READ, MANAGING EDITOR A SH LA N D D A IL Y T ID IN G S Q U T Giri Bank Robbers Girls seem, to be bent on denlonstrating that they can «fake good alt robbing banks. Possibly it is true, as the protagonii#» of feminism iwsiflt, that « girl can do anything that a hoy can do. Still the experience of the South Dakota girl tends to con firm the impression that there is something in the feminine tem} »crament which is a serions handicap to success in a bank robbing career. • The South Dakota girl went at the job in a methodical, business-like, bank-robbing manper. She first made an estimate of the situation and then adopted a plan «f action based on that estimate. She found that tools would be necessary and de cided to get them in a way that would not only pro duce the tools but would give her a little prelim inary experienoe. So she robbed a garage first. Arriving at the bank, she cut the telephone wires as afl good burglars do. Everything seemed to work out according to plan 'until she approached the final objective, that is, the money. The enemy in the form of the vault put up stubborn resistance. And she badn *t the in genuity to cope with this unexpected emergency. Never having robbed a bank we don’t knew just what a man would haw done under the same cir- cumstanoes. ‘ In general we think he would have called up reserves or beat an orderly retreat Not so this girl. She just went over and sat down on the stairs and cried. And there the night watoh- înun found her. it wasn’t the impregnability of the bank vault which proved her undoing. And it wasn’t the vigi lance of the night watchman. It was the eternal feminine. j To thjp girl -and to all dthers^of like mind we would wuggwrt that gold digging is much safer and much more suited to the feminine style. Tears are an asset in a -divorce oy breach o f promise su it In bank robbing they are a total loss. OUR WAV Illese Wdwneit Starting with a small coffee ¿hop 15 years ago Mrs. Alice Alacdougall now own» a chain of coffee «hops and tea rooms in New York. The lateet ad dition to lier chain required the signing of a million dollar lease and a trip to Spain to get ideas for de coration.

It is terrible—terrible on the humorist« wlro have kept going for agos on joke« based on the theory that a woman hasn't a butanes« hoad. In the presence of Mrs. Macdotigaff and scores more like her the gag about the woman who eonid not understand why «lie should l»e over drawn at the bank, when she hadn’t used half her checks, falls rather flat.

H A H fie y SCi«SOR A o o d rv *l ' J Language Advertising ciroulars for the new edition of Webster’s dictionary promise that the new words that have come into the language will be found with in it, words like rotogravure, vitamin, fascista, realtor, overhead, broadcast, that are in the ’lingo of the day, and that reflect the new interests in life. It is interesting to wtftch the English language grow, to realize that it is a living thing. And those who study it and use it most efficiently deny the libel that there is greater beauty in any other speech. They assert there is more power and vigor in Eng lish speech, more capacity for accurate expression, than in any other tongue. The English language is constantly changing, constantly taking on new forms, new meanings, and including new expressions; but it is also old. Just the other day an English philologist took delight in pointing to many terms in modern com mercial law that have come down to ws from the Arabs and Phoenicians. One of the examples he gave was the word “ bankrupt.” That is derived, he said, from the ancient custom of smashing the money-changer’s bench or table in full sight of the public when he liad defaulted.
