"COurtesy" Too Refined.

4 QUAINT thing is Senatorial
a courtesy. Kenyon of Iowa
- wants to tell the people about
the Newberry case, which, though
voted upon, is by no means settled.
Willis, Of Ohio, who introduced
the resolution censuring slush fund
politics, but voted to seat the Michi-
gan beneficiary, invites Kenyon to
speak at the, Mckinley memorial
meeting in Dayton.
Kenyon wants to do it, but de-
clines because if he said what is in
his heart to say it might be inter
preted as reflection upon Willis
and that would infringe Senatorial
courtesy.
A little less courtesy and a great
deal more candor would probably
improve the standing of the Senate.
For that matter, in the States
whose Senator's voted to ratify the
Michigan outrage plain discussion
of the facts is needed most.
The kind of courtesy" which
keeps out of such States other Sena-
tors who can tell the people the
truth may be chubby and very con-
venient for memberswith vulnerable
records, but it is decidedly not in
the public interest.

Women and the Prize Ring.
A READER, with merciless direct
"a ness, asks: I
- Would you want your wife,
sister or mother to be seen at the
ringside?
Frankly, we'd bit prefer that
mother shouldn't 60. Mother, you
see, isn't very we'll, has nerves, and
all that sort of thing.
If she didn't understand the box
ing she might not like it; and if she
got to like it, it might prove too
strenuous in its excitement.
About friend wife we're not so
sure. Confdentially, there are
times when knowledge by her of the
art of uppercutting might not con-
duce to domestic harmony. Besides,
with this war tax, seats at the ring
side are pretty expensive. We feel
that we must economize.
As to sister, she being of the
modern set, the matter of a
brothers. preference doesn't go for
much with her. We don t recall that
she ever asked our views.
Wen say this, though, for sis: If
she took to going to the ringside
she'd be a game sport. Thus far
her taste runs rather to wearing
expensive furs, which is also cruel
for the animals, who seldom have n
pugilist's chance.
1t is perplexing question, all
right. As between a stand-up battle
under fair rules where opponents are
evenly matched and the feline claw
ings at regulations we've observed
at some gatherings of the beloved
sex, we just don't quite know how to
answer by flat yes or no.

Shocking DiDorce DiscIOs-
Hres In Virginia
By BILL PRICE

The startling disclosures Of this newspaper concern
ing the with which divorces have been granted in
the Virginia court at Alexandria shocking that
they should set the moral forces Of that great State
to work on the job Of judicial housekeeping.
1t is uncomfortable that the developments, backed by
facts, truths and afdavts clear and relentless
to invite legal proceedings if they are weak, shall go
Enacted upon by the highest authorities of Virginia
that the people Of the State will let the matter rest
until there has been the most thorough investigation
There those who may feel that because these hun
dreds of divorces by judge short period
largely to non-resdens the State is little concerned in
the moral aspects of it. That however, will not be the
view taken by Virginians whole. To them there
is real sacredness in the marital ties and in the sancty
of the home. If the laws Of Virginia such as to
permit practically ready made divorces it is safe bet
that the Of the people Of that State have not yet
to realization Of the obligations upon them to
remove from their statutes the shame attaching to
such situation. 80
But if the fault does not lie in laws which permit
divorces in from forty five to ninety days. and if the
State depends upon its ursts to that all parties to
divorce actions must be duly appraised in proceedings
in not admitting of bubble doubt then the
moral sentiment of the State will revolt at system
which permits record Of divorces granted at which
the judicial and legal machinery of famous Reno
would turn pale
If the Alexandria Judge has been SO innocent as to
have been imposed upon by former associates friends
and failed to realize that his court being deiber
atey prostuted through bought fasehoods and tricks
evasve of law and decency, then it is up to him to
take corrective measures suitable to the offenses
The Times has done the good people of Virginia an
extraordinary service in presenting the deplorable
facts in Alexandria. These conditions may exist else
where in the State If they do, the dominant political
issue before the State should be a wiping out of
Judges and laws which enable dissatisfied men and
women to get divorces almost easily they obtained
marriage licenses; which permit the good names of
defenseess women to be ruined forever through the
ability of lying husbands and connivng lawyers to
get what they want from the courts without the wife
ever knowing what is going on.

Let WOn,en's
Dress Alone

NYOW come the Dartmouth stu
IN dents. In their invitation to
- young women ito attend the
winter carnival at Hanover they sug-
gest that warm clothing be worn.
The invitation ends with this bit of
pleasantly:
We wish you to look pretty and
warm, not expensive and cold.
It is solicitous, boyish and anus
ing. The only trouble with it is
that it falls in line with what seems
to have become a fashion in this
country, viz: an epidemic Of mascu-
line effort to reform feminine ap-
parel.
Why not let the women alonei
They know what to wear. If they
go to the North Pole they know
that it is cold there. And if they
choose to equip themselves with silk
stockings and low-cut waists you
may be sure that the majority of
Eskimos and Polar bears prefer silk
stockings and low-cut waists.
Selection of dress is not only the
heritage of all women from their
Mother Eve, but it is both science
and an art developed by centuries
Of experience.
If ever you should worry about
the i'll effects of scanty clothing in
a cold climate, just try to remember
how many times you ever heard Of
a young, extensively clad girl dying
of exposure. A theatrical manager
in a fur-lined overcoat is more apt
to catch cold or pneumonia on a
wintry day than the most scantily
clad soubrette in his employ.
And a word to the girls:
Oh, girls! Whether you be ma
irons or chickens. Here is a tip
for you.
If a man asks you why you wear
silk stockings, ask him why he wears
a stiff, white collar that presses
against nerves, artery and veins.
If he asks you why you wear such
a short skirt, ask him why he wears
such a stiff hat.
If he asks you why you expose
your chest, ask him why he wraps
a muffler around his neck, or why
he squeezes a belt around his
stomach, or why he wears vest, or
a necktie.
If he should be honest and tell
you that vanity impels him to make
himself as attractive as possible,
give him the ha-ha! For in that
game you can give him cards,
spades, big and little casino and
beat him to FRAGILE.

RelOards and
PuniShnlents
II OF apropos Of anything in par
ticular, not with the intention

ticular, not with the intention
of drawing any definite moral,
we call attention to the recent tri-
umphal tour Of Marshal Foch
throughout the United States and
compare it with the death of Major
Whittlesey, who jumped off the
boat into the dark waters and into
the beyond.
Both were good soldiers. Both
were heroes.
And for that matter, so also was
the unknown soldier who sleeps in
! Arlington, and many another un-
known soldier whose body was
, blown to pieces in the trenches.
In the one case, however, the hero
received, in this world, nothing but
such a fate as we think suitable for
criminals. He was executed by the
instrument of war. In many cases
, he was horribly mutilated and left
to linger on in suffering.
Marshal Foch in his tour across
, the continent of America received
,twenty-nine LII. DIS, one D. H.,
I thirty-eight medals, and more than
! fifty diplomas. 1t required six large
packing cases to carry home his
, miscellany Of gifts. Among other
things, the great general took back
with him a wild cat, an Iowa prize
hog, and unique collection of In
! dian pipes.
! At least, we can conclude this
that those who think that we get our
suitable rewards and punishments
in this world are mistaken.
And the above illustrations show
why it is that we believe in life
beyond the grave. We simply have
! to. We know that if this life were
all, then the universe is unjust and
even outrageous.
And this calls attention to a truth
that a good many people do not
seem to understand, and that is that
moral convictions are based upon
the injustice Of the world, and not
upon its justice. It is difficult,
therefore, to appeal to the moral
sentiments Of people in any other
way than by pointing to wrongs
that are done.
It is because this world is so awry,
it is because the prizes are so un-
equally distributed here below, that
we are absolutely compelled by our
internal sense Of moral fitness to
believe that there is another world
in which things shall be evened up
bit.
It is hard to conceive how any
man can continue to be sane, it is
impossible to conceive how he can
continue to be good, unless he be.

ON THE TRAIL OF
THE PREHISTORIC
Room for archaeological
Research by No Means
Exhausted

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. H.
The prehistoric past OF the fox, deer
and antelope offer a field for fertile
research as result of finds i'm the
famous Ia Brea pits, a tomb of half
n million years. DIR. Il. II. Hadley.
local paleontologist, told members OF
the Southern California Academy OF
Sciences. He reviewed the past n
million or more years in which the
movements of the elephant or mas
todon. the three-toed horse Gg mio-
hlppus, the camel or camelops, the
saber-toOther tiger or smilodon, and
the sloth family were traced beyond
, the pleistocene age into the pliocene,
miocene. oligoccne and eocere per-
iods of the tertiary era.
While the horse, camel and ele-
[ phant of today remain they are very
small compared TO their ancestors
who were apparently wiped out by
I the last glacial period when the
] great ice fields of the north swept
/ down over n California that was not
so sunny. and these prehistoric giant
mammals with the giant ground
/ sloth became extinct in this freezing
spell of 100000 years ago, said Dr..
Hadley.
But, back in the eocene period a
million or more years before, Just
after conclusion of the mesozoic age,
there were no giant animals, and the
great ground sloth of the pleistocene
age was Just a little armadillo such
as now exists in South America, he
said. The imperial elephant, mone
than twice the size OF any existing
today, also came from little animal
that probably was no larger than our
horse or pony OF today.
The saber-toothed tiger, several
specimens OF which were found I'm
la Brea, was the most ferocious ami
NAL in the world about n half n
million years ago, DR.. Hadley said.
Much Yet to Discover.
While these facts have been as
certained by paleontologists there Is
yet much TO be discovered about the
prehistoric life and presentations OF
the American fox, antelope, deer and
bear. II is doubtful whether the la
Brea pits will contribute any more
or reveal anything beyond the pleis-
tocene age, DR.. Hadley said, al
though they have revealed more and
preserved for the world larger va,
rlety OF preglaCial period relies OF
s mammalia than any other spot In
the world yet uncovered.
There has been much discussion
Of the human skull found in the la
Brea pits, DR.. Hadley said, but noted
authorities have contended that II Il
only 10000 years OF age, and doe,
not date back with the sloth and
saber-toothed tiger, but tree has
been found in the pits, n cypress
which is believed TO have grown
more than a quarter OF a million
years ago.

animals had been traced beyond ms
