Today i Be Thankful. I New French Worry. *Sport” and the Gunman flapoleon and Lloyd George. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE ^ Be thankful. We are prosperous. And far from Europe and Asia. And, above all, we have thus f ir kept out of Europe's complica te Ions. We are 110,000,000 of free peo I 'le, a nation made up of 48 na l Sons, all at peace, each rejoic » •' tog in the success of the other 47, all trading freely—all grow ing, prospering. Be thankful. The French have a new worry that for a moment takes their at tention from England’s unwilling ness to have France carve a new province out of German territory. The new worry for France is the combination between Italy and Spain. Those two nations always a have, felt that France assumed too much of a dictatorship among I Latin peoples. France feels that Italy and Spain have- been jealous of France, their great Latin sister, and beyond question a leader among nations. The king of Spain has been made an officer in Mussolini’s fas cisti organization. Spain and Italy have entered into close trade agreements. i And now Prime Kwera, Spanish Dictator, maps out a program for building fighting flying machines Ind other things that seem to Breaten French domination on the Bntinent. H France and the rest of Europe He far from peace and / from Hace of mind, but the French are ^■rerful. Their rule may outlast ^B century. S^B there any connection between noble "sport” of prize fight H that many states legalize and |H epidemic of killing by profes |Hial gunmen? Hwo brothers named Diamond ^Efess that they hirid other men V shoot down bank messengers, Bbbed of $43,000. This is one Bne from the confession, “I came pack to New York to see the Siki |Cid Norfolk fight.” That was a "sport” calculated to make the fu ture gunmen feel thqt laws against assault and battery are not so very serious. _' Another individual, named as one of the hired murderers, ac cused also of another murder, is Michael Mazziano, former prize fighter. From fighting for a living, to shooting for a living, wasn’t much of a change. The late Big Tim Sullivan, when he introduced the "Sullivan _ law” forbidding the carrying of pistole, said to this writer, “For $60 I can hire a man to murder anybody in New York City.” Is it a good idea to establish prize fighting as a school for gun men? A learned gentleman says, “There is considerable similarity, both physical and mental, between Napoleon Bonaparte and Lloyd George.” They are alike super ficially, both short, both courage ous. They were as far apart as Jack Dempsey and Julia Ward Howe otherwise. Napoleon thought constantly of himself. Lloyd George thinks of the British empire first, humanity second, himself last of all. The poor, buying coal by the bucket, pay from $22 to $30 for 2,000 pounds. The rich, filling their cellars, pay' $14.60. The • very rich, able to go direct to the mines and buy it by the carloads for their large houses, green houses, etc., pay about $11 foT 2,240 pounds, the full "gross ton.” That’s according to program. “To him that hath shall be given.” And as usual, from him that hath not shall be taken away his last red cent. Dr. J. Paul Goode, by careful figures, proves that one gigantic modern locomotive and two men will do the transportation work of 1,000,000 coolies. A few great knitting machines with a few men or women to man age them can do the work of 1,000,000 knitting women. Our prosperity is based on our superior slaves—but they are slaves made of steel, driven by steam and elec tricity, with productive power un limited. Kansas City, Mo., and Long Beach, Cal., engage in a pious contest to see which could gather the greatest Bible class. Kansas City warning its citizens with blasts from 75 bugles, widely scat tered, gathered 62,121 men in a gigantic class, 20,000 inside, the rest outside Convention hall. Long Beach, according to Kansas City, had only 31,014 in its Sunday Bible class, and Kansas City triumphs, as is proper. Long Beach says, “With all our other attractions, our showing is very good. Besides, it’s as good as any Bible class, to go and look at the Pacific ocean for an hour.” But Kansas City wins.

The IdeoT Is Feminine Response “Are men more intelligent than women?’’ Opinion* varied when several Omahans were Interview ed on thl* question. Both ***** were wary In their statement* after the Tuesday evening lecture of Prof. 0. C. Weber at the Chamber of Com merce. who produced data to prove that men were more lngenioua than women, and therefore more Intelli gent, but that women are superior In matters of memory. “They certainly are not.” buret out Mrs. Mary Mareden Kinsey of the burgeaa-Naah company. "I wonder where The Bee ever got the nerve to put that on the front page. Why. women are Juat ae Intelligent as men, If not more ao. Ae a rule, women have keener mlnda than men.

I was Just thinking of fcladam Curie, who won the Nobel prize In science, when Prof. Weber said that women were inferior in science," she ventured. The male contingent, though In wardly swelled by the assertions of Prof. Weber, were rather timid In voicing their opinions. "It takes a brave man to say anything on a sub Ject like that," sold Weatherman M V. Robins. "I am not experienced In such matters, but from my own ob servatlons It seems that when we went to school the boys were a little better In science, while In mathemat Ics the girls held a slight edge, if anything. There are some things 1 would leave to the wife, while there are others where I feel a man would be justified in considering his de cislon more weighty. But one can not really declare which Is superior, since they are so different." According to E. E. McMIllen. dean of boys at Central High school and principal-to-be of the North High, there Is very little difference. "In school, girls hold higher scholarship records," he declared. "This Is duo to their desire to 'strive to pleese On the other hand, boy* are more regardless of carrying out orders, and more independent. "For this reason hoys are able to get ahead In the business world faster than girls on account of their superior initiative, although they do 1 not rank as high as girls in school marks. The mentality of men and women Is about equal. Of course there are more men geniuses than women, but there are more feeble minded men than women.” Mrs. J. E. Davidson, wife of King Ak Sar Ben. 1823. refused to be quoted. "I’d prefer not to say any thing on the matter." she declared. €%onpon .ftdfen & Co.
