governors of the states may call upon

This information confirms various re-

apprehension lest the radical action of
some of the labor leaders may be fol-

Excuse me- said Andrew rs that

lyon may make as much fun as you
please said Imogene with spirit, but
1t was a very interesting lecture.
You know, the Phoenicians built Car
thage more than a thousand years ago
and they became SO prosperous and fash
ioaatle that the Romans got jealous of
them and came and destroyed their city.

some of the things he found.
"You are always lecturing me about
the frivolity of this age and telling me
that women used never to dress, dance,
powder and paint like we do now and
that my whole sex is in it's decadence.
81 want you to keep in mind that Car
thage was built in the ninth century and
then to tell you that Mr.. Johnson has
discovered that the women of Carthage
wore their hair in a psyche knot low
on their heads and waved their hair down
over their ears just as we do now.
He also found that they did dances
which, to say the least of them, were
not any better than the fox trot or any
of ours today.
HE found, too, that the women of

those days, who were very beautiful,
carried vanity bags just as we do today
ana that they powdered and roughed and
Iixed themselves UP just as all women
nave done since the beginning of time
! NOW, after this, after hearing that
women a thousand years age did all the
things which you see fit to call evidences
OF the folly and feeble mindedness of the
age, L don't want to hear any more talk
from you about how our grandmothers
acted, how much wiser and better, how
much less frivolous they were and all
that sort of thing.
The women of Carthage did just what
the women of Boston, New York or
Washington are doing. They dressed
and deported themselves in the manner
most likely to attract the men of their
times. l doubt not that the Carthagen-
ians also pretended to sneer at the canity
bags, at the rouge, at the way their
wives and sweetheartS combed their hair
so low that their ears would not show,
but in their hearts they admired it, just
as you do

tato.

that these hussies of ancient Carthage
did all the silly things that you do, Ell?
You point with pride to their vanity bags,
their roughed lips and cheeks, their pow

things. You do not follow your argu-
ment to its logical conclusion.

CUMMINS RAIL BILL

Washington, Dec 11-Passage of
the Cummins railroad bill means a
further increase in the cost. of living
and much greater social and indus
trial unrest, Senator La Toilette pre-
dicted today to senator's, beginning
the third of his speeches against the
bill
This is because passage Of this
bill means immediate increase in rail
road rates which will be reflected in
higher prices for necessities of life
said La Toilette But the govern
ment has been operating the roads at
profit at existing rates and in spite
of wage increase to shopmen total
ing several million dollars. If the
government continues to operate the
roads, the deficit will be completely
wiped out and profit shown at the
present rates.
