77; DARKEST THREAT. American worn on are proving Increasingly coriulr.t fay Mr. Vorufmntz. who has some famo fn 7-.v York aj ft fashion expert and who."e livelihood I -j" 1 ?a upon hli knowledge of the American woman. The manufacturers of woman's clothing", the drf which arj mail hy wholo?ale, have discovered that 43 out of every 100 orntn In this country fjme under their clarification cf "stout," which Is tho trade nam for fat. Ten years ago the number was 20' out of each hundred, from which the prophets who reduce life general terms may nrguo that in another half entury all women will come under that general term. The InqLlrlrr statisticians who. business Is at stake In thlj matfr of pxaunds, believe that the troid la due to lack of exercise and the fact that women. In changing from hörne to business, are gradually drifting into Jobs thnt require lesa rhyrloal effort than yrn.n needed In the times when she aroM nt 3aybreak to cook an early breakfast for & Large family, spent tho morning hours In sweeping her home and then mado the family garments whilo rhe "rested" In the afternoons. The shift from domesticity to commercial pursulta V accredited with the changing form of womankind. Any "woman who may bo terrified by these prophetic flgtire.i as to tho final contours of her own lignre will find hope in the statement of doctors and Folentlsts that weight Is a matter of glands, especially the endocrine glands, and that weight will, in the near future be regulated at will. Tho floctors, learning tho effect of. these hitherto Mttla understood organs of the human body, will ocn bo able to regulate their action. "Wcmen who want to "bo thin can find a recipe in a tottla and thoso who wish to be fleshier will acquire, th secret In some form of electric stimulator. In the meantime and until the doctors perfect heir kno"WTed of Jurt what makes somo people thin and others different, those who find a threat Jn the avrafo avoirdupois of the American woman, can dodgo by following1 soma very simple recipes n regard to exercise and diet. Poafftbly a nation of heavy weight women would not be bo disastrous after all, for good nature has ever been associated In the common mind with ir.cre-ased poundage, o
THE JINKED SHIP. A steamer rank nar Seattle last week. It was the lost and final castastrophe In a hard luck career that had lasted for tho eight years of Its existence. During1 that time, about everything: that can happen to a boat, in the way of misfortune, came to fhls ship. It ran asrround frequently. Its boilers wero always leaking:. It waa lewe once or twice and was often upon the rocka. The pallors, reputed to be more j-uperstlttous than men in oth?r nvoctttions of life, firmly believed that all these accidents and misfortunes sprang from the fact that the ship waa christened by a left handed woman. They .r quite certain that none of these thlnss would have happened, had the builders of the boat aelectcd a woman who used her right hand to break the bottle cf wine across Its bow on the day it slipped into the waves, Instead of one who happened to have better control of her left. To them the thougrht does not come that closer Inspection and better workmanship on the boilers might havo prevented the leakage. To them there Is nothinsr In the susrestion that the men in command of her were probably negligent in permitting it to get upon the shoals and rocks. The left handed woman who took part in a ceremony that had r.o effect upon the shape, tfzo or build of the hlp la aJcn responsible. Men who live upon the land know that these tailor men are simply fcclih, superstitious persons, who do not ue their brains and who make a pamblo of life. Of course, it might bo just as well t- wait until Saturday to Ft art that Job of work that fho Id be done on Friday. And that little extra effort that it akc.s to walk around instead of unde- p ladder id north while. Th ra miht be bad luck, you know. And that extra match which might be needed for the third cigarette is not worth much nr.d every one knows that "three from one" courts fome kind of :::;r-f :-rir.. Tlv real menace of superstitions which cling to human affairs and direct miry men and women In tl.t'.r acts is in the danger that lives will be control'.rd by signs and portents instead of being" made i:s-ful by locking facts In tho face and finding out real caus cf disaster. Queer, though, about that ship, wasn't it? Terthese fool thipbullders should have found a r:cht hard:d woman for the christen ir . after all.
MEM CAX AGREE.
T ,r:lal r.s i r'.vtn tb.e public t'.at the mines cf the nation will again start to furnish fuel for ir.'li: ry and for domestic uTi.e strikers and the owners have agreed to a car. tract cf v, a,?s nr.d condition? under which the pull.c is to U ?ered.

: c.re charge will be pa.,, ed along in .cm for.n to tne public. The fact that it 1 po.e?ibI to aeve- in Auus,. J complete evid-nce that an sgreemcu might h'.c Leen reached in April. The fact that the mines can again open under nmlcable agreement Is conclusive proof that they should never have been cloerd. Instead of the ghtfr rir.i; bayonets of colliers in a half dozen rtates, instead of the bitter hatreds and violences which have followed th disagreement of these quarreling factory of industry, instead of the tremendous tax upon the public, there shouid havo been steady employment and steady operation of tlae mir.ea. The very fact of settlement shows that reason ran prevail in industry and that it can be run on a basis of sanity Instead cf through conflict of power. Men who can agree should not be permitted to disagree when the results of their quarrela press most heavily upon those who depend upon them for service. In our prefnt form of Industrial organization, there are certain basic industries upon which others depend. Fuel s one of these. Transportation Is another. Without tho effective operation of these industries, .'11 other work stops and the comfort and health and lives of tue public ere menaced. The very fact that those who are engaged in thso industries, and especially tho co.al industry, threatened tho entire nation in disaster indicts them as being unfaithful to their trust or incapable of understanding that in America the common good is the hlrhest law of the land. Under the term3 of their rrcsent agreement, workers and operators propose to investigate all the facts of their own industry. That in Itself Is a confession. But even though it be a belated admission of failure. It has in it something of promise. Before they start upon their probe of their own busJness and their own labor, the coal industry, which includes both labor and owner, should be told that their stewardship is on probation ani" that one more repetition of this summer's madness vrill result in taking control out of their hands and placing It under the direction of those moat vitally affected.
AN EGYPTIAN VIEW. The police chief of one of the great cities resigns his Job and returns to hS old profession because, he fays, decent people do not want law enforced. Of course, he comments, they want every one else to obey the law but they desire to be, themselves, above the law. They are eager for the arrest of the vagrant bootlegger, but they resent any suggestion that their private cellars ehould not be restocked from mysterious sources. They believe that the fellow with the flivver should be mado to obey the traiHc laws, but their time Is important and the police should be wiao enough to recognize the difference when their limousines get Into forbidden areas. They were especially stronr-, pays the police chief, these friends who applauded his appointment as a clean-up man, on the theory that they should be above the annoyances on traffic regulation. And so this one man who tried his best to treat the law as no discriminator of persons, who did his very best to enforce It impartially and fully, throws ur his hand at the hypocrisy of his backers and reIns. Meredith Townsend, in his book on "Asia and Europe" reports the "strange" view of the rich Egyptian who failed to welcome the coming of "British law. lie wa3 asked if it were not better to know that courts would give exact Justice between all men and if his land was not better off under a system of courts wherein the lowest and the highest had confidence in Judges and In law. That, explained the Egyptian, was exactly the rouble. A system of courts that gave no privileges to tho rich and the powerful removed all incentive far men to truggle to get rich and become powerful. What was the uße of getting ahead if the lowly and the humble and the poor were no more regarded by the law than the rich? How far have wo travelled In this country' towards the Eijyptlan view, or rather the view of the rich Egyptian? How far do the conservative, law-abiding resectable portion of the community consider themselves the rightful possessor of special prlvilige and Immunity? One police chief quit because he found his efforts to control the safety of a city blocked by this attitude. Thlti Is the evidence to date. o TOWN DRUNKARDS. Have you noticed the passing of that famous character known as the Town Drunkard? He is nearly extinct. Twenty years ago, and even less, no community was completo without a Town Drunkard. If he were married, his wife usually had to take in washing. If single .he slept in the tanyard, back of the grain elevator or in any other convenient and rentfree locality that goes to make up the typical village. In tho cities, the Town Drunkard' residence and means of support always were somewhat of a mystery, though he passed many a night in Jail. There were all kinds of Town Drunkards, from vagrants to worthless sons of respectable and hardworking families. Whether rich or poor. In village or city, thy were all tarred with the fame stick. Their thirst wns characteristic and mutual. When the Town Drunkard couldn't bum the price of a drink, he sometimes resorted to draining the few remaining drops from the empty bottle behind the villago tavern or the depot where they awaited shipment back to the brewers and distillers. All Town Drunkard", whether or not they were like the father of Huckleberry Finn, always had ome woman eating her heart out with worry. How many people, now scheming like bucketshop plungers to get a drink, recall the heartaches and misery in tho home where some male members had "developed the appetite" that was "getting the best cf him"? The outlaw. John Barleycorn, has become almost an heroic figure. Teople seem to be forgetting his monstrous side. Prohibition has Its defects. There i much drinking in some homes "among some people who never thought of It before the country went dry." In the main, though, the ration Is basicall"' .against alcohol. A referendum would tfnd a good many wets, at the last minute, changing their minds and voting dry. Dlght wines and beer may be returning maybe not. but "the hard stuff" is gone for good. In all the talk about "modifying the Volstead act." the most interesting feature Is that practically r.o one is plugging, for a return of the saloon. And the Town Drunkards who have reformed by necessity are the driet of the dry's, in a good many cafts except where they couldn't .stand the change and the undertaker had to pour them back into the jug.
The Tower of Babel

Instead he has been sentenced to CO day.s f'i. the penal farm. The sentence will start immediately after hi3 dollar defying sale Thur?day. Coming events cart their shadows ifforvhand. Yeterdiy we heard Dr. Jim McMeel whistling as he left hi3 ohlce In the Farmers Trut building. We knew at once that the footNail feason was about to open. Now that the coal strike is settled wo think It would be a bully idea if Myron Harmon over to the Y. M. C. A. radio station would invent some method by which he. could broadcast freight.
Goldie Mann advices us confidentially that the live cent eijrar Is back to stay. Sure, Goldie, and we noticed after smoking one that the rest had improved it strength.

Women hold a unque position In Dahomey, a French colony in West Africa, lyinsr north of the Gulf of Guinea. They compose the greater part of the armj', and ithe kin? depends upon them to protect the kingdom. Famed for his cruelty, the Kin? of Dahomey is said to sacrifice many human lives each year in order that the palace may be properly decorated with skulls. Nevertheless, he is kind to the women of his army. He delights in showing them high favor, and in supplying them with picturesque costumes. They are not attractive young women seeking" excitement, as might bo supposed, but are old women who are far from pretty even when judged by Muvage standards of beauty They are the bravest of the king's soldiers. Indeed, the Kin? of Dahomey has little confidence in the men of the tribe when trouble arises. The king calls his women lighters "Amazons" and they are always ready to answer his every cemmand. Each regiment ha. its different cwtume. Some regiments wcor white capf. each with a blue alll'gator painted upon it. The caps of other -regiments are 'distinguished by blue crosses.

the women soldiers wears trousers, large and baggy at the knees, like the men of Dahomey wecr, and box coats. When visitors call upon the king he takes pride in paradinr his Amazons before ahem. They run in ranks about the field, fire their guns into the air and march np to salute the king. The officers in command carry 1-irge whips which they use freely upon the women in showing their authority. An Amazon holds her superior officer in deep regard and would not think of disobeying the slightest command. Many and severe are the battle in which the Amazons have taken part, and these veteron women soldiers always meet the enemy unflinchingly. They seldom loco a battle. The men of the surrounding tribes seem to fear them. There Dahomey soldiers have the distinction of being the only army composed entirely of women in the world.
