UNAPPEEoIArED REGULAr1oN.

When young congressman from Mississippi took it upon himself to in- troduce bill denying the women of the District of Columbia the right to smoke cigarettes, he raised, mot the cigarette issue, but the general question as to the propriety of 8 group of men, who hap pen for the moment to be in position to pass laws, regulating the conduct of women without regard for the desires of the women. At committee hearing on the bill It was suggested that the twen- ty-hve women present should be con- suited before the committee made a rec ommendation. Twenty-four of them op- posed the measure and the bill was killed.
 The position of the women present at the hearing was given in the following assertion made by the wife of an army colonel:
 The women of the country are sick end tired of this ceaseless agitation about legislating as to what women can do. Some want to fix the style of their bathing suits. the kind of stockings they wear, the length of their skirts and say how they shall do their hair and what not. It is that kind of stuff that the wo- men resent more than anything else
 Allowing for the possibility that this witness was influenced in her remarks by her indignation. 1t is probable that her sentiments are fairly representative of the views of many American women. The promptness with which opponents Of the Sheppard-Tovner bill for bureau cratic motherhood, under the direction of uplifters, took up the fight. is addi- tional evidence of the dissatisfaction of American women with the activities of meddlers who for want of something i'm portant to reform turned to the customs of the people for qualification of their sanotimonious proclivities.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
SOUTH CHINA

Hostilities have broken out between the two Kwang provinces of southern China, Kwangsi remaining loyal to the Pekin government while Canton in the Kwangtung province is the stronghold of Dr. Sun Vat Sens party according to recent dispatches.
 These two provinces of the former celestial Empire, crawl in a dragon trail line across the south of the coun- try from a point just west of Formosa where they begin to skirt the China Sea west to the reaches of little known Yunnan and Siam. They are interest ing in the very antitheses of some of their characteristics" says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. c.
 ''Kwangsi is unusually considered the pauper province and is the least dense- ly populated portion of China, while Kwangtung which contains the divi- sions of the republic.
 From ancient times, Kwangsi, how ever, has been a mysterious region. Its wild mountain fastnesses and forest clad hills have been the haunts. of robbers, rebels and revolutionists. The natives have peopled it's grottoes, caves l and crags with fairies, devils, dragons and elfin sprites, and nature has pop alated the hills with wild beasts that wander unmolested through the sparse | ly settled mountain districts.
 The hill regions, due to their steep ness and lack of soil, drive the people of the province to a floating exist ence upon its rivers, the picturesque and typical native junks gliding past the queer flat-bottom craft and the salt boats, on all of which at night the l people, having cast anchor, sleep tS the lullaby of the ceaseless roar oi waters and the weird calls of the nat. ives to frighten off the evil spirits.
 "Kweilin, the capital of KwangSi like the capitals of most of China'i eighteen provinces, is located on thu banks of a hospitable river-the Kwe large tributary of the West River Here in a city which cherishes tn memory of Shun who lived in 2200 E C., and to whom three thousand year ! later was built a temple which j standing today, the Governor of Kwan si resides. The lake region between Pinklo and Kweilin' does not leave tn traveller guessing how the fairy stor ies originated, but makes him wonde why the more appreciative tourist have not made a beaten trail to som of the elfin haunts.

WARMING OF RELIEF CA11s

The greatest Teacher of all time told us that 1t is more blessed to give than to receive. Out of it's full pocketboek the American public, in the last few years, has responded to innumerabls ap- peals for alien relief, the feeding of foreign populations, and solicitation of funds. help, goods and energies for such purposes. But 1t is apparent that there is a growing wesriness of the whole subject.
 Yet 8 representative of an American relief mission, who has returned from Germany reports that in a single week district by relief agents Although par ents can hardly earn enough to feed their children, the birth rate is increas- ing in remarkable manner and at least 27 per cent. of the population are children. A few weeks ago an American newspaperman who was in Berlin with an idea of seeing for himself the need of relief was advised that the whitsun- tide holidays were at hand and the children would be fed by their parents for some days. It was explained fur ther to him that the children were not dependent upon the relief feelings, but Inc relief mission was merely supple nenting the home food supply.
 To the average man it would appear that supplenenting the home food sup ply, if that is all that the relief mission Is doing. might we'll be undertaken by A Germany that is not actually impov erished As a matter of fact the ave rage American is beginning to be cdri ous about the necessity of this long continued relief and to wonder when thi sort of thing win end. He is gettinl the notion that American help is nakin, . lot of professional besgars in Europe who would rather turn here for heI, than get down to work to help them selves.
 There may be something wrong il the way he thinks about 1t, but that his growing conviction.
