man issuing banks must be de-
posted before May / either in

ficially announced to-day.
The Reparations Commission
required that a pledge be given
not to dispose of the gold to
other creditors of Germany with

rights laid down by Mr.. Hughes, but

Insists ON Americas Rights.
With the new Administration the
American position stiffened perceptibly.
1t developed upon Secretary Hughes to
assert the unalterable stand of the
United States. Among other things. he
said:
1T will not be questioned that the
right to dispose of the oversee posses
sions of Germany was acquired only
through the victory Of the allied and as
sociated Powers. and 1t is also believed
there is no disposition ON the part of
the Japanese Government to deny the
participation of the United States In
that victory.
1T would seem to follow necessarily
that the right accruing to the Allied and
Associated Powers through the common
victory is shared by the United States
and that there could be no valid or ef-
fective disposition of. the overseas pos
sessions of Germany without the assent
of the United States.
This Government must, therefore,
point out that as the United States has
never vested the Supreme Council or the
League of Nations or the Supreme Coun-
ell with any authority to bind the United
States or to act in its behalf there has
bctn no opportunity for any decision
which could be deemed to affect the
rights OF the United States.
'"rhe fact that the United States has
not ratified the Treaty of Versailles can
not detract from rights which the United
States already has acquired In
particular, as no treaty has ever been
concluded with the United States re-
lsting to the island of Yap and as no
one has ever been authorized to cede or
surrender the right of the United States
In this island, this Government must in
sist that 1t has not lost it's right or in
terest as ii existed prior to any action
by the Supreme Council or the League of
Nations and cannot recognize the alloca-
ton Of the island or the validity OF the
mandate TO Japan
II Is to this note that the State De-
partmcnt is now awaiting reply from
Japan.

The Woman and Business.

"A Chicago woman who manages several
hotels in that city says that those mem
bers of her sex who want to succeed in
business should not marry. She holds that
marriage puts end to any ambitions wo-
man may have for recognition in the business
world; that, in order to be a dutiful wife, she
must submerge herself to the interests of her
husband This woman says she is welded to
her business, and that she couldn't be happier.
And she hasn't been disappointed in love,
either she claims She told a reporter that
dozen years ago she was in loYe with a young
man in Pittsburgh, but when it came to a ques-
ton of becoming a wife or following an indie
pendent career, she chose the latter course She
arrived in Chicago with working capital of
IS. She had decided to become hotel oper-
ator. Her first venture was small boarding
house Today she is conducting several large
family hotels, and soon is to erect another one
to cost about a million dollars.
Here we have an unusual woman, but per-
haps she hasn't done any more than other wo-
men of the same determination and indepen-
dence could have accomplished. She set her
goal and set out to gain it, and she won.
But, without detracting from the IaureIs that
this brave little woman has won for herself
the fact remains that marriage is the natural
goal of every normal woman. 1t would be
sorry world if any considerable proportion of
the female population became converted TO the
course recommended by the Chicago hotel
manager. But there is little danger of such a
condition arising It's nature for men and
women to marry and raise families. They al
ways have been doing this, and they will con-
tinue doing it.
And we will continue to have women bust
ness successes, and they won't all be husband
less, either. We can imagine no happier wo-
man in the world than the one with devoted
husband and children, wife who sits behind
the scenes and inspires and encourages her
husband to strive for success in his chosen
field. Women Away have been successes in the
business world and they always will be- but |
the greatest successes have been those who |
served as inspiration for good husbands
The Chicago woman hotel operator says |
she never will marry. And when she passes on |
she will be mourned only by those she loved |
rs friends. There will be no husband, or chill
iren, to reverence her memory. She is a sue |
cess, but only a winner of dollars. Il

better than those on the outside how they
should conduct their business. and what they
should do to retain the interest and support OF
the public. but IL they would recognize condi-
tions that may not have pleasant sound to
them they would see that one of the chief
causes of falling patronage is the so-called
feature picture. Each new one offered is rep
resented as exceeding the one preceding in the
matter of expense. It is necessary for the
theatre showing it raise the admission
charge The movie atrons have been educated
to wait for the feat re picture, with the result
that the ordinary s-reen Offering of today does
not appeal to them
The course that will most surely place the
movie business basis where the patronage
will continue to grow is for producers to aban-
don their ruinous rivalry in seeking to Guido
one another in the elaborateness of their Of
ferings. If they will stick to the simpler
themes, such as were treated in the days when
the SPOKEN drama was popular, they will find
more contented spirit among their patrons.
The moving picture business has reached the
same obstacle that musical comedy producers
met The productions became so elaborate
that the ordinary musical comedy failed
through lack of patronage. And the bigger
ones grew so big that they were too expensive
for showing outside of the larger centers In
other words, the movies, like other lines of
business, must get back to normally. That
will solve the problems that now beset the
movie producers.

Old Hatred Remains.

The Illinois Staats-Zeitung, published at
Chicago and before Americas entrance into
the war, one of the most violent pro-German
newspapers in the country has resumed pub
hcatlon after suspension of a few years. but
1t does not appear to have been able to have
buried the hatred that it manifested in the
earlier days of anything that suggested that
the Berlin war party might be wrong in the
course 1t was pursuing against the rest of the
world The latest offense of the Staats-Zei-
tung is an attack the American Legion. An
editorial printed in the paper characteriges
the membership of the legion as composed of
the scum of America and declares that most
OF the crime being committed in the country
today is directly traceable to the men who
fought in France.
The editorial was inspired by the action NJ

1t is announced that President Harding this
week will issue pardons to a number of persons

war laws Christmas is an appropriate season
for such leniency to be shown by the govern

those convicted OF offenses against the govern

war prisoners, and it is understood that he is
among those to be pardoned. Debs offense was
more serious than others because of the in
fiuence he exerted over others. AS the recog-

to prevent war enlistments he turned thousands
of men in the country against their govern

the Bold Legged Problem.


4 A young woman wrote me the
other day very frankly that she was
bold legged" and she wished to
know what can be done about it
Isn't that rather a matter of edu-
cation?
| l have been on record for at least
a year as an enthusiastic advocate
of short skirts, somewhere around
knee length, speaking purely, or at
any rate particularly as a hygien-
list. l believe in free and untram-
melled, and in general, fairly plump
legs. Legs are quite as proper as
arms, at least they are as proper as
| forearms. 1t is prudish to call
legs limbs" when you really mean
legs or thighs. The times change.
AS hygienist 1 do not believe in
bold leggedness. 1 bow to no man
as a connoisseur in the matter of
legs, yet bold leggedness seems as
deplorable to me as salacious pic
ture. Perhaps I can best make my
view clear by quoting the follow
ing paragraph from an article by
Helen Bullitt Lowry in the New
York Times Book Review and
Magazine Oct. %, 1921:
$50 the dress reform advocates
would solve the problem by turn
ing back the sands of time-by
squeezing these breezy little birds
(happers) back into the egg shell
of the nineteenth century. Instead
OF such folly, the Girl Scout move
ment goes the flappers one better.
In camp, it takes them entirely out
OF skirts and puts them into bIeom- |
ers and briar proof stockings. 1t |
starts the radical idea that legs
are given us neither that we should |
conceal them by skirts nor that we !
should display them by silk stock
ingsDbut instruments to swim and |
climb mountains with. That is the
crux of the Girl Scout philosophy
toward the human body"
That's the idea exactly. Some
women can say considerable if you
give EN- plenty of room to say it
in.
1t isn't the mere fact that the
stockings are of silk or near silk
texture that I would criticize as
bold leggedness. 1t is the fact that
so many girls and women of a
frothy sort, wobbly as to gray mat
ter, you understand, wear Just
enough silk on their legs to dis
play the legs-display is the word. /
Now, frankly naked leg is all |,
right, so is a naked knee. from
the hygienist's viewpoint. But a leg
or knee trimmed with wisp or
two of silk or near silk, deliberate
ly for exhibition purposes, is bold
Ieggedness of the most reprehens- '
