that Mrs. (iann would never have abandoned her prceMlcnee. if
the finest of honor had been the "I'rince of AVales ins-.tead of a
labor lender and Socialist.''
Yon don't say so! We would like to brand snel) Iwdderdash
as utterly mil rue, a yellow Sunday-Supplement yarn,' made out
of whole cloth.
lint frankly wo are not so sure. After several yi'ars of linijj
distance observation, we have come to the rcluctaim conclusion
Hint, when it conies to viilj;iir ostenlal ion and downright low
brow snobbery, nothing in the world can eipial the socially am
bitious woman, in the capital of this great liberty-loving Dem
ocracy. IK Thackeray were alive today, he would either throw his
Hook of Snobs in the waste basket, or rewrite it entirely.
For Thnckcry who was something of a snob himself con
fined himself almost entirely to the snobs of the masculine
gender.
We may he mistaken, but il is our well considered judg
ment. tlmt, relatively speaking, there are no real male snobs in
this country. If there are any, they are so sui'p;issed in both
numbers and emotional intensity by their "sisters, cousins and
aunts" that snobbery in this land of the free and home of the
bravo is almost exclusively a feminine problem.
AND perhaps there's a reason not entirely uncomplimentary
to (he ladies. At least we note that M. K. Thompson,
I'hl)., author of "The Springs of Human Action," maintains
that the fenials of the species is not only more deadly than the
male, but she is still the main defender of her young and id' the
home. The man is still the provider and the fighter far afield.
Instead of keeping wildcats, marauders, and too iniiisitive
Simians from the cave door, modern woman, running true, to
the ancestral type, keeps the socially undesirable from the front
entrance. 'Snobbery is, therefore a modern phase of the endless
struggle for existence, and the "will to power."
This limy or may not be scientifically sound, but it at least
sounds plausible. And it may explain the other phase of tin'
phenomenon, when the average man meets a snob, be smiles
and dismisses the subject with something like "tiood Lord,
the Silly Ass."
Hut when the average woman!
Well, let 's draw a curtain over the spectacle, but this much
may be said, without danger uf su -ssl'iil contradiction:
"SI IK DDKS NOT SMJId-I!"

injects this with a syringe if nec

dressing, of a teaspoonful of tinc
ture of iodine (now spelling iodin)
to a pint of sal I no solution. That
is a solution of, say, a table
spooikful of common salt In a
pint of water that has been boiled.
The hand Is kept quiet (with tho
proper splint, bandage or sling)
and another dressing of tho same
sort applied next day.
Dr. Moorhead says ho has no
irreat faith In germ killers ho
cause all of them are deficient In

the surface or superficial germs

Is their number, each In turn bring

made for some of these medicines
one might think the medical pro

of its large mercury content, and
in actual use he considers it vir
tually a "wound rouge."
This Dr. Moorhead one likes

"Let us not forgeti however, that
a first aid antiseptic Is of value

Bearing in juind the very par
ticular care and Immediate atten

first in his list of essentials In
minor wound treatment, you may
appreciate what I mean by "tin
doctoring," which is so much done
in commercial and industrial plants

prices to apply first aid In minor
injuries. If you're a victim of

Dr. .Moorhead declares that sun
light, open air and sea w.itrr (the
salt solution above suggested is
an attempt to imitate sea water)
are nature's cures and we should
avail ourselves of these ag''nci"s
when possible. If conditions per
mitted, he won bl prefer to leave
all wounds open to the air, and he
knows that face ami scalp wounds
