recalls as why ] Am an Atheist"
Why Women Dress So.

New York World: From Boston,
famed and ancient home Of east
winds and theories. comes the lady
who informs gathering OF noted
women physicians from many lands
that women dress for men," Not,
DR.. Edith Hale Swift explains, as a
sex lure" but as a class appeal. Man
has dispensed with silks and laces
in his own attire: his wife is his
shop window" She Shows OFF his
success"
Since financial success is the fate
Of few, this theory fails to explain
the many women who dress as each
wind Of fashion blows; who just now,
for instance, are mincing along on
shoes with cripplingly high heels and
complaining that they can find no
other. when they commonly have not
tried. But do not blame the men!
Poor, ignorant creatures. what do
they know about it?
A lawyer advising woman plain
tiff who is to appear before a jury OF
men will tell her. II mourning is un-
called for, to wear dark blue, cut
plainly, with white thingumbobs at
neck and wrist, but not too much.
That is as definite as he can be. DR..
Swift seems to shift her own theory
when she says, 1--WE wear flimsy ma
terials because it is to the interest
of the merchant to sell us something
perishable."
In the fateful decision why women
dress so-whether because wives are
shop windows or women easy marks
for flimsy goods-man in the mass
must somehow be at fault, though the
ignorance and woeful taste of man
the individual is scornfully and no
doubt justly derided.

A Governor With a spine.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: How.
ever wrong the Boston police COM
missioner might have been, as Gov
ernor Coolidge points out, in dis
missing the policemen who joined
the union in disobedience of orders,
there was no justification for the far
greater wrong of the strike, resulting
as it did in mob rule and bloodshed.
The governor of Massachusetts will
have the support of the American
people in the firm stand he has taken
against policy which would palliate
treason and find excuses for traitors.
The governor has spine.

Chairman Good, of the house appropriations

by the federal department OF commerce that !, M

way of effecting this economy an appropriation
of twenty-five thousand dollars was made by

research into dogish and cans the canner1es
were advised of the proper method and turned
out a large product of canned doghsh
The unexpected happened. Whether the war

some reason these cans began to explode Can

LET THE SUNSHINE IN.

Cedar Rapids Republican: We beg
of you all to make the most of this
fall weather. There Is health and
strength in it. Get all of It you can
into your systems. into your blood
and into your thoughts. 1t will do
you good, and when you have been
SO saturated you will be able to do
your fellow men and your communi-
ties and even your country more
good.
We are in need Of more men and
women of health, not merely of body,
but of mind, especially of mind. The
world war and other things have
slightly deranged the mental ma
chinery of a great many, both men
and women, but the men worst of
all. They are thinking wildly, loose
ly, extravagantly and rney are no
longer able to apply themselves to
the ordinary things of this life which
must still continue to make up the
chief activities OF the world. Every
one is figuring on a short cut across
lots, SO far as work is concerned and
over the houses, so far as riches are
concerned. The average man thinks
he has the worst Of IL and he enyies
his neighbor, or the man far away.
It's an old affliction, the burden was
laid on Adam and Eve wnen they
were told that they must live in the
sweat of their faces.
But get out into the sunshine, let
it soak in and saturate you and re-
new you 1t is the balm OF Gilead
and it is what Ponce de Leon sought
for in vain. When you have been
baptized in the autumn suns you will
feel great deal better through all
of the winter. We cannot advise you
too strongly to go hunting-where
there is nothing to hunt-and fishing
and nutting and gathering plums. If
there are any left in the wild woods,
or Just to loaf and to invite your soul
to the feasts of better things which
God and nature have spread over the
land

RIOT INSURANCE.

Insurance to the amount of one hundred mil
lion dollars has been taken out IN and around
Pittsburgh against losses from riot and civil
commotion growing out of the steel strike we
consider our government the best IN some re
spects to be found on earth, yet what a crude
experiment in governing 1t is when the entlre
nation of one hundred million people looks on
helplessly while a group of workers 6eglns
bloodv struggle in which it is reasonable to ex-
nect they NAV destroy one hundred million dol
lars worth of property belonging to outsiders
innocent of all wrong! Can it be that this is
the best that great, intelligent people can do
in the way of governing themselves If so, how
ignoront and violent humanity is and how slow
its evolution of wisdom and self control!

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Fort Dodge Messenger: The Issue
in this fight is not a league of ma
tions. It's fight over the kind OF
| league we are going to have. The Will
son covenant might work out so that
| the United States would have equal
rights and powers with other ma.
| tons, but there are reasons to believe
that as it's now written 1t won't work
out that way. What the people want
is a league in which there are no
! cloudy sections and which, so far as
is humanity possible. they will know
how it's going to work out
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: When
President Wilson gets back to Wash
ington from his swing around the
circle he is going to find himself con-
fronted by hostile senate. And he
will also find himself in the position
of hunter surrounded with game
and all his ammunition expended.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Senator
Kenyon would not need to worry If a
referendum were arranged in Iowa
he would have about two-thirds of the
people on his side, and perhaps many
more after while They are growing
all the time in numbers and convic.
tons and sincerity.
Webster City Freeman.Journal:
Adopt some good reservations and let
lit go at that. That is just what is
going to be done, If the signs of the
times can be relied upon.
Carroll Herald: If Col. Mat FINLEY
does become the democratic candidate
for governor he win find Iowa's re-
publican majority harder to dislodge
than he ever found the Entertainments
of the Germans in France. Col. Mat
ought to be too we'll versed in the
strategy of warfare to lead an assault
on an invulnerable point.
Des Moines Register: Now that ap-
plause and cheers are almost a daily
occurrence in the United States sen.
ate, the house may find it difficult to
attract the attention of the public
without an occasional near-riot.
Des Moines Capital: The strike man
ayers are somewhat vague in stating
their grievances and the careful
reader is led to infer that the strike
managers, like many thousands OF
men, are ambitious. They want to
fight great battle, possibly with the
hope Of being awarded medals.
Marshalltown Times Republican,:
Considered as a business proposition,
Mr. Rawson is right in his suggestion
that he can't afford the governorship
Considering everything, governing is
not profitable trade or profession in
Iowa.
Cadar Rapids Gazette: When men
who are drawing $50 day in wages
go on strike with men who are draw
ing $3.50 there is a chance for study
by psychologists or lunacy examiners,
with chances that it is the latter
whose services would be required.

Big Improvements For ArmOFy Lawn.

Westminster people should consider
themselves extremely fortunate i'm
having such a building as the Armory
ON Longwell avenue 1t certainly
deserves a good setting. Civic pride
demands that we beautify the grounds
around this building and the Civic
League has taken up the matter.
Mr. Walter Ballard, the landscape
gardner from the Maryland Agricul-
turaI College, has drawn up plans
for the planting OF the grounds and
the hedge has already been started
growing.
The plans are elaborate and we
hope in time to make it one of the
beautiful spots OF our town Mr.. ].
f. Stoner, our enterprising nursery
man, started us with contrfbu. ion
of $1,000 worth of Privet hedge nnd
also, let us have two Of his expert
planters to set it. If there are any
other citizens Of Westminster who
feel a pride i'm beautifying these
grounds, the Civic League will be
glad to receive contributions, large
or small, for this cause. Same may
sent to the treasurer Of the League,
Mrs. Morris Mitten, or to the ur"er-
signed.
