CAVE MAN LOOSES PRESTIGE;
FAINT HEART WINS FAIR LADY

Chicago, Sept. 25.-The old-time
caveman idea of a perfect lover has
been supplanted by the modern YER
sion of faint heart always wins fair
lady" now in feminine favor along
with bobbed hair, short skirts and
rolled hose.
In the scenarios of 10000 women
submitted in contest conducted by
large Chicago newspaper, the bashful
hero outnumbered the bold and fear
less one, eight to one, according to
James Shryock, director of the COM
petition.
This was a revelation to the judges,
who were famous authors, directors,
educators, dramatic critics and ac-
tors, he said They, with conventional
literary opinions, believed women in
real life worshipped the leonine, dash
ing, confident type Of hero, choosing
him for her husband when his assur-
ance and possessiye manner had cap
tured her heart.
But the stories showed unmistak-
ably that women, when given chance
to exvress their real likes and dislikes
as they did in this contest, many of
them writing under nom de pI'meS,
prefer the stammering, wistful,
abashed lover, rather than the cave
man type"
They were careful to draw the dis
tinction between timidity and fear,
Shryock said. The great majority of
heroes were retiring in manners and
backward in approach but brave in
morals and, when aroused, coura geous
in physical combat.
This was attributed by some Judges
to the fact that women prefer being
worshipped to being mastered Others
were of the opinion that this showed
women want husbands who would be
too bashful to firt with other women
Shy men don't desert their wives, they
said. Still others declared this signi-
fed woman's natural desire to mother
and protect timorous men.

ATLANTIS, ANERICAN-CREEK
PAPER, TELLS SMYRNA'S STORY

Minor campain. Financially and dIplo-
matically blockaded, while the Turk
had free access to the sources OF
French. Italian and Russian credit,
Greece, whose navy was lemed the
right to search the vessels carrying
war cOntraband to the Turks under
the protection Of allied flags; Greece,
whose army was stopped by the same
Allies ,5hen it attempted to occupy
the Turkish Capital of Constantlnople
Greece, that stood all the rlgors OF
a ten wears continuous campaign with
an internal revolution on the side
this poor and harassed Greece finally
gave way and left Asia Minor, fully
convinced that it was not possible
for her to keep fighting the whole
Of Europe forever.
Turkey is now the mistress in
the Near East. She has reduced the
best and richest city in the Levant
to q pile Of smouldering ruins. She
is massacring the Greek and Armen-
ian population; she is killing Ameri-
can citizens, destroying American
property, insulting American girls,
Decorating our American flag. Sixty
million dollars is Americas share in
the losses connected with the burn.
ing of Smyrna, and, what is worse,
the end is not yet in sight.
Greece today, far from being
crushed will draw new courage from
the misfortunes, as she has always
done in her long history with contln-
ued success; but Greece is exhausted
and needs all the support that Chris
tendon can give her, Greece has
hundreds of thousands Of refugees
to shelte- and feed and protect. And
immediate relief should be accord
ed her, in the same spirit in which
Islam has extended lavish help to
Renal.
This is the first time since 1914
when the spectre of new great war
has appeared so terrifying in the
Near East. Europe, torn by dissen-
sion, has not seen up to this mo-
mcnt that by extending its moral
and material encouragement to the
Turk it has not only brought about
the tragedy of Greece, which would
be q small matter if the whole
thing ended there, but has made Is
lam so powerful and so victory-mad
that IL encourages all the maddest
dreams of its adherents.
The whole Eastern world is in
fermeut while these lines are being
written. Anything may happen be-
fore they appear in print. A Turk
ish army may rust into CONSTANT
nople and repeat the Smyrna holo-
caust; q general massacre may en-
sue Is the most natural thing in a
Turkish campaign, Bolshevist Rus
STA. the closest ally of Renal, may
send any amount of troops to the
Bosporus ana set on fire the whole
Of Europe, from the Straits to the
Baltic, and from the Danube to the
Rhine.
If there was time when Amer
lea, by 4 prompt intervention, could
still save the day, this is the only
time. And it is up to America 10
stop the new war now, before she
finds herself once more fighting the
battles OF Europe, which we will
have to do. whether we want it or
not, if there is a new world war.

debating team defeated the members
of the National University Law
School team at the Mckinley High

laws to regulate working conditions
and wages on the railroads and in
the coal mines as essential indus
tries and prohibit organized strikes

argument that such legislation would
be class legislation and would pre-
vent the workingmen from using
their product. labor. as a means for
celf-betterment. as a basis for their
opposition to the question presented
for debate.
The winning team consisted of
Clarence c. Smith, Harry c. Barron,
and Farley E. Norseth. The National
University team was composed of H.

SEWER RATS HERE
! NEARLY EXTINCT
ErstWhiIe Dangerous Pest
Almost Wiped Out by
Modern System.

The sewer rat has become almost
a myth in Washington. according to
j. B. Gordon, sanitary engineer for
the District.
Eager to help in any way that he
could in the campaign launched by
the Commissioners to rid the city of
rodents, Mr. Gordon made inquiry yes
terday among workmen of the sewer
department as to conditions in the
network of underground drainage
pipes.
From all of his men he learned that
the rat population of the sewers of
Washington has dwindled to an in
significant figure as the modern SyS-
tenn of mains has been constructed.
And the rats that still live in the
trunk sewers cannot, city workmen
say, make their way into houses, be-
cause of the elbows in the house con-
nections.
Years ago." said one veteran fore
man of the sewer department.. rats
were abundant in the old sewers con-
structed by the board of public
works, but today they are scarce"
The sewer rat. according to this
foreman, is a bratny pest. He said
he has seen little mountains of dirt
they have piled up against the sides
of sewers on which to perch in safety
when a neaNy now Oh water passes.
Frequently. however. the water rises
high enough to sweep them off the
improvised islands of safety and
drown them.
Health Officer Fowler's food and
sanitary inspectors Will begin today
their educational campaign to enlist
the aid of storekeepers, market deal
ers and proprietors of junk shops in
the rat-extinction program.
DR. Fowler believes junkyards.
where rags and other old material
Is stored, are fertile breeding places
for rats, and it is his purpose to try
to induce the owners of such places
to make war on these four-legged
marauders.
