I Of the pleas made In all the courts In Uie United States only one in every! 190 Is made by a wo man. . . . i ' ' Of all the i newspaper editorials not more than one in thirty Is written by a woman. ; ' j j.i J , It is estimated that 95 per; cent of the successful inventions and of "opinion making ideas" still em anate from masculine minds.; j ( So,- according to Mrs. Oilman, the well known educator, we con tinue to live in' a man-made world. .'; ; - !-. ; :. ' On the other hand, 90 per cent of the education of our children is in feminine , care and in. , the whole country 11,000.000 women are earning their j living Inde pendent of masculine support. ; Man still appears to he the chief factor?

If weT screw ours, upj another notch we will be able to send a sheO into the, bowels of a ship at a dis tance of 35,000 yards. At the present j time if the ; navies were engaged; tbe British i would' have a material advantage In weight pf broadside up to 24.000 yards. From thence p to 30,00ft yarla the Aaierican naval battlers Would; have a shade the best of.It. Beyond 30.000 yards British su premcy on the target wotrld againrbe recorded. I These vagar ies militate against the peacef of the world. According to the naval strategists they furnish a stand ing tenifptatlon for Hiram Johnson "and Uncle Sam to declare wan oa !: fjfp n. view I r ance cerns do with t " I; 1 PRTn A V MORNING England: and, tight it out on the 28,000-yard Hne.; .We wpuld have the best of them there. Accord- ling to the plash chair experts, if any peajpies no ihcwuuci .mw In any tool or Implement of war it constitutes a menace to all other nations. The only way Is to make the fleets exactly alike and match ship to ship. If any. vessel should make a mistake and take a shot at one of another class she might be penalized by 'being taken out of the game, ft Is a pitys that this adjustment cannot be turned oyer to the League of Nations. It would seem that that tribunal could pro perly and successfully dispose of all it's angles. At present we do not know whether we. may justly raise our sights or not. Mean while we are raising a disturbance about it. ' Z : i THE 1 OF SUOAH From the findings of the special Commission on the Necessaries of Life it Is evident; that the' late progressive rises J& the price of sugar are uoC the result of a shortage in production, but have been artificially caused by specu lators who stampeded. the .public with alarmist rumors into buying for hoarding.t :: ' t. , i j To remedy this the commission advises the public to eurtail pur chases and to limit consumption fiil the speculators are forced to let loose - the. surplus they have kept off tbe market in the hope of sending the price still higher. The last move -is always. with the- consumer when the specula tors attempt to defeat; the law of supply and - demand. J-With, the falling off irirfemnd the inflated price mint tumble.' Then the ex tent of the supply is stripped of Its: disguise. " ; y 'An - exhaustive, surveji- of . -the whol'Bltnatlon was ; inhrfe; by ihe copiniissibn' "before issuing ' Its r ex port. Its conclnsions were:- Th'reCent riseii'ln the 1 . price ot sugar is not Justified by an increased cost of pro duction or. 5 refining The . world production of sugar In 1923 will" apparently be greater than In .1922. A Iargp crop of 'airgar is ex- - pected this year in Europe in , contrast to tbe mall crop of j last year. Therefore., more -Cuban sugar must find a market In the United States c this year. ; iMuch of the sn gar purchased in the last - three months, when the su- s gar-shortage propaganda was .being widely circulated. Is being held for . speculative purposes." I ?V Xrr' No attempt) on a large scale, to corner any of the necessities of life has ever '-succeeded.- It was tried years ago with wheat and copper and brought final disaster to the plotters.

In 19Z therejvas a tremendous accumu lation of sugar and when the iew crop came iii the "market broke and the island of Cuba faced gen eral bankruptcy. - ; Economic laws In the last anal ysis depend jnore on the Impulses of consumers than upon the ef forts of producers and sellers to control markets. There is no le gal statute to prohibit the manipu lation of ; human Impulses toward patronizing or refusing any partic ular foodstuff. That was done In the sugar price inflatio. But when theconsumer discovers that his human ImpulsosK have been played upon for. the? benefit of a few at the expense of many, a day of reckoning for the transgressor always follows the discovery. . Governor Pinchot' or iPennsyl vanla. has been given another slice of the estate of his uncle, the late Amos Eno. making almost $400. Q00 that he has sorfar re ceived from "that source.
