Lots of Real Women

feminine population we'll in mind
Doing so might alleviate their wrath
at our carelessness and laziness and
crime.
There are, it is true, a great many
women who exist like parasites, who
do nothing except look after their
own beauty, who are selfish and vain
and idle. But there are still women
who lead active, normal lives and
who fulfil their duties as citizens
and as wives and mothers.
With two-fifths Of American
womanhood on the farms and with
a large number of other women who
live busily in small towns, and with
that greater number who reside in
cities and who keep their babies
clean ard well fed and their homes
trim and neat, it is easy to see that
the women folk of the nation are
not in such a bad way after all.
So much Of the talk about the
delinquencies Of the modern woman,
like newspaper stories of crime, are
merely evidences that we write and
talk about the bad things of the
world so much that we do not take
the time to look about us at the

FRI HE other day a group of the country's
biggest business men got together. They
fell to talking about boys-young men who
come asking for jobs.
What they said was not very fattering
Though our colleges and universities are pour
ing out ever increasing streams of graduates,
they agreed business houses are finding it
harder and harder to get the kind of young
sters they want to fill jobs
Why? It's quite simple, they said The
boys all want to start at the top. Few seem
willing to begin at the bottom and work up
as necessary today, despite universal educa
ton; as it ever was. They concluded that there
is something the matter either with the modern
boy or our system Of education.
While mulling this in depressed
sort Of way our eye fell upon headline in the
paper lying on our knee:
"BOYS BROKE, WALK IT'S MILES TO
ATTEND COLLEGE,"
H That headline, it seemed to us, answered
the whole question In the old days boys, as
rule, had to dig for their education. Like the
young men mentioned above-the boys who
walked from the Florida State line to Biz
nlingham doing odd jobs on the way to earn
their food, and who are now working their way
through Howard COllege-they wanted an ed
ueation so badly they were willing to fight
for it.
e Today the ambition is mostly on the par
ents side. They want their son to be "edu-

Now,midnight investigation Of spooning

the other day.
Maybe that ought to make the
evolutionary theory curl up and
quit. But probably it won't. Sci
entific doctrines are stubborn crit
ters not greatly influenced by de-
mandatory resolutions.
Quite likely the doctrine Of evo-
luton, in its present or modified
form, will be sticking around gen
orally accepted in scientific circles
long after its aggressive opponents
OF today are gone. They will nei-
Their crush nor hinder it.
1t would be nice if problems in
mathematics, biology, chemistry,
geology, astronomy and other sci
ences could be settled by popular
referendum or ringing resolutions.
Scientists would be spared much
laborious investigation thereby,
and education would be simplified.
Every schoolboy, who has stud
led geometery, has thought that
something ought to be done to
make the circumference Of a cir
Gle equal in length to three times
its diameter instead of 3.1416.
Legislation has failed to achieve
that result. Perhaps resolutions
adopted at a public mass meeting
could make the circle behave.
About the only thing settled by
the long and embittered contro-
versy over evolution Is the fact
that of those participating in it
know nothing about the subject.
They argue not from their lxnowl-
edge or study but from their preju-
dices. They have no ideas on the
subject, only feelings.
Evolution may be true or false
doctrine. In any event, it's effect on
the average man is zero. At best
it only really concerns the biolo-
gist studying the mysteries of life.
At worst it is only a poor guess.
1t may safely be left in the hands
of scientists to prove or disprove,
while we laymen worry about the
price of coal and more pressing
matters.

m 7 is fine thing to learn that
two fifths Of the women in

farms.
One would never know this by
looking at the movies or reading
some of the latest literary drivel.

woman, practically all the preach
ings about modern woman, and a
large part of the criticism Of modern
woman, infers that we all reside in
luxurious apartments, carry poodle
dogs and have love affairs. A
foreigner come to gather information
about our sex could seldom learn
from pulpit or press that any Of us
lived outside the glare of the white
lights; that we ever ate any food ex-
cept that prepared at a delicatessen
or served in a restaurant; that we
ever assumed any more re-
sporsibility than to see that our
marcel was always in.

people.
Modern women are generally
pictured as dancing and flirting and
drinking until many Of us have
almost forgotten that this sort Of
femininity is, after all, but a very
small part of an enormous and much
cleaner whole, and that we are
surrounded by women from all walks
of life who do none Of these things
and whose ideals are as high and
whose purposes as pure as those Of
the long-dead heroines whom we so
ardently admire.

known to science. since these rays
are so much shorter tbs n the ultra
violet rays, DIR. Barnard believes he
will see objects much smaller than
the cancer germ.
The Schuman rays will not even
pass through quartz, and so DIR.
Barnard will have to use lenses
made of fluorite. Since air also has
an effect upon these rays, DIR. Bar
nard will operate the super ultra
microscope inside of seeing some of
the starch molecules, the largest of
the molecules with this new APP
paratus. He estimated that the
starch molecule is about one-hun-
dredth the size Of the cancer germ.
+ DIR. Barnard succeeds in
making even the largest
~ molecules visible, he will
have accomplished a feat which few
scientists thought would ever be
possible.
Most scientists believed that such
indirect methods as the behavior of
gases and the so-called Brownian
movements would always be the
only proof Of the existence of mole
cules.
The Brownian movements are the
movements visible under an ordi.
nary microscope Of tiny particles of
matter placed in a liquid. This
movement can only be explained as
result of collisions of the mole
cules Of the liquid with the par.
ticles.

There are several methods, but
none Of them are simple. One is to
treat the mixture with superheated
steam in a specially designed recep-

At the RainboW's End

IT N this country we pride ourselves upon
1 being hard-boiled and practical. Espe-
cially our statesmen at Washington.
Thus it was that up to the very moment
of the arrival of Joseph Caillaux over here to
settle the French debt, Administration spokes-
men insisted France would have to settle with
us on terms no less gentle than were granted
to Great Britain.
Over and over again this newspaper
sounded the warning that they were chasing
rainbow; that no such settlement could be ex-
pected; that any adjustment would have to
take into consideration France S capacity to
pay and that this would depend largely upon.
what Germany pays to France
Today Callaux is on his way back to
Paris The Administration now officially all
mits that all this is true It's plans have been
sunk without trace. Sadder, but wiser, it is
now hoping against hope that France will
agree to pay us some $40,000000 year for
the next five years and that at the end Of that
time she will come back for another confs renee
and settle on basis of her capacity to pay"
And this $4O000,0O0 which Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon hopes to collect from
France represents not the to 313 per cent in
terest on $422O,OOO ,OOO-which rate Britain
pays-but $2,200,000 less than an even l per
cent
So much for the practical" plans of our
hard boiled debt collectors. The episode is
typical of the way we conduct all our foreign
affairs. We bluff and buster and pound the
table, grind our teeth and growl then, after
having thoroughly convinced the world that
we are mean and heartless lot, we gently
and quietly Guido everybody else in making
sacrifices.
Bank on this: Five years from now, or
whenever the second French debt parley takes
place, the United States will be glad to accept
the proposal Caillaux just made. The chances
are we will get even less real money, not
more.
Meantime, thanks to all this silly buster
ing, the people of this country are acquiring
reputation abroad which they do not deserve.
For above any other race on earth, ours is the
most generous and sentimental.
