The Commission it after receiving Of

them to the Capital Transit Company the newly merged

The Transit Company has replied by listing the

This procedure has done little to still the grumbing Of

The more frantically we seek
Our particular answer.
We ask other questions, too,
But always-alWays-
Muttering in our brains,
Signing in our hearts,
Snarling in our blood,
That one question
Goes on and on
WHAT DO I GET OUT OF
LIFE?"
WHAT DO GET OUT OF
L1FE?"
You ask that impatiently,
Like a child
Going to a circus.
Even though you are grown
You think of life
AS a circus
Where you should have the
right
To see all the side shows;
So you enter life
AS you would a circus,
And then sit waiting
For the side-shows to begin.
Now" you say to yourself,
Il will be happy,
For I'm at the circus.
"Now I will be excited
"And contented and proud,
For 1 am part Of life
So you sit and wait
For the side-shows to begin,
And they do begin;
Many side-Shows begin.
And for a little while
You are excited and happy.
Then slowly it fizzles out;
You grow cold and still;
The show goes on,
But you grow colder
And Stiller.
Why is this?
WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING

Because, it is not reasonable
to suppose that NO woman

adamantine, irresistible, inexor-
able things in this world, there
is nothing which compares to a
WOMAN'S WILL!
Where did man ever get the
quaint notion, that he was the
Head of the House? How did
he come to think Of himself
as the sun of the domestic
heaven, around which all the
feminine satellites revolved?
Was he coddled into it, jollied
into it or "yes-deared" into it?
Or does the fact that he is
permitted to sit at the head

heavy work of carving and
serving make him feel that he

A mans will may be strong;
but, beside the average Woman'S

MalVina Hoffman waits a bit
impatiently to take the road
again. She needs six more
heads for her collection, and
she will find them among the
Indian tribes OF our own South
west. This done, she will have
completed a task begun six
years ago, task which has
taken her into strange corners
Of the earth, among the most
primitive Of men. Her genius
has won her wide acclaim in
her chosen field Of sculpture.
About six years ago Miss
Hoffman received a commission
from the Field Museum Of Nat
ural History, in Chicago, to
execute for its Hall Of Man a
group Of bronze, life-size racial
portraits. She pursued her fas-
cinating quest from Siberia to
Sumatra, from Manchuria to
Mandalay.
All Known Races
One million, four hundred
thousand persons went TO the
Field Museum last year to mar
vel at the Ife-size bronzes exc
cuted by Miss Hoffman to de-
pict the known races OF the
earth. This writer thrilled with
admiration as he strolle d
through the Hall of Man, mar
Yelling at the imagination and
understanding Of primitive and
savage racial characteristics
worked by her cunning fingers
the Afghan money-lender, the
Australian Black Fellow, the
African pigmy-90 types Sc
cured under conditions that
would have discouraged and
baffled most sculptors, men or
women.
All over the world she ranged
on her fascinating quest. She
modelled a pigmy in the heart
of Africa when the temperature
read a hundred and twenty.
With freezing fingers and freez-
ing clay she did the head OF a
Mongol chieftain in North Asia.
She modelled one winter in
China when the mercury held
to 26 below zero.
With her in all these adven-
lures was her husband, Samuel
Crimson - musician, scientist,
inventor and British soldier.
Professionally the name Of
this tall, silvery-haired, charm
ing, aristocratic lady of the
gifted fingers is Malvina Hoff-
man, but she is Mrs. Samuel
Crimson and travels as such in
private life.
The most exciting experience
that came to her was while she
was working on the model of
the head Of a pigmy chief.
Things were going smoothly
when, all of a sunden, the
grizzled dwarf quit his pose and
whizzed a knife at Miss Hoff-
mans foot. Startled, she glanced
from him to the knife, and
found the weapon had pinned
to the ground a venomous snake
which had been about to strike
at her ankle when the plgmy
discovered it.
Among the most interesting
people she came upon. were
the natives of small islands off
Japan. The Grimsons were the
only white folk who had visited
these natives in many years.
They were a forlorn race,
doomed to extinction at an
early date. Their islands are
shaken by earthquakes every
two weeks or so, as a dog shakes
a rat, and they live in paper
houses, preferring the cold and
pneumonia to death by a fall
ing wall or a collapsing roof.
Curious and most impressive,
how science is continually sup
porting the truth of the Bible,
notably the very ancient and
remote stories and traditions
that have come down to us in
the pages of the Old Testa-
ment. There is, actually, no
conflict between science and

fancies that an argument has
been buried, she'll run out and
dig it up like a pet bone-and
use it as a weapon to get her
way.
Men have bought cars and
country houses that they didn't
want and couldn't pay for,

and hated and married women

MIND that they should do

WILL is set on anything, moth
ing on earth can deflect, break

And the sweeter, gentler and
more domesticated the woman,
the stronger her will and the
more persistent her determina-

A woman who has been out

that she must make concessions

that she has given in and "Seen

With a woman, question is
NEVER settled until it's settled
HER way!
A man is a good forgotten.
He has neither the memory,

ence to hold out against a

states his side of the case or
lays down the law-and then
