But while all this is going on who
stops to mention the sweet old-fash-
ioned boy? If the modern female is
a dud because she cannot do what her
grandma did, how does the modern
male measure up in comparison with
grandpa?
There ought to be two sides to this
question. AS a matter of fact, there
are-only one side is making all the
noise. It's a rather important noise,
too. No problem is more discussed
than the woman question. Why not
consider the man question? Aren't
lots of men questionable? Well, look
at 'em and judge for yourself.
\ ND now, laying aside all merry

to the root of this matter. There's

HorseshOes of Paper.

TT has been proposed to make
paper horseshoe that shall for
general purposes be the equal of the
steel article in the following way:
Parchment paper is cut into horse
shoe form and built up to a suitable
thickness by the use of a mixture OF
turpentine, Spanish white shellac and
linseed oil treated with litharge, and
the whole in placed under hydraulic
press. This produces very light and
uniform pieces and it is an easy mat
ter to stamp out the nail holes and
grooves. Instead of mailing to the
horses hoof they can be applied with
an adhesive composition whose prin-
cipa1 part is a solution of rubber in
bisulphide of carbon. Paper waste
could also be nodded into the shape
of a horseshoe by use Of the press,
but the result Is not SO good as with
the above. - /.

WHEN I was in London l used al
w ways. in glancing at the morn
ing papers, to get a first impressio
that the whole world was almost
asleep. There was. for example, a
heading simply called Indian Intel
ligence that showed, on close exami-
nation. that 1000 Parsees had died of
the blue plague. that a powder boat
had blown up at Bombay, that some
one had thrown a couple of bombs
at one of the provincial governors.
and that 1000 agitators had been SEN
fenced to twenty years hard labor each.
The following item, l need hardly
say. is taken word for word from the
press dispatches:

by messenger that the Shrek of

Negritos Dog Men of Darfur. Who

ton is critical"

animosity to be lightly regarded.
1t has a most potent influence on our
whole social line-up-it is appre-
ciably marring the status of woman
in the world today and interfering with
the service she may give and the re-
wards she should receive.
For this reason It were well to test
the valua Of the criticism directed
against the modern woman. Always
the objection SINNERS down to the
terse complaint that she "ain't what
her mother used to be-" There's no use
haggling over the matter. She 'ain't."
But is this just cause for her bet
terment? If she is to be dishonored
because she "ain't what her mother
used to be-" then by the same token
her brother must be debarred because
he "ain't" what his father used to be-
Therefore, let US consider the case Of

y OW many Americans know
that there are more linden
trees on Massachusetts ave-
L i nue., Washington, d. c., than
on Berlin's famous street, Unter den
Linden? Not only are there more
lindens but the American linden, or
basswood. is larger. more symmetri-
cal and a more beautiful tree In
every respect than Its European
cousin. Why, then. has the uropean
linden become famed in song and
story while the beauties of the
American linden, Tilia Americana, re-
main unsung? ..t-
Why do Americans see Europe

Have you ever drivin the length
of Massachusetts avenue on a night
in early June when the Hndens were
in bloom and wondered what that
faint, sweet, delicate. haunting, in
triguing fragrance could be:
A daylight drive along this famous
avenue. one Of the longest as we'll as
one of the most notable in the Ma
tional Capital. containing some of the
handsomest homes in Washington,
would reveal the fact that this
strangely sweet fragrance came not
from honeysuckle, as you perhaps
thought From what then, could it
have come? Only the dark green of
shade trees greets the eye.
The small, bell-shaped blossoms
growing in clusters are almost hidden
by the leaves. which grow in thick
profusion. Often the blossoms are not
discernible until one approaches close
to the tree. Glancing up. one dfscov-

it are American linden, Eastwood.

TN America we love such words
as gunner" and Joy ride" and
death cell"; in England they
Il prefer person of doubtful char
acter" and motor travelling at excess
size speed and corridor No. g." If
a milk wagon collides in the street
with. a coal cart, we write that a
life wagon" has struck a death
cart" We call murderer thug
or "yeggman." In England they
simply call him 'the accused who
is a grocer's assistant In Hounds
ditch" That designation would
knock any decent murder story to
pieces.
Hence, comes the great difference
between the American lead" or
opening sentence of the article, and
the English method of commence
ment. In the American paper the
idea is that the reader is SO busy
that he must first be offered the
news In one gulp. After that If he
likes it he can go on and eat some
more of II. So the opening SEN
tence must give the whole thing.
Thus. suppose that leading mem
ber of Congress has committed sui
eide. This is the way in which the
American reporter deals with it:
Seated in his room at the Grand
Hotel with his carpet slippers on
his feet and his body wrapped In
a blue dressing gown with pink
insertions, after writing a letter OF
farewell to his wife and emptying
A bottle of Scotch whisky in which
he exonerated her from all culpa-
bility in his death, Congressman

Might Watchman Henry T. Smith,
while making his rounds as usual,
with four bullets in his stomach"

NOW let US suppose that lead
IN ing member of the house OF COM
mons in England had done the same
thing. Here is the way it would
be written up in a first-class Lon
don newspaper: The heading would
be Home and General Intelligence"
That is inserted so as to keep the
reader soothed and quiet and is no
doubt thought better than the Ameri-
can heading, "Bughouse Congressman
Blows Out Brains in HOTEL After the
heading, Home and General Intel
ligence," the English paper runs the
subheading, Incident at the Grand
Hotel" The reader still doesn't know
what happened; he Isn't meant 10.
Then the article begins like this:
The Grand Hotel. which is situ-
ated at the corner of Millbank and
Victoria streets, was the scene last
NIGHT of a n CT re aSin q Incident"
What is it?" thinks the reader.
THE hotel itself. which is an old
Georgian structure dating probably
from about 1850, is a quiet establish
ment, it's clientele mainly drawn from

And always it ends in
hymn of hate for the modern flapper.
According to their own admirers,
those gentle ladies of yesterday were
perfection plus. They could bake,
boil, fry, stew and simmer. dust,
scrub, polish, pray and pant. At least
it is justif1able to suppose they pant

were past mistresses in every useful
art and departed this life with halos
already clamped on their eyebrows
and wings well rooted on their shoul-

makes but poor showing. What can
she do" Can she bake a cake or fell

your readers would like to know
a few details in regards to my
L recent wk. in New Jersey. In
the first place I was asked to go over
to Jersey City and write UP about the
alleged fight between the Pottawatamie
giant and the Wild Bull of the Pampas
which was held in what is called Boyle's
80 acres on acct. of SO many of the
spectators being Beyled.
Well on this occasion they was
hundred thousand spectators setting on
each others lap and the 200 press seats
was occupied by $50 gents the most of
who could not even read a newspaper
let alone write for same.
Well the first SO called fight was
supposed to start at 8 80 PM. so I
walked down the aisle at 8:15 and
showed one of the Jersey City police
mans my ticket which says on it Seat
No. SO Working Press.
Get out of here" was his comment
. and begun rushing me up another aisle
to the nearest exit and would of been
chased right out again into the beauti-
full scenery of Jersey City only for VIM.
A. Brady the theater producer who seen
what was going on and told the Wild
Bull of the Jersey City police force that
] was not as big bum as l looked.
Anyway I come back and found a
seat on Walter Trumbulrs ample lap
and seen the so called fights even if
they wasn't no chance for me 70 try
and write about them.
Well the fights is now history and
l may sum them up in the words Of
Jimmy Daugherty the we'll known
referee, namely that here was bouts
between the big fellows which a hun
dred thousand customers had paid to
see them and Benny Leonard could Of
took all 10 of the contestants one or
two at a time and knocked them for
row of s2.0O seats.
Well / was kind of disheartened with
my reception at the hands of the Jer-
sey City police so 1 got the little woman
and we clumb into the costly motor and
set out for Atlantic City where Mayor
Bader is q friend of mine and figured
he would tell his policemans to kindly
lay off of me.
Well they wasn't no special in
cidence on the trip except that I was
going along pretty fast in a town
called Tuckerton and 1 thought we
was still in the country but a police
man rushed out and held up his hand
and / said now we are gone sure but
all he said was slow down little
please and that is the kind of
policeman like and I hope they hold
the next big fight in Tuckerton where
policemans is policemans and not Wild
Bulls.
WELL we finally hit Atlantic City
w and of course they was con-
vention going on and I asked what
was it and they said it was con-

the temptation to begin after the

I thought, to the market 1 was writ

different ways for different papers
1t was matter not only of concern
but of surprise to me that not one
of the contributions was accepted by
the English press
therefore conceived the idea that
the incident might be used in the
most delightfully."- amusing way as
the basis of a poem for Punch
Everybody knows the kind OF verses
that are contributed to Punch by Sir
Owen Seaman and Mr.. Charles Graves
and men Of that sort. And everybody
has been struck. as I have. by the
extraordinary easiness of the per-
formance.
All that one needs is to get some
odd little incident. such as the re-
volt OF the Sultan Of Kowfat, make
up an amusing title, and then string
the verses together in such a way as
to make rhymes with all the odd
words that come into the narrative.
In fact. the thing is ease itself.

Excellent little thing. isn't it? All
it needs is the rhymes. AS far as it
goes it has just exactly the ease and
the sweep required. And if some one
will tell me how owen Seaman and
those people get the rest of the ease
and the sweep I'll be glad to put it in.
