Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ME reader who protests recent statement in +bis
column that women never influence men en-
masse, toward good has the universal fair for sent
mentalism.
He cites Frances E Willard whom he claims has
made America dry He cites Queen Isabelle whose
Jewels helped to find world He cites the great
moral SuaSlon OF the feminine over the masculine

eraly oeneve IN this strange occult power The idea
natters the latter and gives to the former that pleas
ant sensation OF naughtineSs that they so enjoy
ana IL is true that Frances Willard built Up vast
organization and that by persistent naggine and
Ratchet nging the men were persuaded to pass some
dry laws However, in the mass they all drink as
much as they ever did And probably if the saloon
keepers had not permitted their greed to run
with their good sense, we still would be wet nation
isabella, too, after big money I fear She
had no altruistic motives, nor dreamed of being a
heroine to posterity.
Men always will permit us to run them in the
affairs to which they are largely Indifferent To be
let alone, they submit to demands. But when
it comes to radical change in opinion or behavior
our power ceases, abruptly.
Yet women have been trained in a false belief
tnat they can reform men. Herein lies about two
thirds OF our grief, both in public and private life
HOW effective have ever been in influencing the
men against war? Has any mothers tears stopped a
bunch Of so-called statesmen from sounding the
toeSln? Have We improved the standards of politics
by cur benign influence? Have We raised the legis-
latVe tone? Have We ennobled the pulpit, or ele-
waited the press? Have we made Utopia in the
business world?
We do, it is true, change the manners of men.

1t is Mr.. Walkers opinion. ap-
parently, that nothing less than a
clew from God himself will reveal
the whereabouts of these men.
Well, considering the number of
our recently unsolved crimes. he
may be right. It is strange, how
ever, that for the most part we
have failed to apprehend only those
people who have been involved in
crimes OF political significance.
Or, as in some instances. where
persons Of prominence or wealth
have been under suspicion.
Invariably it is the man who
Kills as the result of momentarv
passion or steals because he is hun
cry who gets caught. But those
who make crime their business have
little to fear.
Almost it would seem as if we
can condone anything that is done
on large scale. 1t is the small frv
Tor whom we have nothing but con-
tempt.

Rates and Rivals

XXTHAT are the railroads going
w to do about the $4,000 men
they have laid off? BY the same
token, what is the I. c. C. going
to do about the railroads request
for raise in rates?
If the railroads get that "aise,
can they put the men back to work
and keep them there? Or, to put
it another way, if they can not
compete successfully with trucks
and pipelines under existing rates,
how can they hope to do better
with higher rates?
1t all goes back to the problem
OF how we should divide our
strength between efforts to reha-
bilitate old industries and efforts
to develop new ones.

$1,000 for a Fish

MEANWHILE, people are doing
4V1 some very interesting things in
spite Of the depression. A gold fish
just has been sold in New York for
$4,000, the fourth and last treasure

been thrown open to the public, and
it has been discovered-by rumor,
at least-that Lindbergh is mapping
new air route.

flying has become an everyday af-

cuts between continents over the
frozen north.

it is going to help much, but 1t will.

Recall the America?

IDIXON chooses 1910 as the start
- ing point OF his record because
an attempt to fly the ocean was
made in that year.
The attempt, however, ended in
failure. Perhaps few readers will
recall that attempt Of 1910. Let us
quote from DiXon'S narrative:
"On Oct. Is. 1910, a small airship,
driven by two engines, nosed out
seward from Atlantic City, on the
eastern coast of America, in favor

crowd, conscious of the privilege Of

continues:
AT last the mystery was I'M

ocean drama. In rising seas the
floating equilibrator had prevented
effective steering of the America

transmitted through it, so the flight
was abandoned.
Slowly the airship nosed down
to the ocean and the six adven-

TIVE Graf Zeppelin undertakes a

So rapidly is aeronautical history

The rapidity with which air his
