LESS MASCULINE MEN

Men are becoming less masculine women are be-
coming less feminine, lamens DR.. Shaw professor of
philosophy at New York University. Men are becom-
ing more fond of domesticty and women less so.
Accordingly, we now find "the social phenomenon
of duplex marriage wherein both love each other and
stick to business. The man has his work and the wo-
man has hers. This arrangement may have improved
the woman, but it has not helped the character OF
men,.
He opposes knickers for male golfers, one of
many evidences of less masculiny 1t is rather hard
to see just how he figures that out unless it IS from
the fact that mems knickers are much like Womens-
who borrowed them from Also he depores the
lapse O finale fashions from the severer standards
OF former generations shown III sucn femlnlzng as
purple batnrobes, lilac paJamas and silk slippers.
But good heavens, mani DIDN'T men OF the herolc
Elizabethan age all such frppery, and much
more, not merely in boudoirs but IN public? 1t must
take more silks and laces and ranboWs to destroy
virty. Some Of the weakest male sisters IN history
have been trousered, stlft-coared and silk-hatted
Males love colors less than females. All crea-
tion shows that Man, in adjudmg fine feathers, has
been going against nature. last public vestge OF
of his chanucIeer display is found III his necKIle. II
he can't put OF many colorS IN ms own bed
room or lodgeroom by his fireside, something
is going to bust and show the philosophy professor
whether there's any viriiity left IN the male sex.

LOWER PASSENGER REVENUES

A decrease in railroad passenger revenues Of "a
per cent in the last four years is explained due to
bus competition. Buses doubtless have been factor
and their importance is recognized by Of the rail-
roads starting bus lines themselves TO meet outside
ing attention.
One of them is the Steadily growing use of auto
mobiles for ong-distance travel instead of trains.
has been argued often that people take other modes
of transportation because railroad travel is expen
sive and that the railroads would actually increase
their revenue by moderate lowering Of fares. This
sounds reasonable to the general public but does not
seem yet to have convinced the railroad operators.

NEW WAR LORD

Premier Mussolini of Italy not content with being
already the head and most OF the body of his cabinet
has taken over the ministry left vacant by reSIg-
nation. He announces
Il intend to devote my best energies to the army
in order to make even effective instrument
of Italian power"
Is this the beginning of new chapter in Musso-
linis career? He has always aped Napoleon and IS
said to regard himself as a new incarnation of the
great Corsican. But for the most part far he has
confined his program to domestic dictatorship merely
showing his teeth occasionally at Greece and some OF
his other neghbors It may be that he intends to en-
bark aggressive military program abroad.
If So it is the beginning of the end of Mussolims
power Italians may endure another Caser or Ma
pclean but the rest of the world will not.

WILHELM CONTRIBUTES

Kaiser Wilhelm IS reported to be giving $25UUUJ
for Hindenburg's campaign fund. Hindenburg re-
mains the Kasers devoted servant and makes con-
cealment of the fact although his managers sofpedal
that sort of business.
Neither Hohenzoern nor Hndenburg is capable
of change, any more than the old Bourbons were.
They learn nothing and forget nothing.
Fortunately for the world, and perhaps for poor
old Hohenzollern, there does not seem to be much
chance of Hindenburg's selection. Whatever enthusl-
as there may be for the iron field marshall, there is
little outside of the military and unker class for the
suking Kaiser But if the unexpected should happen,
it would be sad disillusonng stroke of fate for WI
helm He had better die in bed at Doom than sit on
an unsteady throne in Berlin with the powers doing
war dance around him.

John Beeler, internationally
known traffic expert, who orig
mated the skip stop" street car
system here, may be recalled to
Washington to study the merger
problem.
Mr.. Beeler's familiarity with
local street car conditions is well

body is anxious that an indie

tions here should be made in adj
dition to the transportation sur

Survey Near Completion.
Major William e. r. CovelI, As

today the survey Of the engineer.
ing firm will be completed within a
few weeks.
The data gathered will then be
turned over to the Public Utilities
Commission, other interested cor

selected to make an Independent

the best known engineers in the

on the merger question would un.
doubtedly have much weight.
