WOULD UPLIFT CONVERSATION.

Il wish you would write an article
on Lifting the Conversation Out of
the Commonplace. said a friend
Of mine some time ago. The request
was recalled a few days ago by
conversation that was forced TO hear
at dinner party at one Of our fash
ionable hotel restaurants. IL was
a party Of FIVE men and women. The
women were beautifully gowned.
they wore rare Jewels. and their talk
consisted entirely Of the cost OF their
clothes, what they liked to eat. how
much they had paid for their jew
elry. what somebody had said. and
comparing each others teeth. 1t was
brilliant with laughter. but l can
not say ii scintillated with anything
else. There was not a new thought
or idea expressed. no new sentiment,
the entire evening.
IL made me think Of another oc-
casion where one silly. chattering.
brainless woman absorbed the con-
versation while clever. brainy men
and women were forced 10 be silent.
for they could not get a word In
edgewise
1t would be a good idea If some
modern Don Quixotic would go
through homes, restaurants. recep-
tons. any place where sO-called con
verSation is in progress. and lift the
conversation out OF the ordinary
The war spies. secret service. pre-
paredness have been a little leaven

they have 10 say. IL has been writ

Tea Table Talks
BY May De Witt Talmnge
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
QUESTION


They say there are always two
sides T. every question. but when
the question OF woman is involved
there seems to be as many sides as
there are colors in a glass prism,
and il all depends on whether you
are looking at it optimistically or
pessimistically.
Gen. Booth, the Salvation army
head, said the other day that one OF
the causes for his optimism was
found in the universally improved
position of women. Fifty years ago
woman played an inconspicuous part
in the national life. She was either
slave or a toy. Now women are
co-wOrkers with men. and the re-
finement and spirituality Of women
are gradually making them felt in
the life Of the nation. In nothing
in the whole range of my experience
do I see a more striking or more
beneficial contrast with the past
than in the position women now oc-
cupy in the mind and heart of the
world"
Woman as the Worlds Worst
Failure" was the topic discussed at
a dinner Of the Public Interest
league Of business and professional
women: the pessimistic side of the
situation. A member of the faculty
OF one Of our universities whose sub
Jet was. Personal and Natural Eff
ficiency." said he thought woman
was a failure in the matter of eff
ficiency because he believed that
man also was. Woman" ne said,
has the power to form a mans
character because ii is she who has
the first chance to mold mans mind
when it is in a plastic condition"
He said he thought that if woman
developed in efficiency man would
correspondingly develop.
An anti-suffrage debater spoke Of
woman as the Great Amateur"
Women who put all their emphasis
on their love lights" she said, ARE
akin to men who devote their lives
10 the making Of money, they have
over exaggerated their duty in life
and have become machines"
A we'll known writer in a recently
PGbAAoAAth AlAeAboNAAAN soy Az oil -
conventional because he respects
convention; woman is conventional
because she is afraid OF what may
happen if she does not obey conven-
ton"
There is neither time nor space to
show even a few OF the many colors
woman appears in these days. She
is shown in all the illogical phases
OF her whims. and in many OF the
absurdities OF her desires. Neverthe-
less, she has been emancipated in
everything but her French heels
Short skirts. free talk. suffrage, no
more tight lacing, independence OF
action. has given her her place in
the working world, and she has
more recognition IN social service.

Clothing Is Blasted
From the Bodies of
Germans In Battle

LONDON, Sept. S.-Describing the
effects of the British bombardment of
the German positions at GuNlemont the
Reuters correspondent at British head
quarters in France says:
The ground east of the village was
strewn with German dead. The corpses
in many cases were stark naked, every
stitch of clothing having been blasted
off them A very large proportion of
these bodies showed no signs of wounds,
and there is little doubt that the men
were killed by the intense conclusion.
Even in the dugouts with which the
place was warrened few men escaped
the bombardment, and those who did
said their nerves were destroyed by the
terrific poundings of the British guns"
The correspondent considers it signif-
cant that the ground won was not
bombarded by German field guns, which
indicates, he says, that the Teutons
withdrew the field artillery out of
range.
Whether this is from apprehension
that the guns might fall into British
hands or whether it is preliminary to a
general withdrawal, the writer adds,
can, of course, be only matter of spec
ulation.

SUIT FOR A MILLION
FILED BY HENRY FORD
Chicago Tribune Made De-
PENDANT for Calling Ford
an Anarchist

CHICAGO. Sept Suit for $1,000
600 was filed by Henry Ford. the De-
troit manufacturer. against the Chicago
Tribune in the United States district
court here yesterday. Mr.. Ford asks
for personal damages as compensation
for an editorial printed in the Tribune
June Is which. it is charged called
Ford an anarchist"
The bill charges that the Tribune
sought to bring the plaintiff into pub
lie hatred. contempt ridicule and imam
cial injury" by publishing the edito-
rial
The editorial. II is charged. referred
20 Mr.. Ford as Ignorant, a deluded
human being" and IAN anarchistic en-
envy to the nation which protects him
in his wealth.
The editorial also charged that en-
ployes of Mr.. Fords would lose their
positions if they went 10 the border as
members OF the national guard.
EDITORIAL ATTACKING FORD.
The editorial was based on the report
that Mr. Ford's employees would lose
their places if they went to the border
as members of the national guard. The
bill quotes the editorial as saying,
Ford is an anarchist"
Inquiry at the Henry Ford offices in
Detroit discloses the fact that en-
ployes of Ford who are members OF or
recruits in the national guard win lose
their places. No provision will be
made for anyone dependent upon them.
Their wages will stop, their families
may get along in any fashion possible.
their positions will be filled and II
they come back safely and apply for
their jobs again they will be on the
same footing as any other applicants.
This is the rule of the Ford employees
everywhere.
Information was refused as to the
number of American soldiers unfortu-
nate enough to have Henry Ford as an
employer at this time. but at the De-
troit recruiting Office it was said that
about seventy-five men will pay this
price for their services to their coun-
try"
The editorial continues:
''Mr Ford thus proves that he does
not believe in service to the nation In
the fashion a soldier must serve 1t. II
his factory weer on the southern and
not the northern border we presume he
would feel the same way. We do not
know precisely what he would do II a
Villa band decided that the Ford strong
boxes were worth opening and that ii
would be pleasant to see the Ford fac
tories burn. 1t is evident that ii is
possible for millionaires just south OF
the Canadian border to be Indifferent
to what happens jsut north of the
Mexican border.
