HOLD WOMEN IN sUBlECTloN
"EquaI Rights" Theory Has No Stand
ing Among Tribes of the African
Slave Coast.

Woman is still the inferior sex in
Africa. Man still makes her the beast
of burden, the salable chattel, and
. treats her like an ignorant and re-
calcitrant child. With the YOrubas on
the Slave coast, mans chief occupa-
ton seems to be to direct and i'm
press women. Among other things,
ito prove to the womenfolk that man
rises and goes to heaven" says Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Museum bulle-
tin, "a man, dressed in the shroud
of the dead man, and with wooden
mask of the dead mans face upon him,
Is placed In a private room with the
body. Then, when all the family Is RS
sembled in an adjoining ROOM some
one strikes the ground three times
with stick, crying out Father!
Father Father answer mel" The
"Egun," or man with the corpse, an
swers in a deep voice, and everybody
claps hands and rejoices.
Even the male children are aware
that it is the "Egun" who answers;
but frail woman is supposed not to
know. Woe betide her If she voices
any doubts or unbelief about it! She
gets good beating. The "Egun" has
developed in many localities of YOru-
baland into a kind of bogy whose func-
ton it is to spirit away undesirables-
busybodies, scolds, scandalmongers.
The women are his special providence,
although on occasion he will punish a
man if that high-and-mighty member
Of society can ever be thought guilty
of any punishable offensel An African
woman who threatens an "Egun" with
personal violence. or speaks evil of
him, is punishable by nothing less than
death.

Hurled Bricks at Patrolman.

Shorewood, Sept. 6.-In defense of
his life, 1t is alleged, Patrolman John
Borchhardt of the ShorewOod police
department shot and instantly killed
an unidentified man. The officer, ac-
cording to the ShoreWood officials, was
badly bruised and cut in the melee
with the stranger. The shooting Oc-
CURED in the town of Shorewood at
Summit and Edgewood avenues and
was viewed by large crowd. The
officer was called to the corner by
George f. Ruez of Shorewood, who is
said to have declared the stranger was
stopping automobiles and annoying
the occupants. He appeared dement,
ed, it is claimed. According to Barch-
hardt, the man refused to give himself
up, when approached by the officer.
He threw brick, it is alleged, which
struck Borchhardt in the chest. The
officer grappled with the man and was
again struck in the head with another
brick. Calling upon the man to sur
render, B0rchhardt fired three times
in the air, and finally tried to wound
the man in the thigh. Failing in this.
he claims, and fearing the man might
carry out threats to kill him, he shot
him through the heart. The man died
instantly. The man was taken to the
morgue, where fruitless efforts were
made to identify him. Men who
claimed to have witnessed the shoot
ing are unanimous in their declaration
that the officer took the only possible
action under the circumstances. Prior
to the arrival of the officer, e. V.
White, $40 Edgewood avenue, stated
the stranger stood on the curb at Sum-
NIT and Edgewood avenues, hurled
bricks and stones at passing automo-
biles and shouted insulting remarks at
women in the machines.

JUNIOR CHAMBER
LAUDS GUTHREY
Divorcement of Highways
From Politics Meets
With Favor
GOVERNORS FOOTBALL
Juniors Will Sponsor Street
Dance on South Boulder
Friday, Aug. 18

Oklahoma is the only state in the
union whose highway department ia
used as q political football ~ Bee
0uthreY publisher OF tho Nations
Highway. told the Junior Chamber
OF Commerce at its weekly luncheon
Tuesday. Guthrey was speaking IN
behalf OF the proposed amendment
90 the state highway laws taking tho
department out OF politics.
Speaking as democrat In q dem
ccratiC community OF democratic
state. Guthrey declared that he made
tho statement only because Il was
fact ana because the records bore
him out In it state highway de-
partment employees hold office only
from hour to hour, such office be
ing subject entirely 10 the will NJ
the governor. and constructive plan
ming OF state highway systems undor
such regime Is impossible, the
speaker said. Guthrey spoke In
favor OF highway commissioner
holding office for NJ least six years,
or If tho highway department were
In charge OF commission, OF a new
commissioners each year.
The fact that tourists can drive
In Tulsa county over paved roads and
then go to the Rogers county line
and jump Off into the mud is due
TO the inequality OF tho provisions
OF the state highway tax laws, the
speaker said. The federal aid must
hs offset by the county. and automo-
bile license tax reverts back 10 tho
county from which IL comes; there
fore Tulsa county, having $4,000 au-
tomobiles gete back SO Ia per cent
OF tho automobile tax money OF tho
state. something that is not fair TO
other counties, said Guthrey In maxi
ing a plea that the Junior Chamber
men vote for men for the leRisla-
lire who are broad visloned enough
20 see beyond the line OF tho coun-
~ In which they live. This fixed
source OF income that would divide
road Improvement money fairly in
the state, and systematic marking OF
state highways at the expense of the
state, eliminating road marking pro-
moters are things aspirants for legis-
lative office should bo for. according
TO Guthrey, and following his talk
the Junior Chamber declared itself
Tor such legislation. The chamber
also went on record as being In favor
of senate bill number BIB by Sem
ator owen. following brief explana-
tion OF the bill by Guthroy.
Discussion OF plans for street
dance, presented by Early Cass. took
up the greater part of the business
session following Guthrey's talk. The
Junior Chamber will sponsor n street
dance to be given tho night OF Fri
day. August is, on Boulder, between
Fifth and Sixth. The block will be
roped off for the dance and Cass as
sured the chamber that good music
will be provided for tho occasion.
