GENERAL ROSALTE'
MAKES HER DEBUT
AS AN ECONOMIST
Suffrage Leader Pub
fishes thoughtful
Volume.

WOMEN novelists we have with
US in abundance. Women
poets and rhymsters we have
with as to an unnecessary. ex-
tent. And an occasional woman
playwright adorns our dramatic
roster. But women, who will
dare to tackle ccnstructively eco
nonnic questions great, big, Sc
rious ones-are sparse indeed.
Even "this freedom" of women
has not as yet turned upon or
into the world an appreciable
number Of women economists.
And so when book Of an1az.
ing comprehension and knowledge
of detail about economic issues
is produced by q bit OF woman
well naturally, we "sit up and
take notice''-especiaIly when that
woman has charmed US with her
grace in dancing, her skill at
bridge, her sheer Joy in the
lighter side OF life.
A phenomenon? No. just q
welI.balanced. intelligent. delight
full woman is Rosalie Jones, the
author OF ''The American Stand.
ard of Living and World Co-Ope-
ration" just from the press Of
the Cornhill Publishing Company
in Boston.
You know her, of course. She
spends large part Of her time
in Washington, where she stays
at the Shoreham. Her voting
home. however, is New York. She
is a descendant Of the Jones,
Livingstone and Gardiner families,
OF whom syou may have read in
the early history of the Empire
State. She "came by" her politi-
cal and civic interests naturally
enough.
When women were struggling
so ardently for suffrage Rosalie
Jones was given good deal OF
prominence by her famous suf-
frage hikes from New York to
Albany" and New York to Wash
ington," during the Wilson Ad-
ministration - thus having con-
ferred upon her the pseudonym
Of General Rosalie Jones'"
SINCE then General Resale"
has been earning academic
and professional honors. She has
been admitted to the bars of New
York and Washington and prac-
tees law In both cities. She has
the degree Of Doctor Of Civil Law,
the highest degree in law, and il,
SO far as is known, the first wo-
man to have received that dis
tinction.
And now she has added to her
achievements undoubtedly the
greatest-that Of writing a book
Of about three hundred pages that
deals exhaustively with the Ameri-
can standard of living and its in.
fluence on our international reIa1
tions in the fields of immigration
and trade. II it sounds heavy,
these especial sounds" are de-
ceptive, for the book is thoroughly
readable with the material pre-
scented in a newsy, simplified style.
If one should not have the time or
inclination to read the entire book
a glance at the illuminatingly out
lined chapters In the beginning
will reveal on just what pages
ones particular interest may be
considered.
As most people rather enjoy
taking stock of their hnowl-
edge, or lack Of it, there will be
given here the list Of questions
that the publishers of Rosalie
Jones book have the temerity to
state that the average American
cannot answer" but which are
definitely and lucidly answered in
the American Standard Of Liv-
ing"
Here are the questions:

desires others to compete, yet he

DRINCE CAETANI, the Italian
ambassador. is one Of those pic
turesque and debonair personages
who is born to be written up"
And he will figure conspicuously in
the society. columns in the next
week or two. Besides his dinner
last evening, at which Secretary
and Mrs. Hughes were to have been
honor guests, he is giving another
dinner on March / in honor Of
the Vice President and Mrs. Cool
idge and still another on March S.
That time, I believe, there is not
to be any guest OF honor. Then,
tomorrow afternoon he will be
host at a large reception, his
guests being invited to meet that
delightful countrywoman, Signora
Rosetti Agreeti, who Is making a
brief visit in Washington. Since
the ambassador is a bachelor, it
will devolve upon pretty little
Nine. Geisser Celesia, the wife Of
the secretary Of the embassy, to
play hostess for him.
Prince Caetani has been continu-
ously wined-yes, one may safely
say "wined," since so many Of his
hosts are of the diplomatic corps
since coming to Washington.
Verify I suspect his digestion is in
serious danger. Someone should
warn him of the fate which
threatens any bachelor, wealthy,
engaging and Of high station, in
Washington; and might cite the
case of those three warm friends,
Justice Moody, Congressman Fred
SE1Ch H" 0AAUII~HO" 0VS<AhCA
and Brig. Gen. William Crozier.
They maintained a bachelor me-
mage for several years, their hos
pitality and their popularity be-
coming a tradition. And apparent
ly they dined out every night that
they were not entertaining at din
ner, until finally Justice Moody's
health became so affected that he
had to retire from the Supreme
Bench-and the other two married
in self defense.

STANDARD OIL IS FEATURE OF DAY ON CURB MARKET
