Fifty years ago women were sub III.

place was considered in thu home.
She was not allowed to entar she
big universities, she was not ;llow-

The new freedom offers the vo,
man every opportunity in education
and in the business and professio-

and hold office. On the other hand

MY FAVORTE STORIES
by IRWIN COBB

There is a scholarly musician in bne of
our larger cities who hated nearly all mod
ern compositions and especially does he hate
jazz. Ra9time formerly was his pet aver.
sion but lately he has transferred his main
dislike to the jazzy stuff The mere mention
of 1t gives him eXcrucating agony.
1t is stated that one evening he was on
his way across town to attend a symphony
concert. He had plenty of time to spare
and he rather idled along. He came to an
apartment house, on the top floor of which
lived professional friend who shared with
him these prejudices against the prevalent
melodies of the day He observed that
smoke was pouring from a basement window
and just then the janitor ran out of the
areaway to call the fire engines.
The passer-by dashed upstairs-it was not
an elevator tment-to give the alarm to
his associate. 1t was apparent that none Of
the tenants in the house had been notified of
the peril, for, as he hurried past a door on
the fifth floor the strains of a photograph
rendering one Of Paul Whiteman's latest
floated out into the hallway.
When he reached the next landing he
found his friend standing at the threshold Of
his flat.
DO YOU hear that?" demanded the resi-
dent pointing downward with a finger which
quyered
DO I hear it?" repeated the newcomer.
fairly frothinS at the mouth. Does a man
hear anything else these degenerate times. -
Together they passed into the apartment,
took seats together in the front room and
proceeded, by turns to curse all Jazz what
SOever. \ congeniaI ten minutes passed.
Then. down below, the host heard engine
gongs and shouting He stepped to a win
dow and looked forth into the night
Great Heavens" he cried out. This
huilding is on fire.
Yes said the visitor. 'since YOU men
tjon it, l remember now that that's what /
came up here 20 tell YOU"

THE TERTIUM QUID
By DR.. Frank Crane

~ HERE may, after ALL be tertium quid,
a third something. Things may not be
this or that, but something else we
never have imagined.
We may be as unreasonable pettifog-
cling lawyer in trying to make the universe
Say yes or no."
IS it Immortality or humiliation after
death? Perhaps it is neither. 1t may not
be existence nor non-existence. 1t is
ceivabIe that it may be something else.
You say there must ha a God or not
Cod But may it not be r~ird somewhat,
neither person nor force, but something
that lies between?
To q man born deaf the sound of
trumpet is entirely outside the range Of hic
ideas; yet there is such thing as a trum-
pet sound.
we have but five senses May there not
other senses we do not possess? We have
organ adjusted to an electric ray, or an
ultra-spectrum ray, or radioactive ray, or
:. psychic impulse?
On this planet personality is expressed
by flesh; but on another planet might not
a soul be expressed by flame or mist? Per-
haps by a molecule?
Here we are each either male or female.
On Mars may there not be a being that has
no sex?
Among our ideas is the idea that there
NAV be other ideas no man ever had.
There are but three dimensions in our
ken, but already men have suspected
fourth dimension that is not length breadth
nor thickness. and considerable has been
written thereof.
