The News Value Of oBillvo Sunday


The Bee is receiving many compliments and
some criticisms for its handling OF the Billy"
Sunday revival meetings as a daily news feature
The compliments naturally come from those who
are in more less sympathy with the Sunday
movement while the complaints come from two
sources-those who think the space allotted to
this subject far In excess of its importance, and
those who would exclude all other newspaper
reading to give Sunday unlimited and paramount
preference.
When the question was first propounded to
The Bee as to what treatment It would accord
the Sunday campaign, the answer was that it's
news value alone would govern. But news
values. like all other values. are strictly COM
parative. The reports of the Sunday meetings
and sermons are now crowding the war and
general news. and the reason may easily be seen
in the figures OF tabernacle attendance. The
r'ost conservative estimates count approximately
10000 people having already heard Sunday
since the opening of his Omaha engagement

thirds OF them are Implications, we still have
$4,000 people sufficiently interested personally
20 go to hear him. What other one topic of
current news right now. except the war. can
command the interest of an equal number OF
men. women and children?

Impulse, Reason and Eugenios.

From the Washington headquarters OF the
American Genetic Association comes advice to

list This advice is so contrary to what has
hitherto been conceived to be the chief end OF
the genetc cult that II fairly takes ones breath.
We had been taught by those who have cham
pioned the cause Of race improvement through
better breeding that eugenics was an accurate
science. based concrete and demonstrable
facts, and had nothing whatever to do with inn
pulse. Laws for the regulation Of marriage
have been based on human experience to a GER
tain extent and those proposed have been
founded on theory that produces effect
IN man the same in the lower orders of ami
ilate creation. Therefore. mating should be a
process of fitness, determined by tests Of various
sort, to the end that ultimately physical and
MENTAL weaknesses will be entirely eliminated
and man Will stand alongside instead OF just
below the angels

Women in Mems Shoes.

The demands OF war upon the vitality and
lives Of the male population OF Europe are open
ing up for women practically every occupation
hitherto monopolized by men, Necessity pro-
vides the opportunity. A moderate estimate
places the number Of men In the various armies
at 5000, 900. At least half as many more are
engaged in providing sustenance for soldiers and
supplying implements OF destruction. All the
places vacated by the call TO arms did not re-
quire hands. The Generalization OF nor
NAL business reduced, II It did not wholly de-
stroy. the need of help. Only in the industries
directly linked with war has the demand for
help reached abnormal proportions. Into these
industries and the necessary activities of city
life women are crowding In ever increasing
numbers.
Women workers long have been factors in
the industrial life of France. Not so in Eng
land and Germany. Men dominated the indus
trial life OF both countries. but the war has shot
their domination to pieces. In both countries
women are employed as street car operators and
conductors, city firemen, mail carriers and mail
clerks. train guards station agents and traffic
officers. In many mills and factories hitherto
closed TO them, women now outnumber men
Even In munition factories women are working
beside men under the high pressure OF quadru-
pie shifts, and performing dangerous and deli
cate tasks as carefully and quickly as more ex,
perieneed men.
Some avenues Of activity now open to women
may be closed to them when peace comes The
greater number OF fields invaded must remain
