Battle of the Sexes TN an issue featuring its 50th anniversary the Cosmopolitan masrazine publishes an article by Dorothy Thompson, wife of Sinclair Lewis, novelist, . . . ; petently marshals tne men ana women, eacn in cnucism . the other in this modern era. She does a thorough job of it, in reviewinor.what the last half century has done for women; or should it be phrased what half century? . First Miss Thompson tabulates the charges which she says men make against the modern woman: ' "Women run tills country and men havenl a chance. "Women no longer care about baring husbands and babies, and It isn't worth while, any more, to work for women, because men aren't appreciated. "Women are taking away men's Jobs. "Whereas most men want to work for some women, most women work for themselves. "Women prefer to hare their own Incomes, their own apart ments. and take 'lore' here they may, rather than be dependent on one man and. stick to him. "Women arc to blame for the crime jr are, for flaming youth, for the collapse of private and public morals and private and public manners. "Women want to have their cake and eat it. to be protected and free., to be provided for and independent. "They say that they are lonely." After delivering that blast she prepares woman's re joinder to the indictment: 'That it is harder and harder for a woman to get a job in competition with men. even if she is equallyor better equipped. - "That men resent women intensely ln executive positions. "That men are increasingly unwilling to accept the sole fi nancial responsibility for a wife and family. "That no woman can count nowadays on her husband. As likely as not be will run off with an 18-year-old cutie and leave her stranded and alone in middle age. "Their husbands do not share business cares with them, and they make fun of their 'cultural' activities. "They blame men for flaming youth, for the crime wave, for the collapse of private and public morals and private and public manners. "They say men don't know now to make love and don't un derstand women. "They say that they are lonely." The mythical debate is typical of the contention which often prevails in individual cases between a man and a wom an; but the closing line of each tabulation reveals the core of the truth : Both men and women are lonely, and crave the society and affection of the other. So it comes about that each sex is unhappy without the other, whether to make love to or to scrap with, sometimes it s hard to say. Twilight of Collective Security rnHE fcuroDean Dowers are I conference is contemplated will be represented, to work out some new pact, al though Russia pointedly questions the good faith of Ger many in any pact, r ranee imposes two conditions: one, a protest by the league council Locarno: two, Germany s submission of objection to the Franco-Soviet pact to the world Germany is to withdraw troops The countries are driven by and dread war. Feeling unable war or to impose their will on riod of time, the nations rely to effect their purposes. Probably a fatal blow has Iective security as embodied in strength of this idea was impaired badly when Japan got away with conquest of Manchuria. It was shattered again when the unified action of the down. jNow Germany has tweaked the nose of France, the bul wark of the league; and Britain holds back against invoking discipline on Germany. It will call for complete reorganiza tion to brine collective security into any significance n world affairs. As the New York Herald-Tribune says : "After Manchukuo, after Ethiopia, after Germany's earlier violations of Versailles, the theory of a Europe ruled by 'collect ive action' enforcing an abstract body of treaty law sinrply will not longer stand. What Hitler has done is to destroy the last shreds of a legal fiction and announce that Europe is actually ruled by a working balance of political and military force in which the treaties are only as valid as the realities behind them. One of those realities today is a rearmed Germany, once more a great power. The treaties of Versailles and Locarno, like the Pacific treaties or the commitments which prohibited the Ital ian assault on Ethiopia, referred to a state of affairs which has passed away. Since the treaties were not adequate to preserve the status which they enshrined, they must give way now that this ; status has altered. The forces must now be rebalanced, the building blocks put together in a new way. No one can say that a slip or a miscalcu lation In this delicate process will not touch off the next world war, and even if that is avoided during the coming weeks few ran hope for much long-term stability in the resulting struc ture. But the Rhineland occupation is scarcely in itself a suffi cient cause of war. and there Is no nation at the moment likely to precipitate a catastrophe which only utter desperation would dare to risk." Schedule on Corporate Taxes REPRESENTATIVE SAM HILL of Waterville, Washing Jfl ton is chairman of the in the house which is handling the revenue legislation. He is the real working head of the committee and is gener ally esteemed as a conservative, popular m his district that republicans join with democrats in returning him to congress. He is of altogether different cast from Knute Hill and Zioncheck and the other Wash ington firebrands in congress. This sub-committee has taken the president's proposals for taxing corporate surpluses and worked it over into rather a practicable measure. They have sought td protect reserves of corporations within very reasonable limits, and still to provide additional funds and to meet the evil of tax avoid ance by wealthy individuals through the corporation surplus device. - While the terms of the bill have not been settled this is the schedule now being considered, showing the tax on the amount of surplus retained and how much that amounts to of the total net income: Effective Rate of P.

KENT CaaTright IMS. by Tkt galtuoore isa Tugwell on Taxes Washington. March IS. IT IS . Interesting to note that Professor Moley and Professor TagweU, who used to ran neck and neck: , lor first place in the Brain Trust team. and both of whom are still verr close ; to Mr. Rooseyelt, differ on the wisdom of the Pre id e n t most recent tax proposals. MR. MOLEY. tn pointed par rnak K. Kent agraphs, as serts that the plan of taxing the surpluses of corporations is un Tf durinz the depression he says, American industry had been stripped ot all surpluses, scores of the biggest corporations vnnM not have survived. It is his .. thai anrnluses are "the life In a ii ran PA nolicles of business firms" and it is not good to Im pair them. On the other hand. Professor Tugwell, while not mak ing any public statement at the moment, seems to have been for the plan long before Mr. Roose velt. In his book, "The Indus trial Decline." Mr. Waltman. In the Washington Post, points out he advocated as a means of con trolling capital the "driving or corporate surpluses Into the open investment market" by taxation In other words, it appears that though modeled, it is claimed, upon the Englishman, .the in spiration of the new tax proposal was supplied by Professor Tug well. WHOLLY aside from the baffling state in whicn me nauou is when two Euch great men amer, this fact Is significant in that it - manifestation that the Tug- well influence remains undimmed and undiminished so rar as u White House is concerned. It Is true that Mr. Tugwell has been a snining ursei mi r "V . ents of Mr. Rooseveu. ana mi he has been identified with the more grotesque and gauay or ue schemes for "Making America Over" on "planned economy lines. It is true, too. that since his famous Los Angeles speech, in which he appealed for a "work-er-farmer alliance." calling upon the "exploited people" to "surge forward" against "business greed" and "our enemies." New Deal i strategists have regarded him as a heavy political liability, urged that he be sidetracked or smoth ered until after the election. Re cently, Mr. David Lawrence com- nared extracts from tne lugwen speech with those of Mr. Rrowder. the Communist, Earl ho seemed much the less revolution ary ot the two. NEVERTHELESS, there is no question of the continued intimacy and personal closeness between Mr. Roosevelt and the professor. Any idea that the Tugwell star is sinking is absurd. So far as he ran Dr. Tnewell will go into Aoiinsa iinrfnr the campaign. He la as anxious to avoid being a tar ret as Administration politicians are tn keen him in the back ground. But they know and he knows, and every posted person In position to Judge knows, tnai in the event of Mr. Roosevelt's re election Dr. Tugwell will really come into his own. No longer will he be compelled to keep un der cover for fear of the political effect. with MR. Roosevelt reelected through a "worker-farmer alli ance the nrofessor will be in a nnsitlon tn "roll uo his sleeves" nri -Make America Over." At any rate, it is quite certain he will have fgood try at it, because the fact is Mr. RooseTelt has a great er intellectual congeniality with Dr. Tirirwell in matters of broad policy than with anyone else with whom he Is associated. They have the same sort of "visions." He lovea the Tugwell ideas. He has been restrained from following them to the limit this time by rea sons of political expediency, by the weight of other advisers, Dy me Snnreme Court and by a great many practical and personal con siderations. But that aoes not mean he was not wholly sympath etic and approving. THOSE WHO know the relation ship between the two men are not surprised that the new tax plan should have come from Dr. Tug well. Dr. Tugwell, they believe, can "sen" the President an idea more easily and quickly than any otter man in the Administration. He is "half sold" when the pro fessor begins. TheRuTal Rehabil itation Administration, which Dr. Tugwell no.w directs and for which $27r.000,000 was allocated out of relief funds, is a sample that was Just one ot the Tugwell ideas. He has a great many 'more, equll !y economical and sound, but be Is saving them tor the hoped for happy day when, all restrictions off, he can be giyen real scope for the remodeling of the American system along modern eollectivist lines.

By R. J. Rank foolishness about 3-19-31 treatment in prisons, the . parole board and other things: : A'very silly set ot arguments: The Sunday Oregonlan of March 8th contained, titled "Prison for Punishment," a communication of Will J. Idleman. 104 N. E. 22nd avenue, Portland, reading: S j "To thci Editor: The wave of crime that is flooding our state could be greatly reduced if not en tirely sui pressed if the proper course were- pursued. The sooner. the public realizes that a prison is neither, a college nor a place of reformation, but a place of punishment, the sooner will crime begin to decline. Tbe culprit Is not sent to prison to be reformed,' but to be punished, and the more serere th punishment the more effective the remedy. "There is no such thing as re forming a criminal. Never has been done and never will be. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in the effort, but not a criminal nas been reformed. A criminal li of no good to himself nor to anyone else. He is only a .menace to society, and the soon er he is removed the better to all concerned. Our statute should de mand the death penalty for the third felony. "The penitentiary at Salem as at present conducted is a serious Joke. Intesad , of being a prison where its convicts are punished, it Is a place where the state's guests are entertained. The con victs there hare their ball games, their morle picture shows, their turkey dinners, are furnished to bacco, and have better food, bet ter beds and more of the com forts and luxuries of life than two thirds of them enjoy when out of prison, and the dear people pay the bills. "Working the convicts Is a mis taken Idea. It brings convict labor in competition with honest out side labor, and every dollar's worth of products manufactured in the pen costs the state $2. while it gives the convicts the opportun ity to form conspiracies, riots and o murder guards and officers and often to escape from prison. "If each and every convict were put in solitary confinement with nothing to read except the Bible, permitted no visitors, his bread and water shoved through a hole In the door twice a day by an at tendant, the army of guards could be dispensed with, a million dol lars annually be saved in the con duct of the prison, and when a convict is released from the pris on he will go to some other state to commit his next crime.

I pointed out that adequate hours of sleep are essential to proper growth and de velopment. Tbe Importance of de veloping good sleeping habits during childhood was urged upon the par ents. We all arree that sleep Is essential to health and happiness. But unfor tunately. It is often difficult to obtain enough sleep. This failure la usually due to a nervous disorder ef soma sort That variety of sleeplessness is commonly spoken of as "insomnia'. There are various type:, of insom nia. Some are mild and temporary In their nature, but tbe persistent form of Insomnia is decidedly an noying. It may be due to some phy sical or mental disorder. Often it can be traced to Incorrect eating habits, worry, fatigue and Irregular sleeping hours. Overeating, exces sive smoking and drinking are other causes. Avoid Faulty "Habits Many persons suffer from insom nia because they are victims of chronic digestive disturbances. Symptoms like dyspepsia, heart-burn and excetadve gas formation, are common cause of Insomnia. As a rule these complaints. In their turn, can be traced to hasty eating, "bolt ing" of food. Irregular eating hours, undue excitement and severe emo tional disturbances. The victim of insomnia should make every efort to improve bis general health and must avoid all faulty habits. Bear in mind that many who have a tendency to insom nia remain free from attacks as long as they pay attention to diet and avoid emotional excitement. The food should be simple and nu tritious. Avoid e zee sat ve quantities of meats, plea, candles, salt, pepper and spices. Omit aQ fried and greasy foods from tbe diet. Tarn evenlac meal should be a right one. A heavy starchy med often leads te digestive disturbance i and insomnia; Warm baths are soothing- and aid tn promoting rest and relaxation. They are especially beneficial when taken at night Just before retiring. Mild cases of Insomnia are often re lieved by this simple measure. Avoid ceil baths. They are stimu lating and best taken tn the morn ing before the day's work Is begun. As a matUr ef fact, it Is wlee te avoid extremely hot and extremely cold hatha.
