been many more geniuses among men-although she thought men had had more opportunity to develop into such folk than women-if that really can be done.
 Be these things as they may, there can scarcely be any doubt at the present time that women are much more interested in the finer things of life than their husbands and sweethearts. It was Sinclair Lewis who in one of his devastating satires upon the modern man painted him as able to talk intelligently upon nothing but his line of business and the various makes of automobiles. Those of us who have taken long distance trips in Pullman smokers can testify regarding the woeful limits circumscribing the general conversation one hears among fellow smokers--or fellow male travellers. Yes, it Is sometimes very pitiful. Business, the stock market, automo- piles and few spicy stories-that's about all the mental recreation one comes into touch with in Pullman smoker.
 But compare the activities of the women. Is there an uplifting move ment under the sun in which they do not take a leading part? No answer, and that must make it unanimous. Is there any display of paintings in public library, or in an art gallery, in which they are absent? Again no answer and ditto. Is there anything appealing to the eye, the ear or the most cultivated sense in which they are not interested? Again unanimity.
 It Is the women-the women s clubs, the women's organizations, the women's church affairs, the women's sewing circles-that keeps the love of fine things tenet of faith. While their husbands argue about the tendencies of real estate and the probabilities of trade and the necessities of tariff high as Hamans gallows, the women-God bless 'em-talk about literature, music, art, and all the other things that are intended to glorify life.
 One need only to compare the contents of the representative wom- ems magazines with those represent ative magazines aiming to enlist the interest of men.
 It's the women-glory to their names-who read the ads. Compare the number of ads upon the sporting pages in the newspapers with the total of ads upon the other pages. The women not only make it possible for merchants to reach the home, but every hard headed merchant who spends money for advertising purposes knows fully and completely that if is the uomeo wbo ,oDct hn appealed to if the ads are to be ef- fective. Why, the women even watch for bargains in mems regalia, in- forming their husbands of what they read and advising when to buy and urging that there be hurry to get there before all the bargains in over- coats, neckties and socks are gone. Many women will do the buying for their husbands, too-after the lat ter furnish the money.
 Credit where credit is earned. Jane Addams undoubtedly was right in her suppositions. She is unmarried doesn't want to get married and has had plenty of opportunity to watch mankind from detached viewpoint. But not even she gave women all the credit to which they are entitled.
 Long may we treat 'em right.

THE OBSER YER Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

Although an increase in taxrate is a certainty this year. the six mil boost which grant of all moneys sought would require is entirely out of the question. city flnanciers say.
 Mayor Weld has echoed their feeling in the matter. The mayor is agreeable to some increases; he has repeatedly criticized the previ- ous administration for reducing ap- propriations to such a point that the 1 efficiency of departments, notably the department of public works, is impaired. The present condition of pavements lends substantiation to the mayors claim that such policy is unwise. The department of pub lie works, left with insufficient money after maintenance costs were paid, had little or nothing to spread out in pavement repairs. The re- suit has been gaping holes in pave ments in the center of the city and l elsewhere.
 The estimates sent by departm nts l to the board of finance and taxation, | do not present true picture of what the respective department are ! hopeful of being allowed. For in- stance, the board of public works submits estimates of nearly al streets | on which the common council has ! suggested paving or repair work 1 during the year. To the board of ] finance and taxation and the coun- eil is left the privilege of deter mining which are the most needy. Funds only in proportion to that finding are allowed or expected. This makes material difference between the boards estimates and the amount granted.
 Then, too, the police department l asking for 5 new patrolmen cannot be thought to seriously hope for such a grant. A few. possibly five, new men will be allowed it is ex- pected; but IS never. There too, is a reduction to be figured off. Several departWents are seeking replacement or additions in their items of equip ment. A deep slashing there may be l looked for. A new vault for ths town clerk to cost s30,00o, and s25,o00 with which to open the isolation hospital are large items which may not come out of .the finance boards 1 crucible intact, but may beIlaid over. The park department, asking more than twice what was asked last year, and the health department with a budget of nearly twice the size it now operates on will be call- ed upon to do some convincing ex- 1 plaining before the desired increases are forthcoming.
 Looping off of several of the large items and pairing of hearly all is possible in the opinion of some municipal financiers. It is through such a program of pruning" that the city's hope for a taxerate not much higher than that of the cur rent year, certainly not six mills 1 lays.

HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON FLOODS DODGE
RESERVOIR PLAN
Let Big Bills Caravan
Talk on More Levees

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The
house flood control committee today
continued to hear public pleas for
congressional action. 1t is consider
ing only three definite plans.
These plans, representing the view
points of spokesman from widely-sep-
arated sections of the Mississippi vail
ley, included:
1. A combination levee spillway
scheme, with complete federal control
of all tributaries of the Mississippi,
advocated by F. G. Jonah, of st.
Louis, chief engineer for the st, Louis,
San Francisco railway.
2. A permanent forestation and a
revised drainage policy in the upper
Mississippi Valley and along its trib-
utaries, to stop flood waters at their
source, urged by state senator W. H.
Markham of Wisconsin, chairman of
the state legislatures committee on
flood control.
8. A plan to move levees southwark
and create a huge diversion channel,
west of the Mississippi at Cairo, ILL.,,
juncture of the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, suggested by Ronald Kingsley,
representing the Cairo Chamber of
Commerce.
Politics and Profit.
Since the delegation from the Mis-
sissippi valley is representative of the
political interests of Mayor "Big Bill"
Thompson, the book burner, and the
chambers of commerce of the cities
of the Mississippi valley, the plan adj
vocated by practically every European
expert, of placing the main reliance
on impounding of the head waters of
the tributaries, especially the Missouri
and Ohio, and using them gradually
for government owned hydro-electric
power, is not even mentioned.
Levee Graft.
The best experts at home and
abroad are skeptical of the value of
levees as a main line of defense
against floods, but the engineering de-
partment of the U. S. army has
staked its reputation on levee sys-
TENS, and an enormous private graft
of contractors who build the levees is
involved. The chambers of commerce,
bankers and city politicians in Thomp-
sons crusade are fully cognizant of
the benefits to them of maintaining
the levee system.
The plan of the Wisconsin group,
far from levee building, is most like
that offered by real scientists. The
plan Of the Cairo Chamber of Com
merce involves most levee building
and excavation of a giant spillway,
with plenty of local pork"

MADISON, Wis, Nov. (FP)-
Disintegration of the R.O.T.C. unit

to apathy Of the student body and

blamed on "pacifist and radical"
teachers by army instructors.
So few students have Joined tha

discontinued altogether. The military
instructors point out that coincideni
with decline in student interest fos

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Nov. g.
The story told by nationalists of the
death of the two American marine
aviators, Lieut.. E. A. Thomas and
Sergt. Dowdell, who are being praised
by their superiors here and in Wash
ington shows the marines to be cruel
killers, who respected neither non
combatant villagers, nor obeyed the
laws of war in regard to prisoners.
This marine corps plane was bomb
ing and burning towns near Ocotal
while that city was occupied by de-
tachment of marines, fighting Nicara-
guam nationalists on Oct. s. The
plane ran into a forest covered noun
tain-side, and the avlators took off a
machine gun and tried to join the
rest of the marines.
They captured two non-combatant
peasants, and with threats and VIC
lence tried to impress them as guides.
Dissatisfied with the way the invol-
untary guides led them, they killed
one with their pistols. The other es-
capped. The aviators camped in
cave, and the next morning, seeing a
detachment of the Nicaraguan nation
alist army, and being afraid to sur
render because Of the murder of the
peasant, opened fire on it with their
pistols and the machine gun. They
were killed in the fighting.
