THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies by ANNA CADOGAN ETZ Are Women Honest ? THe OTHER day an enterprising man dropped an acid test for honesty into the mail boxes of a hundred persons of divers sorts and kinds. Of course it takes more than one songster to make a happy summer-time and a grand formula can’t be established for the Earth’s inhabitants by trying out twenty groups of five individuals. But taking the test for what it indicates, rather t for what it proves, the results. were ng to an extreme degree, espec- ially to the suffragists. If the test showed anything, it was that leaving the home works no moral injury to women, for the only group whose honesty shone like spun gold was the group. of successful business women, while the shel- tered wives of prosperous men proved no more reliable than the group of plumbers. Asa whole, women were shown to be more honest than men, and no group of women sank as low as the bunch of policemen. All around one hears the clamor for business efficiency in government. Business efficiency tests on credit and here we find women measuring up to the test better than men. For the group of successful business men only achieved the average degree of honesty shown by the entire list. Ponder well these facts:—At the top the successful business women; at the bottom the men employed to protect the property of the community by a government from which women are rigidly excluded as incom- petent. One is almost led to suspect that the gentleman was lured on to his adven- ture by the astute managers of the woman- suffrage propaganda. The Poet and the Biologist Disagree TM POET hath said “The female of he species is more deadly than the but the biologist telleth another ony The biologist is nothing if not thorough, so he is not content with proving that the little girl is less ferocious than a little boy; that she never plays Indian or sleeps with a tomahawk under her pillow. He goes clear back to the germ cells and shows that the female germ is calm and placid in marked contrast to the male germ, which is a rest- less secker after adventure. And when in the animal world the female does scem more hostile, the biologist shows that her war- like pose is merely an incident to her con- structive work—the protection of her off- ing So it is that if the suffragists talk learn- edly about woman suffrage being impera- tive because woman can be counted on to counteract the destructive tendencies of a male civilization because she is by nature Constructive, it is a theory that they did GREAT DEAR SPRING WATER <1ts purity has made It fa * Se the case of six glass stoppered bottles.
