What Women Read

What are known as women's
pages in the daily newspapers made
q poor showing in the recent reading
census at Radcliffe College. Only
four Of the six hundred students
voted them their favorite section.
Even though what the college under
graduate reads may not be taken as
indicative of what appeals to women
in general, the result of the census
is enlightening as showing the trend
of the times.
Items about how to be beautiful,
how to manage husband or how to
get one are no longer the only
things that interest women, and they
are beginning to feel that the news
paper is no place for them, any
more than discussions of masculine
charms or how to manage wife.
Except for sporting news, per-
haps, the college woman likes about
the same Newspaper food as her
brother. Just as soon as women 90
IN for sports to the same extent as do
men and occupy the same space in
newspaper columns with their do
ings, sporting news will assume
new value to them. Headlines only
got a good many votes, just as they
do in college man poll. That time
is of the very essence is just as true
in one college as another, and of
what use are headlines if not to
read as you run?
All in all, the college woman is q
serious minded person-too serious,
perhaps-but the pages supposed to
appeal to the lighter side of the fem
mine mind do not measure up to her
by any means. They do not furnish
New-York tribune., 1921-10-25
the let-down from serious pursuits
that sporting pages offer the mascu-
line reader.
The Campbells Are Coming

The pibroch has sounded and clans
are gathering for the conference,
and America will soon be surfeited
with famous figures. Day after day
they arrive, and night after night
they are dined and grape-juiced.
New York is already bored with the
great and the near-great. Only full
fiedged marshals or supreme admi-
rails or 100 per cent prime ministers
are not anti-climactic.
Northcliffe thought to keep Lloyd
George away; but the Welshman's
favorite sport is to put the teeth of
Northcliffe on edge. 1t is now ru-
mored that Asquith will come out to
spend few weeks with his daughter
in Washington.
The great Venizelos, Of Greece, Is
already here. Isn't America de-
lightful land for honeymoon? And
now it is announced that Gounaris,
Prime Minister of Greece, is coming.
1t is, of course, mere chance that he
comes at this time.
And then there are the Belgians
and the Dutch and the Portuguese,
and who knows how many others, all
rushing their ablest statesmen across
the ocean, either to play in the game
or to sit on the side lines.
Washington will be so glutted with
famous foreigners that plain
American citizen will be so rare that
he will have all the fascination of
novelty. The curiosity about Amer
ica is worldwide. We talk of the
revolution of American thought con-
corning international relations; but
it is small thought compared with
that which has occurred throughout
the world in respect of America.

failure and now holds that the So
cialist organization in this country,
which refused to complete adherence
to the Third Internationale, is jus
titled.
The usual excuse is of course
made: that Russia was not fitted to
establish the MARKHAM state. This
apology of course is hollow. If the
revolution could not maintain itself
among the docile Russians, accus-
toned for centuries to work under
the lash and with industries little
complicated by independence, where
can it hope to succeed?
But an excuse bound to be made is
of little consequence. The impor-
tant thing is that the official organ
of the Socialist party in this country
confesses that Marxism, when ap-
piled on grand scale and upheld by
ruthless power, broke down from the
weight of its own insufficiencies. 1t
was not overcome by pressure from
without Russia, but disintegrated
because within Russia it made hun
ger and misery.
Socialism in its evolutionary form
will doubtless continue to exist. 1t
may be expected to exert influence in
helping to accelerate the tendency to
socialize many special services; but
dogmatic Socialism, Marxite Social
ism, Socialism of the class war, and
Of general hate and enforced regi-
mentation is dead beyond resurrec-
ton. In time men and women will
be intelligent enough and good
enough to work as diligently for the
general welfare as they do when un-
der the spur of selfishness, but that
time is not yet.

Ludendorf's Next War

General Ludendorff is about to
publish a book, "War and Politics."
in which he summons the German
people to prepare for a new war.
The General has never forgiven his
countrymen for letting him lose the
last war. He doesn't want to be
embarrassed that way again. There
fore he adjures the Germans to be-
come more monarchist and "Prus-
sian" than they were before and to
put themselves in a frame of mind
in which they will not let anything
hinder the work of the Great Cen
eral Staff.
Ludendorff conveniently forgets
that as early as August, 1918, he
was suggesting an application for
mediation and peace. 1t was one of
his own staff officers who started
the final peace-at-any-price panic in
Berlin. Yet he keeps on saying that
Germany was betrayed by the
Liberal and Socialist politicians,
VINO, toward its end, used the war
to extort concessions on the question
of the Prussian franchise. He can
never fully express his detestation of
Bethmann-Hollweg, who catered to
the Socialists in order to keep them
in line with the government, or for
men like Rathenau, who doubted
whether return Of the Kaiser in
triumph would be good thing for
Germany.
Ludendorff can't understand that
when people gets into war it loses
sight Of things which don't really
concern its existence. 1t will fight
for self-preservation--even for self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But it will not
fight for dynasty, or form of
government in whose efficacy it has
no real belief. Even Prince Max
Of Baden cast the Kaiser overheard
when it was seen that he was an
obstacle in the way of peace. War
destroyed the Hohenzollerns, just as
it did the Hapsburgs and the
Romanoffs. The German people are

On Armistice Day
New York, Oct. 81, 1921.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Usually after prayers comes a
collection. If on Armistice Day we are
to have silent prayer iii honor of it,
why wouldn't it be good idea also to
have an outpouring from pocketbooks
for just two minutes by the clock, for
the boys who SO bravely fought for US {?
Quite sum Of money could be raised
in two minutes if all who stayed at
home while the boys were doing their
duty bravely were to give what they
could afford. Even the smallest child
could contribute his penny. There
could be boxes placed all over the
cities, in stores, hotels, restaurants
in fact, wherever money circulates
freely. 1t would take but two minutes
to sign names to large figures if
gratitude prompted.
The winter is coming, and thousands
Of our boys will have to fight grim
poverty, besides seeing their families
suffer for the needful things to make
life worth while living. Many are
wrecks from gassing, she'll shock and
accidents. These, too, must have help.
Let every one who can deny himself
something on Armistice Day help
the soldiers who saved us from what
the Russians are suffering to-day.

Knowing South America
American Traders Not More Ignorant
Than Others, Nor Less Honest


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A letter by John P. Gray pub
lished in your issue this morning
makes me indignant.
Mr.. Gray talks about the ignorance Of
Americans while travelling or doing
business in South America. T. as a
man who have been doing business in
these countries and have lived there
practically all my life, find that other
nationalities are just as ignorant about
our southern neighbors as we are.
Mr.. Gray also takes the liberty to
slur the honesty of American exporters.
Though l will admit there have been
some very foul exports, how many
times have foreign exporters tried to
cheat us? He also states that we send
representatives who cannot talk the
Spanish language. How many Latin
Americans come to this country to do
business and cannot talk English? How
many Of them come here and will live
and eat as we do? 1t is all folly. Every
nation has its ignorant, every nation
has its cheats
Though the only way that we can
improve is by knowing our mistakes, I,
for one, do not think that Mr.. Gray or
any one else who talks in such a mar
rowminded fashion has the authority
the knowledge or the privilege to criti-
cize his fellow countrymen, much less
slur the American exporters honesty.
Cut this all out. We slur and knock
each other until at times we are the
laughing stock Of the world. Let us
get together and help each other.
Though we make many mistakes, other
nations make the same, perhaps worse.
Experience and common sense will
teach US what to do and not the slurs
of those who judge the whole by the
faults of very few.

Prodigal New York and Boston

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; The National Security League
has taken the ten cities of over 500 900
population (New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Detroit, Cleveland, st. Louis,
Boston. Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Los
Angeles) and compiled tables Of their
per capita expenditures in twelve Of
the principal ways in which the tax
payers money is spent. A great many
things are shown, but the most impor-
tant, to my mind, is this-that two
of the largest cities in the country
have the highest per capita In total
expenditures-namely, Boston and New
York.
From my observation Boston and
New York give no more to their citizens
in public way than the other big
cities Of the country. INQUIRER.

Tho subways Of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company were con-
structed under agreements with the
city that they should belong to the
city and be operated by the company
under a lease at a fare of five cents
and no more. The city contributed
very large sums for the construction
Of the subways on these terms.
The capital furnished by the bond
holders and stockholders of the COM
pany was likewise furnished on these
terms, and for years the company
earned large profits for it's stockhold-
crs in addition to the interest on it's
bonds. The fact that by reason Of
an increase Of operating costs the COM
pany no longer can make profit for
fare gives the bondholders and stock
holders no claim in law or in equity for
an increase of the fare fixed by their
agreement with the city.
The subways are now earning sub
stantially the interest on the COM
pany's bonds, and the present Difficult
ties of the company are due principally
to the fact that the Manhattan Ele-
vated lines, which were leased by the
Interborough company at a rental of
7 per cent on the Manhattan company's
stock, do not earn this rental; but it
is possible that before long operating
costs NAV be reduced sniff cientlv to
enable the company to earn all its
charges, including the rental on the
elevated lines

should be operated together by a single
operating company in order to secure
the most economical operation and the
best service to the publ at the lowest
practicable rate Of fare. Ultimate owner
ship Of all the lines should be vested
in the city and they should be operated
by an operating company under lease
from the city. Operation Of the tran
sit lines by elected or appointed city
officials, like other city departments,
would be a calamity to the community.
Such operation would be highly waste
full, possibly would result in corrup-
tion and certainly would be inefficient.
1t would result in unsatisfactory
service at high cost and would vest
q dangerous amount of patronage in
any political party in control in the
city government.
5-While the fve-cent fare should
not be increased to benefit the stock
holders or bondholders of the Inter
borough Company, the Manhattan Ele-
Vated company or the surface lines
companies, such an increase may be de-
sirable or even necessary to secure the
following results, viz: (a) the con-
struction and operation OF additional
lines urgently needed by the commu
nifty, (b) the operation of surface lines
and bus lines which, though unprofit-
able, are needed by the community and
(~) to save the people from destructive
taxation and the city from possible
bankruptcy.

And every night
He'd hold her tight
And sing to her so sUcet.

Traditional subway lines are ur-
gently needed to meet the growing re-
quirements of the city, but additional
lines cannot be obtained unless the
city constructs them by means of capi-
tai raised through the issue Of city
bonds. Though the city may be will
ing TO forego a return on bonds here
tofore issued by it for the construction
OF subways, the city should not-in fact
1t can not--issue any more bonds for the
construction Of subways unless it re-
celves return equal to the interest
and sinking fund requirements of the
additional bonds. Moreover. the ad.
ditional subways could not be operated
separately. They must be operated as
parts OF the existing subway and ele-
waited lines. 1t follows, therefore that
arrangements must be made TO assure
that additional lines hereafter con-

 The Pickerts are proving popular both from standpoint of fine acting and d very wise and happy choice of plays. This is play which is one of the we'll known pieces of theatrical entertainment. Aside from theatrical run, it has been quite. popular on the screen, being pro- duced with Bert Lytel in the stellar role, though the screen production must neces- sarily leave out the lines, which are witty and attractive

 Comedy and drama most admirably combined, fun, lots of it and thrill ing suspense of plot, aand not too much of anything. This is an Allan Dawn production showing the usual fine taste of that producer in the selection of story. The story is very poorly named for the title carries ab- solutely no ideea of the excellent pie ture that "A Perfect Crime" is.
 It is all about how a pin head" with a pet peeve on the world and who blamed his failure therefrom on big business,' crooked politics" or hard luck found the key to success and used it. His key was fundamental ly the knowledge that what he lacked was self-confidence. So he has a dar- ing plan. He becomes Wally Griggs by day, and the self confident fasci- hating John Brown by night. At night John Brown hobnobs with the bank president who by day called Wal1y Griggs poor boob Wally had planned great getaway but the chance came and he didn't want it because in the meantime the unforeseen had happened.
 Monte Blue is buoyant and dashing as John Brown, the fascinating and lovable liar. as Wally Griggs he is amusing and pathetic His personality is fine all through, and with. a good cast in support, this can be called one of. his best appearances.
