 Copyright, 1921. by The Age-HeraId) New York, August 22.-(Spectal. )- A tomato, kiss, and a diamond ear ring-each of these has been the cause and medium this week for a display of that phenomenon known as woman nature. Even the arrival and subsequent collapse of Suzanne Leng- ley of the agile Knees, or the pro nouncement of the department store eeict against bobbed hair sales girls has created less emotion to ths square inch than, for example, that tomato.
 It was thoroughly ripe and squashy affair, and when it landed kersplash In the bit of yard next door its advent reused black wrath in the heart of the yards occupant and owner. There's something awful!y personal about a busted tomato, spread around ones doorstep. The juicy thud of the missile had scarcely died away before the spinster owncr of the yard started legal proceedinss S against the woman whom she sus- pected of tossing this vegetable epi- thet. As a result, there Is an en- thusiastic legal and lingual feud be- tween self-respecting spinster and no less self-respecting brokers wife, with most of New York meta phorically hanging on the back fence to hear what happens next. And some people think this town is not human.
 Nor does 1t take anything so tan gible as a tomato to start a fight here. Look at Mrs. Phoebe Bushek and the kiss which Emanuel Silver gave her. Mrs. Bushek didn't want the kiss. She said as much, and more. But Emanuel, according to her complaint, went right ahead with 1t and now she wants $10,000 to erase. the memory.
 Woman nature, however, came even more conspicuously to the fore in the matter of the diamond earring Ir was the new woman nature, the kind that made suffrage possible. Most girls in the glad old days would have fled from mouse as if-indeed, far more swiftly than if--Satan were after them.
 Genevieve Catches Mouse
 Today they act like Genevieve AL len. When Miss Allen spied this mouse in the district attorneys oe- flee she gave successful chase and caught the rodent in firm, unterrified fingers. There was. to be sure, an additional circumstance which may have had something to do with Miss Aliens courage. The lady noticed that the mouse had half carat dla- mond earring caught on it's tail.
 Anyway you look at it, women are getting so fearless that men don't Know what to expect next FofN-many years the men have talked about put ting Tammany out of power Here come the ladies with an out-and-oli. antl-Tammany committee. It is a protegee of the Woman's National Republican club. it has opened offi- cial headquarters that seeth with activity, and it announces as it's chief and perfectly frank purpose an ar- gressiye crusade to> "get" Tammany. Tammany has retreated to its lair, growing. No man-size tiger likes to be potted by lady cracksman.

NEW LIGHTHOUSE DEVICES

Two new aids for the mariner have recently been developed by bureau. of Standards and Lighthouses of the Department of Commerce, says John W. Kean in an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The first is an automatic ardio beacon, which is installed on lighthouses and light vessels to aid ships when fogs obscure or shut out the light from the sailors. After number of experments extending over several years. auto. matic radio senders for the tram mission of the radio beacons were recently installed on the Sea Girt light station. the Ambrose Channel light vessel, and the Fire Island light vessel. When the installation was completed, the lighthouse tender Tulip equipped with radio com pass. made thorough test of the practicability of the radio beacon as an aid to navigation.
 While the conservative engineer hesitates to make predictions, it is not unreasonable to assume that the next development of the radio com pass will be an automatic device which will visually indicate the direc- tion from which a radio signal is be- ing sent, and which will, perhaps even indicate the distance from the receiving to the sending station.
 The second aid to the mariners produced by the Department of Com merce is an improved electric- lighting equipment for Lighthouses.

DOOR LIKE BAsCULE BRIDGE

The outstanding feature of an eight-machine hangar recently erect ed by the city of Reno. Okla, to house airplanes of the postal aerial service, Is the immense bascule-type door, the largest structure of It's kind in the world, says the Popular Me- chanics Magazine. This mammoth gate, the result of months of study on the part of a Chicago structural engineer. Is 100 feet long 21 feet high and being of steel beam and corru- gated panel construction. weighs 12.- 900 pounds.
 The problem of quickly and easily moving such an immense weight was solved by adopting the bascule method of suspension, hanging the big panel from pivots at the top in such way that it swings out ward and upward and balancing it with a 37,500-pound counterpoise in- side the building. The plan was a complete success, and so perfect was the designing that five horse power electric motor, turning series of reducing gears, lifts the huge sec- tion to it's full opening in 20 seconds. full-page illustration, showing the construction and operation of the door accompanies the article.

NO EXCUSE FOR UGLINEss
Man Who Today Builds an unattrae-
tive or Commonplace House 10
r.. Behind the Times.

There is no excuse In these days for
building an ugly or commonplace
house. A generation ago not many
capable architects were available, es-
pecially In the western country. Even
when they were. the prevailing taste
ran to frills of turrets and jig-saw
work. The beauty Of simplicity was
not known, and the architect who
stood out for It often found his client
obdurate.
All that has changed. A comparison
Of the bulk Of the houses built In the
eighties and nlneties with those Of
more recent years will reveal how far
The country has come. The number or
competent architects has increased.
and OF even greater Importance, the
stock OF sound ARCHITECTURAL ideas has
become widely diffused.
Books and magazine articles on the
subject have multiplied amazingly.
The prospective builder ought, Of
course, TO avail himself Of the services
NJ good architect. But even II he
falls to do this he Gun find In the pub
Tic library excellent designs to meet
his needs.

CUTTING THIRD SET OF TEETH

N. ID. Starr, who has cut third set

snys the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Mr. Starr. who Is In the employ OF
the Memphis Artesian Water company,
recently found himself In need Of a set
of these artificial substitutes for the
teeth provided by nature. But when
he visited his dentist the price was too
high and he decided to go toothless.
However, through one OF the unac-
countable happenings which some
times upsets all rules. Mr.. Starr dis
covered that he was cutting II new
teeth. They are almost through now,
although they are not very useful yet.
owing to the fact that his gums are
sore In a fashion familiar to all moth
ers Of teethIng infants or to boys and
girls whose second teeth are replacing
their baby teeth, and even the older
boys and girls who proudly announce:
I'm cutting q wisdom tooth"
Dentists doubtless will contend
that such thing cannot happen. But
Mr.. Starr knows that he now has teeth
where no teeth were before. More
over, he says his eyesight Is better
than 1t was several years ago, and
that so far from his vigor being i'm
paired by advancing years he feels
stronger and more youthful than he
did when he was seventy.
