WOMAN s IDEAL
Psychologists Attribute Young
Girls immortality to Lure
of the Primal.
by international News Service.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Is the ap-
peal Of the caveman psychology re-
sponsible for the Turing of young
women into vice and crime? This
solution is suggesting itself to
psychologists and students OF the so
cial problems by the published details
of several sensational sex crimes in
France and America which have at
tracted international attention.
Psycho-analysts who have studied
the case of DIR. Abraham Glickstein,
the Brooklyn physician, who was
shot by a former mistress, point out
that force was alleged to have been
used in the first place. In France
Landru, convicted as a "Bluebeard."
who killed ten women, has remained
the hero of. Partisan girls dreams.
One Of the women Landru had lured
to his home and who have managed
to escape was present at the trial,
but manifested no ill-will against the
great criminal.
The courtroom at Versailles was
crowded with girls and young women
who wished the French "Bluebeard"
the best of luck. A woman corre-
spondent at the trial has thus set
down her impressions of flapper psy-
chology.
"The scene about me is too like
the pit of a theater between the acts,
and 1t needs only few girls in cap
and apron. carrying trays of choco-

NO BRITISH EMPIRE IN
100 YEARS, WELLS HOPE

LONDON, Dec. 26.-'I hope and
believe that 100 years hence there
will be no British Empire. Either it
will have played its part in the de-
velopment of civilization and have
changed into and given place to a
much larger union of free States, or
1t will have become danger and a
nuisance to mankind, and have fol-
lolwed German Imperialism and Ro-
man Imperialism to the dust heap"
This is II. G.. Wells opinion of the
British Empire a hundred years
hence. 1t was read as a message
from him at a dinner given by the
Delphian Coterie, when the subject
the consideration was 1.-THE Empire

CHICAGO SEEN STRlDlNC
TO CULTURED DOMINATION

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-Chicago, to
many persons, suggests a pig-st.ck.
ing community, big, prosperous. yet
hacking in culture and in most ways
crude.
But
Hear DR.. Walter Dill Scott, presi-
dent of Northwestern University:
Chicago has unusual educational
facilities. There are six colleges or
universities, nine theological schools,
eight law schools, six medical schools.
and three dental schools. ...-.
Chicago boasts two universities
listed by the Association of American
Universities. No other American
city can boast Of more than one.
Chicago ranks second in the libra
ries of the country, Washington be-
ing first.
Chicago is the center of medical
culture and the center of dental in.
struction. Chicago is also an art
center. And although New York has
led for years in the publications field,
Chicago is gradually supplanting the
Eastern city. Even now Chicago is
recognized as the leader In agricul.
tural and trade journals and journals
devoted to higher learning"

.BARR|STERS IN
BRITAIN OPPOSE
WOMAN LAWYER
Odd Form of Dress Is Being Ad-
vocated in Effort to Curb
Legal Aspirations.
BY international New. Service.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Though women
lawyers are no longer a novelty In
progressive America. they are still
fighting for recognition by the Eng
lish bar. The opponents OF female
barristers have now resorted to an
astute move calculated to prevent
them having fun equanty with their
male colleagues, even after they have
been formally admitted by the
learned wigs.
A suggestion is being circulated
that the benchers of the four Inns
OF Court are DESTROYS OF making the
Queen the first woman barrister Ito
be called" No possible objection
arises 30 far as this part of the
plan is concerned. for Her Majesty
work in connection with women has
always been Of SO distinguished and
enlightened a character that she
might well become the prototype Of
English women barristers.
The suggestion. however. does not
end there. nor is this worthy idea the
complete purpose of It's begetter. 1t
is thought that IL the women barris'
tiers are forced by the authorities into
wearing a costume not Identical with
that of the men, then the public will
discriminate between men and women
advocates and will suppose that the
women barristers are not upon the
same professional plane as the men.
1t Is hoped to persuade the queen to
copy the sort Of costume which Miss
Ellen Terry and other stage Portals
wear when acting In THE Merchant
of Venice"
The biretta was the proper garb in
that case, because 1t was worn IN
Italy in Portals day, and, for that
matter, still is. English women, how
ever, are not about to be called to
the bar at Venice. 1t is. therefore,
most earnestly to be hoped that IL
the Queen should honor the English
bar by becoming its first woman mem
Der she will not be led unconsciously
into q plan which has az it's true
objective the humiliation of the
women who have worked 80 hard to
enter it by the more prosaic route of
study and examination.
The suggested biretta has another
and a very serious objection. Its use
in this country is now consecrated to
the Roman Catholic and Anglican
Catholic priesthood. 1t would be most
unfair to force upon women barristers
a headgear which would at once bring
them into conflict with ecclesiastical
circles.
The reproduction of an old print o.
a celebrated eighteenth century &C
tress, Miss Pope, as Portia, playing to
Macklin's Shylock. shows her in the
traditional garb of the English bar
and II n" ina tf1s historic attire that
the wofneh H6% shortly to enter the
professor should perform their i'm
portant functions.

Hundred Million for
Toys Spent In u. S.
In Poor Trade Year

More than a hundred million dol
lars has been expended for toys by
the people of the United States even
In this year Of economies, 1921. The
factory value of toys manufactured
in the United States according to
The National City Bank, more than
trebled when the war cut us off from
that former chief source Of our toy
imports, Germany, and the value of
the toys and games" turned out by
our factories in 1919 the latest CEN
sus year, is officially stated at $780,
100000 against $14,OO0,00O in 1914.
Meantime the imports of toys.
which fell from SIS, 900, 900 in the year
prior to the war to a little more than
81 900, 900 in the year of its close,
and $4,000, 000Tfn 1921 so that the
imports of toys in 1921 were actually
greater in value than in any year
preceding the war.
Larger Capital Invested.
While this unexpectedly prompt
inflow Of toys from foreign countries
has somewhat reduced the outturn of
the toy factories of the United States.
the fact that the capital engaged in
the industry advanced from over &c.,
600, 900 in 1914 to s25 100000 in 1919
suggests that the outturn of our own
factories in 1920-21, plus that of the
doll factories which are not included
in the group plus the importation in
1921 Of 100000 900 dolls and toys from
abroad, with an aggregate factory
valuation of over 100000 900. must
have cost the ultimate purchaser
fully $100,000,000 in 1921.
In one particular line Of the toy
industry and trade the holiday sea-
son finds distinct shortage, namely
that of dolls. The number of doll
factories in the United States greatly
increased following the opening of
the war. upon the assumption that
the absence Of the supply formerly
drawn from Germany would greatly
intensity the demands of the home
market, but with the close of the war
and the prospect of big imports from
Germany and other countries many
of the doll factories in the United
States closed down.
Shortage of Dolls.
The expected increase in importa-
ton of dolls did not materialize as
rapidly as had been anticipated, and
as a consequence the holiday trade
finds an extreme shortage in this
class of goods.

BAD HABITS SEEMINGLY SET
Famous Raider, Moewc, Though Now Engaged in Peaceful Trading, Con-
 tinues Career of Damage

Although she has been rechristened and is now devoted to peaceful pur- suits, the old Moewe once notorious as a German raider, cannot reform her bad habits. She rammed and sank the FormDy lightship Planet, near the Mersey bar.
 The Moewe is now the Green Brier. She was outward bound from the Mersey to Teneriffe and was proceed ing along the main channel when something went wrong with her steer ing gear and she smashed into the Planet one of the three lghtShipS stationed near the mouth of the Ier- sey and familiar to American and all other navigatCrs.
 Although the Green Brier's captain kept his steamers head in the light ships breach, q flood of water poured into the Planet and she soon sank. Her crew of six narrowly escaped. The Green Brier's bows were so dam aged she returned for repairs.
 The Green Brier, under the name of Moewe and commanded by Capt Count Nicholas von DOhna Scholo- dien, for long time terrorized pas senger and cargo-carrying vessels in the Atlantic and as a result of her operations British and allied shipping suffered extensively. The MOewe proved most elusive and defied all efforts at capture during long career.
 Her original name was Punga. She made her first trip to the West Indies under the British flag and Messrs. Elders and Fyffe's ownership from Newcastle about Is months after the armiStice.
