Announcement that the Bank of Eng
lerh has again reduced its minimum
dis count rate--the fourth reduction this
yeeIr--caused no particular surprise in
the Nav York financial district, for the
continted ease of money rates in London
for weeks past have forecast Just such
a step.
The n ew rate adopted by the Bank Of
England Is the lowest since January.
1914. falAt prior to the outbreak of the
world war. In August of that same
year. lust after the war clouds had
gathered. it was advanced to 10 per
cent. which proved to be the high mark.
What effect the latest reduction in the
British rate will have on that in New
York can only be guessed at at this time.
Formerly 1t WAS the custom of the New
York and London institutions to cooper
ate in rate changes of that Sort but of
late months the British bank has taken
the initiative in every reduction. 1t is
believed, however. that the spread of
a full / per cent between the two
rates cannot be permitted to exist I'M
definitely and that the New York bank
even IL it is not able to cut its rate
Immediately. will be compelled to take
such step within a. reasonably short
time. The New York bank rate OF
per cent. followed Within two weeks the
previous British reductions which was on
June Is.

THE LINKED SHIP.

A steamer sank near Seattle last week. It was
the last and maj catastrophe IN hard luck
that had lasted the eight years Of existence.
During that time about everything that can hap
rem to a boat, in the way of misfortune, to
this ship.
II ran aground frequently. It's boilers al
ways leaking. It lost twice and
often upon the rocks.
The sailors reputed to be more superstitious
than men in other avocations life firmly believed
that all these accidents and misfortunes sprang
from the fact that the ship was christened by a
left handed woman.
They are quite certain that none Of these things
would have happened had the builders OF the boat
selocted a woman who used her right hand to break
the bottle Of wine across its bow on the day slipped
into the waves instead OF one who happened to
have better control OF her left
To them the thought does not come that closer
inspection and better workmanship on the boilers
might have prevented the leakage. To them there
IS nothing IN the suggestion that the men in
-nand OF her were probably negligent IN permitting
It to set upon the shoals and rocks The left
handed woman who took part in ceremony that
had no eject upon the shape size or build Of the
ship Is alone responsible.
Men who live upon the land know that these
sailor men are simply foolish superstitlous persons,
who do not use their brains and who make a
gamble OF life.
OF course. might be Just well 70 wait until
Saturday 10 start that job OF work that should be
done on Friday And that little extra effort that

And that extra match which might be needed for
the third cigarette IS not worth much and every
knows that three from one" courts some kind OF
misfortune.
The real menace OF supersutions which cling to
human affairs and direct many men and women in
their acts in the danger that lives VIII be con-

useful by looking facts the face and finding out

Queer. though. about that ship wasn't II? Per-
haps those fool shipbuiders should have found

AN EGYPTIAN VIEW.

The roNce chief of one Of the great cities resigns
his Job and returns his old profession because he
says, decent people do laws enforced.
OF course. he comments, they want every else
obey the law but they desire be. themselves,
above the law.
They eager for the of the vagrant
tootlegger, but they resent any suggestion that
their private cellars should be restocked from
mysterious sources
They believe that the fellow with the fivver
should be made to obey the traffic laws. but their
time is important and the police should be wise
enough to recognize the difference when their
!lmousnes get into forbidden
They were especially strong, says the police chief,
these friends who appauded his appointment a
cleanup man. on the theory that they should be
above the annoyances on traffic regulation.
And so this one man who tried his best to treat
me law as no discrimination OF persons, who did his
very best enforce it mpartially and fully, throws
ur his hand at the hypocrisy of his hackers and
resigns.
Meredith Townsend, in his book on asia and
Europe reports the strange" view Of the rich
Egyptian who failed to welcome the coming of
British law
He asked if it better to know that
courts would give exact justice between all and
If his land was not better off under system of
courts wherein the lowest and the highest had
confidence in judges and in law.
That. explained the Egyptian. exactly the
-rouble. system of courts that gave privileges
to the rich and the powerful removed all incentive
for men truggle to get rich and become powerful
What was the of getting ahead if the lowly and
the humble and the poor more regarded
by the law than tho rich?
How far have travelled in this country
towards the Egyptian view rather the view of
the rich Egyptian?
How far 90 the conservative, law-abidng repec-
table portion OF the community consider themselves
the rightfuI possessor Of special privilege and
immunity?
One police chief quit because he found his efforts
to control the safety of city blocked by this at
titude. This is the evidence to date

THREE MINUTE
JOURNEYS

Women hold a unique position IN
Dahomey, a French colony in West
Africa, lying north Of the Gulf Of
Guinea. They compose the greater
part Of the army, and the king de-
lends upon them to protect the
kingdom.
Famed for his cruelty, the King
Of Dahomey is said TO sacrifice many
human lives each year in order that
the palace may be properly decor
ated with skulls. Nevertheless, he is
kind to the women Of his army He
delights in showing them high fav-
or, and in supplying them with pic
turesque costumes.
They are not attractive young
women seeking excitement, as might
be supposed, but are old women who
are far from pretty even when
judged by savage standards Of beau
ty They are the bravest Of the
kings soldiers. Indeed, the King
Of Dahomey has little confidence in
the men Of the tribe when trouble
arises. The king calls his women
fighters "Amazons" and they are
always ready to answer his every
command.
Each regiment has its different
costume. Some regiments wear
white caps. each with a blue alli-
gator painted upon it. The caps
of other regiments are distinguished
by blue crosses. A blue crown in
dicates the members o. still an
ether regiment. But every one OF
the women soldiers wears trousers,
large and baggy at the knees. like
the men of Dahomey wear, and box
coats
When visitors call upon the king
he takes pride in parading his ANA
IONS before them. They run in
ranks about the field. fire their guns
into the air and march UP TO salute
the king The officers in command
carry large whips which they use
II ecly upon the women IN showing
their authority An Amazon holds
her superior officer in deep regard
and would not think OF disobeying
the slightest command.
Many and severe are the battles
in which the AmazOns have taken
part. and these veteran women SOL
diers always meet the enemy un-
finchingly. They seldom lose a BAT
tie. The men Of the surrounding
tribes seem to fear them.
These Dahomey soldiers have the
distinction Of being the only army
composed entirely Of women in the
world.

Fuel is one of these. transportation IS another.

Under the terms OF their present agreement,

the facts OF their industry.
That in itself is confession. But even though
It be a belated admission OF failure. it has in it
something OF promise
Before they start upon their probe Of their own
business and their own labor, the coal industry,
which includes both labor and owner, should be
told that their stewardship is probation and
that one repetition Of this summers madness
will result taking control of their hands and
