They never seem to imagine that there are very
many things about them which we have never been

instance, have you figured out why men never
like tc be talked TO at the breakfast table?
Why they laugh at women's clubs and join the
Ku.Klux Khan?
Why they bet all their money horse race?
Why they expect to have brilliant sons when they
marry empty-headed women?
Why they joke about talking much when all
the politicians belong to their sex?
Why they profess to believe in the home, but never
want stay there?
Why they lay claim to superior intelligence, when
the good looking woman who shoots her husband Is
always acquitted by a male jury?
Why, when they grow old and rich, they think
younger women marry them for love?
Why they will vote for prohibition and drink
wood alcohol?
Why they like march in Shrine parades?
Why they enjoy sitting up all night playing poker
and can't sit through two hours of a symphony con

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE
CRADLE

The scourge Of scarlet fever, disease that used
to cost thousands of lives annually in this country
has been lifted And the hand that rocks the cradle
played a dramatic role in the undong of the peril.
Seven years ago an obscure young Chicago ply.
stefan, Dr. George Dick, believed he had found
way to discover the germ of scarlet fever and to
effect reliable cure. But no funds were available
for the vast research he had to undertake.
Had it not been for DR.. Gladys H. Dick, his wife,
scarlet fever might still be killing thousands She
found position as techncian in an Evanston hos.
pital Much of her work mental. 1t was ner sal
airy that enabled her husband to continue the re-
search that led to the successful discovery of the
germ about two years ago and development Of an
efficient serum
Those were five hard years for DR.. Dick and five
hard years for his wife. They faced countless sac.
rifces to give to the world fact of the highest value
"a means of saving life.
DR.. Gladys Dick is only example of woman
hood at work. The story is typically modern the
wife and husband both earning. But this is the mod
ern marriage relation brought to an dea-the woman
helping to produce great gift for the world.

EVERYBODY WINS
It looks like everybody wins.


It's pretty good bargain where everybody
comes out ahead Boiled down the British strike
settlement would seem that kind of bargain
~ First the government won its point that 1t could
not permit any suggestion of outside pressure or
threat However yelled, to influence its decisions be-
cause to do so would the abdicaton of demo-
cratic majority rule
Second, labor scored its point that it stands sol
idly behind the principle of different standard of
living as the minimum of which British laborer
will work and that the reduction is not the cureal
for the ailing industries.
And third, the mine owners we're granted tenn
porary continuance of the government subsidy and
conditional revision of wages if found absolutely
necessary,
Another healthy sign is that all three parties to
the dispute appear to have made some concessions
in the general interest of peace
The government continued to continue the sub
sidy pending a settlement. The miners agreed to
the creation of a bipartisan wage board to consider
the question of possible wage scale and the
owners agreed TO a reorganization of the industry
along the drastic lines suggested to both the miners
and the royal coal commission.
A peace for which all concerned made some sac
approximately equal advantage. stands good chance
of lasting.
Anyhow here's hoping.

GRAFT AND GOVERNMENT

One ,policeman is reliably reported to have con-
fessed that for considerable period OF time he has
been taking money to protect bootleggers and gam
hlers.
~ The only surprise is the confession The
chances are that it was given only after some ON
cial who has had no share in protecting CRIME LOT
the sake of politics or cash. had evidence enough 10
make his confession merely corroborat1ve state
ment Of what was already known
The truth is that the control Of the government
of the city has depended upon giving or sellng Pro
lection to those who violate the law
The basis of machine control, and no one will
denv that there is very efficient machine in power
is favor to the law vioator.
Wv Why, otherwise, would it have been necessary
for delegations Of citizens to plead with boss 10
give certain candidates fair count Of votes in the
recent primaries?
Will any one deny that not one but a half dozen
such appeals were made in behalf of as many cand-
dates recently?
: Why, otherwise, would this city furnish the
amazing spectacle of having more than dozen men
of police and criminal record on election boards as
officials in one single ward?
why otherwise. would it be possible for men
who never work and who have no legitimate or vis
BILE means of support to live in the biggest hotels in
luxury to ride in the finest automobiles, to haunt
sther idleness in the company of city officials?
III The confession of this policeman may seem ike
a trivial thing, deplorabe affair, but not so very
important because policemen in other cities espe-
cially since the era of Vosteadism have been known
to take money from those they protected

and unimportant because of the small amounts he
took in comparison with the daily graft of Federal
Officials along the border, whose income is esti-

But it is not trifing or unimportant or trivial
It can be made as significant as the assassina-

city really wish to wage war against the comblna'
ton of government and graft.
Does any one believe that this one policeman
protected all the booteggers all the gamblers in
this city?
Does any. one believe that those who paid him
tribute are the only ones who operate without fear?
Does any one doubt that the balance OF political
power in this city, and through this city of the State
does rest the control and manipulation of the
elements with which this policeman carried on his
financial operations?
The incident can, and may, open up the whole
sordid tale of corruption of government, Of favors
to the criminal of protection to law volators, of be-
rayal of the people, of Juggling Of elections of crook

THE

THE PLUMBER

The bad luck that l call the worst
is when pipes in the basement burst,
and start the water rushin' round.
That's when a plumber must be
found.
A mans a fool who tries to mend
tiny hole or broken end in any
pipe where water flows. Who's ever
tried 1t, surely knows.
Just get the plumber on the phone
and use that coaXing, pleading tone.
I tried it once, when l was stuck.
The plumber hurried. SAY, that's
luck.
He spent no time in looking round,
but right away, the trouble found.
Now, that's real service, if you
please. The water flowed up to his
knees.
TN have this fixed In naught,'
said he, and then there came a shock
to me that jolted more than what
was wrong--he REALLY brought
his tools along.
An ostrich thinks he's out Of sight
when he puts his head in the sand
and so does a man when he puts
his in a silk hat.
