WHY WIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND HUSBANDS HOMELY.
Why wives are usually more
beautful I,hail husbands, how it
comes that women are beardless,
in what respects women far sur
pass men. and the reasons for
the development of the chin in
man from the rudimentary chin
in his forebear, the ape—these
and other ipieslions of a related
nature were discussed at the re
cent meeting of the Mritish As
sociation for the Advancement of
Sciende. It is all vcr> entertain
ing, hut not a hit romantic.
Women are more beautiful
than men. we are told, because
men in earlier times used brute
force to possess themselves ot
the most attractive women. So
cial relationship then rested up
on brute force. I'lle strong man
was able to possess himself ot
the woman he desired as against
the weak man. wlm might have
been more beautiful, il the word
beautiful may ever properly be
applied to man.
One of I he • distinguished
speakers Hally declared that wo
men in the selection ot partners
have few aesthetic instincts and
no sense of the beaut ilul. A
homely man has just as good a
chance as any other to obtain a
beautiful wife.
It. is often a mallei' ol wonder
that very attractive women have
such hopelessly homely hus- ,
bands. If Ihe scientists are right,
it is because man looks for beau
ty in women while women admire
strength in men. rather Ilian
handsomeness. In Ihe long ago
women were Ihe objects of many
a light, and even today we some
times hear of young fellows en
gaged in list ieiiII s over a girl.
The lirsl lighter, presumably, was
considered by Ihe prehistoric wo
men Ihe Inst protector.
\\'e li ml in I lie accoii ill s o I I lie
Hrilish Association for the Ad
vancenienl of Science some dil
ferenees of opinion on Ihe ques
tion of whether a woman lias any
sense of tin' b an I i f i i I in man.
At least one speaker gave woman
credit for Ihe development of
mans chin. The ape-woman
preferred the ape-man who had
more chin and by a process of se_
lection the chin was encouraged
and developed. The speaker
seems to have assumed that wo
man had a chin lirsl, for he said
that with the develop.n’t of the
chin in man Ihe power of artic
ulate speech arose. Of course,
woman was a big talker before
man knew much about speech.
And awful lo contemplate, wo
men of Ihe long ago had beards.
The professors were agreed on
this. Util early man liked women
will out beards best and Ihe se
lection of such women for mates
gradually eliminated hair from
woman's face.
Tin* sc icnl Isis all irmcd dial the
jnen were much superior lo wo
men in slrenglh, lull did not have
a corresponding mental suporinr
ily. Women excelled in detecting
differences through I he touch or
other senses. (Jenerally women
were just about twice as acute
along these lines.
Jl has been a long-slanding
puzzle as to why women, who
have a highly developed sense of
beauty for dres's, for natural
scenery, for music and for liter
ature, should nevertheless be
come enraptured over the home
liest men in town. Thanks to the
British scientists, we have an ex
planation. ^rhe women have in
herited from Iheir prehistoric
forebears an admiration for phy
sical strength—for the power
that, guards and protects—Kx.
POLITICS AND PUBLIC SERVICE
Politics is a word less fre
quently used in America than it
once was; now we speak more of
the public service.
We need the new phrase.
Politics had assumed a selfish
and sinister meaning, it meant
narrowness, pulls and pettifog
ging, and a whole lot of things
not in harmony with (he larger
public aspirations of the Amer
ican people.
It means a game, always to be
played at the expense of the peo
ple, and for the benefit of schem
ing and often u'scrupulmis place
hunters. The very word was cor-«
rupted, and the beauty of ilsoty
mology was soiled, by (lie low
praetces for wlieh it lias stood
in our life as a nation.
Polilics ceased to be regard
ed as a science. The word did
not suggest economics, or gov
ernment, or abstract political
theories, or sociology; it meant a
hunt and a scramble for office;
election frauds; politics and per
sonal dishonesties and public,
plunder.
So we have begun to speck of
public service.
The phrase Ills our purposes
heller than tin* word politics.
We are routing out the elements
of narrow and bickering party
ism in our cities and stales. We
are demanding efficiency and
economy in all branches of pub
lic service.
Instead of men who will do
tilings to us, we are demanding
men who will do things for us.
Instead of polities, which has
meant personal and parly ser
vice. we demand public service.
The word polilcs may came
hack into use and favor; it is not
a word of had lineage; hut if we
return lo I tie old habit of speak
ing and writing much of politics,
if will lie because the word at
length stands for elVicienl, hon
est and economical service.—Kx.
