TO PAY HOUSEWIVES
FOR SERVICES RENDERED

BERKELEY, CAL, July 15.r-
That a partial solution of the
problem arising from the entry. of
women into business life may be
found in a system providing pay
ment for housewives for domestic
services rendered, is the opinion
of Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, in
structor of chemistry at the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology.
During the course of lecture
before students of the University
of California summer school yes
terday, Mrs. Richards said:
I'VE must come to correct val
uation of the work done by the
woman in the home. 1t is because
no economic value has been placed
on this work that women have
turned to vocations that bring
recompense. Women do not seek
environments other than the home
because they are more pleasant;
on the contrary. they take up oc-
equations less agreeable because
in them their efforts are appre-
ciated and rewarded"

SOCIALISTS
AROUSED

SEATTLE, July 15.-The SEN
fencing last week of Editor G. Il.
Warren of the Appeal to Reason,
a socialist publication, to six
months in Jail and to pay a fine
of 81, 500, has caused considerable
unfavorable comment among so
cialists in general and many work
ing men.
Warren was convicted of hav-
ing sent through the mails cir
cular offering $1,000 reward for
the kidnapping of former Governor
Taylor of Kentucky, and his return
to that state. The circular was
issued and mailed broadcast at
the time and officers of the West
ern Federation of Miners were
kidnapped and taken to Idaho from
Colorado.
The object of the circular was
to call attention to the inequality
before the law of the officials of a
labor union and the ex-governor
of the state of Kentucky.

Summary Of Ebents as They Happen
Again the Misinformed President.

Again the Misinformed President.
In siding with the interested manu-
facturers Of food products against DR..
Wiley, head Of the Bureau of Chem
istry, another victory is scored for
profits against public welfare. True,
this victory was won through the
agency Of chemical board known
as the Remsen referee, but the
result is a body-blow at pure food
laws. The point under debate was
whether or not the common preserva-
tive, benzoate Of soda, was injurious
to health in the quantities usually en-
ployed and the decision was such as
will sustain the manufacturers on the
continued use of the drug and host
of other chemicals under the free
dom they will assume is now Civ
en- to them. 1t is entirely true that
many of these preservatives are non
poisonous. Large quantities could be
consumed without toxic results. But
the fact we'll known to even the school
children is that the process Of diges-
ton is Preventative; and an agent
which is designed to prevent ferment-
alive changes in canned foods, will al
so prevent their proper digestion when
they are consumed. Agents which tend
to produce dyspepsia and its attend
ant train Of physical ills are harmful
and DR.. Wiley has been wise in his
rulings against them. 1t is unfortu-
nate that a physician so capable has
been reversed in his decisions. Dr.
Wiley knows that the poor necessarily
have to take the canned goods of the
shop. They habitually consume large
quantities and the introduction of
benzoate Of soda, the use of nitrogen
peroxide in bleaching -four and all such
things are definitely wrong.

reversal Of itself at the instance of
Federal pressure, as represented by
the over-anxious Mr.. Roosevelt. Even
the Act to segregate the children Of
the races in the public schools failed
to go through, nor was the question al
lowed to come before the people of
California on general ballot. The
President IN one of his messages to
the Governor of California loftily
states that the policy of the Admin
istration is to combine the maximum
of efficiency in achieving the real OBJ
1ect which the people of the Pacific
Coast have at heart" 1t is the real

Clearly, Of those interested in ORR

in Mr.. Roosevelt's desire to provoke
no alteration with Japan when his
administration is just closing. Other
than this, "war scare" is either
ridiculous or cowardly.
