The United States prepared itself
sunday for the arms Limitation con-
ference by a day of exhortstion and
prayer. During the past week the
leading Representatives OF the
American press have poured out
millions of words explanatory of
the aims of the conference and the

The preliminary result of much of
this well-meant effort Is confusion

Couldn't Stand Motor Traffic.

Few Americans travelling from Dur
ham to London, more than 200 miles
realize that the road Gil which heir
car is moving was originally surveyed
and constructed by the Romans. II
was called Waiting street, and it ran
north to that Roman wall along the
Cheviot hills which kept out the in
yadinG piCtS and Scots.
Having Il perfect foundation. the
road was easily surfaced and main
tanned through all those centuries
But the motor car made necessary its
complete reconstruction. 1t was the
same with the more famous Appian
Way out of Rome. The destructive

MANS BIG BLUFF
Mere Fiction That He Is lncapa-
bic of Homework.
Vet Throughout the History Of tho
World, as Writer Points Out,
Hes Got Away With IT,

When Adam fleived and Eve spun,
the fiction that man is incapable Of
housework was first established. 1t
would be interesting to figure out just
how many foot pounds Of energy men
have saved themselves. since the crea-
ton Of the world. by keeping up the
pretense that special knack Is re-
quired for washing dishes and for
busting. and that The knnck Is wholly
feminine. The pretense Of incapacity
Is impudent In It's audacity. and yet
II works. Haywood Brown writes in
McCalrs Magazine.
Men build bridges and throw rail.
roads across deserts. and yet they con-
tend successfully that the job Of sew
ing on button iE beyond them. Ac-
cordingly, they don't have to sew but.
tons.
1t might be said. Of course that the
safety Of suspension bridges Is 80
much more important than that Of sus-
penders that the division OF labor Is
only fair. but there are many OF us
who have never thrown a railroad In
our lives. and yet swagger In all the
glory of masculine achievement with
out undertaking any OF the drudgery
Of odd jobs.
Probably men alone could never
have maintained the fallacy Of nascu-
line incapacity without the aid or
women. AS soon as that rather lin
tied sphere, once known as woman's
place. was established. women began
to glorify and eXaggerate its impOr-
lance. by the pretense that II was all

Currents in the Maine Gulf.

Some interesting explorations have
recently been made in the So-called
Gulf Of Maine. Three hundred and
thirty drift bottles were set out in the
bay and 16 Of these were picked up off
the bay shores Of the Gulf Of Maine.
Each bottle contained Canadian post
card to be sent to the biological sta
ton with the offer of a reward to the
finder who wrote the time and place
Of finding and posted the card. The
larger bottles had galvanized iron
drag which was attached so that the
bottle was hung at a depth of three
fathoms. This was done to minimize
the effect OF the wind. Seven out Of
the II bottles which went TO Cape Cod
were found between seventy and eighty
days after being sent out. The dis
lance from the Bay Of Fundy Is about
300 nautical miles therefore, the rate
OF drift was about four nautical miles
per day. There was map OF the
course Of the drift bottles published
in recent issue Of Science--Scien-
tific American.

SINGING Eroos.

Frozen frogs are poultry. Ergo. live
frogs must DO birds.
Such is the reasoning Of the United
States customs service.
Lem Louie Wing. cook on the Persia
Aaru. brought q pair Of singing frogs
all the way from China as pets for his
little niece up In Chinatown.
Being honest, Lem Louie visited the
customs house and declared his in
tentton of bringing into the United
States two frogs.
Now, according to customs rules,
everything entering the port must
come under its proper classification.
The tones Of the office were searched
and no classification Of frogs was
found.
1t looked like Lem Louie's little
niece would have to get along without
her pets.
Then Deputy Surveyor Cook had a
bright idea. Reference to the apprais-
al lists under the heading Of "poul-
try" showed that frozen frogs may en-
ter as poultry"
Such being the case, Collector Irty
was called upon to rule whether live
frogs might not enter as birds"
1.-THE reasoning Is clear" he ruled.
IF the general appraisal board can
classify them as poultry when dead.
frogs must have legitimate claim to
being birds when they are alive
THAT'S light" chimed in Lem Louie.
