"I am for a repeal of the nineteenth
amendment"
These words Of Mrs. Rufus Gibbs,
prominent antifeminist, were spoken
without trace of vindictiveness. Mrs.
Gibbs was vice president of the Ma
tional Anti-Suffrage Association and
president of the Maryland Anti-Suf-
frage Association preceding the ratt-
fication of the nineteenth amendment.
Since that date she has been legisla-
tive chairman of the Democratic
Women of Maryland. She has seen
politics inside and out. 1t may be
fairly said of her that her conclu-
sions are those of a woman who has
no ak to grind, no thirst for publicity
and no ambitions to be promoted.
Only after the greatest importantly
could l persuade her to talk.
Without a moments hesitation she
epitomized her views on women in
politics, which / have quoted In the
introduction to this interview.
| then asked: Women have had
the vote for five years at least and
for many years preceding in some
States. Do you think they have made
any noticeable contributions to poll
tics?"
A. With the exception OF aiding
in the introduction of calm and civil
ity about the polling places, l think
their effects upon politics have been
negligible. Much of that calm and
civility, however, is more attributable
to the general advance in culture
and civilization than to women's par
ticipation in politics. l think that
Clevelands epigram that women
would not change politics as much
as politics would change women" has
proved itself true. The women who
go into politics as officeholders are
differentiated from men only by the
skirts they wear.
@. Do you think women have been
any more moral in politics than men?
X X X
A | wonder how much longer this
age-worn idea is going to persist?
OF course, women are not more moral
than men. They say they are, but
that is because men are stupid enough
to believe them. My experience with
women in politics has shown me that
the old type of unscrupulous hack
politician has nothing on some Of the
women I have seen in politics. Let

fossllized bones as they did of any
other conveniently shaped pieces of
stone and bone. Hence a stone i'm
plement could easily have been left
among the fossils where an Indian
was mining" them.
The rough and unfinished condition
OF the Clipped stone tools found with
the fossils, Mr.. Holmes states, does
not necessarily indicate their great an
t1qulty. He points out that Indians
and all peoples who use stone tools
do not bring all their work to the
finest finish at their command, and
that the rough and half finished tools
would be the ones they would be most
likely to use in digging operations.
When questioned regarding the re-
cent hndlng of crushed human
skull associated with the Florida fos-
sil layers, Mr.. Holmes stated that in
fairness to the discoverers, he prefers
to withhold comment until their report
appears, and to examine the evidence
at that time.

Real Conquest of Air Yet to Come;

goods may be increased and the profits
of the Nation may be enlarged
Similar aids are asked of munich
palities, of States and of the Nation
as foundation for commercial avia-
ton. 1t is requested that the Govern
ment eq9ip and light the great air
ways of the country just as the Gov
ernment equips and lights the great
waterways of the country. Air trans
portation will move between points
where the municipalities lay down IA
ciiltleS for traffic, just as tranSporta-
tion by road moves where the munich
palities build roads. Beyond that no
aid is required and none is asked.
On this foundation private capital
will build for the conquest of the air
that is, for its reduction to the peace
full use of mankind in order to eXpe-
dite the turnover of goods, the move
ment Of capital and credit and thereby
Increase the earning power Of those
who use them.
Quick Profits Unlikely.
Assuming the foundation the build
ing up of commercial aviation may be
a profitable enterprise. But let no
one deceive himself to the effect that
he can put a few dollars at work in
such an enterprise as this and reap
quick and great reward. Capital
that embarks in transportation must
necessarily be patient capital. A great
majority of the enterprises that are
being put together at the present time
to carry on transportation by air will
never pay dividend, but will, on the
contrary, be absorbed and lost
AS a business enterprise commercial
aviation has many allurements, but
safety of principal is not one of them
There will be many mistakes-in
equipment, in operation, in finance, in
the matter of working capital, in in
surance and in many other aspects of
this trade. Mistakes will have to be
paid for in cash and in time.

T HE present agitation for a
change in our aerial defenses
is not due to a clash of inter
Il est between the Army and the
Navy, as many are led to be-
HeVe, but is based on a fundamental
need of the country. Neither is it a
result of the Shenandoah disaster or
any other particular event. The sub
lect of the controversy is the defense
of the Nation and not some minor
point such as the personnel in naval
aviation or the promotion status of
aViatOrS.
Many writer's, in recording their
impressions of flying, have stated that
people on the ground appeared to be
Ike so many ants crawling on the
surface of the ground. The more
flying any one does the more the
realization is driven home that sur

Helpless Before Aircraft.
Men who fly regularly apply this
conception in their everyday think
ing and feel it obvious that the action
of the air force in time of war will
not only transcend the operations of
surface forces, but that these earth
bound units are helpless before air.

e. C. Cooper, who for some time
past has been about Rowlandville,
on Monday forged two checks for
$40 each, making small purchases al
the stores of Eli T. Reynolds & Son
and Alice & Shepherd, in this town,
and receiving the change in each
instance.
The checks were drawn on the
Rising Sun Bank, payable to e. G.
Cooper, one purporting to be signed
by u. G.. Hartso, of Rowlandville,
and the other by Wiley Elier, of the
same place.
In the afternoon the check pur-
porting to be endorsed by U. G..
Hartso was presented by Mr.. Alice
for deposit. Cashier JOS. T. Tyson
pronounced the, signature forgery,
and shortly afterwards the other
check was presented and it too was
pronounced forgery.
Investigation revealed the fact
that Cooper had been at the railroad
itation earlier in the afternoon,
where he had told parties he was
going to New York to see his
mother, stating she was i'll in a
hospital. He has not yet been ap-
pretended.

PEEASANTS KILL YOUNG

Chinese ring-neck pheasants. with
which the covers of the State are be-

game.
These birds are protected by law
and the Staate Game Department in

pheasants are destroying the eggs OF
other game birds, and young rab
hits, it is likely the ban will be lifted
to allow the killing of pheasant dur
