ExTRAvACANCE IN LIVING AND LOWERING OF MORALS CREATES
 CRISIS OF AGES SAYS LAWYER

DIES MONIES, la, June 23.-The year of 1921 marks crisis of the ages" the Hon. Ernest l.. Tustin. president of the Northern Baptist convention, and a well known lawyer of Philadelphia, declared today in his opening address at the 14th an nual convention of Northern Baptists in session in this city.
 He laid emphasis upon the great extravagances in living" the "deplor- able lowering of morals in our so- cial life," the ''moral degeneration and let-down in the habits of oar young people," the morals in our local politics perhaps lower than ever before' and the "non-ehurch,go- ing and non-religious people, whose knowledge of the sacraments is chiefly confined to those of marriage and Of death," as evidence of such crJsis. There is, he dacla.ed, "a clear, distinct call throughout the land for the unification of all forces # Christianity to consider the great questions confronting the political. business and religious world.
 Countless thousands of ou- pco- ple are running beyond their means, sno living without the econocl,c care and saving of our forefathers, MT. Tustin said. There has come into the minds of the many desire for equality of condition. In bus ness lines, the whole assumption seems to be-get money; get it honestly if possible; but get money. In our To- cal politics the morale is lower per haps today than ever before. In nearly every city of our country the word of the boss is supreme.
 As an evidence of, the lowering of our social morals. MT. Tustin cites the terrible indictment" of young women, contained in the advice re gently given by another denomina tion, which charged them not t0 swear, to give up drinking. quit gambling, refrain from immodest dress. and stop joyriding. He said that there was an "equal moral de generation and let-down in the hab it's of our young men,"
 The cure. he said, can come only "by a united effort of all Protestant ism"

a man says: Darn 'em. what's the
matter with women. anyway?
Well, 10 be exact and frank. there is
about million things the matter with
them. The principle thing that ails
women is that they are human, and
therefore fun of faults and frailties.
Hence. tempers and temperament, and
extravaganza and vanity. and nagging
and unreason, and matters OF that sort.
A poor thing at best. but when men
are tempted 10 criticize the weaknesses
Of the feminine sex, let them never lose
sight of the fact that Eve was created

women are. men have made them.
Every woman represents the desires,
the tastes, the ideals. the teachings
of thousands of generations Of men,
and IL men don't admire the results
of their handiwork. they have nobody
but themselves 10 blame.
A great deal is said about women's s
influence over man. Piffe! 1t is neg
ligible compared TO mans influence
over woman. woman's influence over
man is the slow attrition of the glacier
that in the course OF few centuries
polishes smooth a small spot on q
granite cliff: but mans influence over
woman is that of the potter over the
clay in his hands that he can form
into the shape he wills.
Man gives into woman in small
things to please her, but woman or
ders her whole life TO please man.

Of all they have attained and their
alleged freedom, man still hands out
the prize packages in life, and woman
is still dependent on him. Her good
times and her success still are con-
tingent on her finding favor in his
eyes.
A girl may be pretty and bright and
beautifully, dressed and have all the
backing that money and family can
give her. but, unless she makes the
right grade with boys. she will be a
wall flower and wish she were dead
A woman may have every quality
under the sun that would at her To
make an ideal wife. but, unless she
