WOMAN INFERIOR
SINGE
So Says Professor Frederick
Starr of Chicago University.
MAN OF TODAY STAGNANT.
Noted Anthropologist Points Out That
No Member of Fair Sex Was Ever
Great Musician, Painter or Scientist.
Dr. Cornelia B. Debey, Prominent
Woman Physician, Makes Reply.
"Woman has been an Inferior crea-
are ever since the human race was
Joveloped, and she must always re-
aain so. The prusciiott of large nuui-
ers of woneu In occupations hitherto
aonopollaoC by man fa unnatural and
liaates racial decline or at least
racial stagnation. This is an unpro-
rcssive aye, and on this ground alone
ban be explained the relative success
of woman in competition with man."
That is .tho opinion just voiced by
Professor Frederick Starr, who holds
tie choir of anthropology in the uni
versity of- Chicago.
Continuing, tho educator said:
"The race is at a standstill. We are
I not making progress in really impor
tant fields. We nro Inventing automo
biles and aeroplanes, it is true, and
ire worshipers of machinery and sys
tem.
"But that does not count for tho
110 advancement of civilization. Han
lis stagnant. The male lias dropped
out of tho struggle nnd until ho enters
I It again we shall make no serious advance.
Unequal by Nature.
"Woman by nature is unequal to
aan in tbo development of those quall-
les which make for human progress.
I She never has distinguished herself by
Important discoveries in any line of
science.
"As compared with man there never
tvas a great woman painter, sculptor.
auslclan, architect or scientist. She
lias never invented anything of benefit
fco tho race.
"Tho elements of sex superiority
hvere fixed back in the vegetable klng-
lom, and sho cannot overcome them.
3ho is conspicuous in affairs now only
because sho is playing an inevitable
part in a great race experiment in
vhlch tho activities of man have been
temporarily abridged.
"As soon as man resumes his nor-
aal stride woman will drop back Im
mediately to tho natural position of in
feriority which tho female has held
through all the centuries that life h.Ts
Existed in the earth."
Evolution Slow But Sure.
Dr. Cornelia B. Do boy, a noted wo-
Irian physician, upon being told of the
professor's sentiments said:
"In a general way ho is correct, but
In one great particular ho is wrong.
iVonian is evolving slowly and when
hho is of full stature sho will bo ready
tor larger action.
"Man to data lias had abundant evi-
llence of his own superiority, x tho
fcreat issues oil life, the human issues
the problems f existence nnd adjust
ment, tho sp'lrltaial problems will bo
fcolved by wom&n. Tho male still be
longs to tho crust of things.
"Tho great, litrgo, 'eternal womnnly,'
lis Goethe callu It, la the human species
that will solvo tho great differences of
Uumanlty. The very slowness of wom
an's evolution gives promise of larger
rulflllrnents. This gentleman has mis
lead the sclrotlllc evidence. He has
taken tho srjvr.rflclal and left thji pro
found.
"After all, the woman Is the mother
of tho balMi wd a baby is a greater
Eioem than Bhakespearo ever wrote, a
greater creative evidence than man
l.'ver demonstrated."

ALL AUTO DRIVERS MUST ILYVE
JJCEXSE; OWNERS EXCEPTED.
A new license law which will affect
practically every automobile driver
in the state is now in effect. In tho
future all persons who drivo a car in
any capacity must have a driver's
license, except the owners of cars,
who can drivo on the car license.
In tho past owners of cars drove
their autos on the car license and
many of their family and employes
also drove tho car on the license for
the car. The regular chauffeur had
to have a special driver's license,
numbered and worn on the arm, in
badge form. The number is regis
tered in the state highway depart
ment with the name of the same.
The new law makes It necessary
for chauffeurs, custodians and men
In the employ of the owner of the
car to have a license, which will bo
Issued after January 1, 1914, at a
rate of $3 per year and until the first
of next year for $2 per year. Mem
bers of the family of the owner of the
car can get a license free of charge,
but must have It and make regular
application for the license. '
The law also provides that no li
cense will be Issued to any person
who Is not sixteen years of age, do
ing away with the special privilege
extended to some under sixteen In
the n.iRt. Tho ncrents fnr nnra In
former days have secured a license'
tor their car or cars and clerks and
others employed about the sales room
or garage, as well as demonstrators,
have run the autos on the owner's
license. These will have to pay in
the future.
BRITISH MINER'S FEATS
OF MEMORY WONDERFUL
His Strange Faculty Compared With
Performances of the Pact.
A Northumberland (England) quarry
miner, George Harbottle by name, has
been the subject of many tests lately,
and he has been proved to bo In pos
session of a memory which, retains an
Indelible Impression of everything he
hears or reads.
Ho can repeat half a dozen pages of
a book without the omission or mis
placing of u single word after he has
once heard or read them. He is also
able to repeat long lists of words back
ward or forward after they have been
read out to lilm. For a wager recently
he read once through a whule pam
phlet of street soncs. a task that occu
pied twenty minutes, and then repeat
ed tho whole from beginning to end
without a mistake.
Ills gift, though now regarded as
wonderful, would have Ikh)H legarded
as an ordinary accomplishment In old
en times, wlien men were accustomed
to train and exerclso tlielr powens and
gifts of memory. This was particular
ly tho case with the priests of the dif
ferent religious systems, as in tho ma
jority of Instances tho contents of tho
sacred books were not permitted to bo
committed In writing.
Thus the Vedas, the Talmud and oth
er sacred writings were preserved
mainly by committing tliem to mem
ory. Apart from these, however, there
are many authenticated cases on rec
ord of people In all classes and posi
tions kings, statesmen, soldiers, art
ists nnd otliers who had remarkably
trained natural powers of memory.
"Justus Llpslus, a Flemish writer of
groat celebrity in his time (tho elev
enth century), knew by heart the whole
of Tacitus. About tho same time a
French poet of tho name of Nicholas
Bourbon astonished the Parisians by
reciting accurately tlie French history
of Chancelller do Thou and the eulo
gies of Piolo Glovlo," says tho Stand
ard. "Avicenna, the famous Arabian
physician who lived in tho eleventh
century, could repeat word for word
tho wliolo of Aristotle's 'Metaphysics'
and also know in common with many
Moslems tho whole of tho Koran by
heart
"George Vegan do Arrezo knew by
heart toe after lino tho whole of Ver
gil's 'Aeneld,' which ho had learned
when nt school. Klopstock, tho cele
brated German epic poet, is said also
to havo known the whole of Homer's
'Iliad,' which ho had memorized in
his school days.
"Before the days of shorthand writ
ing Memory Woodfall used to attend
tho lus of commons and after listen
ing to a debate could reproduce the
wholo without taking a single note, a
power also possessed by William Rad
cliffc, tho husband of Mrs. RadclIlTe,
tlie novelist.
