fades into the other, so long as the
letters continue to flow through the
little mills in a steady stream with
no more than the usual number of
errors and the dove of peace rests
upon the rack where the stenograph-
ers hang their gorgeous bonnets.
Anyway, what has a club woman
got to do, with a stenographer's
wearing apparel? If the typist
chooses peekaboo waists and short
skirts it is because the club women
have worn them first. II she wears
silk hose and puts it on display it is
because she sees 1t first on some club
woman, and concludes that she has
a perfectly good excuse to go and do
likewise. Indeed, IL we may take
the freedom to say so, the stenog-
rapher often has the better excuse
of the two.
So the Syracuse ladies may as well
make up their minds that their hus-
bands are not going to wreck their
working forces by trifiing with so
serious q feminine problem as dress,
but If they are really in earnest
about the reform let them first set
the example by uniforming them

COLLEGE EXAMINATIONS

The vote of the faculty of Column
bia college in. favor of supplement-
ing the old-style examination by
psychological tests such as have
been used in the army.is interesting.
but raises several questions. Ad-
mission to college is one stage in a
long educational process-is it to
have unique treatment? Is the coll
lege ruthlessly to insist that the stu
dent who has matriculated by pass
Ing the tests prescribed shall learn
his lessons and demonstrate the fact
by passing examinations of the old
fashioned sort? If the laboratory
test is good enough for freshmen it
should serve for a sophomore and
so on up the scale.
Those who through misfortune
have had to read many doctorial dis
sertations may perhaps feel that
there is something in the theory, and
that no "Ph. d." should be granted
till the candidate had passed the
psychological tests for intelligence
as distinguished from knowledge. 1t
will be well, however, to keep some
of the old-fashioned universities, be-
cause there is reason to suspect that
not a few distinguished but peculiar
men would have had difficulty in
passing the tests. Extraordinary
qualities are not infrequently asso-
ciated with odd defects. AS Mark
Twain observed, also, wise man

General Wood and NeD Arn1u
tFrom the Philadelphia 1nquirer)

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer)
General Leonard Wood worthily
wears the rare jewel of consistency.
He insists that it is quite as impor-
tant to come to a sensible decision
regarding the future defense of this
country as 1t was before the war. He
made an address before the Kansas
Legislature the other day and the
applause and enthusiasm which
greeted his talk proved that the idea
OF preparedness is growing in the
west. That section of the country
was a long while in becoming
aroused but once it gained it's stride
IL gave a good account of itself.
General Wood says that the onlv
plan worth considering is universal
military training. This does not
mean q large standing army; on the
contrary, 1t means just the reverse.
This authority upon this most i'm
portant subject puts it in these
words:
ITO keep the smallest number of
men in uniform as q standing army,
but to have the largest number thor
oughly trained to be ready when the
country calls is the plan. The pre-
diction that there will be no war is
90 oiu 90 tiiiiC, UuI war ID ike a pes
thence. 1t comes unawares and the
most democratic method for a ma
tton like ours it to be prepared. You
cannot massage away by fine rhe-
toric the passions Of nations whose
methods and morals are entirely
different from our own"
General Woods plan is to train
young men for six months. The 10th
Division, he asserts, was brought to
perfection in four months. Incl
dentally, the idea of combining in
dustrial and military training is
being tried at Camp Funston. But
the main thing is not to forget. in
our hour of victory, that we were
unprepared when we were forced to
go into the war, and that it is al
ways possible for such a condition
to occur in the future. When we
consider what has happened in the
world in the last few years we are
more willing than ever to. admit that
anything is possible.
Talk of preparedness, after war,
may sound futile and unnecessary,
but General Wood knows what he Is
talking about, and he deserves
credit for sticking to the subject
with such bulldog tenacity.

Unborn Gentlemen, All of Them''

we would venture the suggestion that
IL the deeds of our men in France
are to be immortalized on canvas by
the Detailles and de Nepvilles of the
War with the Hun, the record
would hardly be complete were this
episode omitted.
Such Unborn gentlemen" con-
tinues the Marquise, "all of them,
is what they are. Remembering their
mothers and sisters, they respect all
women; help the mothers, fight with
the fathers, and will always extend
loyal hand to the children May
they long remain with u.s.
From all parts of France have
come tributes like this. They have
fallen as thick as the flowers show
cred on our passing regiment by the
hands of women, little children, and
all the weaker, more helpless ones
left in wars brutal wake. Unborn
gentlemen, all of them!" Surely that
is the cap sheaf of all the laurels
our splendid fellows have won! Men
they proved themselves in every or
deal that tried mems souls. And
gentle they proved themselves in
all their contact with those towards
whom courteous respect and helping
kindliness are rights no real man
ever yet has failed to honor.
They have defined the much
abused word gentleman" in
deeds. not words. They have illumi-
mated that old shop-worn definition
with moving pictures which have
made 1t blaze with a new and q liv-
ing light. And the, picture of that
frail. fiustered, little old granny"
carried like child by one of our
khaki clad huskies across that ave.
nue. of mud and dizzly skidding autos
is not the least heart-stirring of the
exhibits, by good deal.
or a certainty, every American
man that is man-every 100-per
cent American man-will tingle
with pride to his finger tips when he
reads of deeds like these as much as
he will when he reads of the dare
devil fighting fury of the same men
when they hurled themselves against
the Unspeakable Beast who wrought
all the wreck and ruin. His eyes,
that blaze with pride in the warrior,
may be mistily dim with the same
emotion that is in the cherry, light
hearted, bright-faced Bayard IN
khaki carrying the burdens of the
weak and helpless. romping with
iaughlns chlldren, >sharing his food
and scanty luXuries with the hungry
and heartsick victims of foul wrong.
No posing. No entimentalizing. All

REFORMING THE TYPIST

THE city of Syracuse is all "het
] up" over the proposal of the
= Council of Women's Clubs that
girls working in public places be uni
formed and that typists and stenog-
raphers be required to wear less
transparent waists.
The women's clubs declare that
the working girls should be desig-
mated by suits cut along simple
lines, stenographers, they say, wear
waists cut too low and skirts too
short, and that silk stockings are abb
solutely unnecessary for typists.
They suggest that employers dis
miss young women who appear at
work IN silk hose.
May be there is some ground for
the complaint, but where is the mere
male employer courageous enough
to attempt the reform. Imagine the
"boss" glaring at Imogene, as she
powders her nose and tucks UP
her back hair preparatory to tack
ling the morning mail, saying: I'm
ogene, I have observed with growing
displeasure the way in which you
are conserving dress materials by
the shortening of your costume al
either end, and unless you can find
an old collar to hang around the top
and ruffie to tack on below, / fear
much that we shall have to part
company. And now, may I ask If
you are wearing silk stockings this

rest room and change 'em for cot

Results would differ, of course, with
the temper of the individual fail
one, but this much is certain, that
by the end of the day the "old man
would be batting out his own letters
painfully with one finger or writing
them longhand with a fountain pen.
No, dear ladies. permit us to speak
as one with some experience, and to
venture the prediction that no male
employer is going to trifie that way
with the dress. or undress, of his
employees. There is point past

A PARAMOUNT ISSUE
IFrom the Philadelphia Press.


Governor Sproul has acted
promptly in the matter of Postmas-
ter Generad Burleson's increased
telephone charges. The Public Serv-
ice Commission rightly construed
this Federal action as an invasion
of its authority and the reserved
right of the state to handle all such
matters that lie wholly within its
boundaries. Governor Sproul ap-
proves the commissions stand and
the whole power of the state will
be used in legal resistance OF Fed
eral interference with a purely state
prerogative.
We may get cheaper telephone
rates as a result but the question OF
authority is the really vital issue in
the case. The war is over, at least
President Wilson has said so. Are
the war powers which Congress SO
freely bestowed upon the President
to continue to be operative in peace?
n they can, then 1t is clear that
silent revolution has taken place in
our form of government.
It is time to find out just where
the states stand and what measures
of self-determination is left to them
The issue raised by shrdulshrdlu
under the Wilson Administration.

Governor Sproul will bring the ques-
tion before the United States Su-
nreme Court at the suit of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania. The is-
sue Is one of paramount importance

A .DISGRACEFUL SHACK

lD9 STOKES. speaking at the
Chamber of Commerce lunch.
con yesterday. referred to Har.
risburg's so-called sanitary hos
pital" as a "pesthouse" and dis.
graceful shack" and nobody in Har.
risburg took offense. The definition
might be criticised for its mildness
certainly the doctor did not exag.
gerate. The shack" is more than o
disgrace; 1t is a crime. 1t is doubt
full If any court in the land would
force q patient to accept treatmen,
there. The name sanitary hos
pital" is a misnomer. 1t should be
'insanitary hospital"
DIR. Stokes offered the people OF
the city who are interested in the
building OF model, modern hospital
for contagious disease patients much
good advice and many suggestions
cleaned from the inspection and
study of similar institutions the
country over. And he warned them
to keep its management free from
politics. 1t indeed would be disas-
trous to mix politics with the con-
duct of such a hospital as is pro-
posed. But We need not fear that
here. This city has for the most
part divorced it's public improve
ments and public service institutions
from political control. Or, il there
has been politics in their conduct 1t
has been of kind that has not op-
Grated to the disadvantage of the
people.
That we need a contagious disease
hospital goes without saying. But
in planning for its erection those
who have the movement in charge
should think well of the location. It
should be so. placed as to be within
easy reach of the heart of the CITY
and, the building of a large general
hospital in conjunction Herewith or
nearby should be considered.
The day is past when a contaRious
disease hospital is feared by per-
sons residing nearby. The old idea
that germs float about In the air
near such places has been disproved
ana 1t Is now known that there is
no danger to the public from such
places, especially where every safe
guard is thrown about the institu-
tion 10 prevent contagion. There will
De no objection on that score, but,
nevertheless, the matter of site will
Dc one OF the big problems that will
have to be solved.
