THE UrALLorrED WOMAN.

England and France have the problem of the unaIlotted woman on their hands and both countries are considerably per- turbed over It's solution. Wars ravages have taken toll of the youngest and hciency in males of 2,0oo,o0o in the British Isles and close to 5000, 900 in France. Thus 5.ooo.ooo unallotted wo- men present the problem for the two countries. and the question is what is to be done with them.
 One eminent sociologist, Professor Patrick Geddes, rredcts in the situa- ton a menace to British society, claim ing that civilization is high or low ac- cording as women are at a( premium or a discount" Miss LilliaR Barker, direc- tor of the women's training and employ ment committee in London, says that there are hundreds of thousands of wo- men Vho cannot marry, and. unless they are helped, cannot ind job. She asks who can blame them if in order to live they fall back on their one remaining asset Tn France the Petit Bleu is print Ing serious articles by Jean Hess who advocates the legallzation of polygamy. He declares that if nothing is done to raise the birth rate France will become absorbed by the foreign elements within twenty or thirty years.
 We hold a somewhat higher opinion of ~our womanhood and can scarcely sub- scribe to the belief that the unallotted woman must necessarily be driven into a moral breakdown or comDlacently ac- cept the doubtful advantage of becom- ing a midwife or third-wife to some man. Why should we not expect that the unallotted woman Is wholly capable of taking care of herself? It is not trut that woman unmarried is either worth. less or a menace to society. She is cap able of increasing any nations produc lion, mechanically and agriculturally she can make the wilderness blossom a. the rose. And while half the kitchens of civilization are crying for earnes woman help, there remains a last re source for the unallotted woman that il profitable and honorable. We'll design ed efforts to place women in wage-earn Ing occupations may be worth while ant assisted immigration may be desirable But 1t is futile to suggest that woman unmarried is either worthless of men acc to society. for it is not true tha all women are at their best as wives ant mothers.

SHIPPING BOARD DEFICITS.

President Harding was shocked, says Albert D. Lasker, chairman of the United States shipping board. when MT. Lasker recently reported to him deficit of s3s0, ,0o0 from the operation of she nations cargo ships in the last fiscal year. Congress had appropriated only s100.0oo.000 to enable the shipping board to pay it's bills
 It is evident that there has been an amazing policy of waste and the im- portant question is whether the ship ping board is now prepared to stop the leaks. On this point Mir. Lasker warns the public against too rosy expectations. The damage cannot be repaired all at once no matter how drastic the meas ures that will be adopted. Further de- ficits are to be expected and must be faced. But the board will do it's utmost to reduce them and to sell or lease the ships On the best terms obtainable and without reference to past values. Mean while Mir. Lasker asks congress for s125, 0o0, 900 to meet the threatened de- fcit of the ne1t five months. To this request spirited opposition Is likely to develop.
 MT. Lasker's predecessors apparently did not dare ten congress the whole truth. They delayed and drifted, hoping for turn in trading and shipping ten dencies. They declined as too low vari- ous offers for tonnage. They were loath to write of depreciation aggregating billions of dollars. But that is exactly what the shipping board will have to do, and the sooner it does the better, The governments cargo ships were built during an emergency at emergency prices and with a degree of wasteful- ness that even the necessity of haste cannot fully excuse. What has happened since the armistice to world shipping through lack of cargoes is well under stood.
 Little is to be gained by lamenting past deficits, but there is no justification for deficits in the future if they car possibly be avoided. Courage and frank dealing with congress and the public viii facilitate tho solution of the shipping boards serious problem.

Tke chief numerical element in the population is made Hp of the civilized Indians, numbering about lsS00U00 who live for the most part in the upland plains and on the mountain slopes. The number of wild Indians in the tropi- cal jungles is not separately known. In addition to the Indians there is a large number of mixed Indian and Spanish stock. These together with the relatively few inhabitants of pure Spanish descent have largely control- led the political fortunes of Peru.
 @The eomplexity Of the racial make up of Peru has been increase by the importation in the past of large num- Der of negro laborers, and later Chi nese coolies. These have intermsrried with each other and with the Indians bringing about the existance in parts of the country of unusual hybrid types

In carrying out the provisions of the war risk act relative to payments of all lotments and family allowance, which features ceases to bo effective after July 31, the bureau of war risk insurance has, from November 1, 1917 to June 30, 1921, mailed out 1s,4S7,5O3 allotment and all lowance checks amounting to $6O4, ,o32,- so2.s7. 1t is announced by Director Forbes
 This diseentinuance of payments of all letments and family allowances by op- eration of law on July s1, 1921, means that neither allotment nor allowance will be paid by the war risk bureau covering any period from or after August l, 1921. but does not preclude on an amount of allotment or allowance, or both, due an allottee covering any period between November 1, 1917 and July 21, 1921, which may be made at any time here after by the bureau of War Risk Insur- ance.
 An ordinary letter asking for payment of any allotment or allowance due with in this period is a sufficient written ap- plication. In calling up case. however. care should be taken to give the full name and address of the enlisted man. army serial number and the allotment number of the case, also the full name and present address of the writer The communication should set forth briefly, 1 but as definitely as possible, the reasons why the. allottee believes payments in | the case are due.
 After August 1. 1921 all allotments of pay made by enlisted men will be vol i untary and will be made under reguia- tions to be prescribed by the secretary of war or the secretary of the navy, as the case may be and in the future no fam fly allowance will be paid:

His acceptance of the post would solve one of the ad- ministration's vexatious problams and his influence would go far to remedy the cleavage that Filipino political agitators have so far succeeded in fomenting that there is need now for conference to examine into the causes of unrest and friction.
 But Philadelphians believe that the qualities that equip General Wood for a post in the Philippines are just what are needed to be applied to the problems that the expansive and intensive forces of the University will look to him to solve. Having definitely committed him self to accept the chief command of the University, they believe that he will como and that 1t Is absurd to suggest that he knows his own mind so little that he can no wbe diverted from his chosen course.

 Actually the long, stiff upper lip de- notesl permanent personal characteristics almost identical
 This type of lip shows a decided ten- dency to be independent of what other people think. More than this, there is a certain amount of indifference denoted.
 The degree in which these qualities are measured, however. is not entirely by the actual length of the lip between the nose and the red part, but to a large extent by its shape, in profile If it bulges between the nose and the red part, this Independence more likely than not amounts to extreme self-saesSaetion.

 T have the accurate dope now on just when to go fishing" said a man who expects to take a vacation soon. I talked to . man last week and he said if 1 wished to do any good, to fish from 12 midnight to in the morning. He used frogs and dobson and caught lots of bass and also pickerel at that time. Besides it isn't hot then.
 Talked to a man Monday and he told me the best time to fish was from sunup until ten o'clock, and from about D. m. until dark.
 There was another neighbor of mine who gave me good advice. He never fishes after dark, but says he never paid any attention to the heat and that he al- ways caught as many fish in the middle of the day as he did early in the morning or in the cool of the evening.
 So you see, I. know just when to dc my fishing"

WOOD AND THE PHILIPPINES.

Philadelphia is stirred up over the re- cent reports that General Wood is look ing kindly upon the suggestion from Washington that he remain in the Philip pines and help to get them out of the muddle into which they have come in the eight years that MT. Harrison has been governor general For be it remembered that General Wood has accepted the presidency of the University of Pennsyl- vsnia, and 1t Is late in the day to make a change.
 Circulation of rumors that he will all low himself to be defected from his com mitment to the university are ascribed in Philadelphia to the generals politi- cal enemies. who have as little use for him in the Philippines as they have for him at home.
