Careless Helmsman
Led Turk to Fire on Boat
BY Associated Press

Washington, D.. c., Nov. 27.-The
Turkish commander of the forts at
smyrna lays all responsibility for the
firing upon the cruiser Tennessee's
launch "to the indifference of the
helmsman of the launch" who, il is
said, did not heed the warnings of the
presence of mines.
Secretary Bryan to-day issued a sup
Elemental statement on the Tennessee
incident based upon the latest com
munication from the Turkish Minister
of War to Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople.
THE War Minister'S report" said
the statement, States that he ascer-
tanned from the commander of SMYRNA
that two blank shots of warning were
first fired and that the sentinel, after
waiting two minutes. was obliged to
fire the third shot in another direction
from that of the launch, which latter
shot was merely to prevent the helms
man of the launch from holding his
course. which would lead directly on to
the mines at the entrance of the port.
and to rescue him from a very certain
danger. The commander of Smyrna
expresses very great regret that such
an obligation was presented to the
sentinel of the port which he at
tributes to the indifference of the
helmsman of the launch"
Secretary Bryan said this latest re-
port closes the incident.

PROPERTY APPEALS
City Commissioners Put in Whole
Day as Board of Tax
Revision

City Council heard at first hand to-
day the complaints of property own
ers who were not satisfied with the as
sessments for the coming year when
the commissioners organized and sat
as the board of tax revision and ap-
peals.
More than thirty appeals were filed,
chief of which were the objections
raised by the Pennsylvania and the
Cumberland Valley railroad relative
to the changes that have been made
In the Second ward incident to the
construction of the Front and Sec
ond street subways and the erection
of the proposed warehouses.
Until noon the commissioners sat in
the city clerks office and then visited
the subway neighborhood to see per-
sonally just what has been done
what is to be done, and
to determine how the changes will af-
feet the city valuations. At 4 o'clock
the board met again to consider the
appeals.
Among those who were not satisfied
was a well-known Market street
building contractor who said that a
row of houses he has just erected are
not yet finished and that the property
in question should therefore be given
the benefit of last years assessment
instead of the 1915 levy. William

Company declared that many of the
properties which had been taxed
should be exempt because these are

stations. These include two on South

WOMEN, HENS AND INTELLECT
Dorothy Dix Explains Why the Gener Sex Tries Be Silly

a great deal of surprise is expressed
at the foolish attitude and conversa-
ton of women, and the fact that so
many of them seem to possess the
weak and hysterical intellect Of a hen.
The question is often asked: why
Is this?"
The real and truly answer is Man.
Women act silly because THAI is the
way that men prefer them to act.
In reality there are few women as
great fools as they appear to be- In
proof of this note that they nave
sized up man and know that it is fine
clothes, and automobiles and theater
tickets, and soft living, to appear TO
have nothing on theih' minds but their
latest batch of false hair. Wherefore
they conceal their gray matter. and
act up to the masculine ideal of fem
inine idfocy that men admire.
1t may surprise mem to learn that
one OF the chief aXioms OF conduct
that careful mother inculcates into
her daughter is that il she has brains
she must hide them from men as care
fully as she would a hump on her
back. and that the test of a wonran's
clevernessS consists in not letting men
find out how clever she is.
1t is on ty after a woman is so old
that she h as abandoned hope of mas
culine admiration that she dares to
throw off her disguise and appear
before inert as ratlonal lhlellBenC
human beilag capable of thinking q
few thoughts of her own.
OF cou1se men will deny that they
prefer stupid women TO bright women.
They may even go so far as to de-
clare that they prefer intellectual wo-
men, but a mans liking for the So
ciety of a. clever woman is like his
taste for caviar. ...
As m ere matter of history. men
have always discouraged intelligence
in women. 1t has taken a fight of

centuries for women TO even get a
right TO obtain a good education. Men
have not only thrown every possible
obstacle in the way of women de-

given them, but they have made the
woman who took an interest in serious
pursuits. and who INDUCED in serious
discussions Of serious topics, ridicu-
lous by poking fun at her.
Such women were called blue

of what man most abhorred in wo-
mankind. Such woman was summed
by men as if she had been pariah.
No matter how pretty and attractive.
she was. nor what her family position
she had no beauN, no attention,
no opportunity TO marry. 1t was
actually a greater blight upon girl
to accuse her of being strong minded
than for her to be the heroine of a
scandal.
What wonder. then. that women
have cultivated idiocy instead of in
telligence, seeing that the sillier a

frivolous subjects, seeing that it was
only when they chartered like chill
dren that men would listen to them?
And this is still true. Men, as a
sex, don't want women to be clever.
they don't admire clever women, and
they won't have anything to do with
clever woman if they can help it.
Every girl who takes u college educa-
ton knows that thereby she is alb
solutely relinquishing all chances of
ever being a belle and diminishing
her chances of marrying by half.
A hostess who has a girl visitor
would no more think of saying to the
young men that she invited to see the
girl that "Maude is so intelligent She
took an A. NJ. at Vassar and a Phi. ID.

must come to see Maude because she

She said now that wild horses
couldn't drag the average young man
to call on girl who was likely to
talk OF him about some political or
sociological topic instead of the
latest musical comedy, or what per-
fectly grand soutie they had at some
fashionable restaurant.
This masculine prejudice against
brains in a woman's head extends
even in to the marriage relationship
where, heaven knows, there is need
of real intelligence if anywhere on
earth. Yet while a man respects his
wife for being able to keep up her end
of the line, and administer her house
hold affairs with Judgment, there isn't
a married woman who is not perfect
ly aware that the times when her hrs
band really loves her the best are
those in which she acts like an utter
and complete goose.
One of the most brilliant men l
know, in speaking of a very brilliant
woman, said to me once:
She is the cleverest woman l have
ever met, and one of the biggest and
the noblest-but not for me! The kind
of woman ! like is the one who has
not about as much sense as a canary
bird and who has never heard of any
thing that happened farther off than
the next block"
That is the general masculine ideal.
Here and there is an exception of
course; but the great majority OF men
are so welded to the feminine fool
theory that women find il eXpedient
to cultivate Stiffness instead of intelli-
gence, and to appear far more idiotic
than they are.

ALONG FRONT STEPS
Hundreds of Folk Take After
Dinner Promenade on
the River Wall

Sucker Brothers Construction Com
pany completed the last strip of side
walk along the Front Steps of Har-
risburg" in the southern section of the
city yesterday and hundreds of peo-
pie thoroughly enjoyed the fine wealth
er in a promenade from the Market
street bridge southwark. Hundreds
more watched the building of the new
piers for the big railroad bridge across
the Susquehanna river at Mulberry
street and walked along the wall to
Maclay street.
While much of the rough grading
OF the parks and the river slope south
OF Market street has been finished,
there is still great deal TO be done
and when the material from the Sec
ond street subway is available the
work Will be rushed.
Much Grading Yet TO BE Done
Along the Harris Park frontage be-
tween Mulberry and Paxton streets,
the entire slope and space between the
base of the slope and the concrete wall
must be graded. There is also a con-
siderable stretch south of the Reading
Railroad bridge which must be graded
and put in shape for planting. 1t is
necessary also to treat the roadway at
Paxton street leading from the river,
in some permanent way to prevent
the unsightly conditions now existing.
The Market Street Wharf
Mention was made by the Telegraph
the other day of a plan being worked
out for a more attractive finish of the
wall and wharf at Market street.
Along the stretch of slope and the
space between the slope and the walk
Between the Mulberry and Market
street bridges considerable grading is
necessary, which will be done without
delay.
City Commissioner Taylor has a
small force now busy on the depressed
or sunken walk and the grading of the
slope south of Maclay.
