vwsrsA,a aiGhess Paid Woman WrttsH.
Poor Little Eve.-1.


In former davs mothers laid awake
at night trying to devise ways to pro-
tect their innocent little daughters
against the wiles of bold, bad, wicked
men. Nowadays, the thing that gives
mothers insomnia is attempting TO
dope out some method o. safeguard
ing their unsophisticated sons against
the vamping of flappers.
At least that was the consensus OF
the opinion of several mothers CLUBS
which have recently held sessions, and
which turned in an almost unanimous
verdict indicting the modern young
girl as the villain of society. They
declared that she was responsible for
the present day ipmodest dress. for
the prevalence of "petting parties,
and that she melted the boys to joy
rides and extravaganza, and all mat
ter of foolishnesS, and that no moth-
er's little male lamb was safe with
her.
That's right, blame all the boys
faults on the girls! Teach your boys
to hide behind the nearest skirt, and
put up the old Adamite excuse, The
woman thou gavest me-She did it.
But how silly, and how unjust, to
lay all the follies of the youth of to-
day at the girls door, for there is no
mature woman, who has seen anything
of life. who does not know that women
are what men make them, and that
every girl spends her life trying to
men.
Women accept men as they are. be
cause they have to, for men are lit
orally the lords of creation A mar
women. He is not compelled to dress
TO please their tastes. He does not
have to shape his manners according g
to their ideals. He does not have to
feign IN interest in their pursuits. He
does not have to put up with female
bores, nor dance with fat ladies who
step all over his feet. and muss up
his clothes.
Because il one woman doesn't like
his. looks, and his manners. he can
hunt up another one who is less crtti-
CAL He can pick and choose among
women, and make his own selection
instead of having to take what is Of
fered to him. He doesn't have to
attract all the women he meets on the
off chance that the one he will really
care for will be in the crowd.
But a girl who wants to have atten-
ton from men. who desires to have
a good time, and eventually to marry,
has to conform 30 the masculine ideal.
She has got to be, and to do the
things that catch the masculine fancy
at the time being. If she doesn't the
men turn their thumbs down for her,
and she had as well HE her to a num-
merry. or get a good, sef-supporting
Job for the balance of her life.
In all history there is nothing else
more interesting than the way in
which women have changed to meet
the demands and tastes of men. In
the times when men used to go off on
crusades. and be absent from home
for years at a time, and when they
wanted to know that their wives were
kept put at home, a woman would
spend her lifetime, happy and con-
tented, spinning and embroidering
among her maidens behind her castle
doors.

JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR a. GUEST.

SPRING-THE TEMPTER.
If they shall ask me over there:
What tempted you the most?
Was it the eyes of woman fair
That made you leave your post,
Or did you for the lure of gold
From honor's pathway 0yE"
I'll blame, when my confessions told,
A patch of summer sky.
A patch Of blue sky overhead,
= The birds upon the wing.
The grass a velvet carpet spread.
All set me wandering:
a laughing stream, the hills afar,
The sun above them all,
All these my great temptations are,
So loudly do they call.
I can resist a woman's eyes.
And spurn the lure Of gain;
With various tricks the devil tries,
InmOyed / can remain
But tho the path Of duty's clear,
A faithiess wretch am
When May has painted far and near
A most bewitching sky.
When they shall ask me over there
What made me go astray-
III say the world was wondrou fair
When came the month Of May,
The trees were glorious to see.
The streams went laughing by
Twas these that made tramp Of me
With summer in the sky

AN OLD SCORE.

The coal strike seems TO have set
tied down 90 a test OF endurance
While the contest mainly is over
wages there are other differences
which might have endured indefinite
| ~. that now probably will be disposed
of when the time for settlement ar
rfves. as it'is certain to do sooner or
later.
One point. of difference tbetween
the miners and the operators is the
check-off. which may be regarded as
an old score. Most operators of union
ized bituminous coal mines are op-
posed to the check-off and have stat
ed in communications TO officials of
the United Mine Workers of America
that they will not consent to the con-
tinuance of this practice in future
wage contracts
Miners union officials are insistent
that the check-off shall be continued
in bituminous coal fields and that it
shall be adopted in the anthracite
fields where the system never has
been in vogue. The check-off is a
system whereby the operator deducts.
or checks off from the miners wages
his union dues and assessments. and
pays the money to the representative
OF the union.
The check-off became part of local
wage agreement in the central COM
petitive field in 1898. Prior to that
time il had been the custom for COM
mittees of the local unions to stand
at the mouth of the mines on the days
when union dues were to be paid. If
miner did not pay, the committee
refused permission for him to return
to work.
1t was this practice. it is said, which
often interfered with the operation
OF the mines. and eventually led to the
operators agreeing to the check-off.
Union officials interpret the check-off
as a Convenient method, mutually
agreed between employer and en-
ployes for collecting dues" AS has
come to be the practice. however. the
check-off. in the opinion of the union
bituminous coal operators, consti-
tutes not only nuisance, but a mem
ace. It provides the union, the oper-
ator1 say. with a huge fund. which
can be employed against the very pes
pie who act as collectors.
1t has been charged and the mat
ter has been aired in court, that funds
collected thru the check-off. to the
amount OF more than $4,000 have
been used in the various attempts to
unionize the non-union fields in West
Virginia and elsewhere.
1t has been charged that this ac-
ton constituted an attempt to induce
non-union miners to violate their con-
tracts with the operators and was,
therefore. illegal

GROWTH OF RADIO.

The bureau of research and infor-
nation of the National Retail Dry
Goods association has compiled an
analysis OF wireless telephony condi-
tions in the United States. The bu-
reau's report shows that there are now
in the United States seventy-one Ii
censed broadcasting stations. of which
seven are department stores. OF the
seven. Philadelphia Is the location of
three; New York of one; Newark, N.
J., of one; st. Louis, Mo, Of one. and
Los Angeles. Calf, of one. These
stores constitute a chain of broadcast
ing stations extending across the con-
tinent with every station equipped TO
take up radio sendings directly north
and south within the. boundaries of
the United States.
Scores of applications for license
have already been filed by other
stores thruout the country. for radio
is now recognized as a merchandising
opportunity of the first order, with
$40, ZOO, ,O0O-1 per cent of the ST.
O0O. .00O.O 600 total yearly sales by de-
partment stores-as the conservative
estimate of the sales volume ready for
immediate exploitation In many OF
the large stores of New York. Chicago
and Pittsburgh the sale OF radio ap-
paratus averages from $1,000 to
50. 900 weekly, and this in spite of the
prevalence OF a shortage in manufac@
tured sets and parts that leaves de-
liveries far behind the volume of or
ders placed by the public.
The overwhelming growth in de-
mand has come about within the
course OF a single year. for radio was
little more than a toy in April, 1891
The first notable concentration of
popular interest in the subject came
in connection with the presidential
election in November-1s2O. when the
Westinghouse company, equipped
with large transmitting stations at its
Pittsburgh. Pa, and Cleveland. Ohio,
plants for private communication,
tried the experiment of announcing
the election returns thru the Pitts
burgh station. 1t was the first broad
casting OF information having inter
est for the general public Every
dealer in electrical goods in Pitts
burgh. 1t Is said. sold out of radio
supplies on the strength of that first
broadcastirg. Ever since. it has seen
a race between supply and demand
with supply continually far in the
rear.

Before entering the Genoa confer
ence France signified her intention
of maintaining an army OF 665.000 on
the Rhine. She declares that Ger
many is already repudiating her
treaties. and that a force of that size

sardIess OF the merits OF the French
contention, the fact remains that the
army is there and likely to remain,
with all its huge financial burdens.
Until the nations OF Europe are ready
to end their quarrels ana devote their
substance TO economic rehabilitation
instead OF waste they are not entitled
TO nor should they expect any favors
from this country. Money that
France is spending on this great army
should be devoted to paying her debts.

Santa Fe common stock at last has
reached par in the market, after a
long but fairly steady climb. The
price appears to be fully justified by

good comes to the Santa Fe always is
gratifying to the people of Kansas
generally and to the citizens of To-
peka in particular. Probably there
are few OF the latter who do not feel

sI think the Arbuckle party was a
Beastly, disgusting affair" Elinor Glyn
is quoted as saying. These things
should be stamped out by public opin-
ion. Don't go to see the films of
persons you don't respect"
We string along with Mrs. Glyn.. It
seems to us she is as we'll qualified to
speak as any one we know. She has
written a number of books in the same
general vein as Mr.. Arbuckle's party.
Nobody gets drunk in Mrs. Glyn's
books. Mostly her characters are ladies
and gentlemen who merely sip a little
madeira or port, as the case may be.
And. while we have not read Mrs. Glyn
as closely and painstakingly as some,
we do not recall that she ever had a
fatality.
We are curious to know how far
Mrs. Glyn's advice in regard to the
"fillums" of persons one does not re-
spect is supposed to carry. Does it,
by any chance, apply to literature, or
quasi-literature?

From our standpoint. the value of a
vacation lies in the ia ct that the read
ers of the column get it. We have a
notion that a substitute as graphic as
Poe, as virile as Vo1taire, as charm
ing as Wordsworth. as finished as
Dickens-with dash of Mark Twain
would weary the columns clientele
beyond endurance, and that we should
return to find it more nearly ex-
hausted than when we went away.
We like to come back to an audience
that has had an opportunity to renew
its stamina and build afresh it's pow
ers of resistance. If we ever get an
other vacation. which now seems I'M
likely. the audience shall have it.
