This war, ns predicted by Professor Marshall Phillip", of London, will bo between tho sexes In nil the countries. KiirIIsIi men will line i'i nsnlnst Kn?llsh women; the field will he the Indl'strinl batllelound of the wor it. Dr. "Irron Pntton, professor of eco nomics nt the University nf Pennsylvania, sees In the chnitfrn thnt Is bound lo come th-nucli the employment of women In tradei formpily plied by men only, n re ndlitstinent r f a 'jc'iernl misplacement. "the hansfrait type of woman Is Brad- ua'ly rilini)Rilnr. and the wnr has been hurrying the process. The war Is lend- Juotini; life for Ihe ern what la nbout to rome.'V rnld tl professor today. "Ill the earliest period man was the , hunter nnd worrnii the agriculturist. The , nc'Jt step found woman lodged In her I home nnd the man nt his business. The 1 third period Is heir. Thnt Is nil this talk ' about sex war means. ; KIT FOIt NKV riKI.D. "I'ersounllv t find that woman have certain nuntltles thnl fit them for posl- I tlons hitherto monopol'sied by men. Two- thirds of the work In my omco Is ef ficiently done by women nnd when I came here no women were employed here. Take our trolley system. Any woman can Mil the position of conductor on the pay-as-jou-cnler car. A few years ago tho con ductor's lot was not nn asy one; today It Is. "From my own knowledge, ,1 say that If women bad something to do they would be happier. The modern woman, who need not do the actual work In her home. Is nn abnormal vvomnn. In nn abnormal position, she develops Into suspicious woman, Jealous of her husband, nnd In tlmo the home Is disrupted. "Of course, If tho woman has n large family she has much to do Hut the op pot Utilities for work opening up for the womnn who wnnts to do something have been enlnrgpd by the wnr. i "And most nf nil In the country where least cxpeoted. In Germany. The con trast between the broadening nf the field for women in Germany nnd Knglnnd is ns black Is to while. In Germany the Government hns opened the doors of nil Its industries to women; tho hausfrau Is ncccss'iry outside of the home In order that Germany may provo her self-sufficiency. "All trades nnd professions arc open to her. In Kngland n woman mny enter a trade when and where the trade union sees lit. She consequently Is filling the least coveted positions. "The reason for tills? In Germany tho workers nie massed Into Industrial unions, glmllnr to our Industrial Workers of the World. Thlj organization takes In nil woikers, regnrdlcss of se.x. The untons in ICnglnnd nre trades unions; each section of u trndo Is organized apart from every other. These unions object to hnv Ing women fill the places of the men who nre at tho front. Therefore they thrcntcn to strike If women nre employed In the shops. "In I-nglnud a womnn Is allowed to fill the positions the men don't want for themselves. And In Germany, the coun try where before tho wnr suffrage meet ings were held underground, the Govern ment has Invited them to come out from the .Kinder, Klrche nnd Kuche nnd help In tho struggle. A letter from n friend in Germany, of my own age, tells me that SO members of her family, her children nnd relatives, both men nnd women, lire fighting for tiie Fatherland. Old barriers hnvo been broken down In tho military caste. In tho unvcrslty class, as well as In the Industrial class." Doctor Patton Is opposed to the theory that overpopulation was one of tho causes of the European conflict. He believes that nt the root of this International war are race hatreds. He does not ngreo with the followers of Mnlthus that there nre too ninny people In the world, or rather, that thero were before tho war began. The world Is underpopulated, says Doctor Pat ton. "The world Is underpopulated today," he said. "In my own field the demand for teachers of economics exceeds the supply.

"The modern problem Is for the man to adjust himself in tho Industrial world, for wherever u womnn has proved herself more efllcicnt she will keep the Job. "I can enslly meet the objection thnt women are taking work nvvay from 'men by coming Into competition with them, That Is the old hausfrau Idea, which Is nowhere dying a harder death than In Germany. It Is obvious that the family accustomed to spend weekly the enrnlngs of the husband, say K0. makes a limited demand on fooj nnd mnterlals. The fam ily Income, let us buy. doubled by the woman, amounts to J 10 n week, and the weekly outlay Is close to that amount. This fnmlly will consume more under the new regime; more people will be em ployed to supply the Increased demand of this class. "The normal woman has come Into be ing; the abnormal woman the woman without employment, held by tears nnd lamentations within the boundaries of n house-Is dying out. The German effi ciency of using the best at Its command has led to the demand for woman to take her place In the position for which she Is fitted. "The rest of the world will, ns usual. I predict, follow her tootsteps of efficiency."

Antrim, Novelist and Epigram matist, Replies to tho Challenge Issued to Her Sex by Miss West THU challenge of woman to woman hns been Issued, When Miss West Bounded the toc.iln of criticism upon wnmnnhood by declaring the membSrw of her sex the greatest fnllurcg In tho world, she didn't realize that the storm of disapproval would be voiced .by so nhle an opponent nsr Mrs. Minna Thomas Antrim, tho well-known writer. And It Is not only the province of tho prominent woman to make her, protest felt. Tho Kdltor of tho Womnn's Pago hns received, anil wnnla :i tecelve, statements from "just homckeepcrs," who can tell their side of tuc womnn question Just ns nppcallngly. Hut today's nrtlcle rings true with '-'-.-pplrlt of progress, with tho firmly fixed and Unalterable conviction Hint womnn Is nnd rtlwnys will ho the mother of Invention, Unfairness In Miss West's method of attack Is also pointed out. To accuse n womnn of nn overwhelming love for dress Is ridiculous on tho face of It. It Is In the Miino category ns licensing tho peacock of being proud of hi natural rnlmcnt. Vanity H the most human of human attributes, as any one could he forced to admit. Mrs. Antrim takes her point ably nnd forcefully, and sho knows women. As nn epigrammatist, fiction writer nnd contributor to current ningnsdiies, her article Is- of special Interest. And we nre waiting for moro letters from "Just housewives." Dear M'llss Itebeccn West's pronouncement upon women ns the "World's Greatest Knlltire" Is n bomb, It has shattered nil preconceived estimates of her crltlcnl powers, The measure of her error Is the credulity of her readers. The 1 RJj34clJ!tltimIMto tsx&itssmiH MRS. MINNA T. ANTRIM BKMftraraaragm rxof flt 3C stmr-i la&jiHTiiElB is AN ' I --sonullty Is tho normal imiid of Poise nnd Power. Vanity Is the off spring of a lesser Ilk. Verily, there aro women who might have known chances might have, mark you who have feared the toilsome wny through timidity or indolence, or who havo been halted through fnmlly prejudices. Were they failures perforce? Not so! Dare I venture to say that. In mere mnrrlnge, such women have been suc cessful mothers, of Presidents, n few of them? And so, thrice jUHtlfled tholr earthly sojourn? To the greater glory of tho modern woman let It be said that she Is a many sided creature. She Is strong where man Is weak, nnd weak where mnn Is strong, hut when tho marble scroll shall bo complete, Womnn shall not he en rolled as God's Supreme Blunder. For Ho made her, he It recalled, especially to perfect creation. Thero Is not a city upon the globe thnt has not Its wonder-women. Though a Joyous singer may not possess a Melba voice. Is she n failure? Is nn actress a puny sham hecauso the genius of Sarah Hernhurdt has been denied her? Shall tho women who have, through lovo of work, done big things (nnd little things) toward the lasting good and Joy of man, throw nwny their pens, canvases and opportunities? Does genius answer only to the tumult of hysterlcat haru's? All who "do things" warm up to appreciation, but few stop because no glit tering halo seems to bo forthcoming. So keep right on, sisters mine, ne not afraid, Let your critic splash Ink nnd worry nights. Meanwhile, there Is but one ltebccca West, while thero nre, this very hour, throughout the four corners of the enrth, millions of successful women. Here Is nn anti-West slogan, "In the bright lexicon of modern womanhood there Is no such word ns fall." MRS. MINNA THOMAS ANTRIM., PLAN FOR INCREASING GASOLINE PRODUCT DOUBTED BY EXPERT F. Royal Hammett Bdlieves Experiments Reported by Dr. F. W. Rittman, of U. S. Bureau of Mines, Only in "Laboratory" Stage When F. Royal Hnmmeth, vice presi dent of Crew I.evlck Company, Land Title Building, was shown tho statements mado by Dr. Fred Rittman, of the United States Bureau of Mines, nt the American Institute of Chemical engineers In Balti more yesterday. In reference to the great waste of gasoline and Doctor Hlttinnn's proposed remedies, he smiled. Doctor Rittman proposes to Increase the present supply of gasoline through his discovery of the crncklng of petro leum and other hydoenrbons, but Mr. Ilnmmett says these experiments have never got beyond the laboratory stage, and that no operator hns as yet been persuaded to try Doctor Rlttman's meth ods on a commercial scale, Nevertheless, he thinks that there Is more than a possibility that Doctor mttman has got a good thing, As for the suggestion of I! W. Jordan, of the Semet-Solvay Company, who spoke of the substitution of benzol for gasoline In automobiles, Mr. Hammet said It was absurd, as benzol Is at present selling at TO cents a gallon, while gasollno is around 3) cents a gallon. INCREASE IN TIRE PHICES. "One of the causes of our Increase of the prices of tires recently," said F. A. Klsselt, manager of the Philadelphia branch of the Kelly-Sprlngfleld Tire Com pany, Is the enormous freight rates we haye to pay to bring our products, from South American countries. The high cost of Insuranco Is another Item; in fact, there are number of Items Avhlch con tributed to our decision to make the In crease. We acted Independently of any other company who manufacture tires, but I understand they are all contemplat ing something of the kind; but one Is waiting to see what the other fellow will do. The cost of the raw materials at their source had no Influence on our Increase In prices. Genuine para rubber is as cheap today ns It was a year ago, and the sup play seems unlimited. The only limitation Is the Inclination of the natives who gath er It to work or loaf. "We make a special line of goods, are In a class by ourselves and act Independ ently of other tire manufacturers." At the Lee Tire Company, whose plant Is located at Conshohocken, It wus euld that the difficulty of getting skilled laborers would affect the prices of tires in the near future. The demand for Sea Island cotton, which enters largely Into the fabric of tires, has created a shortage of these goods, and will no doubt affect the price. Since this plant has been taken over re cently by the Morgan Interests plans have been prepared to double the size of the plant. L,OGWOOD EMBARGO RAISED.

At the American Institute of Chemical Engineers held In Baltimore this week II, W. Jordan, of the Semet-Solvay Com . .iy, hi speaking on "The Development Of e Manufacture in the United States of Products Derived From Coal," stated that American manufacturers have been In position to produce as great a quantity and as good a quality of synthetic dyes as those procured from Europe for the last 15 years. SPAIN WANTS ELECTRIC PLANT There's nn opportunity for an electrlo manufacturing company to put In a bid for tho Installation of an electric plant at the nnval arsenal Cadiz, .Spain. There are B02 public service electric lighting plants and 125 electric power, plants In Spain. There are also sx elec tric lamp factories nnd four others de voted to general electric supplies, Japan Is rapidly becoming a competitor of the United States and Europe In the electric field, and the growth of this In dustry In Japan In the last 25 years ha? been phenomenal. Japan enjoys the advantage of an abun dant water power supply and cheap labor, and Is also a large producer of copper and silk both of which enter largely Into the manufacture of electric supplies, U still Imports switchboards and the finer instruments and meters, and Is as yet un acquainted with the export trade except In telephones. tjHwtvuuuiwnuvvnuMvvvuw Are You In Need of help of any sort?
