PSYCHOLOGIST TELLS WHY THE
WOMEN LIKE FIGHTING MEN.

BOSTON, April oo.-six hundred
women saw the Johnson-Willard fight!
Why?
Carefully nurtured, girls OF the
richest families have been known TO
marry their coachmen!
Why?
Women married to men whose one
idea and thought is money want their
freedom! The divorce courts hear
their pathetic stories at every SEES
sion.
Why?
Dr.. William Lee Howard. world.
famous psychologist and sociologist,
authority on sex matters and author
OF a score of works on sociology. was
asked these questions in his home at
WeStboro.
And in answering the questions he
throws light on the mystery OF why
Albertine Beaudoin. Holyoke woman.
posed as man for 90 years.
a EuoenIe Reason.
''Womans admiration for a fight.
ing man has a biologic cause" DR..
Howard began. 1T is natures wa-
of reproducing from the physically
fit. No real woman wants to marry
a moral or physical weakling; women
want men who can fight-that is,
nature his implanted this desire with
in them, way, way down deep into
their souls, or sub-conscious brain,
If you will.
Their nervous organism requires
excitement to keep in activity those
glands which supply the blood with
the chemical material that keeps 1t
properly balanced.
1T has only been very recently dis
covered that the thyroid glands in the
neck, one on each side of the wind
pipe, the thymus gland situated back
of the breast bone. and the two duct
less glands III the brain, known as the
pineal and the pituitary, perform this
function.
Why Prize Fights Attract.
These glands are the real stabil-
izers of the body. They control the
blood pressure and throw into the
blood stream a substance called nue.
Inns; or, in other words. they are the
real active chemical agents that keep
almost every organ in the body young,
active and healthy.
These glands are stimulated
through the nervous system. The
normal woman has her nervous or
ganism properly balanced by we'll
directed energies, or by the duties
and the care of motherhood. 1t is the
woman whose glands are not stiru-
lated that wants to see a prize fight.
THE natural excitement of the fight
stimulates through the nervous system
these glands. and the nuclins. getting
into the blood, cause healthful re-
action and a necessary self-intoxica-
ton.
Football Supplies Thrills.
"The impulse need not necessarily
lead her to a prize fight. a football
game is a more popular form of stimu-
lation for these women who require
it. And this is the explanation of
why so many thousands of women are
spectators at the big college games.
Hence her body, grows and de-
'velops along normal lines. Her skin,
hair. roundness of figure and softness
of flesh all assume and retain the
characteristics OF the well-balancea
female.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-04-20

"A short time ago there was pub.
lished an account OF a woman AL
berthe Beaudoin, who posed as man
Tor 20 years. Up to 10 years OF age
she was on the way of being a woman.
From our recent knowledge of tho
influence of the thymus gland upon
sex development. l believe my theory
IN this and ANALOGOUS cases to be cor
rect.
Through some unknown cause or
causes her thymus gland ceased its
activity. Hence the blood stream de.
rived no substances from the thymus
gland to aid in female development
result. all female development ceased
Sex Controlled In Brain.
"A mistake by the general public.
scholars, philosophers and academies
IS that sex is characterized by physi
cal appearance. This is not wholly
true. Sex character is determined
from the sex Centers in the brain.
These develop along with the other
functions belonging to sex.
When the body is suddenly de.
prived of those very elements manu-
featured in the glands to build sex
there can be no sex development in
its higher form
in this case OF Albertine Beau
dom or from seXologist's point OF
veiw. Albert Beaudoin, there were
absolutely no female impulses or in.
clinat!ons. Through circumstances OF
her life she readily adopted male at.
tire, but please don't forget this: she
was already turning into male in.
dividual
ITO say that such a person posed
as male is scientifically wrong.
There was no pose in the matter. 1t
was male in every respect except
the anatomical conditions. which in
this case have no bearing.
Why Social UnequaIs Wed.
why do carefully nutured girls
of the best families marry their
chauffeurs?
Because of a subconscious revolt
of nature. Their glands are calling
for some normal stimulation. They
live in an artificial environment, and
the men of their sets are as artificial
as the environment.
The stimulation is not experienced
by association with these men, who
are lacking in the masculine traits
which stand out in such striking con,
trast in their chauffeurs. Hence the
natural mating.
when married to a man whose one
idea and thought is money?
Because all her womanliness and
maternal instinct is suppressed by
his obsession. and there is no stimu.
lation of the thymus gland, with con.
sequent unbalanced organism

WANTS TO GO BACK
TO PENITENTIARY

Davenport, Dec. 16.-Gus Eisen-
berg, "a years old, pardoned six
months ago from Fort Madison after
having served twenty-eight years on a
murder charge, asked the local police
to send him back to the prison, I'm
'l'm lost; I don't know where to go.
All my life that was worth while has
been spent in the pen and want
to go back there" he said. Warden
Sanders was good to me, but nobody
else outside has been, and ! want to
return to my only friend"
Local authorities likely will ask the
state board Of pardons to revoke Els
enbergs pardon and send him back to
the prison. He was arrested in Sioux
City in 1885 for the alleged murder OF
woman and her two daughteIA.

Her tone was that Of one to whom 1t
mattered little what she did.
Calthorpe called his canvas "a

A slender woman, in soft mouse vel

glorious deep eyes, stood beside him
when the picture was hung. Everly,
who had advised Calthorpe to forswear
landscapes, was also present.
Mrs Calthorpe," he said, with a
grim smile, "your husband once told
me there was no depth in the human
countenance I wonder if he still holds
to that opinion"
Mrs. Calthorpe glanced shyly upward
at her husband. Calthorpe laughed
rather shamefacedly.

RAILROAD MUST
PAY JUDGMENT

Iowa Falls, Dec. 16.-After four
years of litigation during which time
the case has been heard by the Iowa
supreme court and by the United
States supreme court on appeals, the
Rock Island road will have to pay a
Judgment of $275 to Jelske Cramer, a
Wright county stock shipper, who
claimed that a shipment did not re-
ceive proper care enroute. On the
first trial, the plaintiff was given a
verdict Of $3.50, and the railroad ap.
pealed. The highest court remanded
the case for new trial, which has
just closed, and resulted in Cramer
being given verdict for $27514. The
costs far exceed the judgment.

were the first words she spoke
There's not much doubt about it,
Calthorpe said gently. you did faint"
"That was very foolish Of me-" the
girl sighed YEARLY. Then she straight
ened herself and looked about her Won
deringly. Almost unconsciously she &C
cepted the dainty bits of nourishment
that Calthorpe put into her fingers. Her
hands were slim and white. Calthorpe,
landscape painter, felt a hunger steal
over him. hunger to paint those love-
ly, expressive hands.
He drew a sharp breath and found
himself gazing in fascinated wonder at
the pitiful beauty Of the girls face. II
only he could put on canvas those lines
Of suffering, those deep, pathetic eyes
and the dropping, tired shoulders.
Eyes, I am frightfully tired of life"
she said, as if divining his mental at
titude toward her. II am unutterably
weary" She spoke not bitterly or Gym
ically. but calmly, hoplessly.
Calthorpe closed his eyes for mo-
ment. His blood was pounding through
his veins. Never before had he been the
victim Of rampant emotion such as
now gripped him.
''You see," the girl continued, u
have lost every one who was dear to
me. I saw them all snatched from me
in one CHASTITY moment. I have been
trying to work, but I seem unable to
stand the strain. You don't blame me
for not wanting to live, do you?" She
had turned wfstful, tragic eyes full
upon Calthrope while a shadow of a
smile struggled into the pallor of hel
face.
NO" Calthorpe said, and rose
quickly to his feet. II don't blame you
at all. my child" She seemed little
more than a child, as she sat gazing
wonderingly upon the comfort of his
studio He turned suddenly toward her
II want to paint your portrait. If yor

,, Calthorpe was becoming so excited
over the prospect Of putting the ex
uuisite face on canvas that uncon
sciously he moved toward his paints.
