WOMEN, HENS AND INTELLECT
Dorothy Dix Explains Why the Gentler Sex Tries to Be Silly
A great deal of surprise is ex3*ressed
Bt the foolish attitude and conversa
tion of women, and the fact that so
many of them seem to possess the
weak and hysterical intellect of a hen.
The question is often attked: ."Why
Is thts?"
The real and truly answer Is ''Man.
Women act silly .because thai is the
way that men prefer them to ac<."
In reality there'are few wonieai as
great fools as they appear to b(* In
proof of this note that they have
sized up man and know that it iB line
rlothes, and automobiles, and theater
tickets, and soft ItYijng, to appear to
have nothirus on tliefr minds but their
latest batch of false hair. Wherefore
they conceaJ their gray matter, and
net up to the masculine ideal of fem
inine idiocy\that men admire.
It n»iy surprise m«n to k>arn that
one of the «chief axioms of conduct
that a careflU mother inculcates into
her daughter 1 is that if she has brains
she must; hidie them from men care
fully as *slie; would a hump on her
hack, and that the test of a woman's
cleverness' coinsists in not letting men
find out hpwj clever she is.
It is only after a woman is so old
that she has abandoned hope of mas
culine adir.tiration that she dares to
throw off her disguise and appear
before metl as a rational intelligent
human berfwg capable of thinking a
few thoughts of her own.
Of court* men will deny that they
prefer stup id women to bright women.
They may even go so far as to de
clare thaA they prefer intellectual wo
men, but a majt's liking for the so
ciety of a. clever woman is like his
taste for <\avlar.
As a mere matter of history, men
have jtjwavs discouraged intelligence
in wonren. It has taken a light of

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 27, 1914,
I centuries for women to even Ret a :
right to obtain a good education. Men
i have not only thrown every possible
i obstacle in the way of women de
veloping whatever minds God had ,
■ given them, but they have made the
woman who took an interest in serious ,
pursuits, and who indulged in serious ,
discussions of serious topics, ridlcu-1
lous by poking fun at her.
Such women were called "blue j
| stockings," and held up as warnings!
jof what mail most abhorred In wo- |
1 mankind. Such a woman was shunned j
by men as if she had been a pariah, i
II No matter how pretty and attractive,!
■jshe was. nor what her family position!
jshe had no beaux, no attention,
no opportuntty to marry. It was
actually a greater blight upon a girl j
to accuse her o't being strong minded ,
than for her to be the heroine of a j
scandal.
What wonder, then, that women
have cultivated idiocy instead of in- (
tetligence, -seeing that the sillier a
woman was, the bigger prize she got?
What wonder that women have con
cerned themselves only with foolish,
frivolous subjects, seeing that it was
only when they chattered like chll- i
dren that men would listen to them? i
And this is still true. Men, as a <
sex. don't want women to be clever. :
they don't admire clever women, and
they won't have anything to do with
a clever woman if they can help it.
Every girl who takes a college educa
tion knows that thereby she is ab
solutely relinquishing all chances of ,
ever being a belle and diminishing ;
her chances of marrying by half.
A hostess who has a girl visitor
would no more think of saying to the
young men that she invited to the
girl that "Maude is so intelligent. She
took an A. M. at Vassar and a Ph. D.
at Girt on." than she would say, "You
must come to see Maude because she
has cross eyes."
She said now that wild horses
couldn't drag tlie average young man
to call on a girl who was likely to
| talk of him about some political or
sociological topic instead of the
j latest musical comedy, or what per
fectly grand soutle they had at some
| fashionable restaurant.
This masculine prejudice against
i brains in a woman's head extends
even in to the marriage relationship
j where, heaven knows, there is need
of real intelligence if anywhere on
.earth. Yet while a man respects his
wife for being able to keep up her end
of the line, and administer her house
hold affairs with judgment, there isn't
a married woman who is not perfect
ly aware that the times when her his
band really loves her the best are
those in which she acts like an utter
and complete goose.
One of the most brilliant men I
know, in speaking of a very brilliant
woman, said to me once:
"She is the cleverest woman I have
ever met, and one of the biggest and
the noblest —but not for me! The kind
of woman I like is the one who has
not about as much sense as a canary
bird and who has never heard of any
thing that happened farther off than
the next block."
That Is the general masculine ideal.
Here and there is an exception of
course; but the great majority of men
are so wedded to the feminine fool
theory that women find it expedient
to cultivate silliness instead of intelli
gence. and to appear far more idiotic
than the.y are.
For the feminine motto is: "We
strive to please."

Careless Helmsman
Led Turk to Fire on Boat
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C., Xov. 27.—The
Turkish commander of the forts at
Smyrna lays all responsibility for the
tiring upon the cruiser Tennessee's
launch "to the indifference of the i
helmsman of the launch," who, it is j
said, did not heed the warnings of the ;
presence of mines.
Secretary Bryan to-day issued a sup
plemental statement on the Tennessee
incident based upon the latest com
munication from the Turkish Minister
of War to Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople.
"The War Minister's report," said
the statement, "states that he ascer
tained from the commander of Smyrna
that two blank shots of warning were
first fired and that the sentinel, after
waiting two minutes, was obliged to
tire the third shot in another direction
from that of the launch, wliich latter
'shot was merely to prevent tile helms-
J man of the launch from holding his
course, which would lead directly on to
the mines at the entrance of the port,
and to rescue him from a very certain
danger. The commander of Smyrna
| expresses very great regret that "such
an obligation was presented to the
■sentinel of the port, which he at
tributes to the indifference, of the
I helmsman of the launch."
I Secretary Bryan said this latest rc
j port closes the Incident.

EIUDY FINE WEATHER
ALONG FRONT STEPS
Hundreds of Folk Take After-
Dinner Promenade on
the River Wall
Stucker Brothers Construction Com
pany completed the last strip of side
walk along the "Front Steps of Har
risburg" in the southern section of the
city yesterday and hundreds of peo
ple thoroughly enjoyed the line weath
er in a promenade from the Market
street bridge southward. Hundreds
more watched the building of the new
piers for the big railroad bridge across
the Susquehanna river at Mulberry
street and walked along the wall to
Maclay street.
While much of the rough grading
of the parks and the river slope south
of Market street has been finished,
there is still a great deal to be done
and when the material from the Sec
ond street subway is available the
work will be rushed.
Much Grmling Yet to He l»onc
Along the Harris Park frontage be
tween Mulberry and Paxton streets,
the entire slope and space between the
base of the slope and the concrete wall
must be graded. There is also a con
siderable stretch south of the Reading
Railroad bridge which must be graded
and put in shape for planting. It is
necessary also to treat the roadway at
Paxton street leading from the river,
in some permament way to prevent
the unsightly conditions now existing.
The Market Street Wharf
Mention was made by the Telegraph
the other day of a plan being worked
out for a more attractive finish of the
wall and wharf at Market street.
Along the stretch of slope and the
space between the slope and the walk
Between the Mulberry and Market
street bridges considerable grading is
necessary, which will be done without
delay.
City Commissioner Taylor has a
small force now busy on the depressed
or sunken walk and the grading of the
slope south of Maclay.
COUNCILMEN HEAR
PROPERTY APPEALS
City Commissioners Put in Whole
Day as Board of Tax
Revision
City Council heard at first hand to
day the complaints of property own
ers who were not satisfied with the as
sessments for the coming year when
the commissioners organized and sat.
as the board of tax revision and ap
peals.
More than thirty appeals were filed,
chief of which were the objections
raised by the Pennsylvania and the
Cumberland Valley railroad relative
to the changes that have been made
in the Second ward incident to the
construction of the Front and Sec
ond street subways and the erection
of the proposed warehouses.
Until noon the commissioners sat in
the City clerk's office anil then visited
the aubway neighborhood to see per
sonally just what has been done
what is to be done, and
to determine how the changes will af
fect the city valuations. At 4 o'clock
the board met again to consider the
appeals.
Among those who were not satisfied
was a well-known Market street
building contractor who said that a
row of houses he lias just erected are
not yet finished and that the property
in question should therefore be given
the benefit of last year's assessment,
instead of the 1915 levy. William
Russ protested against the figure that
had been placed on the Russ building.
Strawberry and Market Square, as
compared with other nearby bank and
office buildings.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company declared that many of the
properties which had been taxed
should be exempt because these are
being razed to make way for the new
stations. These include two on South
Front, twenty-eight on Mulberry,
twenty-three on South Second, four on
South River and four on Mulberry and
three on South Third street that are
not yet torn down.

Fourth and Cadillac Fifth
The number thirteen put nothing in
the way of making yesterday's econ
omy run the most successful ever at
tempted by the Motor Club of Harrls
burg. Although but thirteen of the
twenty cars officially entered took part
in the run. other motor car owners,
tempted by the favorable roads and
ideal weather conditions, made the
trip over the same route.
The Hudson sixes again won the
honors this year, as it did last year to
Bellefonte and to York the year be
fore. The big six "fifty-four." driven
by F. O. Horttng. won first, and the
light six, driven by I. W. Dill, won
third prize, according to the revised
figures given out by the technical com
mittee this morning. The Huick six,
driven by George B. jck, won second
prize, and the change with reference
to third place puts the Haynes six
in fourth place and the Cadillac eight
cvlinder car in fifth place. Winner of
the first prize receives the trophy cuj,
donated by the Harrisburg Telegraph
and the first three will be awarded
official certificates by the Motor Club
committee. Although there was con
siderable delay in getting started, the
first car reached Harrisburg again at
1.33 in the afternoon, a distance of
Itl miles by way of Gettysburg and
York. As the percentages were based
on the amount of weight carried com
puted by the ciuantity of gasoline con
sumed, some interesting conclusions
may be drawn.
One of the largest cars, for instance,
wins first prize, while the smallest car,
a Metz roadster, uses the least amount
of gasoline on total number of miles.
The. latter car finished on schedule
