WHO'S FIRST FEMINIST7
WHY EVE, OF COURSE
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Traces
the Cult Back to Gar
den Of Eden.

Ancient sidelishts on the feminist
movement were explained yesterday
afternoon by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
for the bensat Of members Of the In
stitute Of Arts and Sciences OF Columbia
University.
To get the proper angle Of judgment.
Or. Shaw pointed out. It Is necessary to
go back to the Garden Of Eden. It
seemed = long way to 70. but the
scholars in her audience let her lead
wherever she would.
Judging from the manner In which
most people speak Of feminism," she
said. one would believe II had its origin
In the last few years. In fact. 1t really
had Its beginning In the Garden Of Eden,
and Eve. the first feminist. tool the irst
step toward humanism. the step which
was to distinguish the human from
other creatures assembled In that beau.
tful and peaceful place.
I'm ~partaking Of the tree OF knowledge
she placed a barrier forever between the
upright human and all other animal life.
This was the beginning Of feminism. and
although It has been overcome. retarded
and sidetracked times through the
sex ~degeneracy of the female. neverthe-
less there has been ever present with
women this aspiration"
DR.. Shaw declared that the feminist
movement has suffered because 1t has
been confused with sex license. She con-
tinued
"All women will not approach and ac-
cept the duties OF citizenship In the same
spirit. There will be the o%ver-aggres-
sive and the sex dependent groups but
between these will be the great body of
women who will seek to serve their
country a citizens. recognizing their
obligations and duties and accepting
them. and in the end the human and no,
sex qualities will predominate."

CRIPPLED DUCK IN COURT
Judge Finds Bird Stunning Self in Win dow and Turns 1t Over to the
 Game Warden.

Oshkosh. Wis.-When Municipal Judge A. H. Goss entered his court room one morning recently he was surprised to find duck seated near an open window calmly summing itself. How the duck came to be there the judge was unable to learn, but he acted on the assumption that it was seeking protection of the law.
 While the judge is not familiar with the jargon of ducks. he decided to investigate. He found that the bird was a cripple, being minus one leg.
 Failing to elicit any information from the duck as to it's excuse for invading the courtroom, the judge de- cided that he was the victim of some practical joker.
 The bird was turned over to the game warden, with orders to see that it was properly protected in the fu- ture.
