Women Far
From Being
Sensitive
az MRS. wALrER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
For a long time women have been
called the sensitive sex. We are ac-
customed to expect them to burst
into tears at the slightest provoca-
ton. One thing that has been
pounded into us is that the female
is delicate and super sensitive
creature who must be gently
treated.
Utter rot, my friends. Compared
to men, we women are as hard as
nails. Adamant has nothing on us.
Marble is soft beside us. The skin
you love to touch" is in truth a
veritable rhinorceros hide when it
comes to enduring the shafts of
masculine criticism.
How meek have we been under
this long onslaught of vituperationl
For how many centuries did we bow
our heads under this avalanche of
advice" poured upon us! We en-
dured the insults of the Victorian
era like martyrs endured torture.
Nobody would listen to us. We
learned the ueslessneSs of protest.
Today it is the husky males who
shy at criticism. If you speak of
men in general as imperfect crea-
lures, some of them will tear out
their hair in handfuls defending
their brothers.
One man who seems extremely
tllin-skirlned to any joking about
his sex, says:
mo man likes to be told that he
is nothing but an earthworm and
sap. That's like waving red rag
in front of a mad bull"
Well, sir, no woman has ever
liked to be told she was an ig-
noramus and fool, but she had
to listen to it for a long time. OF
course, I don't wonder the man
gets mad at that. Who on earth
ha sever charged that these men
are earthworrns and SapS? Don't
we marry them, and we won't have
our husbands talked about like that
The difference between men and
women, as seen from "a Woman's
Point of View" during some pleas
ant years of razzing the former, is
that the women never answer back,
no matter what you say about them.
The poor things are SO used to be-
ing told they don't know anything
and to depending upon the public
prints to regulate their lives, that
they merely submit. But the men
eel toro in the arena has nothing
on them when it comes to SIAM
peding. If you can't praise them
say nothing, for the poor things
can't stand criticism.

Generally speaking, walls and cell

BOLIWA-PARAGUAY
ASPECT UNCHANGED
Boundary Dispute Reverts to Old
Status-Both Assent to
Protocol.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
New Year day found the Bolivian
Paraguayan quarrel apparently back
to its old status of a long standing
boundary dispute. Both countries have
agreed to the principal provisions of a
conciliation protocol, with considera-
ton being given today to its final word
ing and the appointment of the nine
judges provided as mediation tribunal
After representatives of Bolivia and
Paraguay at the Pan-American con-
ference sign the protocol, it will be
necessary that it be ratified by the
governments of both countries before
becoming effective. Both have already
expressed approval of its main terms.
OF the nine judges who will inquire
into the border battles, Bolivia and
Paraguay would name two each. One
each would be chosen from five other
American republics, Bolivia and Para
quay having the right to agree upon
the countries to be named. AS it stands
at present, the United States and Cuba
are expected to be represented with Ar
gentina, Brazil and Uruguay likely to be
the other three. DR.. Eligio Ayala of
Paraguay and Minister DieZ de Medina
Of Bolivia are understood to have agreed
upon the countries TO be named, but the
selections have not been made public.
The mediation tribunal would be given
year to bring about conciliation or to
report on the facts and fix responsibility
for the clashes between Bolivian and
Paraguayan troops in the Gran Chaco
region.

ARREST Z AUTO|STS
FOR HAVING '28TAGS
Police Told to Watch for All
vioIators-11,0O0 Licenses
Sold Yesterday.

Twelve motorists who were found on
the streets today with 1928 automobile
tags were arrested and deposited col
lateral at the Traffic Bureau and vari-
Gus police precincts. These were the
first results of Maj. Edwin B. HeSse'S
instructions to arrest all motorists on
the streets after last midnight who
failed to exhibit 1929 tags.
A throng without rival in the recol-
lection of the older employees at the
District Building taxed the force Of the
superintendent Of licenses Office yester-
day from am. until pm, when
Supt. Wade Coombs sent the last of his
clerks home after they had worked u
half an hour overtime.
Hundreds Of laSt-ninute applicants
failed to get their tags. At 4.30 O'Clock
those who had already filed out their
applications were allowed to complete
the purchase of the tags, but no new
applications would be received. This
throng took the extra half-hour to go
through the mill"
1I.0OO Tags Sold Yesterday.
Mr. CoombS estimated that Ii 600 tags
We're sold in the scramble yesterday,
beating all previous records. The total
sold during the month of December he
estimated at $1,000. which was 10000
more than the number issued in Decem-
ber. 1928 He said he believed that
approximately 1000 motorists had failed
to obtain their tags and that he eX-
pected another big crowd when his
Office opened up for business again at
9 am. tomorrow.
Although the Office was closed today
on account Of the legal holiday. scores
OF motorists appeared at the District
Building today and begged to be al
lowed to buy tags. Since the license
office was locked. however, they all
went away empty handed.
Extension Asked.
This Is the first year in recent times
when the date for the use of tags has
not been extended 10 or Is DAYS into
the new year. Since the tags were
on sale promptly December l, the Com
missioners decided last year that no
extension would be necessary. Though
this fact was duly chronicled, many of
the motorists appearing today asked
District Building attendants If the
regular extension would not be allowed.
During the past fiscal year, 156 044
motor vehicles were registered in the
District. This Is not an index of the
number of District vehicles actually on
the streets, however as the registration
for vehicle must be changed every
time the ownership changes, which in
some cases occurs several times a year.
Mr.. Coombs' estimate is that there
are approximately $4,000 District
owned automobiles on the streets.

GERMAN PRESIDENT
SEEKS FREE NATION
Won Hindenburg Outlines
Views in New Year Ad-
dress to Diplomats.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January Germany still
is in a state of uncertainty regarding
fulfllment of her justifable expecta-
tions for peaceful progress and equal
rights, said President Won Hindenberg
at his New Year day reception to the
diplomatic corps. The President spoke
in response to good wishes voiced by
the papal nuncio as doyen of the corps.
The nuncio mentioned that Germany
had signed the Kellogg pact renounc-
ing war as an instrument of national
policy. and he expressed the hope that
1929 would bring to happy solution
the important problems upon which
the tranquility of Europe depends.
Milestone Toward Peace.
"Such a happening" he said, would
mark a milestone on the bright and fer
tile road toward general peace and
brotherly union of all men,"
"At the opening of the new year the
whole German people feel very Bit
terly that their country lacks the free
dom which we claim by divine and
human right" said the President in his
response. Germany has long hoped
for restoration of these rights.
Despite our grave disappointment
we. nevertheless, look forward to the
time when full self-determinat1on VIII
be restored to us We dare to nope
that this will take place within the
new wear. ideals of peace and under
standing. as well as the progress OF
mankind. can only be thoroughly de-
veloped by free people.
Kellogg Pact Step.
"The kellogg pact aims at solution
of problems still existing between ma
tions on basis that disregards indivi-
dual strength and follows only the prln..
ciple of justice, thus giving the world
a guarantee of lasting peace"
Chancellor Herman Mueller, ADDRESS
ing the President on behalf OF the
cabinet, pledged the government to WORK
INCREASINGLY until the Rhine, the Saar
and the Palatinate shall be liberated
from the foreign yoke"
I'VE hope that the experts who are
to study the reparations question Will
be able to settle it, thereby bringing
the nations nearer to complete liquida-
ton of the war" said the chancellor.
mo real foundations of lasting peace
can be laid until this has been brought
about"
