SCIENTIFIC BUNK
Dr. R. Hoffstattev, a noted Vienna
gynecologist and scientist, now breaks
into prijit with the announcement that
smoking excessively causes women to
have heavy beards, the features be
come sharper, the lower lip projects,
and feminine beauty and pulchritude
is generally shot to the demnition
bowows. Not being a scientist, and
not wise in the ways of women who
ismoke, the Gateway is not backing up
this eminent authority, none what
ever. The woman who smokes may
lose her beauty, but so does a ham.
And who can say a ham has outlived
its usefulness.
Dr. Hoffstatter also says that the
eyes of a woman who smokes undergo
a change, the lids rising much more
slowly and having a tendency to stare.
Which is so much bunk. A majority
of our readers can bear us out in the
assertions that many women who
smoke can use their eye lids veiy
rapidly, shutting either eye in a man
ner to cause the average old stiff to
have palpitation or some other dis
ease not treated by specialists of the
Hoffstatter type.
When one thinks back that smok
ing started only a few hundred years
ago, and that women in those days
had beards, one is inclined to lose
faith in scientific statements to the
contrary. The time may come when
the cigarette is mightier than the
rolling pin, but women will live, make
love and die without the hii'sute
adornment attributed to My Lady
Nicotine.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Time flies. It is hard to realize
that it is only fifteen years since Jack
Minns sent out from the sinking ship
“Republic” the famous “C.Q.D.,” which
saved many lives and made the mod
est young wireless operator an inter
national hero. Three years after the
Republic disaster the S. O. S. of the
ill-fated steamship “Titanic” shocked
the world. Four years ago radio was
a two million dollar business. Today
radio is a three hundred and fifty
million dollar industry.
The value of the radio business is
nearly twice as great as that of the
carpet and rug business. For every
dolar spent on furniture 33 cents is
spent on radio. For every dollar spent
on boots and shoes 25 cents is spent
on radio. For every dollar spent on
musical instruments—pianos, organs,
band and orchestra, phonographs and
even the lowly harmonica—75 cents
is spent on radio. The value of the
radio business is three fourths of
the jewelry business with its clocks,
watches, and novelties. Radio is not
a fad but a utility. It has found its
place in the sun.
JOHN W. DAVIS, democratic nom
inee for the presidency, is an honest
man. We know he is honest because
he himself has said it, and when he
is not saying the bugle-like tones
of wflliam Jennings Brayan hurl it
forth to the world ami a bored press.
The Republicans should be ashamed
to father the accusations made by
Bryan, Davis, Lafollette and Wheeler,
et al. When a party is so meticulous
ly dishonest that a campaign slogan
is made of it, it is time for it to join
its opponents and become poor but
virtuous. With the late war fresh in
the minds of the people, with its cost
plus system of honesty paraded daily
by its possessors, anything that
smacks of honesty is absolutely dis
tasteful. Any campaign but honesty
would carry a party farther and it
would not have to retract so much if
its candidate is elected.
‘
And once again we arise to remark
that we do not vouch for the accur
acy of this family journal further
than to reproduce news as its is given
to us. A Biblican character once re
marked that all men are liars, and
another prophet clinches his remark
with the assertion that there is no
thing new under the sun. If you
read it in The Gateway it may be so,
and it may not. Even our metropoli
tan dailies are in error as frequently
as they are right, so why worry and
get wrinkles. Take it as it comes
and sift the truth for yourself.
Why not place a tax on campaign
piffle. If this were done many poli
ticians including sainted W. J., who
is not a descendant of a monkey,
would be forced out of business.
