One Foolish ft reach Pa/ter
A Japanese Advises Us.
The Judge Is Puzzled.
Wonderful Bricklayer.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
The Paris' Journal des Debats
ordinarily a sane newspaper, sug
gests that America is responsible
tor troubles in the Ruhr “because
American sympathy encourages
German resistance,” and some
Americans, including a few that
ought to know better, would have
us refer such ideAs and accusations
to a league of nations, or a world
court. *
Independence of European opin
ion and European court decisions
is what this country especially
needs, hated, as it is by the whole
of Europe.
Mr. Mineichiro Adachi, able
Japanese statesman, representing
Japan as minister to Belgium, is
busy at Geneva preparing a plan
“that would enable the United
States to join the world court
without in any. way committing
itself to membership in the league
of nations.” A Harvard professor
:s working with Mr. Adachi, il
seems.
All that will interest- Hiram
Johnson and the rest of the Pacific
coast. It won’t help get votes for
the world court.
A Chicago judge is puzzled, and
wonders what Solomon would have
done. A man and two ladies ap
pear, one lady bringing a small
child. So far, all is natural, “just
the little old triangle.” the judge
says to himself. He can handle
that easily enough. But not at all,
it’s a new triangle. Both ladies
are happy and both want the man
sent home to them. They’re satis
fied, he is satisfied. One woman
is married to him, one is not. Th,ey
don’t care. But the judge does
care, and sends the man to jail,
while he, the judge, thinks it over
for 30 days. ,
Nobody is complaining, every
body is satisfied in that new tri
angle, but something must be done.
Once a scarlet letter would have
been sewed on the dress of Lady
N'o. 2. The man would have been
put in the stocks. But we have
outgrown that. What would you
do?
Clarence Demar, 35, won the
25-mile marathoe race at Boston,
his third long distance' victory.
There is ho sense in the running.
The Greeks would have telephoned
the news, had they had telephones.
But the races interest us for a man
35 years old, beating younger men
in so hard a test* shows what wise
living will do.
In that same race appeared a
middle-aged, grav-haired man
nam£d Kennedy, bricklayer by
trade. Doctors warned him not to
run because of his heart. He ran
ind finished eighth, with heart in
;ood shape. “I just needed a little
exercise,” he said. You that
wheeze from your desk to the
levator and from the elevator to
our desk, what would you give for
hat bricklayer's constitution?
One of the most useful branches
>f John Hopkins, an institution
hat honors Maryland and the
whole nation, is the psychiatric
clinic, built and maintained for 10
vears by Mr. Phipps, the donor.
Now $2,000,000 have been
raised to endow the work of the
clinic. And that institution will
■ndure indefinitely.
A few years ago Mr. Phipps was
celling gunpowder and other use
ful things in a litth* Ohio general
store.
In the evening he walked e.ght
miles and back to make a little
extra money, helping a blacksmith
to keep his books. Phipps, the
blacksmith, and Carnegie met and
went into the iron business to
gether, and Johns Hopkins psy
chiatric clinic is part of the result.
Providence works mysteriously
successfully.
A wise alderman, his name hap
pens to he SoIoYnon, wants a law
.hat would compel the display of
sn American flag at least four
feet long, three feet wide, at all
public meetings. The good-sized
'lag, he thinks, would counteract
radicalism.
Frederick the Great’s father,
leeing a look of fear on some boys
11 the street, chased them with his
•ane, shouting “I’ll make yoti love
Tie.” He failed probably.
You can’t make people love a
flag by forcing it on them. Main
tain order and let everybody talk
That’s the best plan( and it used
:n he the American plan.
The dancing craze continues.
>ne man dropped dead, just as he
,’inished his long dance.' Various
young danciijg women are in hospi
tals with hearts in bad shape.
The craze shows what energy
there is going to waste in the coun
try. Millions will do anything, no
matter how hard or how painful,
if you tell them they can "he some
body.” Even the glory of a shiny
cabaret floor will satisfy them if
nothing better offers. Too had
the wasted human power can’t he
harnessed usefully- It would pro
duce more than Niagara.
“Woodrow Wilson will make ro-»
peal or modifieation of the Vol
stead act the rallying cry of the
democrats in 1924." That’s what
a Wnshir.glon dispatch says.
That might he, if Mr. Wilson
were the candidate, a possibility
that he is said to consider seriously.
But if his son-in-law, McAdoo,
were candidate, or W. J. Bryan
(anything 'is possible) there would
be no prohibition attack.
If Underwood were to run, with
A1 Smith of New York, for vice
president, which is the well pre
pared plan of a very powerful
organization, Volstead would be*
attacked, roughly.

Balano entered. She was so afraid of
Mike, she said, that she paid no it
tention to what he said when she tried
to hurry him from the house. Balano
had been drinking and was quarrel
some, it was said. Salerno, hearing
! loud voices, rushed into the room, be
■ lieving that the couple were fighting.

Feminist Leader, Wife of
Noted Lawyer, Visits Here
Dudley Field Malone, Former Collector for Port of
New York, Introduces Life Mate as “Miss Doris
Stevens,” Her Maiden Name—She Works
for Equality of Womanhood.
Miss Doris Stevens, wife of Dudley Field Malone, formerly collector of
the port of' New York and now an international lawyer with offices and hornet
I in hoth New \ ork and Paris, is in Omaha, visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. II. H. Stev
ens, 3647 Charles

It Is her first
visit home since
her marriage in
New York, Decem
ber 10, 1021.
Miss Stevens is
one of Omaha’s
brilliant young
women. She has
taken and still
takes a leading
part in th^ fem
inist program. Her
book, ‘‘Jailed for
Freedom,” written
of her experience
after her arrest for
picketing the
White House, is
well known.
Miss Stevens is
not Only brainy,
but she is beauti
ful with faultless
complexion, wavy
hair, spilling eyes,
pretty mouth, a
musical vofc-e and
trim figure, styl
ishly gowned.

Name.
“Xo, ' she said,
"I am not Mrs.
Dudley F i el d Ma
lone. I am Miss
Doris Stevens. Dud
ley Field Malone is
my husband.
When he Intro
duces me, he says.
'This Is my. wife, y
Miss Doris Stev
ens.’
"That is sens!
hie. isn't it? Why
should the woman
Stive up her name
lose it, forget it.
just because she
happens to be mar
r.ed? That custom
is part of the un
equality of woman
which still re
mains. "
And Miss Stevens
smiled in a way
which convinced
the mascutlne re
porter that this
!» 2Ti S? Dor tv3.
\ _
custom must and shall be changed.
“I see you don't wear a wedding
ring,’’ he remarked.
"Another rather foolish custom,''
said Miss Stevens.
On her "engagement finger' she
wears an enormous green Russian
scarab. Asked altout her "engage
ment ring." she showed it—on the lit
tle finger of her right hand. It is
a large emerald, the hand of the ring
encrusted with diamonds.
"Did you give up your career for
marriage?" she was asked.
"Indeed I did not. Ever since we
came back from Paris in October, I
have been making speeches in New
York for the new feminist program to
make women equal to men before the
law and in custom.”
"Bo you think a woman can have
both a home and a career?”
"Yes. In fact.'' said MIsh Stevens,
"a woman's love chances are much
better if she doesn't sink h*-r iden
tity, if she has some outside Inter
est. She won't get tired of her hus
band. nor he of her."
At this point Mother Stevens, who
had been beaming love snd admiration
on her daughter, could contain her
self no longer.
Admirers Many.
"Doris had lots of admirers when
she was scarcely out of high school,”
she said, "and when they got too per
sistent, she would tell them all they
were just friends and she didn't in
tend to get married for a tong, long
time."
Doris laughed and reached over and
took hold of her mother's arm.
“Now, mother, mother?' she pro
tested. "You see she's just like all
mothers. Well, f did hold off from
marriage quite a while amt I'm glad
I did.”
Miss Stevens is aisiut 25. but looks
no more than 25.
She will leave tonight to join her
husband In New York. They will sail
next Saturday on the Olympic for
Paris.

"We have our home In Westches

apartment in Paris." said Mrs. Ma

believe In making housekeeping Just
as practical as possible and won't
have an establishment that requires

Economists See
Good U.S. Demand
for Farm Products
_
Less Favorable Foreign Mar
ket Predicted in Report on
Conditions Made to
Secretary Wallace.
Hj Anwciateit Prwti.
! Washington. April 22.—At least no
| reduction in the supply of American
farm products this year, a slightly less
| favorable foreign demand and an
active demand at home as long as the
, present' business conditions continue,
I were forecast by a committee
of 18 prominent economists and
statisticians in a report to Secretary
Wallace of the Department af Agri
culture after a two-day conference
here.
"It Is of the most vital Interest to
American agriculture," the report said,
"that the United States lend aid in
every way possible to the settlement
of the reparation and other European
problems.
"The favorable factors with respect
to foreign demand are: First, the in
fluence of American prosperity upon
the demand for European goods and
second, the possibility that the slight
business recovery that has occurred
in a number of European countries
may gradually gain momentum.
I nfavorable Factors.
“The unfavorable factors are: First,
the progressive piling up of govern
ment debts on the continent of Europe,
with its offset upon exchange, cur
rency and'business; second, the Ruhr
situation.
“With some overflow of the busi
ness activity of the United States to
the rest of the world, particularly the
non-European part of the world, the
prospect would rather be that there
will be some increase in the produc
tion of foods in foreign countries. We
cannot, therefore, confidently offer
any’ reason for the expectation that
our farmers will meet any less severe
competition in European markets dur
ing the coming year than they have
met during the last year."
Predicting the domestic demand for
agriculture products would l*“ active
as long as the present condition of
business with full employment con
tinued, the committee said most com
petent observers seem to agree the
country may expect general business
prosperity to last at least six to nine
months longer. *
In Unfavorable Condition.
The enrmous net movement of
fl,120,0>li) persons from farms to tow ns
and cities in the two years ending
December SI, lf<22, leaves the farms
in an unfavorable position to meet
emergencies, the committee declared.
With European countries making
efforts to place their gralPi production
on a prewar basis, the heavy wheat
export* of the last two years may he
expected to decline and the commit
tee advises that American production
should be readjusted to meet these
changing conditions. The condition
1 of winter wheat is unfavorable, in
tended plantings of spring wheat are
;5.5 per cent below spring planting.
The corn situation is about nor
mal. the committee found, but be
tween now and the time the1 new crop
Is harvested there will be some ten
dency toward corn shortage because
of the larger number of pigs on feed
Hog production has been heavy and
is still In a state of expansion. Un
less bad weather and other conditions
have reduced the number of spring
pigs to an unusual degree, the price
of hogs may be depressed next fall
and winter.

Famous Portrait Painter Declares
~ ■
By | niimal s^rvlrf.
Paris. April 22.—"In my 23 years
of painting I have never seen a per
fect model nor a really pretty
woman,” said Sir William Orpen,
great portrait paintc-r, today.
Sir William's pronouncement will
| no doubt cause a sensation in social
| circles, in view of the large number
of famous women he has painted.
"Ten or 13 years ago artists had
little trouble to select pain table arms
and legs, but now they have to
search frequently for weeks," said
the painter.
Sir William lays the blame for this
to automobiles. Women use automo
biles so much, he says, that their legs
become thin ami their feet and arms
wanly Artificial.
"They substitute paint for the glow
of health.” he said, "so how can
painteis lie expected to portray their
'beauty’ when it is artificial.
"From my observations I would say
that women s legs are steadily getting
thinner, their waists fatter, their
shoulders bonier. I have seen photo
graphs of the winners of newspaper
beauty contests, and I have also
combed the movies, and I have not
found one genuinely lovely woman.
"On account of this condition we
are up against a great difficulty, for
while we imint portraits In a strong
natural light, the majority of models
look wan and haggard In anything
hut artificial light."
