#" Should the sailor get his $5,000,
e company would think seriously
bout buying up mosquito wire.
. And this leads to meditation on
he theory of reincarnation,
Suppose Armour, Rockefeller,

nd Dan Guggenheim should suddenly
through miraculous revelation
hat in their next earthly incarna

@Mebies on the banks of the Nile—
ere babies are neglected and flies
Wwarming on their pcor, diseased
Byes often blind them.
& Can’t you imagne Armour, Guggen
heim et al. crying with a loud voice,
“What, I am to be an Egyptian baby
xposed to Bgyptian flies? Well,
efore that happens, 1 will spend a
ttle of this money wiping out flies
Egypt.”
They would do it. ILearned en
neers would be sent to clean up
e Bgyptian filth piles in which flies
eed, a god milk supply for Egyptian
bies would be organized, with free
ained nurse service on the banks of
d Nile, etc?
A successful lawsuit oftne im
roves living conditions. Belief in
incarnation, with no guarantee as to
e next habitation, would do more.
Only two more States needed to
ut woman suffrage in the constitu
ion. That an amendment re‘gniz
ng the rights and intelligence of
hite women should come so ]ong‘
‘after the amendment givng the vote '
to black men is not the suprising|
part. The surprise, considering the
en that inhabit the earth, is that
oman suffrage comes this century
nstead of next.
Woman may say with Goethe:
“The indescribable here is done.”
And men that have faith in their
mothers and in the goodness of
women, will add the last line:
© “Das ewig’ weibbliche zieht uns
hinan.”
That line, best known, perhaps, of
any outside of Shakespeare, means
“the eternal feminne (or womanli
ness) leads upward.”
An important milestone goes by in
the human procession, as men recog
nize woman's right tn share in legis
lation that controls her, her sons“
and daughters. Politicians will now
be compelled to ask themselves:
“What do the women want?” Every
one but the fool knows that women
want what is just, being infinitely |
less selfish than men. }

Before the Toledo Scale Company's
office in Frank Munsey's grand
building in New York is a shiny
weighing machine with this sign:
“Your Weight Free.” |
Men and boys stand in line—women |
don't—to see how much their bodies
weigh.
Farther uptown is a big public:
library in which, “free,” you may as
certain the weight nf your mind, and
even add to it. But nobody stands
in line there. Various problems will
be settled when the inhabitants of
this magnificent country take, on the
average, as much interest in their
brains as in ther bodes.
At least 25,000,000 human beings
are reading “The Diarv of Ruth Ran

the man with whom she was living,
disregarding that man’'s wife. The
diary, telling how the lady gradually
worked herself up to tha pitch of mur
der and suicide, is worth reading for
various reasons,
It proves that “the wages of sin is
death,” and sometimes even for the
gentleman in the case. That is use
ful. It :s well for men to be reminded
that women sometimes decline to go
alone.
The diary also proves the literary
value of intense emotion. Ruth Ran
dall wrote almost good poetry, on
looking into Capt. Bleyer's face when
she suspected that he was getting
tired. It reminds yon iu a queer way
of Keats', “On Looking Into. Chap

The attorney general pointed out
that 107 convictions had been obtained
for hoarding, and in addition to these
754 indictments had been brought In.
There were 109 profiteering cases. Of
195 cases awaiting action by the
courts, the report states, 129 involved
sugar transactions. ?
A direct result of the department's
activity, it was pointed out, was the

Says Males Have Degenerated as
‘ 5 .
~ Result of Ascendancy Gained
1 by Women.,
(By Universal Service.)
CHICAGO, March 12.—The male
of the human species has degenerated
as a result of the ascendency gained
by women in national affairs, ac
cording to Dr. William J. Hickson,
‘head of the Chicago Psychopathic
Labortary and internationally famous]
'as a psychopathologist. The war and
|
the reform wave which is sweeping
‘the country, in the opinion of Doc
‘tor Hickson, have made women the
masters of men, undermining their
physical and mental virility.
“The war brought women to the
‘fmm." explained Doctor Hickson.
i"lt emancipated them in a way. They
istepped into responsible positions,
They were practically the backbone
of the war hysteria. It was the
women who yelled loudest for killing.
‘They served on committees in uni
jform& They took up smoking and‘
fell into masculine ways psycholo-}
gically. |
GOT DROP ON MEN. . |
|
. “The result is that women "have
|
secured the drop on men in this coun
try. The reforms being conducted are
being inspired usually by women.
These reforms aim at one thing—to
put upon ‘man the same restrictions
lunder which woman has been func
tioning for a century. ;
. “Prohibition is typical of the mod
eyn puritan mania, The church
movements are also typical. They,
with prohibition, with so-called high
standards of morality, result in a
deterioration of masculine physical}
and mental virility, a falling off of
creative ability of the birthrate—the
‘atter already noticeable. ‘
“American pep, which was the re
sult of a masculine dominated coun
try, will soon be a thing of the past.!
With the collapse of thaé¥male ascend
ancy in this country we can look for
ward to a nation of degeneration.
“The effeminization of man is al
ready to be. observed - and studied
scientifically in Amertea,, This is al
ways a running mate with puritan
ism.
DECADENCE SEEN,
“The suppression of sex in America
will ultimately have its harvest in a
decadence-—a phenomenon aiready ' e
ginning. The male today is inferior
in most respects te the female. He
is aping her in the matter of clothes
—wearing tight fitting, skirted coats.
He bows to her legislation and vague
ly whoops it up for her reforms. He
is fast taking second place, and with
his fall there is no question that
|production in the United States, men
tal and matetial, will decline. lln
If;wt, the present decline in produc
| tion is as much due to the decline in
the rhale as te other economic con
ditions.
“In Germany, the national vigor
was broken down as much by the war
as anything else. Women seemingly
wanted this war more than men.
Whether they instinctively felt in it
an opportunity to gain supremacy as
a sex is a matter for debate. But
they have, in America, achieved their
purpose. The average American home
today is dominated by a woman. Our
‘deas of right and wrong are effemi
-late. ;
“QOur politics is a form of effemi
nate idealism. An inversion is obvi
ously taking place and there is no
way to stop-ft. The nation has ap
parentlv put its head in a noose of
Ipuritanism and the degeneration of
lindividual and national fiber is in
| evitable.”

Anti-Saloon League
ANNAPOLIS, March 12.—A com

777} LEADING NEWSPAPER e/e o\ )OF THE SOUTHEAST #}{w © g
An American Sport, Devised With
out Precedent by an American,
and the Cleanest of Them All,
——
By VICTOR VICTOR.
Atlanta owes a debt of gratitude
to the Atlanta Athletic Club, and to
any other force or forces which may
have been instrumental in bringing
the national basketball tournament,
now in progress at the Auditorium-
Armory, to this city.
The event is the biggest thing of its
kind that has yet taken place. One
of the officials, down here from New
York to serve in the contest, re
marked Thursday: “This is a won
derful thing for Atlanta.” ‘
This is because it has focused the
eyes of the country upon this city
as an enthusiastic friend of clean
sport. Basketball is the cleanest, as
vet, of all the great American games.
No taint of professionalism kas
tonched it. Its rules are sterner than
any others in their demand for white
sportsmanship. As though the nu
merous detailed rules defining fouls
were not enough, it is set down specif
ically-in the regulations that a team
shall be penalized for “using any un
sportsmanlike tactics not specifically
mentioned herein,” or if any player
shall “in any way conduct himself
‘ln an unsportsmanlike manner.”
. Itis seldom that these blanket rules
are invoked by a referee. Among
those who play the game today, it is
‘entirely unnecessary. Basketball is
a gentleman's game—not a wealthy
’gentleman‘s game like golf—but a
Bame in which one who is not a gen
tleman, as well as an exceptional ath
lete, does not last long.
PUBLIC INTEREST.
The public interest in the game, as
a field of intercollegiate and inter
club competition, and as a delightful
entertainment for spectators, has
grown by leaps and bounds within
the past few years; and yet, in that
respect, the game. is just at the be
gipning of its progress to its rightful
place. This Atlanta tournament is
an acknowledged landmark, and It is
pretty ¢ertain to occupy important
space in every big newspaper in the
country, from Seattle to Key West.
i As a spectator's sport, basketball
already ranks next to baseball and
football with the American public.
’ But it is as a player’s sport that it
very likely ranks first. It is alto
gether probable that it is played to
day by more devotees than any otber
one game. It is undoubtedly the fa
vorite of all indoor games in gymna
siums throughout the country, and
it is rapidly becoming the most pop
ular of playground sports for boys and
girls. This is not only due to the
fascination that rests in the play and
its acknowledged position as a force
for physical development, but to the
fact that the game can be playead
under less specialized conditions and
with less expensive equipment than
almost any other form of team play
yet devised. Volleyball is perhaps its
only equal in this latter regard, and
volleyball, while more suitable for
older people because it is less strenu
ous, i 8 by no means the thrilling
contest of speed, accuracy and en
durance that basketball is.
As a playground sport, tennis re
quires individual possession of more
or less expensive equipment and a
plot of ground especially prepared
and kept in condition only with ex
pense and labor. Baseball requires
large spaces which are growing less
and iess available for playground pur
poses in our large cities. Golf is en
tirely a rich man's game.
But given any plot of ground of
reasonable dimensions and fairly
level, or any space indoors, the di
mensions of which are not less than
35 by 60 feet; stick up a pair of in
expensive and practically indestructi
ble uprights at the ends, with a
couple of iron hoops attached, and
yvou have a basketball court,
COMPLETELY AMERICAN.
The game is the most distinctively
American of all sports. And it is
| unique in the fact that, unlike any
other game which has attained such
tremendous popularity, it is not an
evolution from other games, but
sprang full-fledged, without prece
dent, and practically in its present
form, from the brain of an American
originator.
In 1891, one James Naismith, now
physical director of the department
of physical training in the Univer
gity of Kansas, was both a student
and a member of the faculty of the
{Y. M. C. A. "Training School in
Springfield, Mass. There, in a psy
‘(vhol()gy class one day, one of his
teachers put a hypothetical problem
to the students. They were to devise
an ideal game.
The conditions outlined were: It
must be playable both indoors and
out, it must be equally available for
men and women, it must develop
every muscle in the body, it must
furnish an endless field for the de
velopment of skill and science, but
must yet be so simple that a group
given the rules in five minutes could
go out on the gymnasium floor and
play it successfully without further
instruction, and it must be so fasci
nating to players that it would de
velop devotees which no other form
of physical training could reach. Such
a game did not yet exist.
Young Nalismith set to work de
liberately and evolved “basketball.”
The game not only fulfilled all of
Ithe professor’s conditions, but 1t
possessed one other supreme quality
which had not been counted upon. In
the hands of skilful players, it became
a thing of beauty and of absorbing
excitement to spectators.
The rules have grown much more
complicated, but they have not
changed in principle since Naismith
put them into practice in his Spring
field classes in 1802, Naismith even
evolved, after a few experiments with
all sorts of balls, hard and soft, the
form and kind of sphere which is
used today.
As early as 1804, basketball had
reachzd Paris, France and Melbourne,

Peeress, Waging War on Liquor
' '
in England, Outlines Her
Objectives,
By FLOYD MacGRIFF,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N.”S.
LONDON, March 12, —William
(“Pussyfoot”) Johnson is in danger
of being overshadowed in the fight
to make Great Britain dry by Vis
countess Astor, despite his spectacu
lar entry into the fray.
Viscountess Astor, who already has
opened her campaign in Parliament,
is determined to see the battle
t/hrough to a finish, although her aims
are less drastic than those of the ex
tremist faction led by Mr. Johnson.
In outlining her attitude today, she
said she is now a prohibitionist lln
the strictest sense of the word. Wzile
she wants to see the British Isles
“bone dry,” she believes that restric
tion and control of the drink ques
tion should be the first step in the
gradual reforms that would eventual
ly end in prohibition such as the
United States has at present.
The American born viscountess
takes a practical view of the tem
perance struggle. She sayvs she is not
a “woman with a mission,” but mere
ly trying to “do her bit” to make the
people happier,
ENGLAND NOT READY.
“While the whole world is ap
parently moving towards prohibition
I think BEngland today is not ready
for it,” declared V'scountess Astor.
“Prohibitionists want .a whole apple
or, none. 1 will accept half an appre
or even a quarter of one.
“l fail to see where intoxicating
liquor has done any good in this
world. 1 believe its effects should be
minimized as much as possjble and
its use restricted.
“The important thing is to protect
the coming generation from drink. No
father wants his children to fall
under the influence of alcohol.
“There is another feature: The
working men must have some rec
reation other than the degrading
bestiality of booze. His interests can
never be looked after so long as the
breweries are in charge of our liquor
business. The first step, therefore,
is state ownership of breweries, dis
‘tilleries .:and public houses.
“When - they are operated P! the
'state public houses must be made to
provide good food, tea, co’fee and
cocoa and push the sale of these as
well as beer and whisky. Public house
owners now aim to fill up the cusro
mer with liquor to the point of intox
fcation,
MUST BE BOUGHT.
“The breweries and public houses
can be obtained only by purchase.
The British love of fair play would
not permit confiscation. The voters,
I believe, should have submitted to
them by districts, three choices: (a)
Continuation of the liquor gusiness
as at present; (b) state ownership
and control; (c¢) prohibition. 3
“When the truth dawns upen the
working man he is going to demand
changes so as to help create a bet
ter England. He is not going to be
the alcoholic bully who deprives his
own -off-spring of possible advan
tages. Personally, I-do not pose as
‘my brother’'s keeper.’ I-have no wish
to prohibit any person from having
his glass of beer. But I am deeply
interested in arousing this nation to
its manifest duty of cleansing itself
of John Barleycorn's worst features
and herifage.”
Chamber Meetings to
Begin Friday Afternoon
Beginning Friday afternoon a se
ries of group meetings will be held
at the Chamber of Commerce, at
which the work to be undertaken
will be outlined, according to an
nouncement today by John M. Cooper,
chairman of the committee on ar
rangements. The meetings will be
held each afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
except Tuesdays and Fridays, when
they will be held at 3:30 o'clock.
Invitations will be sent to 400
members each day. The list of mem
bers will be taken up in alphabetical
order and the meetings will be held
until the list has been exhausted.
George Gove of the American Cities
Burean will make a talk at each of
the meetings.
Bishop Leete to

Bigshop Frederick D. Leets, resident
bishop of the Atlanta area of the

and estimate eontinues to clear more |
than S3OO per day by their (\pemlion.:
Yesterday a commillee of the boardt
of estimate recommenced the appro- |
priation of $1,000,06¢ with which toi
‘buy new busses and open up new |
lines. While routes have not been |
mapped out, Commissicner Grover A. |
Whalen said muny of them will be |
on Staten Island, while a few will|
be established out of Fiushing, on|
Long Island. |
“But this is only a beginuing,” Mr. |
Whalen declared. “More of the publl(‘,"
is using busses every cay. Eventually |
people wil demand such servico as,
the city can give wilh busses, which |
can mean only the compiete down-:
fall of the surface trolley lines.” |
: He said busses are more economica]}
;less subject to traffic blockades and
imntrilmtor,\‘ to accidents; tha& they{
‘mnko better time; and they will re-|
' duce taxes and high rents because
\yof their high earning ca&pacity. {
A force which may militate against!
approval of the appropriation by |
the board of estimate is the antagon- |
lism of Borough President Curran of |
Manhattan.
j Mr. Curran endorses statements of
; certain users aof busses who claim they
are crowded, badly ventilated and un
} heated. ‘
l New York naw has bus lines cover
ing eighty miles on nineteen routes.
t'fl'n first motor bus under city sup
}m-\'ision was put in operation Sep
tember 21. 1919. There are now 200.
’ “While the surface lines of the New
York Railwavs are capitalized at
‘more than $500.000 the mile, 25 miles |
}of bus lines can be equipped at an
‘average cost of $2,000 per mile,” Mr.
Whalen said. He explained that
\az&lns‘ cost of busses and garage is
lqost cars and car barns, with
’zaéks. power, and all appurtenances
r the street cars. The difference,
he declared, is about 10 per cent.
As to service, he explained the
busses save about ten minutes each!
day, or six and a fraction days out |
of three hundred working days, over
the trolleys.
“Busses are not subject to block- [
ade,” he went on, “If a trolley breaks
the street is tied up; if it's a bus the
next one takes on the passengers and "
there's litle time lost.” i

JACKSON, Miss.,, March 12.—The
House Judiciary Committee Thurs
day favorably reported the bill framed
by Speaker Connor and Mr. Stone of
Washington, instructing the atior

cover the cotton tax collected by the
United States in Southern States fol
lowing the Civil War, totaling be
tween $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 dol
lars in Mississippl.
The tax was collected, but never
expended, and is now in the United
States treasury, the Supreme Court
having held that it was an illegal tax.
The records showing names of par
ties by whom the taxes were paid
‘have rotted. And the plan of pro

Is Hearse a Pleasure '

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 12.—1 s a
hearse a pleasure car?
' This question is put to Daniel C.
{Roper, commissioner of internal rev

,I)avid J. Nevin, who, as attorpey for
' the Michigan Hears and Motor Com
'puny of Grad Rapids, Mich., build

DREAMING.
BA(‘K vonger in my boyhood
days
I dreamed fair dreams ofigolden
bays
I'd wear upon my brow;
Of things of honor and of worth
I'd wrest from out the stores
earth
For my enjoyment now.
And now I dream of all the joy
That was my own when as a boy
I planned thoge wondrous
schemes,
And bless my days both young
and old
For all the glad things 1 be
hold
In dreams.
(Copyright, 1920, Atlanta Georgian,)
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, March 12—
With 14 known dead and several still
missing, grave fears were held today
that re-establishment of communica
tion with isolated Ozark points will
add still more to the death toll of the
tornado which late Thursday swept
the “Sheperd of the Hills Country.”
Three were kiled at Nevada, where
the force of the storm was first felt.
The full fury of the stortn was appa
rently spent in Turkey Creek valley.
The little village of Melva was prac
tically wiped out and eleven are
known to have lost their lives there,
sevan being children.
A dozen other smal villages dotting
the Ozark hillg in Turkey valley were
swept by the storm and it is from
these that reports are awaited.
White River is still rising early
today as a result of heavy rainfall
accompanying the storm and a huge
dam at Powersite, at which is located
a big electric generating plant, is
threatened.
A relief train, sent out by the Mis
souri Pacific, brought many injured
and homeless to Branson, the largest
of three resort points in the “Bhep
‘herd of the Hills" country. Efforts
were being made to reach isolated
points with motor launches,

President Severely Criticized for
View on Militarism—Thought
trresponsible Through lliness.
President Wilson’s letter to Senator
Hitchcock, in which incidentally he
charges that the militarists and im
perialists are in the saddle in France
has caysed a profound stir in that
country,, Universal Service today
presents some additional views by
leafting Frenchmen. 7

7. By RENE VIVIANI, .
. Former Premier of France.
PARIS, March 12.—President Wil=
son's letter to Senator Hitcheock is
too grave a matter to eomment upoh
until the American Senate has ex
pressed an opinion showing whether ¢
it does or does not back his views.
1 think it better for France to take
an attitude as if the letter had never
been written,
-
By C. BONNEFOU, -
Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, March 12.—President Wil
son evidently does not realize what
he says. The question is how long
Americans will stand for an irrespon
sible President.
By L. A. ST. EYRIE,
Member of the Chamber of Dcputho‘.
PARIS, March 12.—Nobody here
understands why the United States
allows itself to be governed by a sick
man. It is regrettable that the treaty
should be made the pretext for the
furtherance of personal ambitions and
party politics. France is merely seeks
ing the reparation due her. Presi
dent Wilson's attitude is apparently
calculated to prevent the rebirth of
our republic.
By C. DE LAMACIERE,
Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, March 12.—France asks
‘only for the application of the treaty
which was signed by President Wil
son, If the United States does not
intend to honor the signature of its
President, it is America’s fault, not
France's. France feels that the ma
jority of the American people does
not share President Wilson's opinion
that France's desire for protection
against Germany's wish for revenge
can be characterized as imperialism.
By MARCEL CACHIN,
Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, March 12.—President Wil
son has failed to quell the imperial
istic tendencies of the European gov
ernments because the task is beyond
‘human strength. Now imperialism is
‘more rope than ever. The war con
‘tinues, hatred among the peoples is
‘lncreasing and the world is going to
iruln.
By ROBERT DE JOUVENEL,
Prominent Parisian Journalist.
PARIS, March 12.—Clemenceau did
not believe in the possibility of aps
peasing difficulties among nations
and classes except by force. When
he was replaced by the present gov
ernmen! the National party insisted
upon maintaining an army of 800.;
000 men and on spending billions for
intervention in Russia and for pre
paring an expedition to Syria. Ap=
pearances, therefore, offer an excuse
for President Wilson’s error in siz
ing up the situation in France,
