The sentiment which leads to such
a choice is natural. and. fortunately.
in most cases, the lady had been so-
tivs enough in her husband's career
to indicate her competency. But it
is an old-fashioned. not a "modern"
sentiment.
Whoever else may approve it. the
women‘s party and other feminist
organizations should protest. The
sentiment. by their standards. be-
longs to the masculine and feudal
type.
It represents. not women's right
to stand on their own merits. but
women‘s title to the protective chiv-
alry of the “stronger" sex.
It is a man's notion of what he
wants women to want. It belongs to
tile pre-suflrage age. These women
represent. not themselves or their
constituents.‘ but their husband's
memories.
it. is fortunate that they have usu-
ally done vvell. But this is not fem-
inism.

Democrats have doped out a pro-

1publicans a heap of trouble at thel
next session of Congress The Repub—
licans have doped out a counter-pro-
gram to ward this trouble off.
The Democratic scheme is to mail
an awful racket about taliff reduc-
tion. The Republican scheme is to;
make so much more racket about taxi
reduction that the tariff leductlon:

the Democrats think they can get a

"The. tariff." the farmers told
Congress last year. “makes what we

stand it. Either it's got to be reduc-
cd or we've got to get some of its

The Republican offering will be
tax reduction. Every time a Demo-
crat urges tariff reduction 4 Re-
publican will remind the nation that
his party is in the very act of reduc-
ing taxes.
The Republicans meant to reduce
them anyway and they'll make the
most of doing it.
And in the 1926 campaign even
time a Democrat pleads for a chance
to lower living costs by tariff reduc-
tion. a Republican will answer.
“That's talk. We acted. We cut tax-
es down."

Man is only beginning to learn
how important a part. the weather
plays in his welfare.
It is not only storms and the ex-
tremes of heat and cold that affect
him but the everyday variations of
weather.
The pioneers on the frontier of
science are making a careful study
of this fact in the belief that the
knowledge will eventually prcve of
immense value to man. Ii
A committee of the National Re-
search Councll. called the Committee
on the Atmosphere and Man. is con-
ducting the study.
Statistics Just completed by the
committee on the infiuenu epidemic
of 1918 show how important this
study is.
The committee made averages for
the as largest cities in the United
States for which temperature ree-
ords and infiuonsa death records
were available for the first 10 weeks
of the epidemic.
These show that the mortality was
highest in the hottest cities and low.

death rates was to per cent.

average temperature of 70 degrees
and an average death-rate from flu

NEW IORK. Aug. 3.--Thia city
has been’ called a. melting pot. but
the pot is always boiling over. The
stream of humanity that. pours in
here from foreign shores. from oth-,
er American cities and from the
natural increase of population is of
a volume too great to be held in the
present city.
And so as the brim runs over and
families flow into the surrounding
territory new communities spring
up almost over night. This natural
spreading of the population creates .‘
many new fortunes.
I know a man in Brooklyn We
ran a news stand near s. subway sta-
tion four years ago. He handled
chewing gum and candy bars as a
side line. The community grew rap-
idly and be rented a store in which
he could carry a line” of cigars and
toys. He established a circulating
library. His wife and children
helped. but even so he had a hire a
clerk. He recently s in the store‘st
a profit of 825.000. e invested the
proceeds in starting similar stores in
tree populated sections which are
beginning to grow. ‘

Modern real estate dealers devel-

ed. However. husband and wife are
not without the little spats and tiffs
which mark the usual routine of
family life.
Last week they had some differ-
ence of opinion and waged warm in
their words. The comedian sudden-
ly realized that he had barely time
enough to catch the train to New
York and get to the theatre in time
for a matinee. so he rushed from
the house in the midst of a quarrel.
' On reaching New York he tele-
phoned his house snd his little son
answered. The comedian told him
to call his mother to the phone.
After a. moment the boy announced
that his mother was in the bath-
room and that she said she couldn't
and wouldn't come to the phone.
"All right. sonney. deliver this
mesage to your mother." answered
the comedian. "Be sure to get it
right. Tell her 1 don't know why in
hell I love her. but I do."
