TACOMA, Feb. 14.-Establishment of public whipping post in Wash ington state will be urged before the next legislature by Justice John w.. Linck, he announced following hear ing of a recent case in his court
 The case involved a man charged with neglecting his wife and three children while he spent all his mon- ey on himself.
 T don't care what your name is," said the irate judge, "but it ought to be mud Any man with a heart would not let his children go hungry while he is away making his own liv- ing If it were in my power I would send you to a whipping post, and am going to recommend to the leg islature that the whipping post be re established for such characters as you"
 The man was sentenced to six months in jail with the addition that he remain there until he put up $500 bond to support his family.

Tt is, my dear, but it's much bigger mistake not to get married"
 ITO MARRY IS BEST"
 More recently w. l.. George, we'll known English writer, declared that Ito marry is best"
 Otherwise" he warned, 'irregu- larity of life will become a problem to a woman if she is attractive. And the woman who remains single is all ways too interested in men. She should marry and get over it. Celi- bacy is bad for the complexion"
 Women who fear that, should they marry a man of ordinary calibre, their children will be inferior, should take heart from the words of Have lock Ellis, feminist and student of social problems, who praises the common mans virtues as parent.
 Fathers who are themselves of no notable intellectual distinction have decidedly more prolonged power of procreating distinguished children than is possessed by dis tinguished fathers," says Ellis. FATHERS OF GENIUS "Vaerting German scientist) notes that the most eminent geniuses have most frequently been the sons of fathers who were not engaged in intellectual avocations at all, but earned their living as craftsmen 1 Some there may be among the su- perior single women, who fear that because they did not marry in the first glow Of youth they would not make good wives and mothers in their more mature years. To them Havelock Ellis must bring a special message in these wise words or his
 "An cid srly mother is more likely to produce a child of genuis than a very youthful mother"

NEW YORK, Feb, 12.-Women are responsible for one of the greatest menaces that threaten our country today.
 It is not the ignorant, untrained. stupid woman who can be blamed for the danger that hovers near. No the woman of the backwoods, in mountain hovel, in benighted out-of- the-way villages or the poor creature who stiles in crowded city element. The fault lies elsewhere.
 The Superior Woman is to blame.
 She too often remains single-will- fully a celibate.
 She will not be wife to any but him who conforms to her own im- possible high ideals of what Per feet Male should be.
 And there is no such perfect crea- ture to be found in this faulty world of ours.
 So she will not wed.
 so RACE SUFFERS
 Therefore, our Superior Woman cannot be a mother. She cannot transfer her best characteristics to another generation.
 The race suffers for lack Of the ck4Iuren she might have had.
 True, she often leaves a legacy of achievement in art, science, litera- ture or in service to humanity at large, but along with this she might
