Man retains his superiority over woman in . the respect of numbers, at least, according to a census statement giving the sex distribution of population in the United States. However, .the excess of 2,090,132 males over females, great as it seems, it only 4 per cent, as compared with a preponderance of 6 per cent in 1910. The "women are catching up here, as in all other re spects. t;; From the first settlements made in the new ' world, there have been more males than fe males. The perils of pioneer life were such as attracted men, especially those unmarried, , and repelled women. Immigration . from Europe his maintained this disparity, which is in fact, " greater today than it was 100 years ago. The following statement gives the number of males to 100 females for each census year since 1820: 1920.. ..104.0 1880. ...103.6 1840..:. 103.7 1910. ...106.0 1870.. ..102.2 1830. .. .103.1 1900. ...104.4 , I860.... 104.7 ' 1820. .. .103.3 1890.... 105.0 1850.... 104.3 The high point, it is seen, was between 1900 and 1910, which also was the period of greatest immigration. The effect of this movement on Eu rope is easy to imagine; for instance, in the Brit ish Isles women have almost 2,000,000 majority, and similar conditions exist in most of the old ' countries. The newness of the western part of America is witnessed by an excess of men over women that it not found in some parts of the cast. Mas- sachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, North Car- olina, Georgia and Alabama have fewer males i than females, and in the District of Columbia ! there are only 87 men to 100 women. Quite dif ' ferent from this is the showing of Nebraska, with ;-a ratio of 107.9 men, although this represents a ' decline from the condition 20 years ago when the figure was 112.5. Nevada, with 148.4 men to each 1 100 women, has; the, highest ratio. Nature maintains a pretty even .balance be- tween the sexes,, and t is to be noted that it is ,! not through differences in the division of births i that the proportion varies,- but rather from eco ; nomie factors. Men move out into the . newer lands; certain industries utilizing the labor of ; women arc established elsewhere to hold and at tract that portion of the population. No one will think for a minute that because the women clerks ' in the federal offices at Washington outnumber the men employed there that birth statistics in ! that district have been widely different from those : elsewhere. While formerly it was the men who i moved from one; place to another to seek their 1 fortune, women now also are more free lo change I -their homes. ', ' If 'immigration is held down in future years, nature may come close to equalizing the total v proportion of men anl women in America, al though some states, such as those having textile ; industries, may preserve their excess of females. : Scientists have found that after wars which have destroyed great numbers of men the birth rate ' frequently has shown a favoritism toward males; "j as if in the effort to keep matters even. Efforts liave been made to explain this' as due to lack . of food, which is sometimes thought to encourage ? male births. - However this may be, it has never i occurred to any one to borrow trouble by antici ! pating a world running excessively to members ' of one sex or the other. Making Walking Difficult. The 88-year-old man who turned up in Cin cinnati with the story that he had walked from St. Louis most probably was using a figure of speech. Unless he cut across fields tne whole way and avoided the highways, the chances are that he rode most of the distance by automobile. What motorist, bowling comfortably along, would not stop to pick up an aged man plodding painfully in the same direction? It is to be suspected that most of the cross continental pedestrians also negotiate a good part of the distance on fourteen-inch upholstered cushions. Some of the university boys at Lin ' coin understand these principles. Relying on the kind hearts of those driving on. the trail to Omaha, the boys start out bravely afoot, soon to secure an unsolicited lift. With railroad rates so high, travel by motor car has been given a new incentive, and a fillip, too, has been given walking tours, which are 99 per cent riding. Such hospitality costs the mo torist nothing "and undoubtedly adds to the con fidence in the innate kindness of human nature. If a man were to start out today to walk to the coast for b health, he would almost have to fight passing motorists in order to keep his re solve. ' ' One of Omaha's Real Blessings. Browsing through eastern exchanges one" gets a fairly good slant at one of our great local ad vantages, seldom considered by the city's people. It is that Omaha has a plentiful, nay an inex haustible supply of good water. We are not urged as are the residents of Philadelphia, for example, to go easy on the water because the supply is short Such warnings are common all over the east Scanty rainfall has left the natural reservoirs short, and the public must stint itself on baths, and all other comforts which flow from the faucet or the hose until the drouth is broken. Not so in Omaha. Whatever else may be said of the Missouri river, it hits not yet shown any signs of going dry. From the heart of the Rockies, where the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin rise and flow to that junction which forms the Missouri, comes a steady stream from melting snow and ice. Then the great Yellowstone empties its flood into the Missouri and it debouches onto the Dakota plain a mighty stream. No need to enumerate the many smaller rivers that feed the flood; it reaches Omaha on the way to the ocean a never-failing, ever bountiful source of pure clear water. That is, it is pure and clear after it has undergone the necessary course of sprouts which takes out the mud, kills off the bacilli, and dolls it up generally. The main point is, that however much may be pumped out for domestic use and some rec ords are being made these hot days the perspir ing taxpayer need not dread a notice, such as was served in Denver lately, that the use of water will be restricted until the emergency is passed. It surely is a privilege to have all the water you want when you want it, even for beverage purposes. Safety Valves of Instinct. The fighting instinct that was loosed by war must find an outlet even in times of peace. It is noticeable that veterans' associations in various states have been leaders in a movement to le galize boxing matches. The championship battle in Jersey City gave opportunity not only to the two principals for the, satisfaction of their ag gressive (and acquisitive, too), nature, but gave free play to certain elemental emotions in all who witnessed the contest or read about it. Those who criticize the wide public interest in combats of the prize ring forget that the hu man nature of today is many thousands of years old. Social conventions, with their emphasis on mental qualities to the disparagement of the purely physical, are something very : recent as compared to the life history of man. The hold of the fighting instinct on man is frequently pointed out by militarists as proving that war can never be done away with. - : , In the routine of, ordinary life repression of the pugnacious impulse replaces the free expres sion of it that is seen in war and in the primitive struggle for survival. Instead of the physical give-and-take, life now is marked by competition no less keen, but on a mental plane. This, how ever, does not afford exercise or altogether satis fy the craving to demonstrate bodily skill and strength. To compete merely at making money, or love, or in ostentation does not suffice this hangover of our savage days. In ancient Greece and Rome, athletic contests filled a place as one means of satisfying this prim itive desire. The same powers of attack and de fense, the same unreasoning courage and the same frantic exertion that was typical of the battlefield was summoned for the arena. Sports gave vent to the same emotions and instincts that war did; in fact, were a substitute for war. These athletic rivalries took the place of war because the pugnacious instinct persisted even in the absence of wars; inpulses find expression in various ways, and will not down. A parallel exists in the case of an electric current, which, going along the line of least resistance, when this is blocked, runs through the next available out let. Even when individuals themselves do not ex ercise this fighting characteristic, they satisfy their elemental emotions vicariously as specta tors. The fight between Dempsey and Carpen-" tier was as good as a war. Brutal though it may have been, it did not fail to satisfy an important psychological necessity. None of the millions whose attention was centered on this match was killed. And yet their nervous systems went through the same processes, registered the same thrills, and experienced all the joys of battle. Sitting in comfortable ringside seats, standing before bulletin boards or reading the paper at home in the bosom of their family they shared in the fierceness of the conflict of the scapegoats of their intellects. To a considerable extent man has become" too intellectual to engage personally in physical com bat. In a better day, as man acquires larger. in terest in civic reform and cultural progress, en. gaging his pugnacious impulses against hostile conditions of life rather than against his fellow, championship bouts in the prize ring may cease to fulfill their present purpose. It is neither ad visable nor possible to suppress the . time-long human inclination to match strength against strength but its diversion into more noble and practical channels may well be contemplated as a certainty of the future.

A Story as Old as Humanity. From several sources lately have come the assertion that joy-riding in automobiles is in creasing "delinquency." Perhaps that is true to some extent. But yesterday it was alleged that the bicycle was the instrument through which Satan was luring young persons from the straight and narrow path. And the day before it was the side-bar buggy. So it can be traced back through every age of man. No matter what the vehicle, or where the occasion, so long as youth of opposite sex is brought into propin quity, the possibility exists. Maybe in the days before Noah, the gilded youth with the well trained pterodactyl or the docile pleisiosaurus was the subject of more or less caustic comment because of his wild ways, and the maidens of that day were warned not to go riding with him. Babylon and Ninevah, Tyre and Sidon, Athens and Rome, even Jerusalem, all repeat the tale. Whether it was a boat ride on the Nile, a sail on the Euphrates, or a drive around the city walls, the moralists ever found grist for their mill in the meeting of the boys and girls. Cleopatra and Antony, Ben Bur and the seduc tive Egyptian at the tent of Ilderim the Just, it has ever been the same. Hellespont's rushing tide did not avail to keep Leander from Hero's side, and convent walls nor the barred gates of the monastery were insufficient barriers to separate Heloise and Abelard. Whatever of sympathy or bias may exist one way or the other, it seems unfair to blame mod ern ways of life for what is admittedly a ten dency as old as humanity itself, The height of ingratitude is exemplified by the jury, which drank up all a bootlegger's supply and then found him guilty of possessing intoxi cating liquor. Carnegie almost accomplished his aim to die poor after giving away $360,000,000 he left only a paltry estate of $25,000,000. The fiscal year has ended, although some of us did very little fiscing.

The use of sweetened condensed milk has the advantage of conven ience. A can of sweetened con densed milk need not be kept on tee after it has been opened, although tt 3 wiao io Kf pn if in th r.V.nv it there is one. It enn be kept several days after having: been opened. In other words, the contents will not spoil in the ordinary time required to use thixt amount of milk. Tne disadvantages are several. The food elements are out of bal ance. There Is too much sugar for the amount of fat. protein and min eral salts. So far as we now know sweetened condensed milk is de ficient in that vltamine which nrp- vents scurvy. The babies fed on swttfnerf mk. densed milk are generally fat, chub by and have plenty of dimples. In the old time baby show they had a way of taking the prizes, for bedecked with lace and ribbons they were good to look at. But the phy sicians say they easily got bowel trouble, especially in hot weather, and when they did they crumpled up quickly. Babies fed on cow's milk have less resistance than those fed on human milk. Those fed on sweetened condensed milk have even less resistance. In spite of these dis advantages of sweetened condelised milk, Its convenience, esneclallv In homes where ice is not taken, causes it io De widely used. evaporated milk has the advan tage over sweetened condensed milk as It Is very much better balanced rrom the nutritional standpoint Therefore physicians advise . it in preference to the sweetened product Its disadvantage is that it does not keep well. When a can is opened it must be kept in the Icebox or used up quickly. The baby foods have a conslder- able following. In every community there are a number of mothers who advocate one rood, talk it among tneir mends because their babies thrived on it, ofttlmcs after having rauea to thrive on other foods. There is another group that talks up an other brand, a third group that talks up a third brand, and so on. All are honest, earnest women speaking out or tneir experiences. The various baby foods are con venient, they keep well, they do not require to be kept in the icebox, they do not go to pieces in any way rapid ly. A package kept anywhere near right can be emptied before the con tents spoil. These foods have had severaf scientific boosts In recent years. The scientific approval of milk powders reacts favorably on them. as most of them have milk powder as a base. The proof that milk can be dried without loss of vitamines has helped them, so has the proof that the anti-scurvy principle is kept intact when it has been dried. Some experiments made at the Uni versity of Illinois which proved the value of one of these foods have re acted to - the advantage of all of them. Finally, since so many of them contain malt ingredients, all the advocacy of malt soups and other malt preparations has helped them. The disadvantages of the baby foods are several. They are ex pensive. In using them we are- apt to try to make the baby fit the food and not the food fit the baby. In other words, they are inelastic. In some particulars they are not well balanced from the standpoint of nutritional elements. But the main objection is that they lead us farther away from the basic proper methods of feeding and that is mother's milk flowing directly from the teat into the baby's mouth, un handled and unfabrlcated. water. Of course, he needs milk and butter for their growth principles. Hives Is Hives. J. S. writes: "1. What are hives? 2. Is the eruption on the skin caused by the ejection through the pores of a germ, acid, or what? 3. Are al kalies, taken internally, helpful such as milk of magnesia? 4. What can be applied externally to relieve the itching and swelling? My di gestion seems perfect, am healthy, bowels in first class condition. 5. Would a change of climate, uch as Kngland to America, be a cause of hives?" REPLY. 1. An eruption due to the effect of certain substances on certain skin nerves. Another name for it is nettle rash. 2, 3, 5. No. 4. Soda water and other alkalies are of some service in giving relief. Preventive treatment starts with finding the cnuse and then avoiding it or mak ing the system immune to it. Deflation Turning In Farmers' Favor Give Child More Vegetables. Mrs. C. K. writes: "My little boy, who will be 3 years old in June, is troubled with constipation. He had the whooping cough during' the win ter, and since that time has not had a natural movement of the bowels. I have been giving him nn injection or a large dose of syrup of figs every day. Sometimes even that brings no results. He is large for his age and in good health. . His breakfast is usually an orange and some oat meal. What should I feed him and is there anything else I can do for him? He has been troubled this way oft and on, but not always for so long a time, all his life." REPLY. A child 3 years old should not have to take enemas or purgatives. To overcome constipation feed him bran bread, bran as a cereal, vege tables, and fruit. Onions are quite laxative He, should drink lots of She Likes Crater of Stage. Mrs. F. H. B. writes: "I am writ ing you regarding my 20 -months-old baby girl. A week ago today she walked downtown, about five blocks, and I carried her back. When we reached home she cried quite hard tabout 5 p. m.). About 7:30 she be gan to cry and finally screamed at the top of her voice for nearly 10 minutes, getting worse all the time, and she kept tearing at her chest with her hands. At the end of 10 or 15 minutes when she had quit crying she was quite pale and weak, t called in a doctor, but he could find nothing wrong, but he would not listen when I tried to tell him how she had acted. She has had throe spells since then Just like the first. She was breast-fed until she was 10 months old and then Borden's con densed milk seven months, and since then I have given her an egg and all the cereal she wants, such as oat meal, cream of wheat, rice, and puffed wheat for her breakfast. For dinner she has rice, bread and hot ter, and some potato. For supper boiled potato, gravy, bread and but ter, and sometimes a little cocoa. She weighs 25 pounds and lias 16 1 teeth. Is iust cutting her eye teeth. I Her stomach teeth are beginning to swell up as if they would be through before long. She has one good bowel movement a day and sometimes two. Her urine smells very strong." REPLY. I can see nothing in those spells except temper. She tried . it first whn she was very tired and there fore irritable. Having worked it successfully, she likes the center of the stage which it brings and she repeats. The treatment is discipline, control, training. Feed her as you do now in the main. She should have at least a pint of milk a day. She needs more spinach, greens, car rots and vegetables of that kind. About Birthmarks. E. L. S. writes: "When I had been pregnant for about three months I fainted and bumped my head enough to leave a slight bruise. Would this account for the mark, on my baby's head? It is in exactly the same place as the bruise was on myself. Different people have told me it is a berry or bunch of grapes and to rub the juice of grapes or different berries on it and it will go away. Is there anything to that?" REPLY. No to both your questions. Better Bo Examined. F. K. writes: "I. What are some of the causes besides consumption for spitting blood? 2. Could the wearing of tight fitting collars or collar buttons which press against the windpipe bring this about? 3. Am always spitting blood after coughing, but do not cough up blood from the lungs. My generalhealth is good and I am gaining w-elght" REPLY. . 1. Among the causes are bleeding from the throat and nose, varicose veins in the air passages, vicarious menstruation, scurvy and purpura. 2. No. 3. Be certain as to your diagnosis. In consumption the blood does not always appear to be coughed up. ftfllIMM THE TIRE AND limm ?l RADIATOR HAN 320Se,l3tr.Sfc.

The economic axiom that all trade, In the last analysis, Is an exchange of commodities is receiving ample demonstration in the present plight or me rarmcrs. The past 12 to 15 months have witnessed sweeping price aecnnes in every direction, but nowhere has deflation been so Urns- tie as for the products of the soil. Just how the farmer has borne the brunt of deflation is vividly shown by the latest index number or wholesale prices compiled by the bureau of labor statistics. This dis closes that farm products are only 15 per cent above the levels of 1913. On the other hand clothing is 86 per cent higher; fuel and lighting, 99 per cent, metals, SS per cent: build ing materlnls. 103 per cent; house furnishings, 174 per cent, and miscel laneous articles, 64 per cent. All commodities are 54 per cent higher than In 1913. This means that ror what the farmer has to sell he is getting pre war prices or a trifle more, but for what he buys he must pay from 38 t 174 per cent moro than 1913 prices, if he purchases at wholesale. Hut while the farmer sells at whole sale, the bulk of his buying Is done at retail, which makes the score still greater against him. The result Is being reflected by mail order houses, implement, stove and automobile companies, and in fact all industries. Since tho rural population comprises one-half of the total of the country, it constitutes the greatest single con suming group. Inevitably anything which affects the ability of this class to buy will be reflected in all rami fications of business. Fortunately rifts are appearing in the clouds and this Is a good omen for all trade. Business leaders rec ognize that one of the pressing necessities of the moment is the res toration of a parity in allies be tween manufactured products and the agricultural industry. As soon as transportation and wage costs will permit, lower steel and other indus trial commodity prices aro probable. The trend of all manufactured goods Is downward. In the meantime the recent rise of wheat indicates that the common level Is to be found by some appreciation In values of farm products as well as further declines in prices of manufactured goods. Recently events have tended to smooth away some of the wrinkles from the brow of the farmer. In the winter he was deeply pessimis tic But the spring sun and the warm rains are causing the new crops to CENTER SHOTS. 1 If Georges Carpentier whips Jack Dempsey the American Legion may Insist that he be given the congres sional modal, the thanks of congress and a fourth-class postofflee.
