SailOrettes and ScrubwOmen
One Of the loveliest qualities
Of man is his ability to attend
to his own business.
One Of the greatest weak
neSSeS Of woman is her inability
to keep her hand out Of other
peoples business.
The latest revelation Of this is
a flood Of letters from ambitious
damSelS to an Eastern newSpa-
per demanding a woman navy,
made up of feminine gunners
and deck-Swabbers, coal beavers
and gobs.
Suffering SailoretteS! Did you
ever hear Of men writing to q
newspaper demanding the right
to be scrubwomen? Or house
maids? Or telephone operators?
Or models for women'S wear?
g OF course notl A man is will
ing to stick to his own role and
his own job, in like-and he
doesn't envy woman HERS.
He'd rather heave coal or roll
logs or carry hodS or sweep
streets, than polish finger nails
or crochet booties.
TITS SNn NadrHNk $NRs IN iVN.
SiSt that she is mans equal.
Woman has always been mans
equal in some things, and his su-
/ perior In many things-particu-
larly the finer things, such as
fidelity, grace, and mora cour-
age in a crisis.
But, why try to be his COUN-
TERPART?
Why should a bird of Para
disc want to resemble an eagle?
Why should q nightingale
long to be a hawk? Why should
a robin envy rooster-or o doe
yearn to join the army and be 3
mule?
Why should a COW, lying pla-
cidly in a field of clover, have Q
yen to go out and be q drays
horse? !.

An Unfortunate Table Accident
Drinking BouiIlon
DEAR MISS BEECKMAN::

OEkAfL M4OO 0GGNhNANs
Is 1t proper, when drinking
soup from a bouillon cup, to
pick the cup UP in ones hand?
2. When the cup has but
one handle, what is proper?
3. What does one do when
a spoon is served with O
bouillon cup? ROSE.
Yes. When we drink bouil-
lon, we sip the first few
mouthfuls to test the heat of
the liquid, and then, If We
wish, we drink the rest Of
the bouillon as we would
drink tea.
2. Since we would use only
one handle when we lift the
cup, it really does not make
any difference if the cup has
only one handle. OF course,
If it has only one handle, it
is tea cup, not a bouillon cup.
The extra handle, which makes
a tea cup a bouillon cup, is
the tea cup putting on "side."
3. We use the spoon, cor
rectly the small bouillon spoon
especially designed for use with
the bouillon cup, to take the
first few sips.

The Spirit of Giving
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Does an announcement card
require cending a gift? When /
was married sent a friend an
invitation to the church only
and she sent me very lovely
gift. Now I think, even though
she had only q home wedding
and I was not invited, ! should
still remember her as cordially
as she did me. My husband
thinks it is not necessary.
PERPLEXED.
Although this announcement
card does not make it necessary
that you send a gift, the fact
that you do want to send q
gift makes me wish that you
would send it. 1t isn't the card
that suggests a gift, but the
wish-to-give. And especially
since your friend was so gener-
GUS in her remembrance Of you.
An Unfortunate Table Accident
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you kindly tell me the
correct manner, when eating
fish, Of removing bones from
the mouth? Should they be
removed from the mouth with
a fork or with the fingers?
MRS. B.
When we have the bad for
tune to get. a fish bone in our
mouth, we should remove it in
our fingers, the thumb and first
finger, or the thumb and second
finger. It should be as unob-
trusive a process as possible
and we should not drape the
process with our napkin!

Justice William HitZ today
granted the motion of Mr..
Henry's counsel, Harry s. Barger;
for a Seperate trial for his client,
which was filed late last week.
Only Negligent
In his motion for severance
Mr.. Henry asserted that the
worst crime of which he was
guilty was that Of negligence
and that his rights would be
prejudiced if he had to defend
these negligent acts in a GRIM
inal prosecution.
The fact that no opposition
was offered by government coun--
sci to the motion for a separate
trial gives credence to reports Of
a split between Mr.. Henry and
G. Bryan Pitts, former chairman, !,
Of the board of the Smith Co..
who is also under Indictment;
and gives rise to new rumors that
Mr.. Henry may be used as a
government witness in the trial
of the other three which is set,
for November "a. So

No date was set for Mr.. Hen
ry's trial, and if he is used as
a government witness against the

to the government the indictment
against him may be dismissed, -
Mr.. Pitts, C. Ebert Anadale,
former vice-president, and John

Mingled establishment and indig-
nation were expressed in official
circles were today over the sensa.
tional charges made in a Soviet
Russian indictment Of an inter
national conspiracy to wreck the
Soviet regime.
The charges that high French
officials had conspired With Rus
sian malcontentS to undermine
Soviet business and industry and
then embark upon an anti-Soviet
war specifically named Raymond
Poincare, Frances wartime
president sand former premier,
and Aristide BRAND, now minister
Of foreign affairs.
Official spokesmen took the
attitude that the allegations were
not worthy of a denial, but M.
Poincare was quoted as saying
the charges were "pure inven-
ton" He added that to the
best Of his knowledge there never
had been talk of armed inter
vention in Russia.
Little Publicity
Only a few Paris newspapers
printed news of the indictment
and none commented editorially.
French officials considered denials
virtually useless because Of
Frances strict policy Of aloof-

Of Soviet Russia.

DRY Or SPLIT, "
FESS ED|CT

Predictions of Republican split
over prohibition in 1882 seemed
well on the way to fulfillment
today as prominent vets and
drys in the party hammered
away at each other in lusty
fashion.
The immediate target of the
vets is Senator Simeon D. Fess,
the bone-dry chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, and
the frequent champion of the
Anti-Saloon League on the Sen
ate floor. There is a well-defined
movement afoot to replace FeSs
as chairman, not so much ON &C
count of the reyerseS the party
suffered last week under his di'
rection. but because he has laid
down the ultimatum that the
Republicans must stay dry. He
said:
Accepts Challenge
'"The Republican Party will
stay dry or it will split"
This challenge has promptly
been accepted by leading vets in
the party, who have been greatly
heartened by the anti-prohibitlOn
wave that swept last Tuesdays s
elections.
They are demanding to know
whether the Republicans OF New
York, Illinois, New Jersey and
other influential states are to be
ignored in the 1882 convention.
Ex-senator James w. Wads-
worth explains:
The trouble with Senator
FeSs, is that he cannot see
what Is going ON in this cOun-
try. Tears dim his sight. We
want our party to be right
upon the only fundamental
constitutional issue that has
arisen since the days of the
Civil War, and we will fight
to make it right, split or no
split"
House Approves
To which was added this com.
ment from Representative Fred
Britten (R0 Of Illinois, one Of
the wet leaders in the House:
"Tf Senator Fess is SO blind
or SO intOlerant that he can
not anaIyZe the desires of mil
lions Of voters in the prOgres-
sive Northern States, the ma
tiOnaI committee should elect
another chairman before the
arid Senator further depresses

Undismayed by the furry caused

charges. the Soviet government
will proceed Immediately with the
trial Of eight prominent Rus
slams charged with participation
in an alleged international con

PoincaEe and BRAND of France
Sir Henri Deterding, multi-mil
Eonaire British oil magnate, anc
Col. T. E. Lawrence, the famous
Lawrence of the Arabs"
In accordance With a long
standing Soviet policy, the tria
will be public, in order that al
Russia may know how many sus
pected of counter-revolutionary
attempts against the government
are dealt with.
Official and Semi-official news
papers throughout Russia pub

devoting 80 solid columns of thei
space to do so. The charge:

that the attorney generals office

According to an announcement
made at the time of the publica

accused men, have confessed. Th'

the men would be shown as spie
