A MAN.3IADE WORLD
To those who either, rejoice or
lament- aa the case may t
over the supposed fact that this is
the woman's ae, that the male
f has been entirely superseded, we
commend a study of the following
figures given out by an eastern so
ciologist that bear on this debat
able subject: '
Of the thousands upon thous
ands of sermons preached In this
country last Sunday womea
preached not more than 170. 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? In molding public senti
ment. I'terhaps. howeVler', this lis
but another case where' the hands
are the hands of Esau, but the
voice is the voice of Jacob.;

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. " ;

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-

, contrast to tbe mall crop of

Economic laws In the last anal

of consumers than upon the ef
forts of producers and sellers to
control markets. There is no le

patronizing or refusing any partic

It appears, however, that the
Moslem agitation to recover tbe

proved stronger, than the feeling
of gratitude toward the French
for . their support in Asia Minor.
