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.

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.
