The Disparity of Sex
(St. Paul DiSnatch\

When Clyde L. Curtis of Washington, D. c.,
spanked his wife with his open hand, the polio.
Judge gave him six months in Jail for IAN UNI
warranted assault" The spanking was given be-
cause Mrs. Curtis had her hair bobbed contrary t.
his wishes.
On the Friday previous French court, in Paris,
handed down decision in similar case brought:
by the wife that it was "the husbands privilege to
punish his wife for any dereliction in her duties
even if she nags beyond endurance" the decision
being based on an old French law, still in force.
This is undoubtedly similar to the old British law
which permitted husband to chastise his wife but
with rod mo thicker than his thumb"
The contrast between the attitude toward women
in Europe and in America was never better shown.
Let one man beat up another in a fight and the Of
fender usually gets off with perfunctory fine.
In one state the wife-beater is certain Of the LASH
If, as the National Women's party asks alP
discrimination in favor of or against women were
wiped out, the protection now available to women
would be removed from American law The law
recognizes the fact that there disabilities of sex,
not law-creaed, but disparity put there by nature
The shield of the law is interposed, handed down
from ancient chivalry. So long as our courts give
offenders six months in Jail or the whipping post,
and European courts affirm the right of the man
to chastise the woman, there will be little force
behind any argument for change in the United
States.

Who Controls The Air?

The advance of flying raises anew the argument
anent that always debatable question Of state SOW
ereignty. Who is going to control the air. the fed
era government the sovereign states?
If old preeedents followed the federal gov
eminent will control interstate flying, and each state
will control flying within its borders for such
general principle and division of interest has
been applied to regulation Of business to control Of
railroads, to jurisdiction in court matters.
This precedent was established in times when a
journey across a state line event, when bust
houses which carried on their trade outside
their own community were exceptional. A days
journey in those times journey across a coun-
ty. days journey in these flying tmes-is jour-
ney a country. No airplane constructed even
today has such clipped wings that its flying range
is limited to state, and for this reason the argu
ment that all flying control should under fed
eral jurisdiction has much weight.
One other fact which adds merit to this argument
is the evidence Of the present move to- have the
states establish uniform traffic code for the regula
ton of motor vehicle movements If even the auto
mobile has made state regulation of travel annoy
ing, certainly the airplane, in ten years at least
will make state regulation a nuisance.

A Dictator For America

Speculation political science is an innocent i.
not profitable diversion whether it be INDUCED in on
the stoop Of village general store, on the CLASH,
lecture platforms of Williams College. The Ohio
State University professor who told the high minds
gathered for the Institute of Politics at Williams
town that the United States might some day have
need Of dictator because the public longer took
any interest in public affairs. therefore express
ing opinion for which he should be drawn, quar-
tered and deported in pieces to Italy, Russia, Spain,
Portugal and other dictator-loving lands.
Granted that the American people have become
apathetc towards their public duties and privileges,
1t a bit hard to picture this country standing
for much Mussolinizing. While the tendency in
American government has been to delegate more
and more power to the chief executive, democracy
provides an excellent club to hold over the head of
chief executive. If he misbehaves, the club FALLS
effectively though without bloodshed and revolu.
ton. The trouble with Mussoni-like dictator Is
that he is his own boss and can't be fired when he
misbehaves.

contrast to her sulkiness at the din

Faiths unaccustomed brilliance and
popularity, seemed to be shimmeying
with light.
Her golden eyes were wide, lumi-
nous, as if incandescent lamps had
been turned on behind. them. Ra-
dance shimmered over her lovely,
apricot-tinted cheeks; smiles curled
her small, ripe-red mouth, tugged at
dimples, permitted dazzling flashes
of little, milk-white teeth. And con-
stantly, as she talked, her tiny hands,
entirely free of rings, fluttered like
white moths, whose wings are tipped
with rose. She could not keep stiM,
flashing about the room in humming-
bird darts that sent her full, apple
green taffeta skirt swishing and rust
ling seductively. And wherever
Cherry was, there, too, was Glenn
Andrews.
His rather thin lips quivered every
time he tried to speak to Cherry, and
his eyes chung to her with awe and
admiration.

started SO auspiciously was slowly
taking on the character of a night
