all the privileges. perogatives, eXemp-
tions and concessions she enjoyed
prior to the passing of that amend
ment and which that amendment
should rightfully nullify.
I'm woman and I'm strong for my
sex. But / do not believe that the
present state of affairs is a credit TO
that sex, nor that women in general
are being helped by a continuance
of that state of affairs And I'm glad
when a legislative body arises and
condemns it as has the house OF rep
resentatives in Alabama.
The trouble with most women is
that they want all the prerogatlYes or
clinging vines and all the privileges
of giant redwoods. They want the
ton and coddling they received when
knighthood was in flower, and all the
liberty, power and prestige accorded
the emancipated Mary James OF 1923.
Now, immunity and coddlIng were
never good for women. But they
were excusable in the sixteenth CEN
tury, for they were a partial recon-
pense for the very real wrongs IN
f1icted on femininity. But there's no
more excuse for them now than there
is for a hoop skirt on an Alpine hike
and they're just exactly as much
of a nuisance.
Woman is no longer a weaker ves-
sell" She has every opportunity to
acquire as strong Oouy anu dS
forceful a mind as man, and she
is almost as well protected by law.
Yet she still makes the same old ap-
peal to the emotions and prejudices
as she did when she was little better
than a slave.
Nowhere is this attitude shown
more clearly than in the matter OF
divorce. Generally speaking, man
stands about as much chance in the
divorce courts OF this country as
SNOWFALL in that well known troplea!
resort BY common consent "the
woman gets the divorce" and poses
as the injured victim. Yet any one
who knows humanity knows that
women are capable of quite as much
cruelty as men and are not loath to
exercise it. And if you don't believe
me, just stick around and read some
of the letters the ladies are going to
write in answer to this.

A Worm That Could Bite and
Fiqht.
Beware of giving way 10 greed,
Lest later you repent the deed.
-Spotty the Turtle.

Down through the water of the
Smiling Pool came a fat, wriggling
earth worm. The bright little eyes
Of Spotty the Turtle sparkled. He
was hungry. and here was a treat.
He began swimming toward it as
last as he could make his legs go.
Down went the worm until il was
almost to the mud at the bottom of
the Smiling Pool. Just before it
reached the bottom Spotty caught
one of those wriggling ends.
Ny, how good it tasted! He was
so greedy that he couldn't stop to
look at it closely He just drew it
into his mouth as fast as he could,
and had begun to swallow that first
end of IL before the rest of it was
wholly in his mouth. And then sud
denly something happened that
frightened Spotty more than any
thing had ever frightened him before
In all his life. There was a sharp
pain in his mouth as if that worm
had bitten him. And then he was
dragged upward,
Spotty tried to let go. but he
couldn't 1t was just as If that worm
had caught him and was hanging on.
He plunged for the bottom and swan
with all his might, but in spite of
il he felt himself being drawn up.
He plunged this way and that way,
but he couldn't get away. He laid
1t all to that worm. Yes, sir, he aid

understand it at all. All worms he

To Spotty this was worm that
could bite and fight and was stronger
than he. Oh. how he did wish he
could let go! But he couldn't. Or
him. He struggled and struggled and
struggled OF course. the more he
struggled the more tired he grew.
and the more tired he grew the
faster he was drawn up toward the
surface. The nearer he drew to the
surface the more frightened he be-
came.
His mouth smarted little where
he thought that worm had bitten him.
but not very much. Otherwise he
wasn't hurt at all. But his fright was
greater than any hurt could have
he wouldn't have been so badly
frightened. That worm had looked
exactly like dozens of other worms
which he had eaten. None of those
other worms had done anything but
wriggle helplessly, so he couldn't
understand this one at all.
For a moment the pull stopped and
Spotty once more plunged for the
bottom. He still had that worm in
his mouth. but 1t was no longer drag
ging him upward. But just before he
reached the bottom that drag began
again. And although he worked all
four of his legs with all his might
trying to reach the bottom, he was
drawn up instead.
Poor Spotty: 1t really was terrible.
1t was a hundred times worse be-
cause he didn't understand il and
hadn't the least idea what it meant.
For the first time in all his life he
was helpless in the water. That
worm was stronger than he. "Oh, oh,

ged up toward the surface of the
Smiling Pool.

Honesty.

"a child should always say what's
So" said Robert Louis, but his very
saying so told that a child very
often said what wasn't so. Why do
they? Why can't they learn such
simple thing as telling the truth?
I don't know. I know, though, that
telling the truth is not simple. IT'S
very complex and it's always tangled
up with so many other things that
ton that is more and more difficult
as life goes on.
Telling the truth and acting the
truth seems to be hard for adults IL
one is to Judge by everyday expert
ences. The mother who Is shocked at
the discovery that her son has kept
the nickel that the grocer gave him
in change finds it difficult to pay
nickel for that same sons car rare.
She either hides him as she enters
the, car or says he's four years old,
when the world knows he's past six.

because his son said yes IN the

an examination in which he had
failed, thinks nothing of saying he
has no taxable properties when the
income tax blanks come around.
Pelling the truth has to be learned,

to be learned, by hard work and prac-
tice and experience. The best way
for r-children to get good start in the

who practice it scrupulously day by

IT is a medium sized, thorny tree,
thirty to sixty feet high, with short
trunk and a round-topped head. The
leaves are simple, three to five inches
long, ovate, taper pointed. dark green
and polished above, paler beneath. At
the apex of many of the leaf stems is

more prevalent on the lower branches.
The flowers. which appear in June,

borne in dense heads on short stout
peduncles. They develop into large.
