worldwide, though the symptoms
differ in various countries.
In East Africa, the natives of
the British provinces are deeply
disconnected and resisting the re-
duction of wages for reason
which is not heard in America. 1t
is that the price Of wives is still
fifty per cent above the pre-war
level. Without seeming to con-
slider other items in the cost of liv-
ing, the natives insist that until
wives become cheaper, it is a rank
injustice to lower wages. They
are even insisting that the govern
ment fix standard price for mar
|riageable women. In West Africa,
this has actually been done. By
an agreement made only two or
three weeks ago between Great
Britain and Liberia, the price Of
wives was set by law at approx
mately twenty dollars.
Such events enable us to see
rather clearly what civilization,
and especially democracy, have
done for womanhood.

Our Defenders under Fire

The Indiana Federation of La
Dor at its annual convention held
recently adopted a resolution ask
ing that Congress revoke the char
ter Of the American Legion. The
reason given for the action is that
the u gion is antagonisticd to or
ganized labor nod bago1A t.
For some time it has abeen EVIL
dent that a break betweenlthe ex-
service men, and organized fJabor
was inevitable. AS it takesd place,
the Legion seems to have the adj
vantage at least of public SYM
!. pathy and good win, It IS made
up Of men Who have offered their
all to their country, who have put
the common good above every sell
fish consideration of private gain,
who have faced death and endured
untold hardships, and who not
only received a pitifully small
recompense for their great service
but in many cases returned home
to find their positions permanently
lost by reason Of it.
Organized labor has no such
things to its credit. Indeed, its
wartime record is far different
from that Of the American Legion
as to practically every point named
above.

The Problems OF
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
The Blindness Of Mothers

The infant has no other guiding
force in its life than the urge of it's
instincts. Soon, however, if its
parents are sensible, good habits
begin to take their place in the
joint rule Of the little ones con-
duct. And then, at the age OF
about six, reason comes in,-at
first as force family felt, but Fl.
nally, if properly nurtured and de-
veloped by the parents, as the
most powerful Of all agents in the
moulding of the child's conduct
and the shaping Of its life. While
the formation of the first right
habits is task requiring consum-
mate judgment and skill on the
part of the parents, it is surpassed
by far by this later one Of bring
ing the child under the perfect con-
troll of his unbiased reason.
Few mothers undertake this sec
ond momentous task in child train
ing with a clear understanding of
its great significance or in the
proper spirit Our worst mistake,
perhaps, is that weoput the imme-
date purpose of the moment
above The ultimate one Of enabling
the child toqqdetermine his own
conduct rightly without aid al

others; yet how many Of us give

telling the children what they may
and may not do. Instead, we are
more intent upon putting an end
to their boisterous noise or upon
getting them toSperform some err
rand than upon the development
of self-controll or the ability to
choose right conduct.
How short-sighted we are; for
we know that the purpose of the

Bluebeard Becomes Hero
France has modern Bluebeard.
He is charged with the murder of
fourteen women, to whom he had
first become engaged. In several
cases he burned their bodies. The
crimes of which he is accused were
so numerous and so fendish as to
rivet the attention of the civilized
world.
In view of his diabolical record,
women generally would be ex-
pected to loathe him. Instead, so
many are writing him that it has
become necessary to supply him
with a private secretary even
though he is in prison. Nearly all
express sympathy and affection.
One said: "When you are free,
you will find here tender heart to
make you forget your torrents"

MODERN POISON GAS
WILL BE USED FOR
WAR, INVENTOR SAYS
Nations Will Adopt Method
Generally for Fighting,
Professor States.

BERLIN. Sept. 25-No nation is
ready 20 abandon poison gas as "a
war weapon. according to an OK
elusive statement obtained today
from Prof. Writ Haerber. inventor
OF the Oppau hydrogen extraction
process and developer of poison gas
used in The world war
Poison gas was first used against
human beings by French police i'm
dgcting the notorious Bonnet gang
Of Apaches who had headquarters
at Choisy Leroi." he stated AT the
beginning Of the world war the press
was filled with reports on remark
able results obtained by a French
engineer named Tur7in in develop
ing a deadly gas German military
authorities We're most nervous.
Suggested Gas To Kill.
The first months of the war both
the Germans and the French used
gas. but it had no noticeable effect
upon the opposing troops.
Il suggested that poison gas be
used in great volumne, otherwise it
was valueless. Germany had not
guns enough for firing gas projec-
tiles and so therefore relied upon
nature and used the wind.
Il had the greatest difficulty i'm
inducing the general staff to ADOPT
my plan Had the German general
staff prepared gas attack on a
very large scale instead Of expert
menting as at Ypres. Germany would
have won the war. As il was, the
allies forced the issue
British Make Mistake.
The British made the same mis-
take as regard land tanks. The Brit
ish employed these on a small scale
at first at Cambria. and won a small
temporary victory. but had they
waited until thousands of tanks We're
available the progress of the war
would have had a different story.
AS il was. the Germans were enabled
to take counter measures.
a new weapon always wins out
in war if it has merit. When the
world war closed. 81 per cent Of all
German munitions were poison gas
shells.
"On the whole. I do not think the
use OF poison gas to be any more
cruel than other war weapons. Poi
son gas caused fewer deaths than
