bella Kenealy, an English physician,
sets forth an original and arresting
theory of life and sex. Briefly, DR..
Kenealy argues that the Feminist
movement is reacting and will con-
tinue to react harmfully upon the
race because 1t interferes with the
normal transmission of sex char
acteristics. When the masculine
characteristics inherited by women
from their fathers, but normally re-
naming dormant in them to be
transmitted to their sons, are
brought to the surface and devel-
oped in male activities and proclivi-
ties DR.. Kenealy endeavors to show
that they expend the vital male
heritage Of the race, so that the
offspring and descendants of "ab-
normally masculined women" are
bound to be lacking in manly vigor.

Confederate soldier in Congress

Judge by quality"
eNow. there's the germ of another
new idea. It's a perfectly simple
matter to establish quality-all you
have to do is to use it as a basis for
judgment. The next time you wet
your finger and apply 1t to a piece
of alleged linen, just remember that
you are arriving at a basis of calcu-
lation of quality thereby offering
fundamental opportunity Of estab-
fishing judgment.
1t takes a legal mind to work
these things out.
Remember that pressing, clean
ing, and airing add years to the life
of clothes"
That makes it easy from now
on. All you have to do when you
get a suit that you like is to clean
it eight hours a day, press it eight
hours a day, and leave it out to air
at night, thus consuming the
twenty-four-ho cycle. On the
basis of adding years to the life of
clothes in this manner, good
georgette waist ought to serve as
wedding present for ones great
great grandchildren
Let US hope that Mr.. Figg will con-
tinue his grand and glorious work.
1t does seem peculiar that we have
managed to eke out our sartorial
existence without his fertile brain,
up to this time. o. Figgs.
