known citizen and for mer alderman. was seen on the streets yesterday passing campaign cards to his friends in the interest of his candidacy to succeed MT. Weathery. MT. Jones feels confident, he says of being an easy win ner. Dr. R. r. Lovelady, president of the county board of revenue, is also expected to be a candidate. MT. Weatherly is a candidate to succeed himself, and has been talking over the campaign with friends for some little time The friends of Mr. Weatherly state that with his rec ord as commissioner for the past few years as a basis of his campaign he will easily be reelected. With MT Weatherly, Dr. Lovelady and MT. Jones in three cornered race, at least an interesting con- test is being expected and it probably will be in full sway by a couple of months. The election is in September and the new commissioner will begin his term in No vember.
 H. Scudder Ryall, secretary of the com mission, and for many years connected with the municipal government, according to reports, is being groomed for the com mission race next year. Mir. Ryall has a large following of friends and is very popular. As yet reports do not mention who will be probable candidates against him.
