Chivalry Is Not Dead, as
Many Would Have Us
Relieve.

Talk about your chivalry of the
past, when father left all of
his money to his sons, when a
husband didn't hesitate to strip
his wife of every cent she pos
sessed on her wedding day, and
when brothers thought it all
right to take everything and
leave the sisters nothing! Talk
about your chivalry of the past,
when women were denied an edu-
cation, and a right to exercise
the talents that nature had given
them, when they were prevented
from even going out into the
world and making an honest liv-
ing!
But the chivalry of to-day
makes ii safe for woman to go
alone from one end of the world
to another because every man is
her protector. The chivalry of
to-day secures woman's own
property to her. The chivalry of
day gives her a chance to fol-
low any occupation she desires,
and to make just as good in it as
a man could. The chivalry of to-
day in some places-and it soon
will everywhere-even gives
women an equal right with men
in government
And believe me, brethren and
sisters, picking up handker-
chiefs. and even street car seats,
are mighty poor substitute for
property laws and the right to
make an honest living.
Another way and very inter-
esting one, and a most important
one, in which the new chivalry of
men is expressing itself is the
masculine attitude toward wom-
an and the marriage proposition.
In the old gallant days" which
so many people mourn, man
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-28
By DOROTHY DIX

II VERY now and then some
Ancient Mariner, or An
cient Marines, rises up
and ascends to the Wailing Place,
and beats upon his or her breast,
and cries out that there is no
more gallantry among men, and
that chivalry is dead.
These prophets of woe base
their melancholy prognostica-
tions upon the fact that men are
not as glib at paying women
flowery compliments as they used
to be. nor so supple about jump
ing to pick up a handkerchief
when a lady drops it. and that
when a tired man gets a seat in
street car he's mighty apt to let
husky, able bodied woman stand.
Therefore, the people who OBJ
serve these small fry phenomena
affirm that chivalry is dead, and
if they happen to be anti-suf-
fragists they go a step farther
and assert that they know who
killed Cock Robin. 1t was the
women themselves, and they did
it by going into business and
wanting rights.
1t always makes me mad,
through and through. to hear
anybody claim that chivalry is
dead. On the contrary, assert
that for the first time in the his
tory of humanity, chivalry has
been born into the world, and
that the modern, commonplace,
tweed-suite business man could
give Sir Launcelot, and Sir Gal
ahad, and all the other rafting
tin-pan Knights of the Table
Round points on a real chivalry
so big and fine that they never
ever dreamed of it, much less
practiced it.
Talk about your chivalry of
the past, when it wasn't safe for
a woman to put her foot outside
of her own door without some
body going along to protect her!
Talk about your chivalry of the
past. when women were nothing
but slaves of their men folks!

Why a Needle VIII
Float on Water
BY Edgar Lucien Larkin.

X. he surface tension of liquids

n -"ETptdip the philosophy Of
y. he surface tension of liquids
in connection 1oith the tlotation
Of the needle"
"A steel needle laid carefully
on a still water surface will float,
although the weight of steel or
iron is greater than that of an
equal volume of water.
Molecules of liquids cohere, but
with force far less than in SOL
ids or viscid substances. But the
thin needle of metal gently placed
horizontally on water has not
quite weight enough to break the
surface tension-that is, molecu-
lar attraction-of the water below
it.
Attraction of molecules is
force hat eXerts great influence
in nature. Thus this force draws
particles of water in fogs into
drops of water which are heavy
enough to fall as rain. Dew is a
formation of minute particles of
water into drops at rest on sur
faces.
The molecular attraction of the
heavy liquid-merCury-is in
tense. else this heavy liquid could
not be drawn by it into spheres
or drops Melted lead forms into
minute globes when let fall in
high shot towers.
There is a great difference in
the intensity of molecular attrac-
ton. as may be observed in al
cohol gasoline, sulphuric ether
and similar limpid liquids. and oil,
syrup, glycerine and other viscous
liquids.
Soap bubbles could not be blown
in alcohol or benzine. but they
form readily in water And the
molecules in the thin films really
attract with some force, else the
bubbles would burst before they
become so large. The most elab-
crate mathematics is required to
handle molecular forces, fit only
for technical journals.

Their Acts Are the Very
Highest Proof of True
ChivalrY.

consider this the highest pos
sible proof of true gallantry and
of real chivalry, for these men
protected the girls against them
selves, and they sacrificed their
own selfish pleasure for the good
of women. When a man has
reached the place where he won't
let girl waste the sweetness and
fragrance of her youth on him
when he knows he can make no
adequate return for it, and when
he refuses to marry unless he
knows he can make his wife hap
by, we have got a modern article
of knighthood in flower that backs
the old brand off the board.

Twain said once concerning a
premature obituary of himself

considered that he had a perfect
right oNlove and ride away. If
he enjoyed Woman's society he
had no hesitation in monopoliz-
ing as much of it as he cared to,
even if he knew that his atten-
tions were without intention, and
that he was never going to let his
philandering take him so far as
the altar.
1t was nothing to him that he
let a girl waste her youth and
beauty on him, or that he, who
never intended to ask her to
marry him, kept away other men
who would have been glad to
have married her, or that he let
her fill her heart so full with love
for him that there would never be
room in it for affection for some
honest man.
Men Are More Considerate
of Women Now Than
Ill IllS EdSC.
That was the way the chivaI-
rous man of the past looked at
the tender subject, and all of US
know a dozen women who were
the victims of this selfish and
heartless cruelty. How different
ly the man of to-day regards the
matter is attested by hundreds OF
letters that come to me from
girls to whom this new chivalry
is SO unexpected and novel that
they are bewildered by it.
In these letters a girl will
write that she doesn't know what
to think of the conduct of a GER
tain man-that she knows he
likes her, and enjoys her society,
but that he has frankly told her
that he does not want to marry
her or for some reason that he
can not marry her. and that she
must not let him keep her from
marrying somebody else if she
wants to.
One man told girl that ne
would never marry anybody be-
cause there was insanity in his
family. Another told a girl THAI
he was too poor to marry, and
that she must not think of watt
ing for him, because it would be
years and years before he could
hope to support a wife in decent
comfort, and that he would never
marry any woman and drag her
down to poverty.
Still another man told a girl
that he could never marry as long
as his mother lived because he
could never leave her-she had
made the most heroic sacrifices
for him in his childhood-but that
she was of so eccentric and dis
agreeable a disposition that it
would be martyrdom for any
young woman to have to live with
her.
Each of these men urged the
girl he liked, or perhaps loved,
to put him out of her thought,
and TO marry some more fortu-
nately situated swain while the
sun of her youth and beauty
shone
