does not rant about the way the keys

is youth. She puts the color into the
territory Of the telephone. She supplies
the missing link of human interest in a

No, no dear man. You are wrong.
You'd have an awful time in your

without the great army of clerks at
whose salaries men substitutes could
not quickly be found. What would
happen to the theatrical business
without women? Or to the big fac
tories of all kinds where nimble
fingers represent the human contri-
button to the product? And where
would be our school system, which
certainly bears relation to business,
without the thousands of patient
women who are giving true service
in this field? How about nurses,
seamstresses, domestic servants?
The trouble with the man who is
speaking is that he likes to domin-
ate, evidently, and he likes women
who don't interfere with him. He
wants service! And he thinks the
ecstatic JOY woman finds in serv-

notions of their own possibilities"
Well, girls, don't be deceived. On
grand average, women are not as
largely nor as effectively engaged in
business as men. They probably
never will be, nor would thinking
people wish them to be. They are
truly destined for a bigger job than
the world of industry offers to them.

THERE are complications con-
nected with modern woman.
Sometimes she goes into busi-
ness and sometimes that business is
opposed in some ways to the busi-
ness in which her husband is en-
gagged. But that does not occasion
any difficulty, unless there is a child
in the family
At least this is the general con-
clusion Gabby draws from the fol-
lowing incident:
One OF the candidates for the Good
Will trip to France, sponsored by
The Bee. is a most attractive and
successful business woman. Her
company. which is a big national
concern, is backing her all over the
United States. She is doing all she
can for devastated France and is an
ticipating a journey across the seas.
The husband Of this candidate is
prominent officer in another con-
cern, which likewise has candidate.
He is planning at night and working
by day for the candidate of his COM
pany. who has every prospect of be-
ing one of the winners.
Husband and wife understand each
other. and the situation. They have
had jolly time about it at home.
But it is not a funny matter at
all to their little girl. She wants
mother to go to France. She can't
understand how daddy" who is so
fond of mother. could possibly help
any other girl" The other night she
lay down and cried about it. Explain
ations did not help. She was cor
soled only when her father told her
that he himself would buy as many
votes for mother as he did for the
Other girl.

You wouldn't take the remark too

II nobody's smaller than you. you must
he small
II pobody's envied you. you're n poor eif
lf nobody's enyied you, envy yourself" etc.
In other words, there is usually
something little more extreme than
the thing about which we speak, and
il we would be believed, if we would
temper our speech, il we would be
free from exaggeration. conserva-
tive and forceful, we should never
use a superlative.

No one would think about quarreling
with you over that remark. Your
point would be better made by far
than when using superlative.
Superlatives have use. else why
teach children in school to compare
adjectives. but they should be con-
fined to statements about which there
is no controversy, such as "The Pa
cific is the largest ocean" They
should be used when they are mat
ter of fact, rather than OF opinion.
Others will and should resent your
superlatives of opinion, so, don't
use 'em.

 Those who are urging the active par ticipation Of this government in the pun lshment of the Turks seem to be un- mindful of the fact that 1t rests with congress to say whether there shall be a war.

 The ciampr for this eepntpy to rust into war with the unspeasable Turk deesnt jihe with the cry for ne-more- var.

 This government has declared for th Heliey of having the Dardanelles kep open to all nations. That seem likely to be the outcome, but indication at present are that adjustment of ethe matters in that region will be at a peac conference. where more may be accom- plished than by waging war as has beel
