Going to Become
Man s Universe?
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING.


And would It be such a very nico
world after al II It should become
Just a man s world?
Just suppose that there were no
more frills Of ninon, no more lights
tooded in rose. no more soft voices.
no more little houses in which a
happy brood played and called 10 a
loved gingham-aproned somebody
for bread and jelly''-just suppose
And II this orgy OF masculinizIns
continues that is just exactly what
going 70 happen.
Because who could imagine any
child asking a knickered individual
70 seek the kitchen, slice a thick
slab OF bread. butter it generously
and then find the jelly jar to give
the combination a fascinating, taste
ful top!
Couldn't be done. And thinking
women realize it, So thinking wo-
men aren't trying TO make it a mans
world, even as 70 clothes
Mrs. Leon Stern. Terre Haute.
Ind. on the extension committee of
the National Council Of Jewish Wo-
men, says: I have an earnest con-
viction that any cause or movement
which is important enough to inter-
est women as a whole, should be
bigger than the individual-petty
dress reforms are not. They are,
when exaggerated, a form Of intense
egotism
The woman who is not unduly
thinking Of herself will not strive
for bizarre effects, but will wear the
most becoming-and surely that
would mean the most feminine
clothing suited 10 the occasion.
1 believe that only that wom-
an who translates her effort in
10 loving, unselfish, personal
service for her fellow being is
on the right track. And the
woman wearing, and wonder
ing how she looks in, Knockers
can't be doing that! Though /
should say that If an occasion
rigltfully demands nlannish
clOthing-wear it!
Miss Mabel c. Washburn, Hart
ford, Conn, president OF the Con-
necticut League OF Women Voters:
I think that the fact that women are
taking up occupations which make
it necessary for them to brave all
sorts of weather conditions makes
it desirable that they should wear
plain, sensible clothing. The fact
that their clothes resemble those OF
men would not seem TO me an inn
portant item-but actually knick
ers for ordinary wear, no!
Mrs. Helen Harrison Mills OF
Peoria, H., National Federation OF
Music Clubs. Concerning the wear
ing, by women, of Knockers and
other mannish clothes and the aping
of men-I can see no reason for 1t.
For certain sports and occupations
II may be necessary TO wear gar
ments cut on mannish lines, but 9TH
erwise. 1t is not.
Unless women have grown
ashamed of their womanly pre-
negatives and attributes, why
continually try to copy men?
Especially at this time of a sort
of moral awakening IL might be
well for women TO adhere more
closely than ever to the usual
habiliments of her sex.
Mrs. c. B. Hippie of Fall River,
Mass, socially prominent. says: No.
indeed, women should not try in the
least way to initiate men. II tests
every faculty I can bring into play
10 be a mother to my small son
Most women could live very full lives
in just being women.

ROMAN COLOSSEUM
QUESTION CLOSED
Declare Ancient Monument of
Imperial Rome is
Church.

ROME, oct. 12.-(By mail. THE
question whether the Colosseum,
that ancient monument Of imperial
Rome. where the Christian martyrs
suffered death and men fought wild
beasts to make a Roman holiday.
is a public church has again been
raised and decided. a proclamation,
attributed by some OF the Roman
newspapers to the Vatican, declares
that the famous building is a public
church.
The point was raised recently
when the Roman police prohibited
the delegates to a convention Of the
italian Catholic Young Mems asso-
citation from congregating in the
Colosseum and holding a parade
from that point to the Vatican.
The public announcement Of the
decision on this point recounts the
history Of the Colosseum from early
times. 1t states that Popes Clement
Y, Clement II. Plus Y in their pom
tificates prohibited further profan-
atoms Of the holy ground sanctihed
by the blood of the martyrs" Bene-
dict XIV. in 1856. declared il TO be
a public church.
From 1856 to 1870, masses have
been sung regularly in the Colosseum
but when Victor Emmanuel II took
possession of Rome In 1870 the
practice was discontinued.
During the war. the custom OF
holding religious services in the Co
losseum was again revived. After the
war. a requiem mass for the soldiers
who died in the great war was held
there.

CHESS WIZARD AT
9 YEARS OF AGE
Boy Marvel Plays Came to
Astonishment of Educated
Experts in America.

KANSAS City Oct 29.-Samuel
! Rzeshevski, the nine-year-old Po-
I lish Jew, who has startled the
. thinking world with his ability as
chess wizard, has arrived here. To
the casual observer who saw him
bounding along a street or through
the lobby Of the Hotel Baltimore
with energy unlimited and two
bright dashes of color in his cheeks,
he might have been Sammy Brown
or Jimmy Jones instead
But to those who saw him playing
call-shot pool with an adult ac-
quaintance, there was something un-
natural about the boy a nervous
concentration dominated every ac-
ton. He was apparently nervous as
he studied the lay of the balls on
the table
The boy appeared TO be totally un-
aware Of the presence of some two
dozen spectators who gathered 10
watch the play of the nine-year-old.
And then there was his queer
ability at the game, for which he
has developed a keen liking i'm the
four weeks since he first played at
] Los Angeles. His play might be said
! to be equal TO that of the average
! adult of many years playing. on
! his first shot he ran" eight balls
Drives Auto, Too.
But pool is just one of the many
things he is interested in. For one
he sings, and it is said that he does
very well. Then he drives motor
cars-anything from a Ford up
: and is interested and talks intelu-
gently Of their mechanism. He IS
a swimmer and baseball fan as
well.
The story of his life Is simple. He
was born in May, 1912, in Ozorhov.
Poland. Under the stress of war.
there was no opportunity for the
boy to receive elementary education.
although his father had been veal
thy before tie coming of the in
vaders. His education has been ne
elected, yet he speaks English IA
maliarly enough to be colloquial.
And then the unexplained story
of his chess career. At five he
watched his father play and learned
how to place the men" on the
board. Two months later he had a
limited reputation in his commun-
ity for brilliance. At the age of six
he played d match with 80 enthusi-
asts in his community, with the re-
suit that he won 81 Of the matches
and drew four of them.
Since then he has progressed
steadily. He never practices. ac-
cording to his manager, Charles Az
enburg, who accompanies him. In
the United States he has played
1850 matches, y Of which ne has
lost. He holds no titles because he
has been adjudged ineligible for
formal championship play in view OF
his age, his manager explained.

King George Has
Hard Luck With
His Prize Racers
Ill-Luck Has Dogged Regents
Horses, While Rank
Handicaps Him.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-One of the
most Disappointing features Of the
drawing TO a close-that is 10 the
general sporting publc-has been
the wretched il-luck which has dog
ged King Georges horses. The king,
who keeps an extensive racing stable
at Newmarket, has had this season
the modification of seeing more of
his horses finish second or third
than any owner for several years
past.
The British monarch enjoys no
privileges in racing with his subjects
Much laughter was caused when the
late Shah OF Persia was taken to a
race meeting by the late King Ed
ward and was Mortified to witness
his royal hosts entry beaten by one
OF the late Leopold de Rothschild's
horses.
The eastern ruler Immediately
asked how soon the daring COM
moner was to be execute-d-adding
that the cheers greeting the Roths-
child winner indicated that its
owner was a most dangerous sub
iect and should be quietly strangled
or drowned. The Persian shah
never quite understood why King
Edward entertained RCthschild to
dinner that night and allowed him
10 leave the table without poison
.ng him.
King Never Makes Bets.
As a matter of fact. King George
IS handicapped by his rank. for he
must not run horses for profit. Gus
tom dcrees that he must only keep
class horses and enter for certain
kinds Of races. And when he en-
ters for a big handicap. the official
Handicapped feels that he must err
rather on the severe side than the
lenient when alloting weights to the
royal horses.
King George, himself does not bet,
and except for a natural love for
and knowledge Of horses, is said TO
take little interes, in actual racing.
But he Is an enthusiastic breeder
and II is no secret that he has been
greatly disappointed over the i'll
success which has attended his care
fully selected and hOme-bred stud
Actually. his majesty has a string
Of high -CGass animals. as regard 5
breeding. but moderate as regards
performances. However. despite his
bad luck there is no foundation for
recurring rumors that King George
contemplates giving up the turf.
Chief sporting interest IS oentered
on how soon the Prince of Wales
VIII embark on a turf career The
prince prefers 70 ride his own horses
and has already competed success
fully iu several military and hunt
club steerlechase meetings But IL

A member Of the foreign trade
council who was asked where sup

that they We're probably supplies

Most Of the merchants are persons

MOSQUITOES ARE
ALASKAN PLAGUE
Women Must Even Wear Pa
per Enlargement Pro-
tectors in Hot Weather.

Alaska has millions Of mosquitoes,
but not one housefly. This is the
information that is brought back
from that territory by DR.. ]. H.
Aldrich, of the United States Ma
tional museum, who made ali insect
survey there this summer, says Sci
ence Service.
Hordes of mosquitoes during the
Alaskan summer in places as far
north as Seward and Fairbanks pro-
vide continual entertainment for the
inhabitants. who. however, do not
have to contend with the ravages OF
the domestic fly.
when the ladies OF Alaska wish
10 wearn thin and flmy silk stock
ings they have to place protective
layer of paper underneath as an ar
NOR plate against the mosquitoes"
is one story that he has 10 tell. La
borers wear mosquito nets and
heavy gloves
Smudges, An Institution.
Smudges are a national institu-
ton there. They are everywhere.
In the interior the Alaskan summer
is sufficiently warm for swimming.
But this sport must be accompanied
by a ceremony. The boys construct
a hut Of branches on the bank Of
the stream, protect II from mosqui-
toes by a smudge, and enter the exit
from the water with a mosquitode-
flying dash
Alaskan mosquitoes do not act as
carriers Of malaria and yellow fe-
yer as do those of the United States
and tropics, but they are very vic
ious They literally fill the air. In
one sweep of an insect collecting net
about his head DR.. Aldrich was able
to capture 10 mosquitoes by actual
count.
The absence of house flies in Alas
ka has raised the question as to
whether there is a northern limit TO
the house fly. Heretofore it has
been assumed that the domestic fly
accompanies man wherever life is
possible, but DR.. Aldrich's observa-
ton has thrown a new light on the
subject.
House Fly Absent.
The absence of horses and their
manure in large quantities may be
a minor reason for he absence of
the house fly. but climate seems TO
be the principal one. Even in the
southern end Of Alaska's panhandle
at Ketchikan there are salmon fac
tories, houses and stores, all un-
screened, and with absolutely no
traces of the common fly. A few of
the rare flies that are found in the
United States also live in Alaska,
but in insignificant numbers.
Insects from the interior OF Alas
ka were collected by DR.. Aldrich
for the first time. The valley Of the
Tanana river. a tributary of the Yu-
kon. is very much like the northern
part Of Minnesota and the region
around Lake Superior so far as in
sects are concerned. he has found.
DR.. Aldrichs trip extended from Sc
ward 10 Fairbanks, along the route
OF the partially completed govern
meut railway.
