t of Sites.

The Commissioners early this sum
mer will purchase two Fairgrounds
under the terms of the appropriation
act which becomes effective July ].

ent Park View ground. and 81 900 10
buy playground in place of the
Logan recreation field. at sd and G.
streets northeast.
Both of these Fairgrounds are pr
vately owned and it is probable the

since the Fairgrounds department
already has them laid off and equip
ped for recreational purposes.
There are three other Fairgrounds
-Gallinger. Columbia Heights and
Rose Park-which are privately own
ed and liable to be withdrawn from
use by the owners. An item for the

Mind and Muscle

Oh, forty learned professors
toiled on, the long years
through; they were not cheap
john guessers-they knew the
things they knew; the midnight
oil was burning that they might
gather learning; all dissipations
spurning, they delved where
knowledge grew. They toiled
while vain carousers assailed
the winners watts, and they
wore baggy trousers and prehis-
toric hats; for men of learning
never get much for their en-
deavor; the coins for fellows
clever at punching others Stats.
The fighter meets a fighter, eN-
changing foolish swats; and
then the winning blighter with
Col. Croesus trots; who would
not be bruiser, when cen
the battered loser becomes
wealthy snoozer, and buys some
city lots? A Dempsey calmly
seizes two hundred thousand
bones for whipping sundry
cheeses or inefficient drones
but, oh, the men of learning!
They always are returning to
pawnshops with a yearning to
get some transient loans. They
soak their books of knowledge,
they soak their COWS and cats;
their sons must go to college,
their wives must have new hats ;
their income is so slender each
wears but one suspender; pugs
get the legal tender for slug
ging domes and Stats.

does not come forth from the bic thea
trical centers that this or tn1t prod &C.

ness. \. b. Marcus, judging by the
lavish outlay evidenced in "Cluok!
Cluck!" which is the title of the 1921
Marcus Show due at the Rivoli Thea
tire, Tuesday night, November l, for
one performance only, does not fear
bankruptcy as a result of his enter
prise.
In fact, Marcus is operating on the
theory that show almost double in
size and cost of operation, as compared
with previous seasons, at prices that
don't make the poke look like a pune
tured inner tube, will serve to wrest
enough of the elusive frog skins from
the hands of their holders to make the
season of 1921-22 real reward for
fighters. That is the PLAIN business
reason why the best seats during the
engagement at the Rivoli Theatre will
retail at not in excess of $2.75.
There were many producers during
tho war period and for some months
thereafter who tilted their scales of
admission beyond all reason. 1t was
not a case of cost of operation but
rather gouging the public for all the
traffic would bear. Marcus, FORUM
ately for his continued standing in the
eyes of the theatregoing public, has
eyes of the theatre going public, has
capacity audiences and moderate but
almost certain profits.
In times of financial stress, such
as these. it appears If the stacks of
mail orders that have inundated the
Rivoli Theatre boX-office can lie ac-
cepted as a criterion, that the Marcus
idea is well founded.

ENGLAND HAS SURPLUS
Of WOMEN CITIZENS
BY EARL c. REEVES
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.


LONDON, oct. 27.-The problem |
of Englands surplus" women, which |
has been causing much concern since |
the toll of war was revealed, has been
increased, in the public interest by
publication of the 1921 censes fig
ures.
Two million surplus women-what
shall be done with them? has been the
general theme of the printed and spo-
ken discussion of the problem.
The census, however, REVEALED that
this was popular round number, and
the actual excess of females over
males is one and three-quarters. Inc
pre-war figures revealed a dispropor-
tionment of a million and "A quarter
Hence it is proved that the problem
of surplus" womankind has only
been increased by half million, or, in
| other words, by the number of men
who gave their lives in the great war.
Nature is correcting this inequality
herself, experts point out, as the latest
birthrate figures show a marked in
crease in the "purality'' which boys
register over the girl birthrate. The
anonymous author of women Ad-
rift" contributing to the press dis
cussion, points out that building the
empire fighting for the empire and
undertaking its more hazardous occu-
pations has caused the discrepancy in
, numbers.
Mature sees that there shall be a
Jack for every Jill, she writes, for
she starts with a male balance that
would cover all this extra wastaSe, ii
only one thing We're done to keep the
balance straight-and that one thing
is that a more competent motherhood
would keep the boy babies alive, for
the male surplus disappears within
the first five or seven years.
Resent "Surplus" Term.
The writer strides out strongly
against the dominant note of previous
discussion, which has been that the
solution, from the point of view of
women is that all girls be trained for
vocations other than motherhood and
/ home making so that they may have
an interest IN life and live fully in the
] event that they are not selected for
marriage. Such a procedure, the au-
/ thor of women Adrift" argues would
only make women less attractive and
| increase the number of men who re.
main bachelors.
The surplus" woman herself has
not rested passive under so much
pro-ing and con-ing. She has spoken
with no uncertain voice against being
Iput under - microscope for public
analysis. She denies the allegation, in
! fact.
SO many letters of protest against
| the discussion We're written by girls
and women that two or three of the
newspapers finally ran them in job
/ lots, daily feature for several days.
The denals of "surplosity" have
made helpful reading for men folk.
The general tone of the letters has
been that the writer doesn't feel her
self to be surplus" in any way, she's
/ having u perfectly good time with life,
she has interests, and all manner Of
things, She cites bicycles, kodaks,
| flowers, fields, scenery chums, cows,
dogs-as filling her life and satisfac-
torily and no need for men.
The controversy has produced an
