A T first sight it does not ap-
pear to be very great, but
IA. the more intimately one
knows Europe and America the
more one realizes the divergence.
It all lies In the subconscious
point of view. The explanation
] am going to give about this I
have given so often that must
apologize for employing 1t again!
To get at the cause Of any
general attitude Of mind in a
nation, requires going back to
an examination of conditions
which. obtaining many generations
ago stamped the subconscious
minds of that time with a fresh
viewpoint.
OUR EARLY SETTLERS.
When America as a country
was first in being there were
very few women there. They had
to be protected from savages, and
must have been extremely precious
objects, sought for-and even per-
haps fought for-by all the males.
They landed in that new coun.
try with probably the same atti-
tude OF mind as their sisters in
the old places they had left--that
is. one of obedience and a general
hunbleness Of spirit to their lords,
who at that time ruled women
simply because they were men,
not because they had the especial
qualities of rulers.
But after a generation or two
OF reigning as precious objects,
the American women's subcon-
scious minds became imbued with
new sense of values. The i'm
portance and supremacy of women
at home became a natural atti-
tude. Demand and supply. you
see.

STAG LINES"
In the interim between supper
and breakfast there was dancing
by an artist from local vaude-
vile house.
An interesting thing about these
dances il the long stag line.
1t seems that more than half the
men come along, and they form
line about the ballroom or in the
center of 1t. and break in on the
dancers. At this dance there were
so many extremely young men

WHAT is A LEADER?
What is a leader anyhow? In
legislative parlance. he is one
who calls the figures In the
dance, the man who is followed
as he walks ahead.
But events for the past two
years in the Senate show that
this definition does not apply,
even if 1t ever was a good de-
scription of a senatorial leader.
The senatorial leader is in fact
and not the man who is pro-
claimed such. 1t is the man who

subconscious impression that she
must please and seek-not be
pleased and choose-if she would
gain a husband at all! So all
this makes her diffident.
ENGLISH IDEA.
However the highly educated
independent Englishwomen or the
FESTIVE rebellious neuter may in
their hearts tell themselves, that
they are mans superior, it is not
their real belief and the rank and
file certainly subconsciously feel
that man is the ruler. Even it
t. should be the real belief in the
hearts of the few militant ultra
modern ones that woman is mans
superior, their belief has as yet
had no effect upon the attitude
OF mind of the men in general.
So, to use an apt Americanism,
men in England are able to put
1t over" on the women, just as
the American woman's general
belief that woman is the superior,
enables her to put it over" on
the men.
Now that I have explained the
basis and logical reason of the
difference in the two nations
there are details to examine.
American women are the most
adaptable in the world--they have
some kind of sixth sense which
seems to enable them to fit into
the environment of any country
they may marry into.
KEEN ON BUSINESS.
Englishwomen find it very diff
ficult to alter. They retain their
Gational peculiarltles generally to
the end of their lives, because of
the heredity OF hundreds Of years

tendency among the Democrats
to solidarity that united discord-

But each Senator is a law unto
himself. Each one is a big fell
low at home. Each one can talk
as long as he pleases. Each one
thinks he is as capable to lead as
another. Each one is a star in
the cast, and none is willing to
be cast for minor role. 1t Is this
fact which makes the position of
so-called leader in the Senate an
unhappy and almost impossible
one. His only hope is to navi-

~ ORAH is a great orator and
one OF the outstanding
H. figures in the Senate, but
he would be of greater value to
the nation if he were less vac
illating. He takes both sides of
question, talks all around 1t,
and one is never quite sure
where he stands.
For, example, he was one of
the bitterest opponents of the
league OF nations, and one OF
the most notable members Of the
Senate at the time 1t was under
discussion there, because he did
30 much to eliminate it CON-
,pletely from American politics.
But now he has veered about in
q great circle and is boosting
the league to the limit.
1t is peculiar that a man so
vigorous and so able as Borah
should exhibit such sudden
changes Of front. And it is most
surprising to sit in the gallery OF
the Senate and listen to men
like owen and Borah complain;
ing about what is due the Ger
man people.
OWEN OFTEN AWAY.
AS for Senator Owen I cannot
understand his sudden leap into
this controversy. He is absent
from the Senate for weeks at a
time and seems quite satisfied to
let things go on without him.
Then, suddenly, he will return and
jump into the thick of affairs with
the air Of man who has been
directing things all along.

to watch the visitors who come to
Washington, particularly at the
close OF a legislative session. The
President, of course. like the

Lincoln Memorial, is to be seen
when possible. Naturally visitors

look at him twice. But he is
the exception to those who occupy
the seats Of the mighty.
Whom do most of the visitors
to Washington wish to see and
whom do they talk about most?
A little while ago, when the
Senate was debating the League
Of Nations, the casual visitor
wished to see the slight figure Of
Henry Cabot Lodge. who was the
reputed leader Of the Senate
say "reputed leader" advised
~, because it is an open secret
that the Senate lacks leadership.
In the League Of Nations contest
Mr.. Lodge was more of q
moderator than leader.
He piloted the varying factions
Of his party through the mazes,
keeping Johnson, the irreconcila BILE
and bitter-ender, and McCumber,
the advocate of the league, in the
same boat, though each seemed
bent on rocking the boat.
Senator Lodge has always been

navigation, and knowledge of it
stood him in good stead when the

suggested that the time had come

HOW TO CONTROL
POTATO DISEASE
STATE COLLEGE EXPERT TELLS
HOW TO CHECK DISEASE IN
GROWING TuBERS
MEANS INSURANCE, OF CROP
Rioht Disinfectant To Use For
Seeds Is Described In
Leaflet

Methods for the treatment OF SEED
potatoes to control diseases in the
growing tuber are outlined IN leaI-
let recently issued by the Montana
Potato Improvement association anu
Montana State college.
The treatment of seed potatoes is
good insurance even though the
grower may think his potatoes are not
diseased, this leaflet points out. In
stances are known where new land
has been infected with disease by
nIanting potatoes which the grower
thought were not infected and such
land is not safe for the production OF
clean seed for several years.
Before treating the seed it is good
nlan Tn sort out all rotted tubers and
others which are of doubtful value as
seed. Treat the potatoes before
cutting.
The two most common diseases for
which potoes are treated are the COM
mon potato scab and rhizictonla, ana
any disinfectant used should prefer
ah1v he for both. Since corrosive
subumate (mercuric bichloride) is
effective against both, and formalde-
hyde as commonly used is effective
against scab only, a solution OF the
former is the best all around disinfect-
ant to use.
Four ounces of this material isused
10 30 gallons of water. 1t is flrst as
solved in several quarts OF not water
In the bottom of a 50Sallon Darrel,
which makes a suitable container in
which to dip potatoes; then enough
water is added to bring up the
quantity to 80 gallons. Soak as many
tubers as this solution will cover 1or
one hour and then spread out to dry.
It is a good plan to set the barrel on
q box or a low platform and nave a
hole In the bottom so that the solutloh
can be drained off. In this way
potatoes can be put in barrel loose
and more treated at a time than II
they are dipped while IN the SACKS
The disadvantage of sacks is that they
absorb the solution. Potatoes mus
treated should be put in clean SACKS
that have not been contaminated LII
a second barrel is available it can be
filled ready for the solution when the
preceding batch IS done.
Since the solution is gradually weak
ened. one-fourth to two-fifths ounces
of dissolved corrosive sublimate should
be added after every six bushels treat'
cd and the volume Of the solution
kent constant. A fresh solution should
be made up after treating 80 bushels
Of potatoes. This applies when tubers
are reasonably clean; if they are very
dirty they should either be cleaned or
not so many treated befofe strengthen
Ing and making up fresh SOLUTIONS.
Caution: Corrosive sublimate IS
deadly poison If taken internally and
treated tubers should not be used for
any food purposes. 1t is not injurious
to the skin.
II should be handled only in earthen-
ware or wooden containers as it cor
rodes metal.
Do not place any treated tubers into
sacks or other containers which have
had scabby potatoes in them unless
such containers have been diSinfected.
