proving that the climate anywhere is
superior at any time to the climate
of New York-except, perhaps, for a
few brief weeks in May. New York
is not only the most frenzied of the
baseball towns but it is rapidly con-
tracing a racehorse mania. -. The
bOOkies are doing business now that
never before has been approached and
one firm is said to do a $4,000, 900
yearly business. The technique in
this case is interesting. ID. The head
quarters of the bookies are located
across the river in Jersey but calls
from players in New York are auto
matically transferred to the firm.
Thus, if betting is illegal through
Manhattan bookies, it can be claimed
that the transactions take place in
Jersey. e. If Jersey grows interested,
it can be asserted that the betting
takes place in Manhattan 49,. Neat,

Modern Women Accused
OF Nervous Instability

groups than he can afford on the :
grounds that it makes contacts,
and then run himself to a FRAGILE
trying to get a speaker-any
speaker to speak about anything,
just so as to have another speech
at the club luncheons.
No, the men never do anything
Illogical or wracking in this
new modern culture of ours.
OVERRIDING in athletics is another
cause for criticism of the modern
woman. 1.-THE nervous strain of
competitive sport is probably
greater for women than for men.
The indulgence in competitive
sports seems to have little effect
on the posture of women. Few Of
the picked British female athletes
had really good chest expansion
and many were anemic." The mod
ern cult which permits violent eX-
ercise during menstruation has no
sound foundation.
It is even said that marriage,
which should make for nervous and
mental stability, is likely, under
modern conditions, when the wife
insists on living an independent
life, to bring it's own problems. The
new responsibility of domestic
management, the problems and
conflicts of companionate life, the
spiritual complications of sex life,
and the hazard of reproduction, all
affect a woman's health and nerv-
GUS system more profoundly than
the mans.
So say the pundits, the guardians
of our health, but | don't know.
There have always been these Jere-
miahs wailing about anything new.
There always seems to have been
something causing nervous insta-
bility. In the meantime, the pOpu-
lation has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, so the woman must
have been doing her part.
Personally, | like the new wom-
an. l don't find her so nervous or
unstable. She seems to me to be
looking on the world with calm and
confident eyes. If above those eyes,
the eyebrows are plucked. it's O. k.

SINCE THE very beginning
Genesis 81, there has been ten
dency to blame everything on the
woman. She just can't seem to do
things in a sensible and healthy
way, according to her critics. It
used to be corsets: she laced too
tight, that's what made her UNI
healthy. Then she took 'em off, or
so far as I know, she did, and that
didn't please any better because.

High heels, and long skirts that
swept the dust, and too much un-
derwear, and starvation diets,

cism. Well, here's the latest. The
modern girl demands to be treat
ed as an equal, expects to be treat
ed like duchess, and she behaves
like a washer woman"

Finds No Evidence of Grim. inaI Negligence in John
 COsta's Death

4 finding by Deputy Coroner Walter w smyth lists as accidental the death of John Costa, of River street, who was fatally injured on Baldwin street, near Pleasant street, February IS. The finding absolves James II. Thompson, of 45 Center street, and Walter Bailey, of 150 West Main street, operators of the vehicles which struck Costa,
 Costa was struck by Thompson's car and thrown under the rear wheel of Q Connecticut Company bus operated by Bailey. The deputy coroner says that Costa left the sidewalk hurriedly and ran directly into the path of Thonpson's car.
 The bus stopped quickly but Costa had been crushed and died almost instantly. He sustained Q fractured pelvis, crushed thigh, broken leg and other injuries. Both vehicles,
