Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A RE not compliments and fattery womans
NATURAL birthright?" inquiries famous stage
favorite, who is charming, beautiful and univer-
sally admired.
The answer is mo-" Womans natural heritage in
nearly every age has been oppression, hard work
and blows.
The idea somewhat too prevalent in certain
circles, that always have had the breaks
is family ludicrous in the face of historical fact
Because in every era a few famous courtesans
lived well, not on hattery but because they
learned the very fine art OF fattery men, there
has been set up the false opinion that compile
ments and adulation are the food upon which all
women subsist
On the contrary, the majority of u.s. in every
age, in every land, have had hard lives, few rights
and little justice. In this respect we make the
mistake of overlooking the many to gaze upon the
fortunate few
1t is if we pointed to John d. Rockefeller
and exclaiced about the vast wealth of every
American.
CPEAKING purely from personal point of view,
~ see no reason why any woman should want
only adulation and lattery, since we al know that
the former is of brief duration and the latter threg-
fourths lies.
Nor do admit that women need that sort of
thing any more than men. All of us are susceptible
to praise and approval and it's too bad worthy
members of society are given so little of either.
Being born of woman, let US remember, may
have been an advantage in certain social circles,
and at certain short periods Ct time as for instance
when Victoria reigned in safe and solid England
and at the food of American Vol Street prosperity
But when Attila roamed over Europe and Solo,
mon was building his temple and ST. Paul preached
to the mutitudes, it was not particularly desirable

THE FARM PANACEA

The latest farm relief panacea is one of those
things the country can not re expected to swallow
with enthusiasm, but may be persuaded to take as
the lesser of evils. It is called the domestic allot-
ment plan, and fits the general lines laid down by
President-Eect Roosevelt during the campaign.
Its vice is that it amounts to a subsidy to the
farmers paid by the consumer, left-handed sales
tax food It's virtue-if it works. which will
remain open question until it is tried-is that it
viii tend to lift the farmer out of his twelve-year
depression and thus help the rest of the country,
which is dependent upon the farmer
' To describe the complicated and lengthy plan is
not leasy. It's authors continually are making
changes in it, and have admitted to the house COM
mittee that of the details yet to be worked
out
~, But, in general, the government would collect
from the professor of farm products-miIer, packer
spinner, and such-a tax which would be paid back
as bounty to farmers having reduced their pro-
'duction 20 per cent.
Under the original bill the bounty, which would
be paid only on the domestic portion Of the CROP
would be figured the basis of the American
tariff, subsidy on wheat of AZ cents bushel on
cotton cents pound, cents on tobacco and 2
cents pound on hogs
az But under the latest form of the PLAN instead
of the exact tariff figures higher parity" price,
representing the differential in the farmers pre-
war and present purchasing power, would fix the
sliding subsidy.
~ One important improvements least in theory
--of this plan over its predecessors the equaliza-
ton fee and debenture bills, is that they would
have increased the surplus, while this would benefit
only farmers cutting production.
The other distinction Of the new plan is that it
is approved by the hitherto disagreeing farm or
CARNATIONS as we'll as by certain powerful Chamber
of Commerce and insurance interests who helped
draft it.
AS we have said of the earlier farm panaceas,
this one also approaches the problem from the
wrong end. It's aim is to euualize the purchasing
power of the farmer with that OF heavily protected
industry.
1t seeks to achieve this laudable and necessary
end by the subsidy method, instead Of the direct
method of lowering the industrial tariff.
We shall continue to support tariff reduction,
which seems to us the only effective method but
SO long as industry gets its high tariff subsidy we
do not see how the country fairly can oppose the
farmers bid for a compensation subsidy Of some
kind.
One thing is certain. The United states is not
going to get far out Of this depression until it nds
some way TO lift the millions of submerged farmers.

Gets Thrill of Life

world of great affairs; every SO

The thing is painted il attrac-

read between the lines, mistakes
the happy ending for truth, and

Lettie Manning, blue-eyed, Irish

She GOT it at a branch bank in
the Bronx Thursday morning,

entered the vault, grabbed $4,000
in cash, left every one dissolved
in tears by exploding gas bomb,
and made a clean getaway quicker

VXTHEN a child's neck appears
wv to be twisted so that the
head leans or is tilted toward one
shoulder or the other, 1t is said
to have wry neck or twisted
neck.
There are various causes for
this condition. Sometimes an ac-
cident at birth may be responsible.
This apparently is due to the fact
that the muscles on one side have
contracted.
The expert who takes care of
the patient can relieve this con-
traction in various ways. Some
times an infection will get into
the muscles of the neck, and, by
producing pain, tenderness and
swelling, cause pulling of the head
to one side or the other.
Again a twisted neck may be
due to a tuberculous infection Of
the bones Of the spine in the neck
region.

About the EcZipse

THE suns apparent path among
n the stars is known as the
ecliptic. Actually, Of course. the
earth is moving around the sun.
But the earth's motion results in
an apparent motion of the sun
with reference to the background
of stars.
The ancient astronomers plotted
the path Of the sun, or the eclip-
tic. The consultations through
which it passes form the we'll
known signs Of the zodiac.
When it is remembered that the
stars never are visible when the
sun is above the horizon, except
Tor the few seconds that con-
stltute a total eclipse of the sun.
1t is greatly to the credit Of these
ancient astronomers that thew
were able to work out the ecliptic.
1t was done, of course. by not
ing the star positions Just before
sunrise or just after sunset and
drawing the necessary deductions.
II the earth's equator is pro-
Jected against the imaginary
dome of the sky, it forms what
astronomers call the celestial
equator. The eclipstic and the
celestial equator intersect at two
points.
THESE are known, respectively,
as the vernal equinox and the au-
tumnal equinox. They mark the
first day of spring and the first
day Of fall. Day and night are
OF equal length when the sun is at
these intersections.
Midway between the equinoxes
are two imaginary points known
as the winter and summer SOL
sites. The summer Solstice marks
the first day Of summer.
When the sun reaches it, the
day is approximately the longest
in the year. Sometimes the day
before or after may be just as
long or in some cases even min
ute longer)
Winter begins when the sun
reaches the winter solstice. The
day on which that event takes
place is approximately the short
est day of the year.

and tear-gas bombs, they would
have found plenty of chance to
play their respective roles today.

the end. They are going to live
with this adventure from now on,
not in an agreeable, reminiscent
way, but as an ever-present
source of fear and regret.
They stand about one chance
in ten of ever being able to rid
themselves of its psychological
effect. Nor is that psychological
effect wholly matter of con-
science.
Each Of them knows that the
others know, and none of them
is sure that some one of the
others won't blab, or squeal.
From now on, life will be
ceaseless flight, a sleepless watch,
an unrelieved struggle to beat
the game.
