MACHINES

The machine makes for higher wages for those that
work it. Higher wages create new demands New
demands make new jobs This is the basis for the new
philosophy of the machine age Between the invention
of the machine that usurps the work of human hands
and the demands and jobs there transition
hardshps, but the old belief that the machines makes
the worker poor may be safely contradicted.
Since 1920 American factories have dispensed with
the services Of 100000 workers through the develop
ment of machines and efficient production meth
ods In the period the railroads released 100000
men, due to increased operation efficiency. Agrcu-
ture is producing with less labor. But these
men not out Of work.
Popularizaton Of the automobile has given steady,
profitable employment to 100000 men, exclusive of
those engaged in their actual manufacture The cleo
trio refrigerator and oil burner have created positions
for 100000 statesmen and installation mechanics. In
eight years the teaching population has increased 1885,
600 and the army Of einsurance solicitors has added
100000 recruits.
Up to this time it has been to the benefit of labor
and society to produce with as little human labor as
possible. It remains to be seen whether there is
point in the evolution Of machine production beyond
which the nation cannot go without permanently aug
menting its army of unemployed.

So goes it. And, meanwhile, of

MASCULINITY AND FEMININ-
ITY

For many years psychologists
had no difficulty in describing the
differences between masculine and
feminine characteristics. Men
were more aggressive, adventurous,
untiring, and had scientific, rea-
soning mind. Women were shy,
retiring, more emotional, delicate,
imaginative.
But within the last few years,
there has been q remarkable change
in the mental attitude of the two
sexes so that they are becoming
more alike. Men are cultivating
many Of the finer qualities, such as
love Of the artistic and the finer
emotional qualities, and women are
entering the business, scientific and
athletic fields and acquiring much
of the aggressivcness and scientific
reasoning Of the male.
The clinging vine type Of wom-
an who used to faint whenever a
strong man came near, has disap-
peared. Women are learning to
brag about their strength rather
than expect sympathy for their
weakness. They have discarded
their enveloping skirts, bustles, cor
sets and other clothing monstrosities
so that their wearing apparel today
is actually more sensible than that
worn by men. Girls feet are be-
coming larger and their figures
slenderer. In fact, many writer's
describe their heroines as having
figures slender as young boys.
The bullying man who built his
superiority by sheer physical bru-
tally has passed on with the going
years. Intellect is today far more
important than muscle for maintain
ing leadership. Men are becoming
slenderer, more alert and possibly
more sensitive. Men excel at many
of the trades that might be consid-
cred effeminate. Some Of the lead
ing dressmakers, perfumers, artists
and poets are men. On the other
hand women are entering the bust
ness world. Two among the larg-
est real estate concerns in Los
Angeles are headed by women.
Women are entering politics, me-
chanlcS, newspaper WORK, anu many
other trades that were formerly con-
sidered exclusively mems domain.
In spite Of this switching Of po-
sition, there is no danger of any
great biological change, but the
mental and emotional adjustments
which are taking place in our time
should bring about more happiness
and better health to both sexes.
Many of the lower forms Of life
are bisexual as, for instance, the
snail is both male and female inside
of the same shell. Such abnormal
tiles occasionally appear in the
human family, but they are not
able to reproduce themselves. But
it is true that in the embryo, both
male and female begin from the

PREPARING FOR AIR TRAFFIC.

How rapidly is commercial aviation in the United

anyway?

thing about it. And here is what he Thinks
Detroit, considering building new airport, asked
Stouts advice as to the site And Stout promptly told
Detroit that instead of building airport it ought
to build 20, right In very short time he said
it would be using all of them to capacity
It becomes and more obvious every day that
aviation has only started to grow Stout's advice to

least. city that equps itself to handle air traffic

IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 22.-The latest
contribution TO the gaiety of Gotham
is Turkish bath emporium which
serves vaudeville show to its over
night guests. Insofar as l know,
it's the only continuous all-night
show to be found anywhere in the
world.
The bath proprietor discovered
that when the portly papas had left
the rubbing room, they craved mu-
sic and song. So a jazz band was
introduced to accompany the ablu-
tions. From this gradually evolved
q theater where the bathrobe bri-
gade could retire for relaxation be-
fore dropping into bed.
Because Of the mixture of nations
that gather in the steam rooms dur

and Yiddish as well as English.
A few years ago "Hallelujah, I'm
Bum" was frowned upon as the
marching song of the "wobblies," or
/. w. W.. Today it's chanted on every
corner and avenue Of New York. A
few years ago one might have flirted
with those authorities who saw radi-
calism Selling the nation by the
throat. Today they sell extra verses
at 20 for five cents in Times Square.
Photograph shops in the Broadway
belt grind out the ''wobblie" hymn
by the hour. Radios broadcast it
and every urchin chants it from his
bootblack stand.

FREEDOM OF DISCUSSION

In this issue, The Tribune publishes page adver-
tsemen inserted and paid for by the adherents Of the
candidacy of Alfred Smith. 1t will be the policy of
this paper through the campaign to afford all political
factions freedom Of discussion through the medium
more than fair play and long the adherent of
any candidate refrans from personal abuse and sticks
to the issues Of the campaign it is the duty of
paper to furnish him forum either in the news
columns the advertising section the exigency
warrants.
There is limit Of course to political discussion in
the columns of newspaper the size of the Trib
une, but it proposes to cover adequately, fairly and
without bias the outstanding features of the national
and state campaigns SO that it's readers will be thor
oughly informed upon the issues and the qualifications
of the various candidates.
Few newspapers of standing seek to force political
decisions upon their readers That is not the function
of an independent newspaper In this enlightened age
with many of communication, many
agencies for the dissemination of political nforma-
ton the voters can without interference reach just
decision.
It is not the intention of The Tribune to tell any of
its readers how to vote in the national state
paign. The issues were squarely put before the
people at the June primaries the issues being
discussed again this fall and the should be quail
fled to form their decisions without any outside
pressure
After having studied the and the issues, vote

benefits of free Republic such ours another is the
boon of independent press, uncontrolled and unter-
rorized by any political faction machine.

publican opposition has taken the
,, side Of the utilities.
Senators Wheeler and Walsh
are assailing the trust" in Mon
tana, where Wheeler is a candidate
for reelection and the Montana
Power company is understood to be
supporting his Republican opponent,
Joseph M. Dixon.
In Minnesota the utilities are
lined up against Senator Shipstead,
the Farmer-Labor candidate, who is
making power one Of his main cam
paign points.
The power issue cuts party lines,
as may already have bsen observed.
Republicans and Democrats are
likely to be found on either side of
the fence and where the issue is
not raised it is generally because
both candidates are sympathetic with
the utilities.
There has been a power fight on
in New York for some time over
Governor Smiths program and this
has been considerably accentuated
by selection of H. Edmund Machold
as Republican state chairman and
Of Albert Ottinger as Republican
candidate for governor. Machold is
a power magnate and Ottinger is
closely allied with the opposition to
Smiths program.
In Arizona the question is para
mount because of the Boulder Dam
project. The Democrats are also
using the power issue in Colorado,
with special stress laid on it by Con-
gresham Taylor. In California
Senator Hiram johnson is making
his entire campaign on power and
Boulder Dam.
In Missouri the Democrats are
using the revelations Of public
utility propaganda methods as re-
vealed by the Federal Trade Com
mission.
Joseph Daniels recently charged
that in North Carolina the utility
interests had entered the campaign
and that many Of their leaders were
in the anti-Smith group.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Yellow Skin


Question: A. J. asks: "What
causes the skin to become yellow
about the eyes and mouth? What
can be done for it"
Answer: Your trouble is un-
doubtedly caused by what the lay
man knows as biliousness. This
means some disorder affecting the
liver or gall bladder. When these
organs do not function properly
because of overwork, some Of the
bile is retained in the system, MAX
ing the SKIN show q decided yellow
tinge. A short fast followed by q
proper diet usually brings about q
clearing up of the skin within a
short time.
Bacon Grease Gravy
Question: Reader. writes: my
mother made some bacon gravy for
the cornbread and, knowing there
was no bacon in the house for two
weeks, ! questioned her and found
she has been holding the bacon
grease over for two weeks in q can.
She stood me up and down that it
was still healthful food If kept even
longer in the cooler"
Answer: In the first place l do
not advise the use Of bacon grease
in the making of cornbread, but it
will keep for weeks and even months
without spelling if it is kept in a
fairly cool place.
Superfluous Hair
Question: Marilyn A. writes:
II use peroxide on my face and
arms for bleaching purposes and
have been told it will grow superflu-
Gus hair. Please tell me if this is
true?"
Answer: There is evidence to
show that the continued use of per-
oxide will discourage the growth of
hair rather than to promote it.
