shows that the pyramid is not
oriented exactly to the four
points of the compass. It's orien-
tation, however, is surprisingly
near to accordance with the car
dinal points, thus furnishing
proof not Of divine inspiration,
but of human imperfection. Evil
IDENTIFY a strenuous effort was
made to have the pyramid stand
exactly square, by celestial OBJ
servation, which effort, of course,
implies human, not divine, knoWl-
edge.
Long Passage
There is another thing bearing
on the same question. The pyra-
mid contains long, narrow,
straight passage, running from
secret chamber deep under the
center of the enormous pile, up
through the masonry to an exit
on the northern face. Since the
entire structure is plainly based
on astronomical observations,
this long, telescope-like tube d.
rected northward can only have
been associated with the axis Of
the apparent revolution of the
heavens. Examination shows
that the point in the sky toward
which the passage is directed
corresponds with that which was
occupied some 1000 B, c. by a
star known as Alpha Draconis,
which star, at that time, served
Polaris, or as Alpha Urase Min
oris, does today to indicate APP
proximately the position of the
pole of the heavens.
Now, If the pyramid had been
constructed to embody divine
knowledge of terrestrial and as
Economical facts, the north-point-
ing passage would surely have
been directed toward the true pole
instead of toward a star which
happened to be within a few de-
grees of the pole at the time
when the work was done.
Evidently the builders of the
pyramid were misled by the same
ignorance of certain long period
variations in the apparent posi-
ton Of the heavenly bodies, that
induced the builders of the an
cient Egyptian temples to orient
their axes with reference to &C.
lestial objects whose positions
have since changed.
Ancient Learning Revealed
But, while it is vain to look for
superhuman knowledge embodied
in the great pyramid. there is
full compensation in the informa-
ton that it gives us of the truly
wonderful advance that had been
effected thousands of years ago
in the study of the heavenly
bodies and in the mastery of the
mechanic arts. The pyramid OF
Cheops is the mightiest single
mass of masonry that man has
ever yet constructed. The perfec-
ton of workmanship that it ex-
hibits is equally admirable. In
grandeur of structural concep-
ton it has never been eXcelled,
if equalled. If the early Egyp~
tian builders were deceived by
secular motions of the heavenly
bodies undetected by them, 1t is
no more than would have hap
pened to us in similar circum-
stances.

1t isn't necessary to repeat all
of Mrs. Wilson's sentiments.
You're heard them. If you're a
Nice Woman-particula a Nice
Woman nearing 40-those senti-
ments have been part Of your
training Since you were a tiny
girl you've been admonished as to
how Nice Little Girls Should Be
have. You've been warned against
being q Tomboy or Acting Rough.
For Little Ladies Didn't Act That
Way--and moreover it would be
bad for your highly specialized
delicate feminine constitution.

clay than little boys. Given to
visions and ecstacies. But also
given to backaches, swoons, ode
clines" and other exhibitions Of
that frailty which was held to
be inherent in the weaker sex"
We're beginning to have our
doubts Of that theory. This pres
ent tennis playing, channelsWim-
ming generation of young ladies
is making us wonder whether the
weaker SEX is half as weak as
we thought it was-whether, in
deed, it needs to be weak at all!
And now comes Alice Beal Par
sons with some timely remarks
on this subject in her new book
"WOMAN'S DILEMMA"
Mrs. Parsons doesn't believe In
the traditional physical inferiority
of women. She believes that
society has wished it on" the

she must save herself, that she
must not play so roughly as her
brother, must rest more often,
and so forth.
ut is extremely easy to acquire
a headache or backache or tooth
ache by suggestion. In the IA
nous French experiment with a
condemned criminal a man was
even killed by suggestion. We
can easily see how the continually
repeated suggestions made to
women that they are inferior
physically have operated actually
to induce inferiority."
'But that's perfectly absurd"
cries Mrs. Wilson. Everyone
knows that women are more
highly organized nervously. And,
of course, the mothers of the race
must naturally be weaker and
endure more pain than the men,"
It's a touching theory and
lovely alibi, lady-but it isn't
true. The most subtle analysis
by surgeon Or psychologist fails to
reveal any greater delicacy in the
female nervous system than in
the male. Nor does the function

pain and weakness, as is proven
by the health and strength of the
peasant mothers who lead natural
lives-and the records of the
modern young mothers who lead
