CCORDING to a newspaper dispatch,
II the men in England are beginning to
n revolt against the modern woman,
and are demanding that women return to
the dress, the manners, the ideals, and the
niche in life that they occupied in the early
days of their late dear queen.
Huh! That's old stuff. How inferior the
woman Of today is to the woman of yester-
day Is the burden Of the male chorus to
which every generation Of women has had
to listen It was only being the first lady of
the land that saved Eve from having to
lend an ear while Adam drew invidious COM
parsons between her and the women Of the
past, and told her that it took twice as many
fig leaves to dress her as his mother ever
used, and that his grandmother never cared
to come down out Of her own tree, and go
gadding about the forest.
Goodness only knows where they got it,
but it is a fact t!.at men are obsessed by
the idea that the women of the past were
vastly superior to NE women of the present.
Every bachelor feels that If he could only
meet a dear, sweet, angelic being, such as
his grandmother was, he would hasten hot
foot with her to the altar. Every married
man feels that If he could have only married
dear grandmama, matrimony would have
been a grand, sweet song instead of scrap
ping match.
But if man could wave magic wand over
the entire feminine sex, and turn the mod
ern woman into hr grandmother, he would
be as much appalled, at the results as the
man was who created the traditional Frank
enstein
For the modern man couldn't stand the
old-fashioned woman. Grandma would bore
him to death. He could find her an insup-
portable burden. He would flee from the
hoop skirted, helpless, prunes-and-prisms
woman of the past, and pray the gods to
give him back the modern woman, even If
she does wear her skirts to her knees, and
compete with him in business, and smoke
cigarettes.
OF course, dear grandmama had her vir-
tues She was so exquistely feminine. She
kept so completely within woman's sacred
sphere. She thought it horrid, and bold, and
too unwomanly, for woman to know any
thing about politics, and as for voting, she
would have been incapable of even thinking
| of committing such monstroLs act.
| Grandmama never read anything but flub-
dubby little love stories with a nice little
moral tackled on to the end, and sickly poe
| try, and so she m ust have carried line OF
conversation that vas calculated to act as
soporific on any listener.
| You can't imagine man OF today. chum-
ming up much9with wife who doesn't know
what the armament conference is about, nor
whether the Soviet is a new breakfast food,
or disease.
| Grandmother was so modest She wore
skirts that swept the earth and let show
barely the tips of her toes, and she spoke OF
the Limbs of a table, and blushed If any por-
ton Of the human anatomy was alluded to.

ESSENTIALS TO MARRIAGE
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

Probably to the end of time people will go
on endeavoring TO apply intelligence to the
marriage problem, and probably for the same
period people will continue to make marriages
for the most uninteligent of reasons.
Marriage continues because of the urge of
primal instinct which is natures argument and
the only kind that amounts 70 anything.
The reason that you cannot disprove mar
rage is because you cannot prove it in the
first place Whatever you can prove some
body else can disprove. But there is no an
SWer to an instinct.
Nevertheless here is one more, try at it.
We would suggest six essentials to sue
ceSSful marriage
1. The first is physical fitness. No amount
of romanticism should obscure the fact that the
basis of marriage is physical. Therefore, a
sound body free from disease and with a rea-
Sonable amount of vgor is the prime essential.
2. Children. There have been happy mar.
riages without children but they are distinctly
not the rule. They are the exception. Chill
dren is what nature is up to- And when we
try to circumvent nature, we are rather sure
to fail.
3. Unity. 1t is all we'll enough to live ones
own life and retain ones own Individuality,
and not be a slave and all that sort of thing,
but unless there is some spirit that shall blend
two personalities into one and give them an
i1diSSoluble oneness of aim, the prospects are
not DHgN. Ana tnere is Sucn tnlng as nav
ing this unity and also maintaining indi-
viduality.
4. A sense of humor, or religion. One of
the two is necessary. Both would be better
The reason is that marriage keeps us quite
close to realities, and the only way to keep
that cloSeness from boring us or making us
petuant and little is either to have a sense OF
play, which comes from the sense of humor
or have that high devotion which comes from
religiosity, and, as above stated, it is possible
to have both.
S. Confidence. You can get along without
faith anywhere else better than in marriage.
6. Friendship. Love comes with passion
but unless it can pass over into friendship it
will die. For passion is essentially temporary
At least, it is rhythmic always. Friendship is
constant.
l. 1t is we'll to think of these six points after
you have been married awhile and wonder
what is the matter. You are not very likely to
think of them much before marriage. And
perhaps it is just as well. For if you think
too long you are likely not to get married
at all

DOROTHY DIX,s TALKs-Do They Really Want Old Stuff

There were only a few books pure enough
for her to read. And she would have had
fits of horror~in gallery of sculpture.
The modern man would find grandma's
modesty very, very trying, and he would be
apt to think her evil-ninded, seeing harm in
everything.
Grandmama was sc delicate. She swooned
at every opportunity. She had Mysteries
when she saw a mouse She couldn't walk
a mile without leaning upon some mans
arm. Invalidism was cult with her, and 1t
was esteemed an elegant, lady-like thing to
do, for a woman 20 spend her life lying on
couch.
Can you see the modern man hanging
around girl who was always falntlng? NOT
much. When he received her swooning form
in his manly arms he would turn her over
to her chaperon and beat it. No sickly wife
for him if he knows it. Nor would the young
lady afraid of the mouse appeal to him. The
girl he likes is the sort that drove an ambu-
lance during the war and never turned
hair under she'll fire. It is the out-of-door
woman who can tramp, and play tennis, ana
swim, and is a genuine all-round athlete
and sport that men want now, not the neu-
rotic semi-invalid.
Grandma was so domestic. After she got
married and had children she never thought
about another thing but the kitchen and
the nursery. She never dreamed of dressing
up, anu Keeping uOISOIA dCLl dCCAFO ~ AOA hUS
band. Why any modern man who had the
kind of wife that grandma got to be in ten
years time would e out on the still hunt for
an affinity, and nobody would blame him.
Grandma was clinging vine. She couldn't
earn a dollar for herself. She was absolute
ly dependent on whatever sturdy oak was
nearest to her. Which was hard on the OAK
at times. A man with a houseful OF sisters.
for instance could not get married 'h1mselr
until he got the sisters married. Female
relatives, to the remotest generations, came
and draped themselves around the nearest
male prop when their own supports were
taken from them. Sickly fathers had to work
themselves to death to take care or big,
strong, husky daughters.
The modern man has almost as much dis
gust for the parasite woman as he mas LOT
the parasitic. man. Ais the woman who can t
face life, and who doesn't know how to take
care of herself fills him with repugnance.
He thinks he likes clinging vinesa but he
really doesn't want one hanging on to him,
sucking his lie blood. He wants a wife who
will be a help, not drag.
| The truth is that when men say they ad-
mire the women of the past more than the
| present, what they really mean is that they
want the old~ woman with modern improve
lments-grandma's silver candlesticks wired
| for electricity.

The NEXT Election

! n TINE months is long time in politics.
& ~ Much can, and usually does, happen
+ in that time, so that the most certain
thing about the Congressional elections next
Fall is their. uncertainty. Nevertheless,
Mark Sullivan, who enjoys a well-deserved
reputation as political prognosticator
makes bold to assert in The New York Eve
ming Post that the Democrats will make
gains in both the Senate and House when
the people have an opportunity again to ex-
press themselves-and, Mr.. Sullivan, let 1t
be remarked is not rampant Democrat
himself.
In the first place, Mr.. Sullivan believes
that the ehavy majority now enjoyed by the
/. Republicans rend IS it almost certain that
the Democrats will make substantial gains.
He doesn't predict an overturn in either
branch OF Congre :, but an overturn is not
out of the question.
Mr.. Sullivan feels reasonably certain that
, the complexion of the Senate will remain
unchanged. The republicans will continue to
control. At present the Republican, have
majority of twentyfour members, and the va
cancies falling W ere they do fall. mostly in
Republican States, makes it practically i'm
possible for the Democrats to gain enough
seats to give them control of the body.

KEEP INTERESTED
BY H. Addington Bruce

AYOBODY likes to admit that he is growing
N old. Despite the passage OF the years,
which cannot be denied, all would cling
to the buoyant feeling of youth.
To this end nothing is more Serviceable than
to keep ardently interested in ones work, ones
recreations, and the life of the world about
one.
Among your own acquaintance there must
be several old persons who, as the phrase is,
are Remarkably we'll preserved" They think
alerty they act alertly, they stand out in
sharp contrast to the great majority of the
aged
With scarcely an exception, you will find
that these remarkable old men and women
have variety of personal interests and take
as much delight in these as they did when they
were younger.
They have refused, that is to say, to sur
render to the advancing lethargy of age. Of
necessity moderating their physical activities
in some degree, they have yet remained en-
thusasts mentally.
And because of the energzing power of in
terest the fires of life have continued to burn
in them brightly. 1t is indeed saying worthy
of remembrance by all when a mans interests
begin to fade his life begins to wane.
Often with the fading of interest the end of
life comes surprisingly soon Again and again
one reads in the newspapers of the unexpected
death of this or that prominent man of bust
ness soon after his retirement from active
business endeavor.
Nearly always inquiry would show that with
business retirement there had been taken from
that man his one real interest. Having nothing
else to keep his mind pleasurably occupied,
having imprudently neglected to cultivate some
'hobby" to which he could turn when he
withdrew from business, he at once began to
Stagnate mentally.
And with mental stagnation physical degen-
Grafton set in apace.
He might have saved himself-aS many men
have actually done-by once more engaging In
in business, once more taking up the work
which alone afforded him a zeStful satisfaction
Falling to do this, continuing to live a wholly
uninterested life, the end soon came.
Be warned by his sad fate.
Develop outside interests, hobbies, avocations
while you still are young. Cultivate keen
interest in your work itself. And don't let the
years abate your interest either in your work
or in your avocationS.
Don't cease too soon from work, even
though that work may have brought you a
fortune making all further work unnecessary
Don't cease from work at all, if your work is
your sole source of genuine interest, as their
work is for multitudeS of people.
For always a vacant leisure means an aching
leisure, leisure of rapidly progressing decay
Remember this, and keep interestedly employed
in some way, if only in order 70 insure pro-
nged and youthful old ag,.

Old Engine

Old Engine
M Henri Lemonnier, curator Of the Condo
Museum at Chantilly, has made discovery
which throws light on the early use OF steam
as driving force, according to Reuter- dis
patch from Paris in the Westminster Ga
Eette. 1t was believed that the earliest steam
engines used in France for pumping water
were those which were constructed by the
Perrier brothers in 1880, and were used as
fire engine pumps. M. LIZ monnier, however,
has discovered documents which show that
in 1925 three steam engines were in exist
ence at Passy.
One was constructed by two English en-
gineers, May and Meyer, and the two others
by Boffrand; they were used for driving mills
and also pumped water to several districts
of Paris. Their power was reckoned, as 1t
is today, in horsepower. 1t appears that they
were invented in 1921, four years before the
steam truck invented by Gugnot, which was
used for transporting stones, was completed.
Steam engines of an even caller date,
adds the Gazette, are mentioned by histo.
rians. Newcomers engine was made in 1912.
