THE KANSAS CITY STAR. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1959. in Increasingly Roil Men By Hal Boyle. EW YORK, Nov. has been a rash of criticism about the hen-pecked U.

S. men lately, but nobody has been putting the U. S. woman under the microscope for flaws. Isn it about time somebody performed this neglected public service? There are certain traditional objections that are always voiced when the subject of what is wrong with women comes up.

They can be summarized: A woman talks endlessly but rarely says what she really really knows what she says, so how can a man ever understand her? A man can understand only things that make sense. In keeping appointments a woman always arrives by the calendar instead of the clock. A woman is supposed to have the right to change her mind, but actually never nobody can make her change it. A mind also never lets go the memory of a fancied every husband knows. A woman never knows the value of a sound dollar or a good man until both are gone from her.

There is no doubt that most of these moss-grown objections to women are still fairly valid, and probably always will be. But if you polled most American men I doubt these reasons would explain the fact there is a vast and growing grudge among many males against U. S. women. They are, after all, old sins of the fair sex, and man has had to put up with them throughout history.

What tends to annoy a man most today is that he is being made a sucker of in a new way by a new kind of woman. This is the woman who demands the status of a man while still insisting on all the ancient privileges accorded women by the etiquette of romantic chivalry. As an elderly gentleman observed a bit bitterly: woman goes into an office and takes a job away from him; then if they ride down in the same elevator, she expects him to take off his hat to her before he goes out to look for another Are U. S. women becoming racketeers in girdles when it comes to the field of ordinary courtesy? Do they take for granted the polite favors and small human kindnesses men still like to extend to them out of old habit? Many men think so.

Many men think women have lost their manners and charm of gentility and are more arrogant than appreciative for the little gestures of knighthood men still like to extend them. Maybe the country needs a national kick-a-woman- in-the-knee day to put the whole question of modern chivalry back on a sounder footing for all. 19 9 Society M1 RS.

They are wonderful, but the children look at them, gape, and go on to have a track he can learn to assemble himself, cars he must buckle together by hand, and cars he can fill himself. A train made of shoe boxes tied together gives him endless no scoldings if he breaks it. Most authorities on play feel that wind-up or electric trains are a waste of money before the age of 5 or 6.
