in recent article. If the
heresy had been voiced by an
mira militant suffragist like Miss
Alice Paul, or by an iconoclast like
Mrs. Nation, one might have under
stood it and discounted it a little.
But when a notable sociologist and
psychologist like Mr.. Ellis asserts
that men are "domestically para
1tic" the charge is taken more seri
ously.
The economic parasitism of women
is q thing of which we have heard
enough; it is only of late that it has
lost it's aureole, but that the para
sitism of men, their helpless de-
pendence on their women for home
comfort, should also be stigmatized
is new departure in criticism.
Yet the habit is old enough-it
goes back to the day when Eve gave
Adam the apple instead of bidding
him go to the sidcboard and help
himself.
Hitherto this dependence and help
lessness in supplying creature needs
has been held a mark of greatness
and diademed as an indication of
male superiority-man's mind must
not be vexed by such trifles, though
it may be quite right that they

"Be Independent of Your
Women Folks"

A worthy farmer asserted proudly
that his mother had brought him
up to be independent of women
folks"-his cake and pie and pre-
serves could take rank with the most
notable production of the neighbour
ing housewives, and so we'll did his
mothers prescription against rash
marriage work that he lived in
bachelor contentment at sixty, keep

fashion.
Since women no longer need to
marry for meal ticket or an in
come, is it possible that the day may
come when men will not marry for
a home, because they can arrange
things comfortably for themselves,
without any feminine assistance?
Will that mother be held up to
opprobrium who neglects to teach
her son as well as her daughter
both economic and domestic in
dependence? Will the curricula of
the future give training in home
economics and in child psychology
to boys as we'll as girls, instead of
offering a system of education from
which one might infer that the
young men were all destined to be
cclibates?

that is a thing that should not be.

look around. What do we see. mate?
We see hundreds of men who could
have kept the home fires burning in
the L. S. A. and earned a good wage
along with the slackers and the gen.
uinc non-drafted men at any number
of good paying positions. What did
they do? They came to France and
kept on the job morning, noon and
night every day OF the week. They
kidded the browny fighters in the S.
o. 8. with movies, candies, cigarettes
and decent words.
After you have done that about 5000
hours. more or less, you begin to get
sick of 1t. ; Back in the S. o. S. the
transportation was available. and the
supplies came into the canteens. But
up at the front, when you were lucky
to get clothes and chow, it was a pref
ty tough proposition, and whatever
did come up to the Y. NJ. c. A. was
nabbed by the guys on the special de-
tails and various trains back with
division. Some of 1t did get up to the
front, but not enough to create a
panic. But that wasn't the fault of
the Y. NJ. c. A., it was the inevitable
result of a constant forward move
ment in open warfare. 1 suppose
some Of our heroes wanted to get hot
chocolate dropped on advanced out
posts by airplane. It's too bad about
those kids
Since I've been up with machine
guns I've never seen anything OF t:l:s

serves out troops, and I don't expect
to do SO either. Nor do l feel anv
