Are Women
.H,pr0Uing?

ford Reformatory for women
recently declared that women
were committing more crimes than
ever before. He did not attempt to
give reasons.
This is very interesting and, to
anyone who has studied the prog
ress of civilization, very illuminat-
ing.
Women, like men, have had the
benefit of the material advantages
which civilization has given man
kind. They are better fed, better
housed and have had infinitely
more advantages of study and
moral training than their sisters of
5000 years ago. Perhaps they are
less intelligently dressed-but that
is a matter of taste.
Says Lecky in his History of Eu-
ropean Morals:
The conjugal tenderness of Hec-
tor and AndrOmache, the unwearied
fidelity of Penelope awaiting
through the long revolving wears
band;. the heroic love of Alces-
tbs, voluntarily dying that her
husband might live; the filiaI piety
of Antigone: the majestic gran
deur of the death of Polyxena; the
more subdued and sanity resigna-
ton of Iphigenia, excusing with
her last breath the father who had
condemned her; the Joyous, mod
est and loving Nausicaa, whose
figure shines like a perfect idyll
among the tragedies of the Odys-
sey-all these are pictures of
perennial beauty, which Rome and
Christendom. chivalry and modern
civilization, have neither eclipsed
nor transcribed.
There you have standard of
feminine character thousands of
years old. These wonderful crea-
lures of ancient days had no vote,
no porcelain bathtubs. no special
laws that protected them, and no
Christianity. AS far as the brutal
izing influence of men is concerned,
they had much more to contend
with than their sisters of today.
Of course, there were women in
those days who committed crimes.
The position Of women in Greece at
that time was, according to Lecky,
a degraded one. Therefore, it
would be easy to say that they
were driven to crime or had excuse
for crime. Mans inhumanity to
woman, etc.
Today, with education at every
woman s command, protective laws,
the suffrage, the notorious chivalry
of American men-why must wo-
men commit more crimes in this
country than before?
Is it natural sequence to the
shock of war? Is it the outcrop of
peculiar economic conditions? Or.
is woman's moral ficklcness in
grained?
A thousand answers arc possible.

SURVEYORS COMPASS

The United, States Geological
Survey says that compass
should be changed about one
degree every twenty years. This
change is necessary as the mag.
netic pole toward which the
needle of a compass points, and
the North Pole are not the same.
The magnetic pole shifts and
therefore the change must be
made in the compass to make
up for the shift of the magnetic

We complain Of young people

they are not intelligently selfish

Perhaps the dog begins to bark

But you lose your assurance

Meat Sauces.

Most every housewife and cook
knows the difference between a
brown sauce and white Sauce-both of
which are used to serve with meat. A
white sauce is made from mixing GER
tain amount of flour and butter or other
fat and then working it smooth with
milk or water. while Drown sauce Is
made with meat stock, thickened with
-four and diluted with water. Usually
the brown sauce needs little fiavoring
aside from that given from the Drowned
meat. Salt. pepper. with possibly onion,
crooks add to brown sauce. Some
times it is more convenient not to
use the meat stock. Then sauce
is made in another way.
Horseradish Source.
Put a half pint of milk or cream
in double boiler. Rub together a
tablespoon of drippings and an even
tablesoon of -four: then stir them
into the boiling milk. add one ounce

or salt meat
