SUIT MAY DECIDE
NORMAL TANCLE
School Site Body Is Unable
to Determine Meaning
of Establish" II

Frankfort, KY, Aug. la friendly
suit probably will be instituted TO de-
termine how far the powers and du-
ties OF the Normal School Commission
extend In the establishment of the two
new schools, Judge w. T.. Fowler law
partner of Judge Ed C. O'Rear, chair
man OF the commission, said tonight.
The question was presented to Judge
o'Rear following a statement given out
by w. s. Wallen Of Prestonsburg, sec
retary OF the commission, in which he
said that the new schools might not
be established until the mooted point
OF powers and duties" OF the COM
rnissian was cleared up by the 1924
session of the General Assembly
Both Judge o'Rear and Judge Fow-
Ter said the suggested suit reflected no
dissension between the commission
and the State Board of Education.
Judge o'Rear said that the commits
sion has no ambition to infringe up
on the authority of the State Board of
Education and no desire TO take re-
/ sponsibIlity beyond the duties imposed
upon IT,"
Judge Fowler said that It had not
been decided definitely to file test
suit, but that this seemed the only way
OF clearing up the situation.
/ The question Is whether the word
l"establish" In the law means the com
mission is merely to select the sites
take title TO whatever real estate IL
given, accept the money contributed
and then turn the property over tc
the State Board OF Education. oi
\ whether the commission must erect
buildings, equip them, employ faculty
and adopt a course Of study before
! turning them over 10 the board.
Dawson Gives View.
Attorney General Charles I. Dawson
who Is now out of the city, said few
days ago that in his opinion a fail
construction OF the law would be tina
the commission should locate thu
schools accept the property and cree
the buildings, but that the employ
; ment of faculty. the adoption Of
course OF study and such matters rath
! er would fall under the head Of man
agement, which is the function OF III
State Board of Education.
Nothing was given out as TO tn
probable time for the next meeting 0
. the commission. At a meeting hel
!, in Lexington last week fifteen ballot
were taken without any decision be
ing reached as TO the loation of IN
! new schools.
Wallen Sees Delay.
Ashland, KY, Aug. Nv. s. Waller
Prestonsburg. secretary OF the Norrnf
School Commission said here toda
that unless the question of what III
Legislature meant by the word "estah
y llish" was cleared up that nothing fur
ther might be done toward establishin
the schools until after the 1924 ses
sion OF the General Assembly.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please advise
me what to do for an oily skin.
RUTH R. z.
For oily skin Danish all rich and
greasy foods, for diet has a great in
fuence on the condition of the skin.
Wiping off the face occasionally
with diluted alcohol (25 per cent
strength) is beneficial. A few drops of
water with which the face is washed is
also helpful.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
chuns seventeen and eighteen years
old and have been going with a couple
of boys about the same age for a
month. They have asked US to marry
them. but we think we are too young.
They will not&9feten to no for an an
swer, however. They are popular and
two other girls would like to go with
them. What would advise US to do:
BRUNETTES.
Young men of eighteen are too
young to marry. and you also are very
young. Tell them. to wait a year or
two longer and your answer will mean
more
Dear Mrs. Thompson I am very
thin. Please tell me the proper foods
to eat to grow fatter. MARTHA G.
To gain flesh, take plenty of olive
oil, eat eggs, butter, cereals and fatty
broths, potatoes, peas, beans, corn,
carrots and parspips, figs, dates. nuts,
bananas, underdone beefsteak and
roast beef.
Drink plenty of milk, cream and
cocoa. If you take one quart of milk
a day in addition to your usual meals,
you will surely notice an improvement
in weight. Do not try this for a week
or two, but do it every day indefinitely
and as long as you want to be heavier.
Avoid food that will not digest
easily. and be careful to masticate
thoroly what you do eat.
Give up pickles, Vinegar and all
acids.
Exercise freely in the open air, and
take plenty of sleep.
Don't fret or worry; this will keep
one thin more than anything else.
Cultivate an easy-going disposition, if
you possibly can.

A new light is thrown on the move
ment to tax municipal bonds, by the
Manufacturers Record, which says:
There are some big foreign loans
contemplated by international bank
ers. They say they do not want mon
ey thrown away by states and munich
palities. We think that it is a lot safer
for eur own municipalities to spend it
than to have it handed to some ma
ton in near-bankruptcy. willing to
pay a high rate. such as the interna-
tionaI bankers like. The idea that the
local taxpayer does not watch local
expenditures is far from the truth. He
watches them much more closely than
he watches Washington, which has a
record in wasting money that few
cities or counties in the United States
can match
The proceeds from the sale Of state

assumption that the proceeds from
such bonds are wasted and thrown

Dorothy Dix Tdks
The Inequality of the sexes-2.
BY DoROTHT DIX
Wsssars mEhess Pnia WSnaA WF4esr.

The Inequality of the Sexes.
Men may criticise each other as
much as they like. they may engage
| in fierce business rivalries. and call
each other every opprobrious name
under the sun. and not a voice raised
| in protest, but unless every woman is
fulsomely flattering about every other
woman, she is regarded as spiteful
/ old cat. Yet why should a woman
praise her enemies. and pretend to be
filled with admiration of other women
who are ugly, and dull. and stupid,
any moro than a man should be uni
versal admirer of every member of his
sex?
Convention gives man alone the
right to use any common sense in
judging his fellow man. When a man
commits cold blooded murder. or is
sneak thief, nobody expects other men
to pity the criminal, and feel that he
is a Door, prosecuted victim of society.
But If women don't slobber all over a
murderess, or n lady pickpocket. and
IF they think that those other women
who commit crimes should be pun
ished for them. there is a great outcry
about how hard women are on their
sister women.
Man alone has the privilege of be-
ing~honest in the family relationship.
A man can love his wife without pro-
Tossing to think her a Venus or a
Minerva He can be fond of his chill
dren, and still admit that he is glad to
get away from home once in a while
by himself, and leave his incum-
brances behind him.
But heaven help the woman who
confesses that tho she loves her John,
she does not think him either hand
some or brilliant, and that her chill
dren get on her nerves until she feels
like running away and leaving them,
and that she gets so fed up on home
that she loathes the very sight and
sound of it. Such sentiments are Sim
ply not to be publicly expressed by
any woman who wants to remain in
regular standing in her lodge.
The greatest inequality between the
sexes, and the greatest injustice of
all, isAthat men alone have the privi-
1ege of picking out their mates, and
choosing the individual with whom
they have to spend thirty. or forty, or
fifty years. Every woman is ten times
more married to her husband than he
is to her. and it makes a hundred
times more difference whether she is
suited in a husband than it does
whether he is suited in wife. But
for all of that, no woman dares go
up to the man she wants and pop the
question: and if she did, he would say
NO" just because he would feel
bound to help preserve his sex monop-
oily.
About the only equality between the
sexes is political equality. In all other
matters, women have SO much the hot
end of the bargain that no mother can
look In the face of her girl baby with
out rendering profuse apologies to the
unfortunate infant
