Over Supply Of
Women Puzzles
German People
BERLIN.—-What is to become of
Germany’s surplus of women? This
is the interesting question raised by
the preliminary returns of the recent
census, indicating that there are about
two and a quarter million more wo¬
men than men, due largely to the rav¬
ages of the war.
Among the more conservative fam¬
ilies which believes that a woman’s
only worthwhile calling is to be a
wife, there is consternation. The
families had already considered the
chances for their daughters marrying
were limited by the fact that they
had lost most of their inherited wealth
during the inflated period, making the
dowries small. The census shows that
the chances of these girls are even
worse than they feared.
Progressive women claim to see in
the preponderance of females the pos¬
sibility of woman’s further emancipa¬
tion and her entering into fields of
work heretofore reserved for men.
They hope by sheer numbers to force
the men to accept equality of the
sexes.

Aug Hernpel stood up. “If you think

You go trying to live somebody else’s

"I’m not going to live his life for

it so that he’ll get full value out of

"And I suppose,” retorted Selina,
spiritedly, “that when your son-in-law*
Michael Arnold, is your age he’ll be
telling Bugene how ha roughed It In
an office over at the yards in the eld
days. These will be the old days."
August Hempel laughed good-humor¬
edly. "That can be, Selina. That caa

to the business at hand.
“You want to drain and tile. Plant
high-grade stuff. You got to have a

pen that seemed already filled with
Ink and that you unscrewed at the top
and then screwed at the bottom. He
squinted through his cigar smoke, the
check book propped on his knee. He
tore off the check with a dean rip.
“For a starter," he said. He held It
out to Selina.
"There now!" exclaimed Julie, In
triumphant satisfaction. That waa

But Selina did not take the check.

learned many things, among them that

ably the richest man in the world,
despite his many charities, is out 20
cents.
Twenty cents is nothing much to
him—or to the policeman, either, for
that matter—but the two dimes were
a gift from the oil king to the cop
and, as the sender of the first Christ¬
mas card said:
“It's the spirit that counts.”
The donation was made the day
Miss Abby Rockefeller, granddaugh¬
ter of Standard Oil’s creator, was
married to David Meriwether Milton.
An acquaintance of the family saw
him in a Fifth ave. shop an hour or
two before the ceremony—possibly
buying a belated gift for the bride.
With his purchase wrapped and un¬
der his arm, the aged millionaire left
the shop and confidently crossed the
crowded pavement to the spot where
he had left his limousine waiting.
It was not there. A traffice police¬
man, possibly the one who later re¬
ceived the two dimes, had ordered
the chauffeur to drive on and make
room for new arrivals.
The slight, withered figured in the
high crowned bowler and black coat
was inconspicuous among the hun¬
dreds of passersbys and he soon was
engulfed in the turbulent pedestrian
traffic.
Mr. Rockefeller is vigorous for his
age, but he decided not to waste Ms
strength battling the never-euding
horde of shoppers. He appealed to
the traffic cop to find his missing car
and driver.
He stood in the intersection of the
street, a defiant figure, despite his
age, while the policeman sallied down
the street and found his car. It drove
to the curb and the chauffeur helped
him in.
A crowd gathered and watched with
pleasure as Mr. Rockefeller explored
a pocket and handed a pourboiree to
his benefactor.
