Congress viii consider giving
women full equality. Various
kinds Of stupidity and super,
stition win fight against that.
Some object to the suggestion
that women have full property
rights--now denied in various
States -others viii resent vio-
lently the suggestion that women
have scare and custody Of chill
dren, whether legitimate or
illegitimate, and control Of earn
inss and services Of such chill
dren."
II man educates q bull pup,
teaches it to bite strangers, roll
over, play dead, etc, It ia HIS
pup. When woman creates .
child, raises, nurses, and teaches
It, 1t ought to be her child.
Some old religions taught that
woman had no soul. Progress
Is slow.
Mr.. Hopkins, chairman Of
COMMITTEES OF 49," kindly Offers
this suggestion:
"Tell European nations that
II they will disarm we'll do 90
in the same proportion, and in
addition, we'll forgive them their
debts to us-all IL they disarm
entirely, Pro-rata if they disarm
Do YOU see any reason
why this nation should bribe
Europeans and Asiatics to stop
committing suicidei Would
they not-after Q little while,
with their debts wiped out
come back for more money, say
ing: =,
against YOU?"
Better spend our money on .
reasonable supply OF flying ma
chimes, submarines, ETC., and
take no risks.
While we talk our sweet piati-
tudes, worthy Of q village store
keeper trying to keep out Of .
quarrel and 70 on weighing sugar,
field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson,
chief Of Englands imperial gem
erai staff, says that, whatever else
happens, England must keep ready
always to make poison gas and
ether war necessities.
Do It &C cheaply a. you can, but
KEEP READY. should be this
country's motto. With. wide ocean
trenches on either side Of us, 1t
need not be expensive, il we mind
our business, build flying ma
chimes and submarines, not allow
inn whits-Ieggsd old fogies OF the
quarter deck to insist ON battle
ship reliance for love or MONEY.
rfk nv. Dr. strstsn, ee New
York. Who calls D spade Z spade
and 4 prize fighter q criminal, has
been attacked as "too sensations" !"
One aged reverend gentleman or
dered his name removed from DR..
Straton's stationery. A brother,
more practical, accused DR.. Straton
Of running his church into debt:
DR.. Strat6h threatens suits for
libel, but won't need them. He
has proved that the financiSfl con-
dition Of his church Is better than
ever. That's enough.
/. This writer once helped TO pub
lish news under big headlines. 1t
was a novelty and WAS sensa-
tional- Like lightning or the rain
bow. All conservative newspapers
howled. The newspaper with the
headlines easily read gained hah
n million circulation in a few
weeks. Then the newspapers
stopped howling and bought . font
Joseph Pulitzer, in whose vino
yard this writer once labored, had
said: brisbane, Brisbane, viii
not have you putting two-cclumn
headlines on the front page Of my
paper" A little later he was print
ing eiRht-column heads in red,
white and blue-but too late TO
catch up--besides which, he did
not have the right stuff back Of
the big type.
Let DR.. Straton continue to
print financial facts about the
church. They will soothe criticism.
While the Congress Of Eugenics

Small, seemingly unimportant,
but highly valuable is the new
electric light that goes on burn

turn it "out." The sixty seconds
