Jane Addams, older and a deeper thinker, is not certain that women are smarter than men.

You can't be sure about that. In her opinion, "men have had so much more opportunity than women to show their talent, and up to now men have produced the chief geniuses. The discussion is without meaning. Men have produced the geniuses, as the word is generally understood. No woman has been even tenth rate in art, literature, war, science or politics.

But that is nothing. Women have created all the geniuses. Archimedes, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Newton, Beethoven, the five greatest, were all made by women. The creator of genius is greater than the genius. Woman's work is internal: man's external.

Woman wanting to be what man is seems as silly as for a man to want to be a mother. There Is more real power, intellect and emotion in women than in men. but it does not show on the outside. France doesn't think Germany should have complete membership in the League of Nations. Germany threatens to start an independent league with Russia, Austria, Scandinavia and some others in it, possibly Kemal's belligerent Turkey.

Will Uncle Sam be urged to join the new League of Nations also as "financial angel?" And will mushy sentimentalists persuade the United States to Join "to preserve beautiful peace?" How. long before the two leagues would begin fighting each other? Ida Rubenstein. temperamental Russian actress, who wanted to be the first woman at the North Pole, is back from killing lions in Africa, and returns to her former dear friend, Gabriele d'Annunzio. From wild African liens with their shaggy manes to the completely bald d'An-nunzio is something of an anti-climax. D'Annunzio announced recently that he was going back to his first wife.

There is no knowing what genius will do to prove its originality. One famous individual actually Jumped into a volcano, that he might perish romantically. On Monday natives of Korea in America celebrated the seventh anniversary of Korean autonomy. Remembering how Koreans were massacred after recent Japanese earthquakes, you realize that autonomy doesn't do them much good, but they enjoyed- the birthday. One American assured them that Confussus was really a Korean.

Another told them, far more important, that Korean engineers in 21 B. changed the course of the Yellow River for a distance of $24 miles, a task as great as though the Mississippi River were diverted from St. Louis and turned into the Atlantic Ocean. Colonel William Boyce Thompson. r-y tr.e way, wno uvea pan ot me year in Arizona, says the surplus waters of the Mississippi per- fectly well be diverted to irrigate esiern ceserts, i.iua euujug ji.5!j- sippi nooas lorever.

Government wc.ild do that sort of work if it could get as much excited about the future welfare of the United States as it does about sending money to help Europeans in their fights. Woman, in her hours of ease, is uncertain, coy and hard to please, and sometimes extremely silly. Now she wants toymakers to stop making tin soldiers because they fill children's minds with war-like thoughts. Can you imagine that? Think of Eugene Field's little tin soldier making its owner want to go out and kiil somebody. Why not forbid selling little toy dogs to prevent children becoming dog fighjers?
