PETTICOAT RULE
HAS OLD-TIME DIGGER LOST HIS PUNCH? MODEL, BUT INDEPENDENT. Perth, Saturday. There has been a change of demeanour among returned soldiers of late, the Rev, Schroeder thinks. Spealcing to the Returned Soldiers' League, he said the Australian soldier had eai*ned a reputation for fearlessness, but since his return there appeared to be evidence that the women of Australia had asserted themselves, and the old-time Digger was no more. Mr. W. J. Stagg, ex-secrtary of the R.S.L., laughed last night when he heard this "good story," as he called it. ' 'S"The good padre," he said, "seems to have been deceived by the good old Digger." "Because the £old-timer' has turnecl out to be a quiet model husband, it doesn't mean that the women are ruling him. "Rest assured that the Digger will have his way — in the long run! Age has not dimmed the vigour of the men of the A.I.F." Col. A. W. Hyman denied the padra's suggestion, and added that the Digger still maintained his individuality, his strong personality, and his loyalty.
