implied from this that the French
woman Is an uninteresting home body,
who can talk only Of recipes. On the
contrary. she is proverbially intelli-
gent and takes an active interest in
intellectual and public affairs. In
fact. no nation can boast Of more IA
nous women than France.
The French woman is an essential
force in the life Of her country, not by
her direct action In public affairs, bus
by her powers Of subtle persuasion and
self-effacement. She Is faithful to her
role as woman and mother. In a world
torn by dissentions and frenzy, she Is
great conservative force-a force Uf
equilibrium and peace.
We cannot but feel the contrast be-
tween the French woman and the
restless American woman, immersed
In clubs, politics, save-the-world So
cieties. etc. etc. We American women
are not content to shine anonymously
through our husbands success. We
want our own share Of the honors
For US the problem career VS.. mar
riage" is not merely a theme for a
novel, It Is all too real. For it is only
q very few Of us who can be content
with q life centering about the home.
Because Of our egocentricity and lack
Of psychological fair we are far less
adept than French women in making
q success Of marriage. "Incompati-
bility." the intelligent French woman
knows, Is often an unnecessary word,
which can be replaced by "compro-
mise" But we want the conscious
obeisance of men. We are not humble
enough to keep to ourselves what
every woman knows"
THE contrast between the French
and American woman gives us a
key to other contrasts between France
and America. It is in their way of
thinking and in their way Of living
that the French and Americans differ
most profoundly. The Frenchman is
Justly renowned for the lucidity of his
thought. which finds expression in a
language infinitely suited to it. He

much as others exercise the muscles Of
their body-for the mere Joy Of 1t. He
Is an Independent thinker. reaching
his conclusions by his own methods,
and taking his ideas very seriously.
And, being a thinker, he is the most
skeptical Of human beings. He takes
nothing for granted.
Compare French lucidity with our
own sinuous thinking, which skips
over premises and jumps to conclu-
sions, because it is too much work to
think things out. And. as we are too
lazy to think, it Is natural that we
should not be skeptics. For skepticism
requires mental alertness. 1t follows
then that we are one of the most gull
ible of peoples. We can be made to
believe anything if it is presented to
US in a pleasant, easily-digested form.
1t remains for history to determine
whether the American, thinking with

repeating. He says:
In 1779 I was sent to Georgetown,
8 miles from Bladensburg. to school
a classical academy kept by Mr.. Rog-
ers. I was placed at boarding with
the family Of Mr.. Schooff1eld, q
Quaker. They occupied a small house
Of hewn logs at the eastern end of
Bridge street. Friend Schoolfeld was
a well-set, square-built. honest-faced
and honest-hearted Quaker-his wife
one of the best Of creation.

"On our way home from the school
house to Blandensburg the road passed
by an old field. on the outer margin
Of which q Negro man had been
buried who, 1t was reported, had been
whipped to death by his master. Be-
sides the boys who went to this school
from Bladensburg there were several
from the neighborhood, and, amongst
others, one whom remember only as
Zack Calvert. This boy had one eve
ming been detained at school after all

to pass the old field after daylight was

he could hear voice answering from

TN DESCRIBING some Of the mer-
chants Of Bladensburg, as he saw
them in early youth, Mr.. Writ refers
to Christopher Lowndes as being tall
and spare and as an "old gentleman
in blue broadcloth and plush and
cooked hat" and remarkable for his
politeness and suavity. He calls Mr..
Robert Dick silent, Thoughtful man,
and speaks Of his home as a beautiful
mansion and as being a long, white
house with wings, located on the sum-
NIT Of Eastern Ridge, overlooking the
town.
Mr.. Sidebotham he describes as q
stirring, busy, successful merchant,
rosy from good living, who. in the old
fashion Of Maryland, had his bowl OF
toddy every day-a thorough John
Bull, proud, rough, absolute and kind.
He also pays his respects to Mr.. Hen

and Bruce and Mr.. Ponsonby, particu-
larly for his beautiful bay horse. bright
silver spurs, stirrups, bride, bit and

A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Gentlemen of the Congress, take the fear of hos
tile political management out of the heart of Amer
lean capital.
Take the strait jackets from off the body Of
American indvidualism.
Take the burden of oppressive and destructive
taxation from the pocketbooks of American indus
trialists.
Take the specter of political competition from
the mind of private American capital.
Take the restraining regimcns of theoristic re-
forms from the future of American business.
Take out of sane and orderly adm ,nistrat,on
of our national affairs the poison of an epidemic
of experimentation.
Let the individual opportunities, individual re-
sourcefulnesS, individual rights and individual ca
pacity of our simple and sovereign democracies be
restored and allow American business and industry
and capital to take up the burden of working out
sane, fair and profitable economic order indepen-
dent, so long as they remain within the law and
operate to the greatest good of the greatest num-
ber of political prescriptions, penalties and punish
ments.
Is not this, gentlemen Of the Congress, an invit-
ing route to take away from the present cross
roads that have been reached in order to avoid and
avert the disaster which would seem to lie along
any and every other suggested thoroughfare that
leads to an intelligent and moral prosperity

TURN EN- LoosE-GUILTY OR NOT,

In Philadelphia last week ring of thirteen auto
mobile thieves were brought into court and ad-
judged guilty by their own plea. The federal judge
passed sentence-"three years on probation"
1t was not enough that one or two of the ring
would be allowed to go free. No, the entire band
was turned loose upon society to continue. their
law-breallng. They will probably profit from their
experience of getting caught this time and it will
involve far greater expense to round up the en-
tire gang again.
1t is no wonder that there is so much law viola
ton being practced upon society today, with such
laxity in court judgment. And as long as such
laxity continues, law violation will multiply it
has been doing in the past years.
"Go and sin no more" was the gist of the court
sentence for these thirteen who admitted their
guilt of stealing cars and peddling them off here
in Charlotte But the average citizen interprets
that sentence differently-as the criminal himself
nterprets it-"Go and get caught no more."-The
Meckenburg Times. fHstE
