In Chicago Joseph L. Moss, chief probation off,
Ger of the Juvenile court says:
Girls are worse than boys. 1t used to be axi-
omatc that the average girl is better than the av-
erage boy but that's now tradition. In 1920 we
had 1912 boy cases in this court, as against ,S32
this year. During the same period we had 63S
girl cases, as compared to 6S4 in 1921. Fifty-five
per cent of the 64 girls before the court this year
were there because of delinquency. None Of
the 1S32 boys were arraigned on that charge
Thirty three per cent of the delinquent girls were
incorrigible, against only IL per cent Of the
boys"
Reading between the lines there is found here
an indictment of almost if not quite
strong that of man.
Some of the visiting foreigners express them
selves rather plainly about American women. For
example, Princess Antoine BibescO, wife of the
Rumanian attache at Washington and daughter of
MargOt Asquith, whose saucy book about person
ages in England caused a storm of criticism. and
herself the author of a still more audacOus book,
says:
american men are charming. but It's just be-
cause they are so charming that the women aren't
so nice. They utterly spoiled and good for
nothing"
Prof. Albert Enstein, whose theory of 'Rel-
ativity" made him famous. made some observa-
lions about of America. He said:
women dominate the entire life of America.
The men interest themselves in nothing except
work. They think of nothing except work-and
to an extent have never seen before. AS for
the rest of the men, they are nothing but the lit
tie paydOgs of the women, who spend their money
in a reckless manner and veil themselves in a mist
of extravaganza They do everything for the wom-
that is In vogue the within of the passing
moment"
So; In view Of these indictments, various ac-
tivities Of women take on added interest and
are being widely discussed. OF course the women
who are doing things and are discussing things
stand by their sex. Lady Aston, the first woman
to be elected to the British parliament, has this
to say, in part:
"Is there such q person as the New Woman?
Or are women much the same as ever, in spite of
apparent changes In their position?
"The war has given a tremendous push to the
reaction from Victorian social ideals which had
already begun, and the quickened pace has been
disconcerting. The early and mid-Victorian girl
was brought up in as complete ignorance pos
sible Of the fundamental facts of life and of mar
riage while the dark side of the picture the social
evil. was kept closely hid from her.
During the last twenty or thirty years girls have
escaped from these narrow walls.
"When women first began to realize the existence
Of some of the worst social evils IL made some
of them embittered against men, in a way which
was comprehensive, but, nevertheless, unreason-
able and anti-social. The moral problem is no
doubt one Of the causes which have put women
