Rcbccca West. frec-thinking young
woman from Britain, says "God de-
signed mere men to be mcnials and
servants, leaving important tasks IN
life to women" Jane Adams, older
and deeper thinker, is not certaE,
that women are smarter than men.
You can't be sure about that. In her
opinion, linen have had so much more
opportunity than women to show
their talent, and up to now men have
produced the chief geniuses!"
The discussion is without meaning.
Men have produced all the geniuses,
as the word is generally understood.
No woman has been even tenth rate
in art. literature, war. science or
politics.
But that is nothing. Women have
created all the geniuses.
Archimedes, MichelangelO. Shake
speare, Newton, Beethoven, the five
greatest, were all made by women.
The creator Of genius is grsatar than
the genius.
Woman's work is internal; mans
external. Woman wanting to be
what man is seems as silly as for q
man to want to be a mother.
There is more real power, intellect
and emotion in women than in men.
but it does not show on the outside.
France doesn't think Germany
should have complete membership in
the League of Nations. Germany
threatens to start an independent
league with Russia. Austria, Scam

bly, Kemal's belligerent Turkey.

the new League Of Nations also as

sentimentalists persuade the United
States to join ITO preserve beautiful

Senator Abel, who advocated

was unfair to continue to compel
them to help keep up the roads

Senator Simpson led the attack

agreed to certain things that they

ries a total of $20,557, 524 for the
fiscal year beginning July l, as
compared with $40, 1S1,262 last

One of the outstanding features
of the bill is the reduction from
$2,680,000 to $1,413,615 in the
item to the Teachers Retirement

it is confidently anticipated, will
arouse vigorous protest from the
