Pushing The

The rich man doesn't get

The poor man keeps pushing
him along.
Take the matter Of locomo-
ton as an example.
There was a time when the
rich man was glad 10 ride on q
donkey or in an OK cart. The
poor man walked.
Then some ancient genius
devised the carriage for the
benefit of the rich. The poor
man climbed into the old cart
or strsddled the donkey.

Some day he will abandon
his car and travel in the air

But even that will not last.
There will be no selection for

rich man sprinting 10 keep a

Our Women
And Theirs.

American women are more
fortunate than their cousins Of
Europe-if il can be called
good fortune.
In America there are about
the same number of men as
there are women. and the lat
ter are admired, courted and
sought after. They take their
choice.
In Europe il is different.
The war has worked great ha-
voc with the male population.
There are many millions more
women than men. and this con-
dition is becoming worse daily
through the emigration of vast
numbers of men 10 other parts
of the world. =.
The surplus women of Eu-
rope are facing a dismal and
hopeless future. Marriage is
their natural state, but only the
enactment Of laws authorizing
polygamy will prevent their
dying as spinsters.
The next time you feel dis
satisfied with conditions, sister.
just contrast your present state
with that of the women abroad.
II is a rich field for deep
thinking.

(By The Associated Press


The combined Atlantic and Pacific
fleets of the United States navy have
been engaged in manoeuvers off the
west coast of South America and have
visited number of important ports on
that coast. The subjoined stories Of
incidents were written by an Associat-
ed Press correspondent who accom-
panied the fleets:
On Board Battleship Pennsylvania,
Flagship of Atlantic Fleet, Callao,
Peru, Feb. 5.-A strange language a
still more puzzling currency and ex-
change rate and a strike of chauffeurs
and coach drivers during the Atlantic
fleets visit to Peru did not prevent
American sailors from fltering into
every nook and Granny of Lima, seven
miles from this port, from the humblest
saloon to the cathedral
They may have lost little in ex-
change or paid more for meal than
the average Peruvian, but the smiling
stOrekeeper and cafe manager found
it saved them time and trouble to have
their bill agree with menu prices and
their change correct. For instance:
In one of the best hotels, tanned
bos'un called for the bill for himself
and three companions.

US the waiter laid down bit of paper
with a column of figures on it.
How do you know its too much,
YOU haven't looked at it YETI" one of
his friends demonstrated.
Its always too much the first time"
the bos'un replied without moving his
hand from the pile of Peruvian cur
rency he had placed on the table. 1--WE

argument ensured in English by the
sailor and Spanish by the waiter.
Finally the latter retired with ges-
ture Of despair and captain took his
place. He, too, quit after prolonged
argument and many gestures.
Hes gone to call the cops" ventured
one Of the guests.
mo he won't" affirmed the bOsun
"They know they've boosted this bill
ard they don't dare
The head waiter came tried his ten
words of English and also beat re-
treat, to be replaced by the manager of
the hotel.
Look here" said the bos'un after
ascertaining that the manager under
stood him, more or less. THAT waiter
tried to gyp us. He said we owed
twelve of these cigarette papers. (point !
ing to Peruvian sol. worth about 4j
cents.) figured it up from the menu
and we only owe eight. How about
it!'
The manager glanced 1T the bill and
then at the bos'un. "All right" he said
and bowed the four out.

words of the bos'un as he reached the
street. II saved each Of you guys four

WARNS OF GRAVE CRISIS
FACING CHEMICAL MAKING
Prof. Walter T. Taggart Appeals
to Kiwanians to Support
Legislation.

Stressing the grave crisis which
threatens the organic chemical indus
try of the United States and appeal
ing to his auditors to give their sup
port to proposed legislation affecting
the science, Prof. Walter T. Taggart.
director of the chemical laboratories
of the University of Pennsylvania. ad-
dressed the weekly meeting of the XII
wants Club at the Hotel Washington
yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Taggart said that the peaces
time benefits which accrue from the
development of the science Of organic
chemistry and its application in medi-
inc. agriculture and the industries
connected with food. fuel and textiles
were incalculable.
He emphasized the great role that
organic chemistry has played in the
development of chemical warfare and
dwelt at length on the tremendous
strides made in its development in the
United States during the past ten
years.. but added. This industry is
still centered in Germany"
'Other nations have already sought
to safeguard its future in their coun-
tries by appropriate legislation" he
said. but America stands hesitant.
Progress has been checked and. in
deed. the very industry Is threatened
with destruction"
Robert w. Coates of the Norfolk
Kiwanis Club outlined the program Of
entertainment arranged for the local
Kiwanians at the Forthcoming con-
vention to be held in that city Septem-
ber 29-October 2, and appealed to the
Washington organization to send
large delegation.
Claude Woodward presided and read
letter of appreciation from Harry
E. Karr. international president of XII
wants. for the intercity meeting held
last week here.
Douglas Mclean. moving picture
actor. spoke briefly on the moving
picture industry and said that no set
of people. as whole, were harder
worked and led cleaner lives than
those connected with il. He pleaded
that the public withhold judgment on
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle until the
courts had passed judgment on tho ac-
cused actor.
Prof Taggart and Fred Mckenzie of
the Washington Rotary Club split
the prizes for the handsomeS and
homeliest guests present on $3.50
basis.
An amusing incident occurred dur
ing the business session. when Mark
Lansburgh moved" that. it being
"booie" day. all straw hats in the
outer room be destroyed. The mo-
tion was adopted and. to the conster-
nation of many members and guests.
Mr.. Lansburgh rushed to the hatrack
and returned with his arms full of
straw lids" These were quickly de-
molished. but everybody tried to ap-
pear game. They sat the meeting
out and were greatly relieved at its
close to learn that the broken ''kel-
leys" were only props.
