Woman Can Equal Men in Strength Despite Athletic Power, Masculine Stamina Is Overrated. BY GRETTA PALMER. Time* Six-cial Writer NEW YORK. March 13.—“ Statistics on file at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minn., show that man is the weaker sex,” said a paper, out of a clear sky. “Many will take exrrption to this statement.’’ Dr. Alien said. "They will say that football players, track ath-

letes, wrestlers and those who excel in feats of endurance are almost uniformly males. But physical prowess is but the outward habiliment of physical superio rit y. A quality much better reflected is ability to withstand disease.” And a much handier quality to possess, we would add. For

what good does superiority at pole vaulting do you j if it is accomplished by a susceptibility to pneumonia? The arch-feminists have always i had a hard time trying to explain j away athletic records in their efforts j to prove that woman is in every way i man’s equal You simply can not: get away from the fact that the 1 women champions at golf and ten- j nis have never beaten the ranking ! men. You can not escape the in- j controvertible evidence at the stop! watch that men do run faster than i we ever shall. But this form of I strength is balanced by weakness of another order. There are more widows than widowers. Mortality among boy infants is higher than among girls. The mvth of woman’s physical frailty is therefore neatly knocked into a cocked hat. We have different sorts of strength, we men and women, but neither can claim all the honors. Some Remain Silent Nice men nowadays do not talk much about their alleged superiority ,of muscle or of mind, but it is fair- j ly evident, from their doings, that j they do not greatly fear any compettition from us in either sports or business. Their manifest disappointment when the babies come to bless their homes turn out to be girls is one give-away. Their willingness to give a woman all the breaks in the little niceties of social life is another—and very nice it is to them, too. “Just” is an adjective which, in its belittling sense, seems to the average man to naturally precede “a woman.” And In intellectual achievement, too they can point to their records to clinch matters. They can, with entire justice, say that of the ten best painters and the ten best writers and the ten best musicians of the past not one was a woman. They can point out that science is largely the product of the masculine mind and that our cities have been planned and built by men. And so they are, naturally, a little reluctant to grant our claim to equality—in their own minds, of course, if they are polite. Overlook Outstanding Fact , The fact that women never were given a chance to achieve excellence in the arts until very recently men are inclined to overlook, except when the matter is pointed out to them. The tact that women are just beginning to grope toward some distinctive method of self-expression they largely disregard. For that, after all. is the way they have been taught to think from earliest childhood, and we can hardly blame them for doing so. But it is just as well for s, as women, to face the fact that the men who draft our laws and the men who employ us and the men who marry us are motivated, in all their dealings with us, with an inescapable sense of the superiority of the male. And it will take some doing to rob them of it. too!

A Woman's Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A PERFECTLY natural phenomenon that always excites me is the sight of a woman doing a mans work and yet remaining feminine. Feature writers forever are calling our attention to the wonder of it. Tremendous emphasis is placed upon the fact that careers do not prevent their owners from a fondness for making cakes or dusting behind the piano. Just as if, by putting a cat into a cage, you could turn him into a canary! A woman who spends her time in an office with men doing the same work they do would, it seems to me, be rather more feminine than in other surroundings. That is she would cling more tenaciously to those traits which set her apart from her companions. She would be almost sure to feel conscious of her differences and therefore to accentuate those differences in her thinking and in her approach to her job. And so another bogey is laid. They die hard, but one by one they go. It was universally phophesied, you remember, that the minute women began working and competing with men they would become amorphous beings, quite devoid of softness and allure and wholly lacking in the gentler arts. Yet what do we find today? Offices, shops, stores, factories in which feminine influence is diffused and felt. Girls reign there, girls who keep their hair marcelled, their nails highly polished, their lips rouged and who dress in all the frills compatible with the performance of their jobs. Besides that a woman is really Mrs. Artman to Speak Mrs. Harry Downing. 2622 North Gale street, will be hostess Thursday night for a meeting of Valencia chapter. International Travel-Study Club. Inc.

Daily Recipe MARINATED STEAK WITH STUFFED MUSHROOMS Round steak cut I\ £ to 2 inches thick 1-2 pound large mushrooms 1 teaspoon prepared musta rd 4 teaspoons chili sauce 4 tablespoons lemon juice 3 teaspoons melted butter 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon grated onion 14. teaspoon paprika Salt and pepper Brush steak with mustard. Make a sauce of the last seven ingredients and marinate the steak in it for two hours. Break the stems from the mushrooms and stuff the caps with a well-seasoned bread dressing. Chop the stems. Remove steak from sauce, brown it on both sides in a hot frying-pan. Also brown the mushrooms. Mix the sauce with one cup hot water, pour it over the steak, and add the mushroom stems. Cover and cook slowly about forty-five minutes or until steak is tender. Serve off a hot platter, grouping the mushrooms around the steak.

never so feminine as when she is dressed in trousers. Even the show producers know that. You can’t take away from a girl the fine deep flavor of her feminity and when she is surrounded by men it is only the more evident. Contrary to expectation, therefore, business has not been injured by such influence. More beauty, good manners, gentleness, consideration and fair play has been brought into the industrial world since women entered it than during any other period of history. Instead of toughening women, as was feared, it looks as if women are feminizing business, a change that will greatly improve it.

Whose Fault?

Children who are Always Catching Cold

A boy or girl may be warmly clad, dry shod, and ever so careful, yet catch one cold after another. Do you know what’s to blame? Low vitality. A sluggish system makes any child an easy victim for colds. The youngster whose bow els haven’t moved for two days will contract a cold quicker than the one who has forgotten his rubbers. A powerful cathartic that opens the child’s

very pores is just as bad. The proper treatment is described on the right:

Here’s the plan many mothers use to protect their children from a cold all through the cold season. Instead of waiting for biliousness to strike, they ward it off in this way: Every few days, they give the child a spoonful of plain California Syrup of Figs. No violent purge! No laxative of adult strength! Just this natural, fruity syrup containing

senna. Use the genuine California Syrup of Figs, sold everywhere; bottle should say California.
