TURN TO ATHLETICS.
He declared the bottom of the diff
ference to be one OF long established
dissimilarity of viewpoint. and con-
tinued:
MEN instinctively turn to athletics;
hunting, fghting. Women have had
opportunity for physical education in
the schools only during the past
twenty or thirty years. Even today
many States are just passing laws
making physical training part OF pub
lie school work.
"Despite handicaps, women have
shown physical Improvement during
the past nifty years.
"The physique of women, as well
as men, has been undergoing
change. There has been average In
crease OF an inch in height and seven
pounds in weight in the half century
past gone"
Then he offered a bit of comfort to
the physically inferior sex. Women
will get on faster proportionately
than will her brothers these next few
years. He added:
~ don't believe strenuous sports
and competitive athletics ever will
greatly appeal to women.

College Women Found Inferior
Physically After Study by

BY WINIFRED VAN DUZER,

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Dr. r. TAFT
Mckenzie, physical educationist al
the University OF Pennsylvania, to-
day told me about the beginning oi
the hubbub over the matter OF ply
sical perfection of the American col
lege man as opposed TO physical
frumpery of the American college
woman.
LAUDs COLLEGE WOMEN,
He laughed good naturedly when ]
asked II he still believes the coed q
nAt-chested creature with no faint re-
minder Of Venus In all her slattern
physique. tho while her brother stud
ent retains most OF the Adonis line
as proportions beloved or ancient
Greece. And II the distressing COM
parison applies to college women only
He replied:
I believe the comparison between
American women outside college
would show even greater physical
infericrity to the American men, for
IL seems reasonable that the student
body represents the pick or our land
Yes, II is true that college women
average many more physical defects
than college men.
'SThey are inclined to be nat
chested, hat-footed, awkward OF car
riage, ignorant OF proper breathing,
more poorly nourished than college
nen.
"One hundred examinations of
students OF both sexes show these
discrepancies in alarming degree.
'If all American women were to go
through tests like the draft examine
tion, 1 believe reflections would ex-
coed those of men in enormous per-
centage!'
There, girls. with your high heels
and thin stockings and eternal
chocolates-how do you like that?

GIVES HIS MESSAGE.

The creameries are destroyed, crops
are burned; the grain and fodder for
the cattie-yes. and the poor beasts
themselves are burnt to cinders.
Here are few typical reports OF
the destruction OF the farms and
farmers depend. which i have before
me:
Between April o and November 27
forty-two creamerie were destroyed
with damage Of 100000 pounds and
the disturbance OF an annual trade OF
over 1.OOO.0OO pounds.
BLOW TO FARMERS.
"The loss OF 100000 pounds to the
rural population of a nation with less
than 4.5OO. 900 people can be under
stood to be a grevious economic blow
and to entail on the farmers grievous
loss.
"The Bridgetown Cooperative
Creamery, serving 200 farmers and
the only creamery remaining in
County Clare, has been burned by the
crowns forces"
What will the poor farmers OF
County Clare and their wives and
little children do this winter with
heir source Of livelihood thus taken
away by the Black and Tan torch?
Twenty horses were burned at
Headford. Farm houses and crops
burned in Tipperary. Galway and
Limerick"
BURN WITH CARE.
These are typical reports that arc
repeated from many sections of the
land Surely these poor people are
facing terrible things with their
homes and sustenance gone, and all
because they loved that homo and
the land of their birth.
And in the cities what places are
attacked? Just the very buildings
that will most conduce to ruin the
economic stability of the country.
In Cork. for instance. the blocks
burned formed the chief centers of
production and distribution for the
neighboring counties. And SO the
plan goes on.

Encourage These Boys

No campaign for public sup
port should appeal more to the
hearts of Marylanders than that
now in progress for the benefit
Of st. Mary's industrial School.
The plan is to raise 81, 900, 600 to
replace the institution Of educa-
ton and industrial training that
was destroyed by fire and to fur
nish a haven for thousands OF
boys, who, in the next few years
will reach that point in life when
they are to become useful men
and citizens, or a menace to So
ciety.
Boys are not placed in St.
Mary's Industrial School because
they are criminals, but to pre-
vent such tendencies from becom-
ing developed. 1t is not an ex-
aggeration to say there are in
Maryland to-day scores OF men
prominent in affairs, who receiv-
ed their elementary training at
st. Mary's Industrial School, OF
which, had they been deprived,
they may have drifted along the
wrong path Of life thai, leads to
penal institutions.
This thought should be enter
tanned in every home in the Com.
monwealth. None is 80 immune
that perverseness may not creep
into the lives Of some Of our low
ed ones, and, when such boys may
be left friendless, either through
death or some other cause, where
could they find a better place Of
protection than st. Mary's In
dustrial School?
1t is, therefore, philanthropy
of the highest type to support such
campaign as is being conducted
by st. Mary's Industrial School.
The work is non-sectarian; lei
us all help.

George Washington

From more than mere habit do
the American people pause an
nually to observe the day on
which, in 1892, George Washing
ton was born. For it has come
to be recognized as q duty Of
citizenship to pay this tribute
year by year tb the man to whom,
Of all those who helped in the
creation and the maintenance Of
the republic, the United States
owes the most in respect and af-
lection.
we think chiefly of Washing
ton as the soldier and the execu-
tive. and rarely Of him as the
creative statesman, the presiding
officer Of the Constitutional Con-
vention, which was as important
an effort as any Of the military
victories or the initial construc-
tive enactments Of the reorganiz-
ed Congress. In that assemblage
Washington was a force of the
greatest value. His counsel was
uniformly sound. That the
structure built upon the founda-
tons then laid should require him
as its chief factor was probably
not in his intimate calculations as
he sat during the anxious weeks
Of discussion as the chairman Of
stoutly contending body Of
delegates, Personal advantage
or renown or reward was nothing
to him them. Yet he valued the
honor bestowed upon him, valued
it the more because it came to
him without contest or question.
Today, more than 121 years af-
ter his death, George Washing
ton is a living reality to the mill
lions who observe his natal day.
The government is quite a differ
ent sort Of organization from that
which he conceived as possible.
Wonderful changes have taken
place. Amervelous development
has come about in the course Of
these many decades. Yet the
figure Of Washington remains
wildly real and human In the
minds Of the American people.
He is not a mere tradition. His
peculiarities of character are in
timately known. His words are
currently quoted. His personal
appearance is familiar. He is,
indeed, living in the hearts Of
bis countrymen." And that Is
why on this annual occasion the
country pauses to pay him the
tribute Of gratitude Ind respect
and devotion. Star.

THE GOVERNMENT PAYS.

The Government has to date made
a total disbursement of $226,4S6,-
891.34 in meeting both the compensa-
ton claims of former service men dis
sbled by reason Of wounds, injuries
or disease incurred in the world war,
and the death claims of the depend
ents of those who made the supreme
sacrifice, according to an announce
ment of Director C. r. Forbes Of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance. The

gregated $192,667 ,5S94S and the

tai amount disbursed by the Bureau
for compensation purposes was $l0,-
575,416, the monthly payments on
disability compensation claims for
that period amounting to $9145,288,
and the monthly payments to the de
pendents of deceased soldiers amount
ing to S1,430,12S0i. Between June
| and June Is the Bureau mailed 221,-
612 checks to cover this disbursement
tn former service men.
The increase in the number Of
claims filed with the Bureau has cX-
ceeded any estimate. The number Of
claims filed from the inception of the
Bureau to May 1919 was 209,700
while on June /, 1921, the number IN
file was 631 $50 showing an increase
during that period of 422,2S0 The

ability for the first preiod was A.
073; the number Of awards at the end

increase during the second period Of
2s2,342. For the first period the RI
ito was one claim pending to every
two filed. For the second period, the
ratio was one claim pending to every
eight claims filed.
