THE biggest social event to be sched-

Mother earth is going to sub ject Mars to a severe scrutiny, some thing like combined physical exami- nation and intelligence test. He will be-. measured and weighed, accurate studies will be made of his complexion, and he will be tested to see how bright he really is. Many of these tests will be for the purpose of seeing whether or not there is a possibility that he is inhabited--7but let's drop the metaphor here.
 Mars is the next planet beyond the earth, counting from the sun out, and the nearest to US except Venus, the next planet on the sunny side. But his distance from . is a very variable thing.

wINONA LAKE, Ind, July 19.- William E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson, whose one glass eye bears mute evidence of his sacrifice in England to the cause of world prohibition, in an address pre- pared for delivery today at the session of the World League against alcoholism announced he will leave in week to establish headquarters in Cairo, Egypt. . Mir. Johnson in the address discussed the prospects for prohibition in non- Christian lands.
 There are in the world" he said, approximately 600 million people who have been taught total abstinence as a religious principle for 1,200 years. When America went dry these Ori- ental people were stirred to their depths. They said that America, the greatest Christian power in the world, has not only accepted the Oriental teachings as to drink, but has actually incorporated them into her fundamental law.

Writes About American Women

-A--WE1ReS ADOub Amcf1can-W omen
 %American women have two natures, Recording to Prof. Freiderich Schoene- mann, of Muenster university, formerly Harvard instructor, who has pub lished a. book on propaganda in the United States. Regarding the women, the professor says: Ion ione hand, American women are most conservative and on the other they are daringH pro- gHessive." .-.,l. .4,s. ,..
 Professor Schoenemann thinks that Atnerican women are even more con eefned than British women about pub lic affairs and are not nearly 50 afraid of something new as women of other nations. He says American women have clear and more inventive minds and are memorable and unscrutiable. He believes they are on the whole open minded and quick to seize an. idea practical and logical in everything that pertains to winning converts to an idea, therefore powerful as propagandists.
 So the professor believes that any one who wishes to influence foreign. or domestic policy in America must first win the women.

Such. regal atmosphere is thrown about antomobiling in Germany and prices of cars are so high and the import duty is so prohibitive that only the wealthy can afford cars and they would feel deneaned if they drove the machines themselves.
