“THIRD SEX.”
MODERN GIRL’S EVOLUTION.
WOMAN’S BIG STRIKE. LONDON, Nov. 17.—Dr. Hastings Gilford, addressing the Royal Institute of Public Health, said that civilisation was one of the causes of cancer. They should get back to nature. Tho Australian, African and American aboriginals, despite brutal mismanagement at birth, and exposure to the sun, and the excessive use of alcohol and tobaceo, remained almost free from cancer. Modern man’s failure to exercise his digestive organs was responsible for many diseases. Modern conditions, he continued, had evolved a third sex, namely, the active, game-loving, short-haired girl, with narrow hips nnd wearing skirts like kilts. She was altogether a capable type, being smaller and lither, while her more ornamental figure had helped her to oust men from their occupations. Ho deplored, tho fact of women dreading childbirth more than a surgical operation. This women’s strike against reproduction was more disastrous than any men’s strike against production.
