Fixing Ewes Place in World

ii. W.-Does not the Scriptural ac-
count of woman's creation from one Of
Adams ribs imply woman's inferior!ty
and enslavement TO man?
Theologans want to make us believe
that by creating Adam first God Him
self declared man the superior of wom-
an, and that accordingly wives
should be in subsection TO their hus-
bands. Such Interpretation of the rib
story is, however, as false, as 1t does
injustice to woman. All we know is
that the Lord, after creating Adam in
his own image, found it was not good
for man to be alone, and He. therefore,
made him companion from mans
own rib. What the Lord wanted to in
dictate by creating man first. or whether
lie wanted to indicate anything at all.
is a mere matter of speculation. The
Scriptural account admits of various
interpretations, though it cannot well
be used as an argument against woman.
Thus, in Talmudical Interpretation,
we read: "lf God had wanted woman to
become mans chief He would have
taken her from mans brain; had lie in
tended her for mans slave, He would
have taken her from mans feet. God
wanted her to be mans companion and
equal, and consequently He took her
from mans side" In a similar way
interprets st. Thomas: Woman was
created from mans side, from mans
own heart. so that we may know that
she must be loved By man as his own
half, his companion and equal
Indeed, the advocates Of wOman's SUI
perority can even interpret the rib

Preserving the Buffalo

The largest herd of buffalo in the
world, is now owned by Canada. The
animals form a picturesque group as
they roam over the new national re-
serve set apart for them near VAIN
wright, Saskatchewan. Canadians rec
ognized the need Of action If the but-
falo were to be preserved, and pur-
chased practically an entire herd of 500
or 700 from Montana. The herd was
transported across the international
boundary line by train. The rounding
up of these untamed animals and their
young was 10 light task, and $50 Of
the most unruly had eventually to be
left behind. In addition, seventy-iiYee
buffalo now confined in the National
Park al Banff will be sent TO the Vain
wright reserve. Increase Of the herd
has brought the number TO nearly

The Meaning OF Camouaage

l.. L.-Wll you kindly tell me the
meaning of "camoufage" and "camou-
feur"?
Camoufage, in French, means the art
Of coucealment and deception as used
to conceal military operations from
enemy observers, also the use of pro
tectiye coloration" for the same pur-
pose. The artists, with their forces Of
sign painters, scene painters, sculptors.
mechanics and carpenters in this
branch OF service are called camou-
fleurs.
Camouhage is the answer to the all
seeing aeroplane and best protector
against the all-powerful artillery in
these days. when even the stoutest
works crush away under the hail Of
high explosive shells. When applied to
cannon the art finds expression in a
sort of specified coat of paint or a
cover Of tree limbs and brush, OF in
mounting immense dummy lannon's on
conspicuous places, with stuffed gum
ners clustering about them, to draw the
fire of the enemy. When applied to
trench work the clmouhage treatment
consists in placing tree limbs and brush
and turf and other accessories over the
positions. Buildings, bridges, all the
numerous and necessary impedlments
which go to make up the needs or vast
armies, have been lost TO the enemy
airmen by the use of camouilage. In
one case, where the French desired 10
protect railroad, an elaborate life
like scene was painted on canvass and
placed al a bend IN the railroad, facing
the enemy. Viewed at a distance from
hostile observations posts it appeared
as though the railroad run straight
ahead. whereas in reality it curved
sharply back of the screen, thus baf-
fling the enemy.

AROUND THE THEATRES

Anyhow, the story is at least 30 pei
cent authentic. If Mr.. Hitchcock can
get a theatre he will certainly name
it after himself
The regular weekly denial Of Helen
Wcctley's desertion Of the Washington
Square Players is made herewith. Mrs
Westley will not leave the Washington
Square Players, nor vice versa. Just
at present she is appearing in "Thc
Lassoo,' but she will be found at the
Comedy again when the Players begin
their season. This will not be until
next month, incidentally, "The Family
Exit" being a side venture ir which the
players will not participate as actors.
In conclusion, Helen Wesley will no.
leave the Washington Square Players.
That is to say, the Washington Square
Players will not be deserted by Helen
Westley, who will continue with the
Washington Square Players.
The week ahead has only a pair OF
productions, one Of them musical, on
It's list, but matters will pick up again
il. the week beyond. In the first place
the Broadhurst Theatre will open on
Monday, with William Fayersham's
production Of Shaw's "Misalliance. !"
On the same night there will be an.
ether Hatton comedy lombard,
Ltd at the Morosco. The next night
kobert billiard will be seen at the
Criterion in "Thc Scrap OF Paper ard
some time during the week Klaw &

measure there will be "The Family
