Declare Emotion Is
Handicap to Women
Why are null generally chosen for
responsible posts In preference to
women?
Ardent feminists have always
challenged masculine employers to
produce a satisfactory answer to this
fluestilot The only argument ad-
vaned hitherto is that women are
apparently more emotional than men
and th:tt therefore their Intellectual
as well as physical powers tire more
A series of tests carried out on
men und women students at Glas-
gow university by Mr R D Gilles-
pie a physiologist gives solentille
confirmation to this view The re-
sults show that the average rise in
the pulse rate of women Is nearly
37 per cent higher thaa that of men
doing the stline mental work under
simihir conditions
Why this is so has not yet been
determined but Mt Gillespie sug-
gests that an emotional factor inay
huve been the cause
The men and women students were
given vertical columns of four single-
digit figures to add up The figures
ye arranged on H moving tape and
the student had to call out the re-
sults of the mental arithtnetic to an
observer ‘vho noted them down Tnyt
duration of the ex peritaentS was from
five to fifteen minutes and they wpre
performed MI separate days with a
week's interval between each
t tidy Iwo of the thirteen girls testel
admitted having been excited emo-
tionally during the course of the test
The hest feminkt propaganda in
the face of these results would be
to conduct n imilar test on men
and women engaged in the stone kind
of mental work as a nouns of livelihood
Good Reasoning
A housewife had an unexpected
guest The only dessert the house
afforded was a pie But the hostes14
knew it HS a poor pie—one of her
bad luek pies To her surprise the
guest profusely praised that poor pie
few weeks later the same man was
again her guest This time she had a
good pie To her surprise he Fold not
'A'ord about her good pie Finally
she asked him "I don't understand
It The last thne you were here I had
it poor pie and you praised and
praised It Now I know I have a
good pie and you never said a word
about it Why k It?" The guest an-
swered rill tell you sister That
first pie needed praising"—The Out

California Sends Shad
Although the shad originally wss
an eastern fish and W118 Nrst trans-
planted to the Sacramento river of
California in 1871 In late years the
Sacramento shad has increased rap-
idly while his eastern cousin has
dwindled nearly to the point of extinc-
tion as a commercial product The
shad is a favorite fish in Washington
anti the annual Potomac shad bake is
one of the big events of the chamber
of commerce In reality however
tnost of th4 fish advertised tot Poto-
mac shad are from the Sacramento
