HASKELL The Anti’s Buggy-Boo WT DUNNO as I'd be so turribly agin Il Votes fur Wimmen if ‘twant hitched on to femynism,” says Mrs. Deacon Spikes to me as we was satin’ fur our change to Gewt’s Gineral Store, “but when it comes to busting the home, smashing matrimony, pitching away Christian morals, pushin men to the background and _histing fe- mks to all the high and giddy places, I'm free to say I git heart disease just thinkin’ of it “I see you got a diffrunt dictionary fom mine,” I says. “Likely yours was isued by the Anti-Publishing Company of Lieabout Lane. Mine wa’n’t and I ain't got no sich a definition of femynism. Mine says ‘tis jist ‘a worldwide revolt agin all laws and customs that interpose between wimmen and human freedom’ aad 'tis based on the theory ‘that woman was made to be the ekall, co-worker and comrade of man, not his slave, servant or plaything.’ This ain’t quite so terryfy: ing as yourn in sound anyways, and don’t you worry that it means what the Nightmare Nellies of the opposition says. Iknow some folks believes that if man a't allus g down the law and roman obeyin’ meck and sappy all sassety will go up the spout. We got to remember oncet folks tho’t if the kings’ nobles wasn’t allus ordering the common man round ‘thout never giving him nothin’ to say, we'd have to hang cape out fur our noble institootions. That definition of femynism I just g: you is what one of our great suffridge kaders believes ‘tis, but I ain't denying thy is some wild scribes ahangin’ on with both feet to the woman movement and lettin’ their imaginations rush round lke cats with fits. Every Cause has had folks that didn’t put brakes on_ their- sives but run down all the steep hills lckety split. Thanks be to goodness thse extreme critters is few and far tetween, tho’ alas! their lungs is often first-class yellers. But they oughtn’t to eer the hull business. Why, Religion’s ad its Hell-Firers who shouted louder than the God-Is-Lovers, but the latter ®s the true Christians. And I notice Miss Spikes that when your Publishing Company wants to quote a few lurid ees on femynism, it avoids most careful athe remarks of the big wimmen leaders tad goes in strong for the lunicisms of lunies, “And I don’t blame the Antis none.

It means to develop Ma fur the Bed of the Race, to make her free, Stong and able to use her brains fur Seer things than running ribbons gh longeric. It means that the Engineering the Telephone HE great Bell System, with its telephone highways connecting the farthest points of the country, is primarily a brain creation. The telephone engineer is the genius of communication. Like the general of an army, he plans, projects and directs his campaigns far ahead. He deals with the seemingly impos- sible—transforming ideas and ideals into concrete facts. His problems may involve doubling the capacity of a city’s underground telephone system, or the building of a transcontinental line, or a serious war- shortage of supplies needed in tele- phone work. Whatever the difficulties, they must be overcome so that the progress of the telephone shall continue equal to the ever-growing needs of the people. It is not enough to provide only for the present—the future must be antici- pated and discounted. In the Bell System, more than two thousand highly efficient engineers and scientists are constantly working on the complex problems of the tele- phone business. As a result, the service keeps step with present requirements and the assurance is given to every subscriber that the Bell System is prepared for whatever the future develops.
