Woman's Propensity for Bargain Hunt
ing Explained by Scientist Who
Has Studied the Subject.

Too long has mere man ScOrned the
female bargain hunter, says the New
York Press. Too long has he smiled
indulgentIy or gently rallied the wOm-
an who INDUCES in the wild scramble
or the foot-wearying pilgrimage after
a "marked-dOwn-frOm" to some odd
figured price just under the currency
unit.
These same men have been proud
of what they termed their wander
lust" Proud have they been to re-
count to admiring youngsters how they
ran away. to sea, or took to braking
ON the railroad, or chased away to
some Pan-American opportunity for
getting rich quick.
Along comes Prof. Max Baff, bluff
and to the point as to his name, and
pronOunces that bargain hunting is
simply another form of wandeFlust-
ing. Both, he says, are due to high
blood pressure of youth (nOt the sort
of hardening arteries), and to each Is
due about the same mOdicum of pride

blood pressure at all.
The good doctor found this out by
using a sphygmometer, and to the
"sphy," as the laboratory men may
call it for short, bargain hunting and
shipping as a stoker, suffrage stump
ing and adventuring for hidden treas
ure all look just the same.
OF course, there may be something
about human beings you can't size up
by using instruments that end IN ''me-
ter" and sometimes tie laboratory de-
vices make stranger bedfellOws than
politics ever achieved. Still, Doctor
Baff's conclusions sound more human
than instrumental, and it is time for
man to come off his call-of-the-wild
perch and allow women their due for
the wild thrills, the joyous adventur-
ing, the big. gamble and the delicious
zest of hunting down bargains in their
natural lairs.
