SAYS MIDDLE-CLASS GIRL
is LAZY AND RESTLESS

LONDON. January % Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-'The
present-day middle-class girl has
been spoiled, she is lazy, restless,
pleasure-seeking and egotistical. has
a better time than any other women
in the world, but she is never salts
fed" accuses a woman writing to the
London Daily News over the signature
Victorian"
The young married woman of to-
day appears to think that she is the
only woman who has ever had any
domestic difficulties, or had to do any
work" she writes. THE fact is, of
course, that she has a far easier time
than women had in my day.
In those days we didn't grumble,
or look upon ourselves as victims. We
didn't talk about any revolt of house
wives or worry our husbands to
death with demands for better time.
I'VE worked hard and cheerfully,
did without luXuries and expensive
holidays. and brought up large fami-
lies without considering ourselves
martyrs.
THE trouble is that the present day
middle-class girl is 'spoilt.' Usually,
she dislikes children, and resents hav-
ing to give up any time to looking
after them. She would rather play
bridge than hear child's prayers.
The more l see of the young mar
ried woman of today. and the more l
hear of her constant grumbling, the
more proud 1 am of being an old Vic
torian"

BARBARY COAST THRILLS

Those who may come to San Fran

with the idea Of experiencing thrill
by visiting the "Barbary Coast" will
be disappointed.
Many of the resorts, celebrated in
story and verse as the scenes Of des-
perate adventure, where cheap board
ing house operators commonly known
as "crimps," freely piled their trade
of shanghaiing sailors for unscrupu-
lous sea captains, are permanently
closed. Others have but the name of
the places that once famed with
color, music and revelry.
Long before national prohibition
was generally considered possi-
bility. "Barbaray Coast" a section of
Pacific street extending back from
the bay front a half dozen blocks. to
where Chinatown touches the Italian
district, has been rendered innocuous
by the prohibition of the sale of
liquor in the long row of dance halls
there.
The main artery from this district
to Market street. San Francisco's s
principal thoroughfare. is Kearney
street, where once, it is declared,
within an hour enough reckless
spirits could be picked up to start
almost any sort Of desperate enter
prise. Now Kearney is one of the
quietest and most respectable busi-

DORPAT. Esthonia. February tv,a
Heisingfors. Finland. February 6).-The
most striking feature of the Esthonian-

article 13, which declares that the con-
cess;ons. advantages and privileges
given Esthonia by the agreement shall,
under no circumstances. be considered
a precedent. The peace negotiations
with the other border states, it is be
lieNcd. will be much easier. This as
sumption may be wrong 1t is obvious
that the concessions made in this treaty
will encourage their demands, for des-
plte the warning in article 3 the Dor
pat convention is certain to become the
basis for peace between soviet Russia
and the rest of the border states.
Change on Northwest Front.
During the truce negotiations the
military guarantees were considered to
be the most urgent. Now the situation

points are those relating to finances and

SS.0OO.0O0 rubles (s4.0OO,OOO are pay
able one month after the ratification of
the treaty and the remainder after two
months. This payment is looked upon
as Esthonia's share of Russia s treasure
and not as an indemnity. which is spe-
clhcally renounced in article s.
somewhat contradictory is the ex-
emption of Esthonia from her share in
the russian debt. This is out of har-
mony with the earlier announcement
by Esthonia of her willingness to pay
her proportion of the debt without
regard to Russia's own action in that
connection.
To Settle Trade Relations Later.
Economic relations and the resump-
ton or trade are to be arranged by
further agreement and only the
principles of the most favored ma
ton clauses are defined in the treaty.
Russia grants a concession for the
building and exploiting of a railway
from Moscow direct to the Esthonian
frontier. She also grants forest con-
cesslons ON a total area of 1000. 900
dessiatineb (2.699,72O acres) in seven
russian provinces. including Petro-
grad and Archangel Both conces-
slons are made subject to further
agreement concerning dates and con-
cessions. An interesting feature is
the right OF Esthonia to sell the con-
cesslons on informing Russia of the
name of the purchaser
To safeguard the terms of the treaty
four mixed commissions of Russians
and Esthonians are to be esta blished.
The ratification of the treaty will take
