MRS. SOLOMON SAYS:
BY HELEN ROWLAND

What have we done, oh We Flappers and ye
short-haired damsels of Babylon?
For alas, in the love-game, ye have volun-
tarily changed sides with men! Lo, in the
chase, the hare hath turned, and pursueth
the fox
And the fox fleeth in dismay!
Verify, verify, it hath come to pass that
man no longer counteth his popularity, by the
number of damsels who he hath WON, but
by the number of damsels whom he hath RE-
FUSED
No longer doth he measure his conquests
by the number of maidens whom he hath
KISSED, but by the number of maidens
whose kisses he hath RESISTED.
No longer doth he appraise his charms.
according to the number of damsels who
have shared his motorcar,. but according to
the number Of damsels who have taken him
motoring!
Behold, my Daughters, have watched
you at your work; and my head reeleth with
thinking and mine eyes are dazzled with see
ing.
For, surely, surely, ye know not the obli-
cation Of a Wooer!
Go to! If woman becometh the pursuer in
e 10, J-c,ase, will damsel play her roles
20 scholar and lady?
VIII she be CHIVALROUS and kind and
enaar to all men and consider their frailty
and weakness?
Will she promise ever to be thoughtful OF
mans little wishes and indulgent to his
little caprices?
Will she not tempt him beyond his
strength, when he ressteth her caresses, nor
seek to kiss him against his will?
Will she refrain from strong language in
his presence and forbear to blow cigarette
smoke in his eyes.
Will she defend him from all OTHER
women, and protect him, even from HER
SELF?
And, when she asketh him to let her share
his name, will she first make sure that she
fo MIL of n nUnY
And, likewise, my Daughter, If women be-
come wooers will men become charmers and
sirens, and vie one with another, for femi-
nine attentions?
Will youth strive to be modest in his
apparent and his demeanor, and forbear I'd
use his eyes too boldly?
Will he refuse to flrt with damsel I'd
whom he hath not been properly introduced
and scorn to dance with damsel who clasp
eth his shoulders too tightly?
Will he cultivate all those little arts and
graces which endear him to the feminin@
heart
Will he keep his lips unkisseu and higy
heart untouched for the damsel who will
some day do him the honor to ask him toi
marry her?
Alas, alas, let us pray that this may be!
For, behold, in the Lovegame, Somebody
must be alluring!
SOMEBODY must preserve the charm, an
the gIamor and the mystery and the thrilNS
and the romance of life.
And, if women scorn to do this thing; tfe
damsels are holder than lions, then mus
men be shyer than fawns, and gentler thar
doves.
For, 10, already hath LOVE lost too man,
of it's thrills!
And courtship, as it was in novels an
young vision, is no more!
But the Flapper floateth in her folly%
knowing not what she hath MISSED!
For, to be WOOED is a woman's birtH7
right!
Shall she sell it for a Fad?

SURPRISES IN WAR
By DR.. Frank Crane

1t is a persistent belief that wars will be
won by surprises. Each side tries to get hold
OF some new weapon and thus strike terror
to it's opponent.
tonished the Aztecs, gunpowder terrorized the
saVages, siege guns rendered forts and walls
useless, the ironclad man-o'-war drove away
the wooden batteships such as Nelson had,
the machine gun moved troops down like
wheat instead of picking them off like pig
cons, the submarine threatens the ironclad
(and they say if Germany had had 800
submarines at the outset of the war Eng
land would lave been conquered), the tanks

reach of projeCtiles indefinitely (and if air
planes can be guided by wireless, and carry
no men, but only explosives, there is no rea-
son why an operator sitting in Toxic cannot
send flock Of 500 planes to America and
blow out of existence, one after another, San
francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and
so on), but, most significant of all, when the
Germans let loose cloud of poison gas in the
second battle Of Ypres they probably changed
the whole course Of warfare for the future.
In the next war one army will not start out
to fight another. That process will be as an
tiquated as the method Of King Arthur's day.
of settling the issue by a joust between two
armored knights
No. In the next war, the one so many gen.
tIemen are industriously preparing between
Japan and the United Stales for instance, or
in any other war between first-class powers,
each nation will try to, eXterminate the other.
Not soldiers only, but men, women, chill
dren, cattle, and crops must be killed.
The idea IS Anticipated that some methods
of fighting are so barbaric and horrible as to
be ruled out by mutual agreement.
There is no longer such a thing as civilized
war.
With 19141918 fresh in our memory, we
do not hesitate to say that each party in the
next war will seek surprise
Which means two things: first. that Inter-
| national Law will be disregarded
Second, that the Surprise will be Chemical
Nobody, not even by agreed reduction of
ornaments, can prevent Chemical Prepara-
tions for war, which can be made under color
of industry.
And a war of poison gases would be a hun
| dred times more deadly and diabolical than
| the last war
| But you cannot stop it.
That is, in any other way than by organiz-
! ing the World to prevent war, and by an in
| ternational gendarmerie.
Because war gravitates naturally toward
determination, not conquest.
You cannot prevent armies from hitting
| below the belt, because ffom now on war will
all be hitting below the belt.

On Shutting PROSPERITY Out
1.-THE country's best business JUDGMENT,

TENt1E cOuntryS best business Judgment re-
gardless Of party bias keeps condemn
ing the unwisdom of the FOrdney tariff
bill. Mr.. Otto H. Kahn, speaking from nat
ure cosmopolitan experience and on the
strength of impression freshly gathered in a
visit to Europe, declares: eff we want the
foreigner to buy from us, we must be willing
that he should sell to u.s. We can not eat our
cake and have 1t. Trade, in the long run,
can not be a one-sided matter of sensational
export balances
That trainers of legislation involving our
widest economic welfare should ignore truths
SO plain and so important seems past believ-
ing. Yet, repeatedly the contrivers of the
Fordney bill, jealous to serve their party s
mammon masters, have proposed import du-
ties the effect of which would be disastrous
to essential and highly enriching branches of
the nations foreign commerce. Bad enough
would be the increased burden of living costs,
imposed just when consumers are catching a
breath of relief. But worse would be the eff
feet on trade, on industry, and on those
world conditions to which we must look for
prosperous future
Struggling back to normal activities, the
War-weakened countries of Europe need
American materials and products, from raw
| cotton, foodstuffs and minerals to sundry
manufactures. But how can they continue
to buy, depleted as is their gold reserve and
| loaded as they are with debts, unless they
can sell? And what would it profit our
manufacturers to be protected" against
| foreign competition at home, if that very
process deprived them Of their best markets
abroad. Protection there undoubtedly ought
to be for a key industry like the making Of
dyestuffs, when it is threatened with cut
threats. But the Fordney plan to build a
tariff wall to keep prosperity in would result
| only in keeping it out. The House made

The Franklin Street Congregational church
society, a rich congregation, has placed an
advertisement in Boston papers as follows
pastor wanted for prominent New Eng
land Congregational church in an inland city.
Must be one who has been successful as
preacher, pastor, organizer and church eXecu-
tive. Good salary. Wealthy society. Attrac-
tive edifice centrally located and fine field for
work.
Colonel Arthur e. Clark, one of the church
leaders, admitted that the advertisement had,
not met with the approval Of all the members,
but, he added, "theS have not had the expe-
rience of CHANGING over thirty candidates
without success, as I have"
Clark said he had been to Boston, Newark,
IN. j.; several New England cities, and even
to Chicago, in his hunt for the desirable man.
The Rev. W. B. Lockhart, who served sew
eral years, was made pastor emeritus when
he resigned last fall
The church wants an ''up-to- date, live wire

Around the World
Tri-WeekLy News Flashes From All Over
the Earth.
Dollar Declines

The decline of the dollar premium on
the European money markets is predicted IN
London as the consequence of excellent Eu-
ropean harvests and the large stocks OF cot
ton accumulated on this side.
The closing months of this years purchases
of American foodstuffs and raw materials are
expected to show much smaller volume than
usual.
The stock exchange developed frmer tone
during the last week, leading industrials ben
citing by better trade advices. One OF the
best features Argentine Rails, all OF
which were quoted substantially higher as a
result Of increased earnings and lower oper-
ating costs
There has been a revival in the price OF
oil shares, but the market is beginning to talk
of big war between the Standard Oil group
and the Royal Dutch.
Kaffir market remains animated with it's
quotations holding up. Despite heavy profit
taking diamond shares are beginning to be
favorab1y affected by the gold mines boom.
Debt Grows
An increase of 1851 ,092,658 in the public
debt during August is announced by the treas
ury.
On July 81 the public debt stood at $751;
I'll, ,0S8, as compared with $23,922,329,.
666 at the end Of August. The increase dur
ing the month, treasury officials explained,
was due principally to issuance of treasury
certificates in excess Of maturities and the
fact that August is not month in which
tax payments are made.
,'HA
Gotham's Unemployed
New York's unemployment problem, as dis
closed by an investigation conducted by the
Tribune, is due largely to the presence OF
idle transients.
Forty per cent of the city's army Of unem-
ployed, or 900 out of $1,000, are men
whose homes are elsewhere.
Only small proportion of the $4,000 un.
employed ex-service men are residents.
A total of $4,000 seamen are among the
visiting unemployed. OF these, at least $4,000
are aliens who prefer to be idle in New York
rather than in their home ports.
Some Of the idle sojourning here admit
they are waiting for cooler weather before
they take jobs open for them at home.
Officials engaged in relief work assert that
the situation would be only slightly above the
| normal of pre-war times if the out-of-town
| idle could be eliminated.
