THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY. FEUUUAIIY 22. 1921 FIVE COMMENT & DISCOMMENT In our litany for today r.nist he in cluded a prayer to be delivered from pcientifie fools, especially the ones who have hyKiene on the bruin. The lat ent representative of this type to come within our ken is Dr. Joseph French Johnson, dean of New York univer sity, who has decided that if women must smoke, they should smoke pipes. "I certainly think a pipe iR the most fensible thin a woman can smoke," the dean is quoted as saying to the reporters who had an ear out to catch pvery word of wisdom the great man was uttering. Ami then the dean pro ceeds to give n lot of smoking in formation that interests us strangely. The pipe is the least injurious way of using tobacco, Joseph tells the girls. The smoker inhales loss nico tine, he continues. He hints that he rather prefers that women shouldn't rise Uie filthy weed at all. "1 might be a little grieved myself to see a pipe stuck l)otween the lips of a pretty girl, but it's her own affair if she cares to do it." The dean may rot be exactly posted as to the comparative effects of the Iipe, c'grrette and cigar, but he cer tainly knows the way to make a hit with the co-eds. He tells them it's their own affair, by which he shows that he is a deep student of psychol ogy and knows that if the dear crea tures want to smoke, nothing he can say will slop them. He stipulates, however, that he would prefer that they smoke clay pipes, changing to a fresh one each day, for that will be much more hygienic. Of course, the attitude of the pro fessor has startled New York city, or that portion of it which reads the newspapers, and pipe manufacturers are already preparing a fancy line of pipes to appeal to the feminine smok ers who will adopt the hygienic sug--estior.. Some of the.e days we'll see the vanity cases made even larger, with room for a pipe und a can of "Tu" next to the powder pulT nnd the lip stick. It'll le most convenient for the young man who wants to bor row a match or the makin's. There seems to be a regular con spiracy on the part of some of the intellectual elite to make the path way easier for the women who want to smoke and there's more of them than you have any idea exist. Dr. Aristine Munn-Recht, dean of women in the same university which Joseph adorns, disagrees with the pipe the ory, but adds quite naively: "Eth ically the women have the same right to smoke as the men." rtand together in favoring western plays ami players.

Dr. Aristine is a woman and has an uncommonly pretty name, if we may he allowed to say so. She talks some thing like a sprinkling can, but this may be excused in a pretty woman. We hope that she answers this de scription, and it is our sincere belief that she does, for only a pretty woman could get away with such nonsense and continue as dean of women. The SeottsblufT council is all exer cised because that city has not been drawing interest on funds on deposit in the local banks. We are surprised that a city of that juze, which is one of the few places in these western wilds to "appreciate big business," can be so far behind the times. Alli ance has been drawing interest on city funds for years. Miss Lucy Page Gaston may be out of a job, but her soul goes marching on. Miss Lucy is the dear old soul who has been warring against the deadly cigarette for years and years- in fact, just about as long as there has been any money in the reform business. She discovered this particu lar graft in Kansas, and has worked it for all it was worth, beginning her activities after Carrie Nation had pre-empted the saloon field and had secured a patent on a hatchet for smashing bar fixtures. Miss Lucy was, to put it vulgarly, canned from her own ler-gue a few short weeks ago. It seems that she took in too much territory. Had she confined her efforts to Kansas, she would still be drawing a salary. But things looked too prod for Lucy. Shf couldn't stand prosperity. She figured it all out: If the people of Kansas could contribute enowvh to keep Jiei living pretty well and pay her travel ing expense;-, th whole nation wou'd come acvo-s with crcn more. So fie formed branches of her league in va rious other state-., nnd her ambition, like Cue-ar's, proved her undoing. It seems that the league and Miss Lucy published a mairaz'ne, known s Coffin Nails, tlio sale of which swelled the league's coffers. This magazine has been published at Chicago, and MI.-s Lucy has been editing it from her home town of Topeka. She de cided she wanted it nearer home, but the league wanted it left in the Windy City. They won the battle, and in tl i controversy that followed, Lucy found herself gently shoved out of a job. The league that she had raised from a mere baby to a grown man turned her out in the cold in the middle of a hard winter. LAKESIDE H. S.

The newspapers in general over the Ftate have not played up the results of the child welfare committee's ques tionaires on the movies, but this may be because the superintendents of schools in some of the cities and towns discovered that the results didn't jus tify the suspicion that the movies were such a wicked influence for the young.
