MARION COUNTY ,DRIVE BEGUN FOR ARMENIAN FUND 2,000 Starving Children De pend on Success of 200 Workers Here. Theoretically 2,000 Armenian orphans will have anxious eyes on. Indianapolis this week while 200 near east relief workers, an army of solicitors composed of the most prominent men and women of the city, seek to raise Marion county’s quota. The Armenian relief campaign to con tinue throughout the week opened this afternoon after a luncheon at the Y. W. C. A., attended by officers of the near east relief and members of teams which are to place the appeal of $5 a month for each orphan for one year, before the public. At the luncheon addresses were delivered by Edgar H. Evans, city chair man, and *J. M. Davis, Marion county director. Stress was laid on the urgency of the appeal. Material help Is promised in raising the funds by the Shriners and Elks. Each day at noon the chairman will hear reports at the Y. W. C. A. An appeal is to be flashed from the ‘‘Silent Orator’’ on the Merchants Heat and Light building, Washington and Meridian street. Graphic pictures of distress in Armenia will be featured at campaign headquar ters, Pennsylvania and Market streets. The local Armenian colony will aid in the campaign under leadership of Seraph Aghjian, rug dealer at 210 North Merid ian street. Twenty Armenians, who met Sunday, adopted wrathful resolutions against Europe and the American con gress, and raised a fund of $1,300 to aid their struggling army in its defense against th Turk. A letter addressed to .Tohn H. Holliday, chairman of the In diana committee of Near East relief, thanked the organization for its efforts and contained the indignant views of the meeting. The letter declared that the “official nations of Europe are again get ting on the fence watching each other that one might not have a little better strategical position In western Asia than the other.” “Onr congress,” said the letter. “Is still dissecting and analyzing every phase and every word of the peace treaty and league of nations for fear it might contain an ’a’ where ‘an’ might flt better, all at the sacrifice of small nations, especially where the arch enemy, the Turk, has vowed openly to exterminate the Armen ians.” The letter to Mr. Holliday announced that $1,300 is to be forwarded to the Armenian republic to help carry on a war against the Turks “until Armenia gets her liberty of gets her death." Z. A. Y’eram was chairman of the meeting. A. Antreasian acted as secretary. Seraph Ashjian will be custodian of the fund. WOMEN TO WOO , SAYS SCIENTIST Things Are Changing About , Psychologist Declares. LONDON, Feb. 23.—Woman as the wooer, using methods that will shock present false standards in the British isles, is foreseen as a logical, evolutionary development by Dr. Alfred T. Schofield, prominent London physician and psychologist. "Once the British woman's economic position is assured." Dr. Schofield de clared. "she will probably select her mate in a way that would today be considered positively indecent, but. seeing she is the mother of the resulting race, it seems only right that she should do so.” Dr. Schofield had in mind the prevail ing double-standard of morality, ac cepted generally like tea drinking or any other custom, which gives the man un usual liberties. This has long prevailed -because of the million or more "surplus" women, and because women have been kept down economically and in an edu cational sense. CONDITIONS NOW RAPIDLY CHANGING. But conditions are rapidly changing. Dr. Schofield points out. The woman of fifty years ago, with her anaemic figure and narrow waist line, has evolved, owing to changing standards In social life and in industry, into a type approximating men physicially. Emancipation of women from Victorian customs nd Invention of machinery, eliminating man-muscle, has acted as a great leveller of the sexes. "Setting aside exception,” said Dr. Schofield, “nothing is more marvelous and delightful than the quiet, decent, self tespectlng dignity of the modern, latch key woman, living in her own rooms in London.” DIFFERENCES GIVEN BETWEEN SEXES. Among differences still to be noted be tween British men and women. Dr. Scho field emphasizes the following: 1. Englishmen are more scrupulous as to means (playing the game) and women as to ends. 2. MeD possess intuition and instinct, but do not trust it or use it as much as women, although the results are often more correct. 3. Woman’s false financial position has affected her psychology, making her re tain many of the characteristics peculiar to the servile state. Comparing the modern with the Vic torian woman, Dr. Schofield said: "The gentle submission and downcast eye may not be easy to find among women nowadays, but they are replaced by the candid and clear look of emanci pation and the upright figure of the free born.” Which recalls that in a recent lawsuit ♦he legal opinion was expressed that a wife is a quasi-chattel and does no* have the rights equal to those of a husband. Steel Finds Fault With Newer Art The lack of “vibrancy of tone” in the "new art” display of paintings in the little gallery at the water color exhibi tion in the John Herron institute Is re garded as anarchistic in art by T. ('. Steele, leading Indinna artist, who gave au informal gallery talk on the exhibit Sunday afternoon. Mr. Steele called attention to the vi brancy of tone in the more important i pictures on display and dwelt upon this qaulity as a mark of art. Among the pictures considered to b* the best examples of the vibrancy of tone by Mr. Steele were William Kitsch- I el’s "Hauling the Boats, Katiwyk”; Colin Campbell Cooper’s “The State Capitol. ! Harrisburg, Pa.”; Blrge Harrison’s 'Hauling Firewood,” John E. Costigan’s two small figure compositions, Anna Fisher’s “Gold Lace” and J. Scott Wil- !
