Mrs. Frederick Nathan after the lecture
Mr.. Whitlock who is soon to resign to become
minister to Belgium. appeared in the Hudson thea
ter under the arspices OF the League for Political
Education. Of which Robert Erskine Ely is direc-
tor. He talked about the type Of the city of the
time to come but not once did he refer directly or
indirectly to any part women may take In the
administration Of the future city's affairs
What do you mean by leaving women entirely
out Of III" demanded Mrs Nathan, when she
could get close enough to the speaker to attract
his attention. "Of course women will be factor
in the future city"

all about the women. Didn't say anything about
them?"

Whitlock's answer

lief that Is unique but In the fact that 1t Ia not
unique. 1t Is matter Of the deepest interest to
find In these three drawings certain Identical
conventions. The general shape of the head,
nose. and chin is the same In all OF them. The
way In which the mouth is placed Is the same In
the two which show the mouth, and what our dis
coverers speak Of as the 'ndefinable expression
OF the eye Is produced by identical lines in all
three engravings

we may mention that the Colombere drawing can

be deliberate convention with a meaning Of

Fontde-Gaume cave was made by the artist who
drew the figures Of bison and other animals on
the rock walls OF that cavern then there is some
thing curious and mysterious In the fact that the
drawings Of the wild animals are wonderfully
realistic. while the one intended TO represent a
human face is vastly inferior to the Others
We have probably not yet quite fathomed pre-
historic mans ideas and intentions in all this
work. another proof that this Colombere en-
craving cannot be intended as a realistic drawing
Is seen in the photograph and outline drawing
of the skull of the Combre Capelle man This is
generally accepted as the typical Aurignacian
skull. But by no possible arrangement of the
soft parts around that Aurignacian skull could we
produce a representation of a face resembling any
one Of the conventionalized prehistoric drawings

MEANING OF "DRY FARMING"
Principles Are Vital In Any Region Of
Small Rainfall and Where Drought
10 Even Occasional.

Dry-farming is free from mystery OF
any kind. Its principles are vital in
any region Of small rainfall, and valu.
able In any country where drought is
even occasional. Any farmer on any
soil and in any climate can increase
his yields per acre. the quality OF his
crop and his bank account by the con.
tinued practice Of this new farm
method.
"Dry-farming" does not mean farm.
ing without water. It does mean that
the farmer can grow good crops on
less water than most people think Il
needed. and that, through proper til
lage methods, he can reduce evapora-
tion and can establish q practical
storage reservoir In the soil which will
hold the rainfall until he il ready to
use 1t. BY this means drought can be
conquered or its effects reduced in any
country Of the world

Kansas and Oklahoma are the prin-
cipal Kafiir growing states. but Texas
comes in for some recognition. as do
also parts OF New Mexico and Colo
RADIO. 1t is probable that with further
selection of the present varieties KAT

the principal varieties.

With the use Of combination grinders
Kafir can be ground in the head. and
thus fed without threshing. In any
case II has to be balanced with pro
tein feed, like cottonseed. to give the
best results. In some cases Kaffir has
been hogged down with good results,
but milo. its side partner. is better for
this purpose.
Kaflr is the one crop that the farmer
In the drier parts OF the west can
plant and be assured that he can use
whether it natures or not. 1t may be
cut for forage after frost and still

known farmers to plant Kaffir for fod-
der where they had no hope Of getting
seed. and they felt they had the best
feed they could possibly grow. Many
farmers prefer Kaffir fodder to alfalfa
for horses and cows. We have known
horses to do their spring and summer
work on Kafiir fodder and come
through In fairly good condition.
Kaffir can be ground into excellent
flour for making pancakes. muffins,
doughnuts and pastry.

THE BABY'S BIRTHRIGHT

1850
The birth rate of civilized coun-
tries is declining. This has oc-
casioned great concern to states
men throughout the world. To
meet the situation, former Pres
ident Roosevelt, you will recall,
attempted to %popularize large fam
lilies. His remedy has not seemed
to most students to be the best
one. We do not need more babies,
nearly SO much as We need to save
those we have. The baby's birth
right is the right to live.
Havelock Ellis in "The Task of
Social HYGIENE" has shown that
throughout the world a high birth
rate is accompanied by a high in
FAINT death rate. On the other
hand, when the birth date declines
the death rate declines also. Ma
ture is profligate. A fish lays mil
lions of eggs for each spawn that
is Matched. Of those Matched but
an occasional infant fish reaches
maturity.
The lower a creature is in the
scale of evolution the greater is
it's number of offspring. To make
certain of perpetuating the spe-
cies Nature has made allowances
for many that may be killed off.
At the same time Nature provided
mankind with thinking brains and
the ability to overcome conditions
which are good enough for fish.
The instinct to protect the life
of ones young increases as the
species rises in the scale of crea-
ton. To man alone is given an en-
during affection for his offspring
to strengthen his instructive par
entail protection.
AS there are gradations in the
