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. Tho truth Is, that above a certain
level there are ten Jobs for the right man;
below this level, there aro ten men for
tho one Job. Of course. If a man spe
cializes in Sanskrit or Hlndustnnee. he
mny have some dlfllculty In plnclng him
self. READJUSTMENT COMING.
"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."

WOMAN NOT A FAILURE,
SAYS NOTED WRITER
Mrs. Minna T. 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

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."

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.

the situation In Canada as far us log
wood shipments nnd extracts can do so.
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

Products Derived From Coal," stated that
American manufacturers have been In

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.
