WOMEN TOO MUCH FOR HIM
Men Can't Handle Feminine Affairs,
Army Officer Admits.

Men never have and never will BE-
able to handle the affairs of women sue
cessfuIly," said Col. j. II. Machine
Gun" Parker, who was in Columbia
Monday afternoon inspecting Battery B,
l28ih Field Artillery. He declared there
is only one way for the women to get
square deal and that is for Congress
to create department of women's af-
fairs in the Presidents cabinet.
1T is just as reasonable to try to run
an alarm clock with a gasoline engine
as il is for a man TO attempt to dictate
suitable legislation for women, said
Colonel Parker.
He said that uniform divorce laws
are imperative. for a man may marry
twice in New York. be divorced in Mon
tana and no, even be a bigamist in Mis-
souri,. This condition cannot continue
indefinitely he declared.
THE University of Missouri would
not think of placing an inexperienced

WARNING TO MERCHANTS
This caution might well be observed
by Columbia merchants, the chief said.
Many merchants lock their rear windows
by driving nails in the sash. Burglars
gained entrance to McAllister's Cafeteria
Saturday night by jimmying a window
made secure in this fashion. A sub
stantial lock is the best protection.
Never think that your valuables are
safe when hidden behind picture frames,

These are the first places a crook will
look for them.
Don't leave home the same time each

strangers information about the absence
of your neighbors. If you leave home
for the summer, inform the police depart
ment, and don't leave valuables in the
house when leaving for any length of

What About the Ph;Hbbines?

NE thousand dollars for the purchase
4 D of wardrobe and fifty dollars a day
for expenses are said to be the per-
quistes of each member of the new Filipino
independence commission which sails this
week from Manila for the United States.
If apparel in this instance proclaim the
man, our island friends should lack moth
ing in responsiveness. That they will be re-
ceived in any case with cordality, goes
without saying-though the outcome of
their negotiations at Washington may not
be all that they now desire.
There have been hints, indeed, of a pos
sible reaction in the Executive department.
if not in Congress, from the more liberal
measures of self-government already grant
ed. In a report to President Harding last
winter Governor General Leonard Wood
and former Governor General Cameron
Forbes recommended that "the present
general status Of the Philippine lslanos
continue until the people have had time to
absorb and thoroughly master the powers
already in their hands" This was plain
enough in it's bearing upon the question OF
independence, if by that term is meant
complete distinction from American con-
troll. But General Wood and General FORBES,
who had been instructed to lnvestl-
gate and advise, went further. eve recon-
mend" they wrote, ''that the responsible
representative of the United States, the
Governor General have authority COM
mensurate with the responsibilities OF his
position. In case of failure to secure the
necessary corrective action by the Philippine
LEGISLATURE, we recommend that Congress
declare null and void the legislation which
has been enacted diminishing, limiting or
dividing the authority granted the Cover
nor General under act No. 240 Of the
Sixty-Fourth Congress, known as the Jones
bill" High tribute is paid the capacity OF
the islanders, and the young generation is
described as full Of promise; but it is
urged at the same time that further train
ing and experience are needful to render
them altogether politically competent. Gun
der no circumstances, it is declared, SHOULD
the American Government permit to be es-
tablished in the Philippine Islands stu
alton which would leave the United States
in a position Of responsibility without au-
thority."
Since the rendering of this report the
Four-Power Pacific treaty. pledging Amer
lea, Great Britain, Japan and France to re-
spect one another's rights and interests in
the East has been adopted, and happy
understanding has been reached between
our country and Japan, touching the once
disputed cable and commercial rights on
the island of zap. Thus several sources
of concern and anxiety in the region of the
Philippines have been removed. But wheth-
err or not this calls for decided and i'm
mediate change of policy toward the islands
is a matter for bordering.

-HAT there are more kinds of education
than one, appears in the fact that a
modishly-dressed rogue who was
caught red-handed, the other day, carried
in his pocket diploma from a school Of
burglary. Literally teaching tho young
idea how to shoot!
Of scant credit though he was to his
alma mater, this thief and incipient gun
man may serve to point moral and
adorn a tale" 1t was to his own dullness,
perhaps, rather than to incompetency on the
part of the burglar school that his ounglng
failure should be laid. For he was in
structed, we assume, in all ths arts and
with all the skill that the enterpriseful in
stitution could command. He was taught,
no doubt, to be nimble of hand and quick
Of brain, to be suave, inscrutable, efficient,
and to live both by his own wits and the
lack of wits in others. He may have been
taught everything which a keen animal,
bent upon getting craftily ahead in the,
world, needs to know. And in sooth they
who hold that the one province of educa-
tion is to fit the student for the business
he means to ply, must acknowledge that
the school of burglary measures we'll up
to their idea It is intensely pragmatic.
The fault with his schooling and with
theirs is that it. takes no account Of the
larger life which man, to be truly man,
must live. 1t does not waken and nourish
within him that which is neighborly, far
loving, compassionate, humane; that which
wonders reverences, aspires; that which
is starrily and imperishably human. Lack
ing this, men can but be anti-social; and
whether the evil they do be crudely GRIM
inal or by custom winked at, the conse-
quence to society is much the same, and
to themselves. Not all thieves and bur-
glars steal like the roguish Trfnculo, "by
line and level" nor do the greatest of
them so far forget their instruction as to
disturb "old father antick, the law" But
high or low, lettered or illiterate, they are

Vctmizing the American nvestor-By Frederic Haskin

taken to hale blue sky promoters before IL
under the laws governing unfair competl-
ton. Thus some swlndles have been stopped
almost at their inception.
Legislation has often been proposed to
protect the public but always has fallen
short of enactment into law. The general
plan of proposed legislation is to create a
central bureau which must approve all Sc
curity issues in excess of a certain amount,
about 100000. Heavy penalties for break
ing this law would be provided. AZ
There have been many famous blue sky
swindles. One which stands out in Ameri-
can and British annals is the Mississippi
Bubble, vast development scheme in which
thousands lost their savings. The recent Pom
ri scheme was not precisely blue sky
scheme as there was no stock selling in
volved, but probably new legislation will be
framed to include such enterprises. Certain
ly any Federal blue sky commission would
be likely to inquire into such a scheme as
soon as it started operating, even though
the law did not provide specifically for curb
ing such schemes of frenzed finance. Off
cial inquiry into the basis of fraudulent
schemes usually is sufficient to burst the
bubble without any other action.
1t is rumored that number of brilliant
American adventures have gone to Russia
to obtain concessions there on which they
plan shortly to sell shares in the United
States. Officials, aware of their activities.
will issue proper warnings when it becomes
necessary, as it has been ascertained that
the plans of the promoters do not include any
real value behind their proposed stock is
sues. These promoters realize that Russia is
far enough away to prevent thorough inves-
tigation by prospective stock purchasers, and
yet sufficiently romantic part of the world,
under present circumstances, to lure adven-
turous investors to take chance on making
a sudden fortune out of radium or anything
else the glib-tongued statesmen may suggest.
The Federal Trade Commission is now
engaged in the compilation of a report en-
hodying survey of the "blue sky situation.
There is strong belief that upon receipt of
this report Congress at last will act for the
protection of American investors.
