Women of the Future

One way in which the war made the
world jump forward in an utterly un-
expected fashion is illustrated in the
present international conference of wom-
en- physicians in this city. The develop
ment of women mentally and physically
and their entrance upon wider duties in
dustrlally and politically were marching
their slow course in the dull days before
1914. Then, with the war of peoples.
women were suddenly drafted into a
thousand new and strange duties that
imposed an utterly unprecedented bur
den upon bodies, brains and nerves. 1t
was a rude and rash test-like teaching
boy swimming by throwing him over
board. How amazingly women rose to
the need is now history in every civilized
land. The proof Of womens potential
ability came once and for all time, a
revelation as surprising to most women
as to most men.
Now come the slower consequences.
Here IN America, where the loss of men
is scarcely felt, we are basing our future
progress upon plan and choice. In the
countries of Europe there is no choice.
AS DIR. Anna Moutet, head of the largest
hospital in Lyons, France, said at the
current conference:
The young women of this generation
Know two things absolutely: First. that
they cannot marry, since their young men
are dead, and. second, that they must do
tEn yo,E Dff e.
son. The great professional schools have
become coeducational, and girls who be-
fore looked only toward marriage or the
convent are now taking up the profess
sions."
Inc present conference shows an ad-
mrabie spirit of conservatism in it's
programme. AS announced. it 10 nr;.
marlly that of making women physically
strong, which it is properly conceived is
the necessary preliminary to the solution
of every problem of women, in industry
IN politics, in society. Ideas are now be-
ing exchanged At the end of the con-
ference it is hoped that some definite
conclusions Will be reached which can be
made public.
The conservatives will naturally s4vicw
with alarm" and prophesy the masculine
zatlon of women to the destruction Of
feminine charm and feminine character.
But women have travelled long way
from the harem without becoming utter
ly as men, and they can probably travel
with safety good deal further. Only a.
century ago women were carried about
in chairs and enjoyed the vapors and
were generally trained for uselessness.
Women who can walk and work are now
viewed with neither alarm nor suspicion,
and the more their physical problems are
studied and understood and provided for
the less likely is their shift into more
active living to weaken their essential
responsibility and appeal As women.
Woman in industry has been thor

BY What Right?

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There are many Of us who would
like to know what right Mr.. Gompers has
to offer suggestions or submit demands to
Governor Coolidge on the subject of the
silly strike of the Boston police.
Governor Coolidge wisely reminds Mr.
Gompers and everybody else that there is
no right to strike against the public safety
by anybody, anywhere, any time
What authority has Mr.. Gompers or any
other outsider to Interfere with or pretend
to dictate the policy of state officials? None.

liberties. E. H. CLEVELAND, M. D.

survive only two editions of The Tribune
on Monday before an editor pounced upon it
and removed it as indicate. We have re-
ported the matter to the author and asked
him to justify himself for writing such ques-

that a member Of President Wilson's party

Few men are able to use the short stor1
to such humorous effect as W. w. Jacobs
but we are beginning to wish that he would
devise some new plots. Deep Waters
(Scribner's) is amusing, to be sure. but
there is hardly story in the volume which
Jacobs has not used before with some slight
~ varying twist. To our own knowledge he
has used the theme of the headstrong girl,
the old uncle and the persistent lover in one
form another half dozen times. The
story of the sailorman who pretends to DO
dead and frightens folk by appearing as q
ghost is also familiar in the repertory Of
Jacobs, as is the theme of the saiornsn
who form a syndicate to promote scms
questionable financial venture Even in the
retelling Jacobs does we'll. We fnd it possi-
bic to laugh at the stories IN each new
form. but merely for the sake of his own
considerable art we think Jacobs might
strive to make his exercises H. the short
story something more than the ingenious
variations played upon few set formula.
