QUIPS AND QUlDDITIES

A gentleman was one day visiting luna
asylum, and while walking in the grounds he
met patient, to whom he said:
''Well, m! good man how did you get
here?"
The lunatic replied as follows:
''Well, sir, you see, l married a widow
with a grOvn-up daughter, and then my
father married that same stepdaughter, and
that made Lly wife the mother-in-law of her
father-in-law, and my father became my
stepson.
"Then my stepmother, the daughter of my
wife, had son, and that boy, of course, was
my brother, because he was my fathers son.

= WONDER why the world has always
looked down upon women, and regarded
a them with undisguised contempt?
The smallest baby boy weeps with rage
if you mistake him for a girl. The very
word "effeminate'' when applied to one of
the opposite sex is a fighting word, if he
has drop of red blood in his veins. To call
man an old woman is to offer him the ulti-
mate j"Sult.
Womans work, although it is the most
important work in the world, has never
been considered worth paying for, or classed
among the occupations that confer distinc-
ton upon those that follow them. Indeed,
womens chief business, that of wife and
mother and hOme-maker, is not even listed
in the census reports among the gainful pur-
suits.
Yet, the profession of being woman is
the most difficult and complicated job on
earth. 1t is the one occupation, above all
others, that demands knowledge Of all the
arts and crafts, and entities the one who
follows it to be ranked among those who
practice a learned profession.
Not without reason is even the humblest
woman who has been a girl, and wife, and
mother, entitled to write M. A. after her
name.
To be a man is very simple proposition.
A man has only to be what God made him,
as the proverbial mud fence ,daubbed with
tadpoles. He / ,ay be fat and bay-windowed
and bald-headed. He may be so dull and
stupid that people fee at his approach. He
may be egotistical and monologue about his
own achievements until he is an understudy
Of Samson, who slew his thousands with the
jaWbone of an ass
All is forgiven him because he belongs to
the masculine persuasion, he is sought after,
endured patiently, even admired, because he
is man. Just to be a man is a career of
itself, and an excuse.
More: We expect little of men. When
a man is blacksmith, or carpenter, or
plumber, we don't expect him to do any
thing but blacksmith, or carpenter or plumb.
If he is a lawyer, we don't expect him to be
able to remove appendix, or cure cancer,
as side line If he is a doctor, don't
expect him to know how to trim hats, or
hang a skirt. Neither do we expect judge
to be able to cook a dinner. If he is a
priest or preacher, we do not expect him to
be a graceful SIMMER or expert fodder.
But we expect every woman to be able
to do everything under the sun. She must
be an Admirable Crichton in petticOats. We
are not satisfied with a Woman's being a
frst-class cook, she must also shine in the
parlor. Likewise the parlor ornament must
be equally serviceable as a kitchen utensil.
We expect a college graduate to be frivolous
and Fluffy Ruffles to be profound.
Just the average woman who runs home
must be a commissary general who assem-
bles continually the thousand and one diff

n Jew YORK CITY, Dec. 10-If you fail
N to receive a letter when you know one
is due, don't give up hope. You are
apt to get it in the long run. letter writ
ten in New York nineteen years and five
months ago was delivered in Philadelphia
just the other day, while in another case re-
Gently reported letter was delivered nearly
half a century after it was mailed.
Such instances of course are not common.
The majority of mail that is lost is lost for
ever, because it is stolen and destroyed by
thieves, the postoffice authorities rarely re-
cover letters and valuables disappearing
n this way. But letters are often delayed
and lost through other, sometimes curious,
means.
For example, letters occasionally get
stuck in the mail boxes" says a postoffice
worker, "but the frequent Earring of the lid
generally dislodges these without great de-
lays. There is also chance Of letter fell
ing through a crack or getting behind par
tition in the wall, to remain there unmolest-
ed until the wall is torn down and to be found
accidentally. But the most extensive cache
is in old mail bags. Negligent clerks fail to
shake out all the letters the last time the
bags are used The sacks may remain for
months in {. storage house and the mail lie
undiscovered until the bags are sent to a re-
pair shop
The postoffice worker o. our acquaintance
knows of at least one case in which such an
accident had very serious results. A young
girl who was in New York attending Column
bia was engaged to a college youth whose
father was a prosperous business man in a
New England city. The couple were to be
married and the young man taken into his
fathers business as soon as he graduated
from college. A few months before that
event, however, the father suddenly went into
bankruptcy under most distressing circum-
stances.
Love Letters Lost
The boy Immediately wrote to the girl in
New York, releasing her from the engage
ment. His letter was not precisely gentle,
for he had been unprepared for the catas-
trophe and Lis pride was hurt. Among other
things he pointed out that he would not be
able to support a wife for some time to
come, because he would have his father S
debts to pay off. The girl wrote back, re-
fusng to give him up and explaining that she
could, if necessary, support herself This
letter somehow got lost in local postoffice
(the postoffice worker blames a mail bag)
and was not delivered until two years later
girl, who also had her pride, had married
someone else.
An amazing quantity of mail fails to reach
it's destination each year, of course, because
it is misdirected. Approximately 325, 900
pieces of mail are received daily in the New
York pOstOffice which are insuffciently adj
dressed-a total of S,625, 900 a year. All
of this carelessly addressed matter is handed
over to searchers who give it what is called
directory service-that is, they look the ad-
dresses up in various city directories.
This misdirected mail costs the govern

DOUBTS OF DULL
BY H. Addington Bruce
VIZ ONDERINGLY Brown responded

VIZ ONDERINGLY Brown responded to
w the summons to call i'll at the man
ayers office. He could think of no
reason for it-unless he had unwittingy
made a serious mistake Of some sort.
But the managers first words allayed
this disquieting suspicion. With an affable
smile he began
"You have been working faithfully and
we'll, and I am glad that an opportunity for
promotion has now come to you. Smith is
leaving us on Monday and we have select
ed you to take his place.
at will mean, of course, new duties and
increased responsibility. But am quite sure
that you will handle everything all right"
Murmuring few words of thanks for the
unexpected good news, Brown returned to
his desk. He should have felt jubilant, ex-
hilarated. He did not
Now that advancement had come to him,
doubt had unhappily come with it. Would
he succeed he asked himself. This question
kept recurring with tormenting frequency
despite friendly reassurances given him by
the departing Smith himself.
And, simply because he was so doubtful
Browns first day in Smiths post went bad
ly.
He was Hurried as he had not been be-
fore He did not think with his usual vigor
and alertness. The close of the day found
him strangely tired.
All this he mistakenly attributed to the
difficulties of his new work. Actually it was
the product Of the fatigue-increasing, mind
beclouding toxins of doubt. By doubt his
brain had literally been poisoned.
Had he been able to take advice from one
who knew the incapacitating power of doubt
Brown might have banished doubt from his
mind by proper exercise of will-power. In
stead he allowed it to continue to beset him
until, at the end of a month, he went to the
manager and frankly asked to be permitted
to take UP once more the tasks with which
he familiar.
81 don't know what has come over me-
he said, perplexedly. But 1 do know that
can't fill Smiths place either efficiently
or comfortably. In justice to the firm and
for my own peace of mind I'd like to let
somebody else have try at it."
And Brown is not the only man whose
mind has been dulled by doubt that pro-
motion has meant failure. livery man who
asks himself, when promotion comes, 81
wonder if 1 can make good?" is inviting for
himself the fate of Brown. Always doubt

Extending. Germramy's Time
THE reported agreement of France and
Great Britain to extend by three


/ Great Britain to extend by three
years the term which the Versailles
treaty allowed for Germany'T payment of
reparations in gold, is Of happy and far
reaching significance. Better it would have
been, of course could the obligations have
been met and cancelled as they matured;
but that being impossible, it is the part OF
wisdom for the creditors to show patience.
Nothing would be gained by harsh pressure,
but much might e lost.
For one thing, the financial poise of all
Europe, in so far as such pose is being re-
gained, would be .erilously shaken. Even as
it is, a thoughtful American observer writes
that Germany's frantic effort to pay" has
hid a "highly disturbing and damaging eff
feet upon the entire credit system of the
world" Materials and manufactures may be
delivered, up to certain measure IN lieu
of gold; but that process itself, . 1t goes too
far or too fast may prove economically hurt
full to the Allies. Their self-nterest requires
that German indie nifty shall not be paid at
the cost Of that general recovery OF finance
and that general soundness of trade condi-
lions on which their own prosperity so large
1y depends.
Further, drastic policy would be eX-
ceedingly i'll advised if it brought the liberal
and democratic TO ces of the new Germany
into popular disfavor 1t is in those forces,
not in the smouldering monarchists and
mlitarists who await opportunity Tor up
flaring, that France can expect the develop
ynent of neighborliness. and thai the world
can expect friendship. This is not to imply
that any regime should be INDUCED to the
extent of cancelling its foreign obligations.
But there are times in the greatest interna-
tional affairs as in the smallest business
and social relations, when lenency becomes
the better part of strength solvent, in
dustrious wel'-functioning Germany will be
a fairer field for democracy and peace than
would a Germany bankrupt, sullen and
starved.

poser Of several songs, including "Silver

Miss banks is complaining over the ac-
counting filed by her brother, as admins
traitor Of their fathers estate. She objects
particularly to the report that only $500
in royalties has been received, saying a.
believes that nearly $4,000 has been paid
by four publishing concerns. All she has
received, says Miss banks, was $500 from
the estate.
1t is alleged by Miss banks that her
brother admitted receiving $23,33S in roy

Among the Cold" She submitted an affi-
davit by Hamilton A. Gordon, publisher Of

Bomb SUSPECT

Mike Slime, Bulgarian wrestler with
long black hair, who travels with show
troupe, was arrested by the Omaha police
last week on the strength of an anonymous
note intimating that Slime had driven the
dynamite wagon in the Wall street explo-
sion a year ago. The police have decided
to release the prisoner, because he had es-
tablished to their satisfaction that he was
showing in Chippewa Falls, Wis, with his
troupe on the day of the disaster, and that
two days later he was in Omaha. One po-
liceman and several other persons said they
recognized the wrestler as the center or
attraction at the show because the crowd
threw eggs and other things" at him and
the police had a hard time subduing the
demonstrators.

quarters said there was no reason to sus-
pect Slime. Federal agents have wired the

Against RELIGION

This little chapel stands at the entrance.
to the Red Square and contains the ikon
which is more sacred to Russian churchmen
than any other in the entire domain of the
former Car. Consequently, it is greatly fire.
quented by i'll persons and supplicants who
nave suffered all sorts of misfortune and re-
verses.
The stream of worshipers at the holy
shrine continues in spite of the slurring sign
which BolsLevist officials have erected. And
the disregard of the faithful for the official
sheer recorded on the tablet is clearly indie
atlVe OF the failure of the Communist re-
CINE to lessen the regard for religion
throughout Russia.
Communists are expelled from the party in
large numbers for having their children bap-
tized,, or for being married in a church or
showing religious tendencies. At least these
are the reasons given officially in many cities
where the cleansing of the party is taking
place.
In response to inquiries as to whether
abandonment of religion had made it UNI
necessary for the American Relief Admins
tration to send kosher food to Russia, a
prominent member of the Communist party
who is attached to the Foreign Office said
food which orthodox Jews eat should be
