COLBY ;; America's First "Sob Sister" MANY women have, lived In history of beauty, wit, or other charm that made them loved of men. Few women have come walking down the corridors of Time, their fame far-flun-g because of Die .acidity of their wrnth. Such a woman wrote history In Washington. Slie has been dead now three-quarte- of a century. I am speaking of Anne Royal) 1 Anne Royall mleht be railed Ameri-ca's first "sob sister." She was the nation's first writing newspnper wom-an. She was the first woman In the United Suites to own urn) edit her own newspaper. Site was Indk-ted- , tried and convicted as a common scold the Inst under tlie Inw. She was sen-tenced to be ducked, though the sen-tence was never carried out. John Qulncy Adams, one-tim- e Prest-dent- , handed down a morsel to pos-terity when he described her as being! "Like a vlrugo errant In enchanted armor,' redeeming herself from the cramps "of Indigence hy the notoriety of her eccentricities and the forced currency of her publications." Public men didn't like Anne Royall. She was the widow of a Revolutionary soldier from Virginia. She appeared In Washington In 1824 asking for a widow's pension. She was denied It and grew embittered. Finally, getting hold of a tumble-dow- n printing press and some battered type, she launched herself upon her career. At first ber small weekly was called the Washington Paul Pry. Later tt was renamed the Huntress. All who earned her III will she scourged In It with abandon. A contemporary, remi-niscent in his later years, wrote of her : "She was the terror of politicians, especially congressmen. I can see her now, tramping through the halls of he old Capitol, umbrella In hand, seizing upon every passerby and offering her book for sale. Any public man who refused to buy was sure of a severe philippic In ber newspaper." None escaped ber. It was aald that she forced ber way Into the presence of every President from, the time of her arrival until 1854, when she died. AH public men who paid her tribute, some have claimed, reaped glowing mention in her columns. But woe be-tide those who refused. As age crept on she grew more un-lovely still, and the acids of her wrath bit deeper. At last she became so unendurable that a grand Jury for-mally Indicted her. She was tried before Judge William Orancb In Cir-cuit court The law which made possible the ducking of scolds, long forgotten, was dragged from oblivion as especially suitable for governing her case, and Washington prepared for a hippo-drome. With the old crone In their power, however, the Idea ceased to hold Its humor with her tormentors It seems. Anyway, some one lost heart. In the end her punishment wns commuted to a floe and Imprisonment and she was not subjected to the greater Indignity. Though she never profited much and died poor. Anne Itoyall, In the example she set, hatched out a' breed of contemptible Journal-ists that persisted for many years. In fuct, they are not quite ell dead. Tet she Is not entirely without honor. She did originate the personal type of Interview and she must go down In history as the first woman In her field. And none who ever felt the scaring of her white-ho- t brand ever forgot that here was a woman who could fight & ll. Lmim B Colby I eama m f WHY WE BEHAVE 1 LIKE HUMAN BEINGS Br CEORCE DORSEY, Ph. D, IX. D. 11. ...tt Smiling a Human Trait MOST of na have about 310 muscles each side of our body. They are subject to such variation that Tes-tu- t, a noted French anatomist, re-quired UttO pagea to describe them. One-fourt- of all our muscles are in our neck and face. The human face can light up or cloud over because Its muscles are attuned for complex ac-tionkeyed to the human pitch. Facial muscles In mammals below man are more simple. We look for Intelligence In the eyes of a borae, not In the expression of its face. When tt needs to flick a fly from Its face or shoulder, It moves a muscle burled In the skin. Such a muscle covers many animals like a blanket We all have bits of this skin mu-sclesome of us more, some less, even on the chest and buck. Usually we can-not twitch It; we send a band after the fly. We have traces of It In our scalp; a few have enough to move the whole scalp. Most of us can wrin-kle our forehead and do, when per-plexed. Apes use this muscle both In pleasure and to frighten enemies. We all have vestiges of the muscles dogs use to pull, push, and lift their ears; some can even wriggle them. So, while the skin muscle of our face and shoulders tends to dtsappeur, the deeper facial muscles show pro-gressive variation. They are among our most recent acquisitions. We re-tain the muscle by which the dog shows Its canine toc'h; we can all suorl. But the muscle by which we smile Is not so regularly present; the man of gloom may have no rlsorlus. Variations In muscles ebont' the nose and moutb, necessary for speech, are usually forward-looking- ; they give the "speaking likeness" to man. Oft- - eu they reveal what the mind Is trying to hide. Only as we grow In experi-ence can we make our face a mask to belle our emotions. This Is because the face la primarily under the control of the autonomic nerves; they act of their own sweet will and are by na-ture honest. But by and by our brain learns to get control of them; we force our face to wear a smile when onr heart would bid our eyes to weep. Our arms are free; they have not forgotten that they were once legs. Of 36 bodies examined, 202 variations were found In the arm muscles; 119 In the leg. Our Immediate ancestors were four-hande- we are But when baby gets on the floor, It polls with Us fore and pushes with Its bind limbs; Just as we once crawled up out of wster on to dry land. ' Palmists rarely read the pad at the outer edge of onr palm or know that we have one like It on the sole of our foot; both protect deep-lyin- g muscles from Injury In walking. The palm pnd has Its own palmar muscle In one man out of every ten. It helped to work the pads which - protected the muscles and tendons beneath. Today, It is as atavistic as the pad Itself; we gave up walking on our hands about 2,000,000 years ago. As for "lines" of fate and marriage, and the "girdle of Venus," they can all be "read" In the hands and feet of monkeys, and to a certain extent In a baby's foot, or In the fetal hands and feet Palmistry Is as dead as phrenology. Anyone who can read "character" or "mental ca-pacity" from head bumps or ' palm lines Is a wizard. Whut does It all mean, this astound-ing range of variation, on which I have barely touched ? There they are, by the thousands, by unnumbered thousands. Shall we say that they lie, that our levator coccygls never lifted a tall, that our curvator coccygls nev. er curved one, and that our attollens aurlculom never lifted an ear? Or shall we say that we are walking mu-seums of comparative anatomy and try to find out whence we came and whither we are going? This Is cer-tain : there is no fixed, standardized, perfect or biologically Ideal human body there are no two human bodies quite alike. Kach one of us reeks with evidence that our ancestors were not the d crea-tures ve are now; that they had no talking mtiRcles; that they could not back up their tnlk with a speaking countenance; and that they could not balance their heads on their spines. Some variations are atavistic or vestigial. Like the buttons on our coat cuffs, they no longer function; like pnrlor boarders, they often make trou-- . hie. They are hangovers from a re-mote pnst. They are prone to dls. ease; we should be better off without them. Some are retrogressive, weak sisters of our body, functioning In a half hearted way: we could do with-out them many of ns do. Some are progressive, a little hit more than hu-man ; they point to further change In man's physical structure. Taken together, they bridge, every gap and make a complete story, j They prove that, while our eyes look for-ward, our body has not forgotten Its humble origin and carries some dead wood we were well rid of such as ap-pendix, tall, snarling muscle. Our proneness to hernia and prolapse of the uterus is only one of the many proofs that our body Is not yet per-fectly adapted to an upright gait ( by Oeorm A.
