SEX DISCRIMINATION.

1t is an old problem coming down to US from Eden,
this matter of blame where man and woman are in
Nyolved- There is a record of the testimony as to the
apple and as we recall it, it was not entirely to the
credit of the chivalry of the man. Be that as it may.
The incident is long past and there are present day
problems insisting upon solution, and the Buffalo En-
qurrer does its best with this result:
Among the things which do not stand to reason is
the universal disposition to blame the male of the
species in all reprehensible matters in which the sexes
are equally culpable.
Here is the matter Of driving motor vehicles with
one hand. The Connecticut inspectors who threaten
TO arrest men who are caught steering with one hand
while the arm attached to the other is around the
waist of a girl say nothing about arresting the girl
who lends her waist to that dangerous practice. II the
Girls would not allow il, the men would not do it. As
a matter of fact, the girl who consents is more to
blame than the man who succumbs. Any man who
has yielded to the situation will admit that to him.
SELF, though he refuses to tell it to the world.
Here, too, is the matter of spooning on Park lake.
Spooning takes two and it is a ffty-ffty affair. vet
1t is always the young man in the canoe who is picked
out for punishment This discrimination is of long
standing, and it is to be feared it will be of longer
standing before anything is done about it."

THE OF EVE.

Having exhausted the possibilities of skirts and
blouses; having monopolzed preferred position in all
the illustrated newspapers and magazines for a long
period; having driven most folks to the use of smoked
glasses and binders, and having fed curiosity to the
point of safety, fair femininity is now exploiting
knickerbockers.
While there could be a great deal said in favor of
the adoption of the style it were better to remain ST.
lent and conserve breath and effort. If the fad ap-
peals it will sweep the country like an epidemic or a
crime wave and no force or power will be able to curb
it or even retard its progress until it has run its course
or a newer mode enters a bid for feminine favor.
1t may, with perfect propriety, be observed that the
general tendency of the knickerbocker outfit is not
toward disrobing and therefore entirely appropriate
and comfortable for winter wear, although it is pos
sible for daring ones to modify by change and elm
ination and preserve to large extent the familiar dis
play of recent seasons.
Early experiments have met with considerable pub
lie favor, possibly because of the novelty. Whether
a crisis is impending and we are about to witness the
passing of the fig leaf and a assumption of regular
clothes cannot be forecast at the present stage of de
velopment. Hopes or fears are idle. Time, only, viii
reveal. Hold your breath and cross your fingers.

SPEAKING or AnLuTIoNs.

There is much to be said for the daily bath. It con-
tributes largely to the comfor and wellbeing of the
person who observes this rite of personal cleanliness.
Frequent bathing removes the wastes from the body
which come to the surface through the pores of the
skin. The removal of these wastes, which are prfn-
cipally poisonous matter, co-operates to the health of
the individual and keeps the functions of the skin in
normal working order and in conformity to the science
of good health
The daily bath has come not to be a luxury but a
necessity of the civilized man. While there are many
who do not realize or appreciate the value of a daily
scrubbing is no argument against what science and OBJ
servation have taught.
The ignorant fear, or old superstition which has SO
long prevailed, that frequent bathing is weakening,
, 1921-09-10

and therefore to be avoided will be corrected BY your
family doctor or anyone else who pauses long enough
to think
It is asserted by those who have for many years d.
rected the handling of hospital patients and measures
of sanitation, that even so dangerous . plague upon
the human family as tuberculosis, could be washed
away by the simple process of the daily bath religious
ly observed by two generations
In any event and in all events, personal cleanli-
ness is in no sense detrimental and is to be ecour-
aged Water is plentiful and soap is cheap and il
bath fixtures are lacking, use the horse trough.

DO THEY PAY THE BILL1

During the campaign for highway bonds it was ex-
planned that the automobiles owned in the state would
care for the entire debt created. The people were
given this assurance by more than one of the state Of
hcials urging the people to vote for the issue.
In the state levy there is an item of .05o mills for
bond fund and interest Natrona county is paying
the sum Of s3o.634 on this account 1t would seem

II DAILY PAPER.

1--WE miss the water when the well runs dry" re-
marks the Philadelphia Ledger, "and we miss the daily
paper when we are deprived of it, though we may
have found various things to say in its dispraise when
1t was readily procurable. The figures given out by
the census bureau (as for 191s) show that it is diff
hcuit anywhere in the United States to miss . daily
newspaper, that comes as an open letter from all the
habitable globe TO the reader, even when every other
correspondent fails him.
THE 2,43s daily papers send out 80. 735. 1887 copies
a day-enough to provide mental pabulum for a third
of the whole population. In a year the total mounts
to 11,270,559, 316. Even to- Harold Bell Wright,
Zane Grey or Gene Stratton Porter that might seem
a considerable sale.
The Sunday newspapers number nearly 600, and
thetr combined circulation is nearly 20, 900, 900 week
ly. In other words, Sunday papers numbering less
than a quarter of the number of daily papers, sell
nearly two-thirds as many copies The sales Of all
newspapers aggregate about $500, 0O0,0 900 annually,
and the advertisements bring in about twice as much.
II it is a favorite fiction that advertiser control edi-
torial policy and opinion-which is true only Of an oc-
casional journal that disgraces its professional is
also a frequently cherished Illusion thst the reader
when he spends two cents is defraying the entire cost
of publication. What other commodity on earth yields
a return so large for an investment so little? What
else can one purchase for two cents?"

DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement 10 Probably the Most An.
Client Game, According TO Records
Of Old Writers.

The oldest amusement In the world
Is dlce-throwing.
In some form or another, dice have
existed In every period Of history.
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments. and some dug up at
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those In use today. They are men-
toned In laws regulating games
played In ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries In Europe.
The invention Of dice is attributed
to Palamedes. one Of the heroes who
sailed against Troy. about the year
1914 B. c.. but the use Of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purposes
ID probably much earlier.
Frequent passages In the works OF
ancient writer's and numerous repre-
sentations In marble and paintings
show how popular dlce-playing was
among them.

the wagon containing the children.

Rail Situation

The strike on the 1nternation-
al and Great Northern started
today when more than 200 train
men in the yards at San An
tonic, Houston and Palestine quit
as the whistles blew for noon.
They signalled the initial walk
out in the national strike.
Union officials said that sew
eral hundred would be out be-
fore night fall and that the total
would not be known until all re-
ports on the roads were heard
from.
The I. and G. ~. trainmen
who struck include brakemen
and switchmen. Approximate
ly 500 men OF this union are en-
ployed by the road.
The 1. and G. N railroad is
the first Of the country's rail-
roads ordered by brotherhoods
to be affected by the general
strike scheduled to get under
way October 80.
More than 1000 guards sprang
into life in the yards OF the I.
and G. N. from Longview to
Laredo as the strikers walked
out. They had been employed
by the company to protect its
property.
