THE MODERN GIRL.
A CAPABLE TYPE. Dr. Hastings Gilford, addressing the Royal Institute of Public Health (London), 'said that civilisation was one of the causes of cancer. They should get back to nature. ! The Australian, African and American aboriginals, despife (brutal mismanagement at birth, 'exposure to the sun and the excessive use of alcohol and tobacco, 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, i game-loving, short-haired girl, with narrow hips and wearing skirts like kilts. She was altogether a capable type, being smaller and Hther, while her more ornamental figure had helped her to oust m'en from their occupations. He deplored the fact of women dreading childbirth even more than a surgical operation. This women's strike against reproduction Avas more disastrous than any men's strikes against production. .
