Mexico Agrees to Arbitration in
ChumiZaI Natter

Washington, June 19.--MeXico
has agreed to settle the ChamiZal
boundary dispute by arbitration. A
convention providing the details, pro-
posed by the United States, is now
being arranged by telegraph in the
hope OF getting II before the Senate
before the adjournment Of Congress.
by its terms a Canadian jury is to
hold the balance of the arbitration
lie Will act as an umpire to the in
temational boundary commission
and will be chosen by the United
States and Mexico. If they fail to
agree on man, the Canadian gov
ernmcnt will be asked to name him.
The Chamizal tract, which was Of
comparatively little value when
claimed first by Mexico in 1894, has
since greatly increased i'm value by
me growth OF the city of lIl PasO,
Texas, which it adjoins. 1t is csti-
mated to be worth from one to five
million of dollars. The United States
has always exercised criminal and
civil iuris diction and has maintained
a customs house there. Many uucs-
lions OF title to property in the tract
are now held in allegiance in the
Federal courts pending a settlement

CANNING RHUBARB.


Rhubarb can be cooked and canned
or put UP uncooked by what is known
as the cold-water process.
To accomplish this cut the rhubarb
when young and tender and of a pretty
pink color. Wash thoroughly, peel or
leave unpeeled. as preferred. and cut
into small pieces as for pies. Pack into
sterilized glass jars and fill to over
flowing with freshly drawn water, put
on the al covers and let stand over
night. BY the next morning you will
find the rhubarb has absorbed most of
the water, SO a vacuum Is left in the
jars. Drain off the water and fill again
to overlooking with fresh cold water.
Let it run in with force, seal closely,
using new rubbers, and put away for
winters use. When required for use
treat the same as fresh rhubarb. Gran
berries and green gooseberries may be
canned in the same way, and will keep
for years.
If you prefer to use sugar in the can
ming, allow to six quarts of cut rhubarb
three pints of sugar and a pint of
water. Dissolve the sugar in the water,
add the fruit, n cook fifteen minutes.
Seal while boiling hot.

oF course the ideal state of society
- is that in which a man makes the
living and the woman makes the home.
1t a come about in modern times,
however, that many women are forced
to enter the business world in order to
supplement the income which is not
sufficient for the needs of the family.
1t is always a misfortune when cir
cumstances exist which compel the
mother to be all day away from her
children. When. however, there is no
remedy, a woman should adjust herself
as far as possible to the abnormal con
dition, and try to keep the home atmos-
phere, even though she cannot be the
centre of things, as is the purely do
nestle woman.
The woman who works merely that
her family may have more luxuries
often makes the mistake of over-esti-
mating material things. To give boys
and girls ~luxuries or even a little more
education will not offset the tempta-
lions that come to them from the lack
of oversight and of a mothers constant,
watchful care. The boy on the street
and the girl unchaperoned at the NATL
nee are beset by temptations which
would not be theirs II they were sur
rounded by the constant protective care
of the mother.
Even in the home where there are
no children there Is a danger in. the

loosening of bonds which tie husband
and wife together. A busy wife, of
course, Is better than an idle one. even
though her business takes her out into
the world of affairs. but when her &C.
cupation so absorbs her that she thinks
about her work to the exclusion of all
other things, there is likely to be
trouble. Many q mar reaches his
greatest success through the support.

strength. Life is such a complex thing
that 1t is impossible to lay down set
rules, but I am convinced that the hap
piest marriages are those In which two
people work as partners. the man as the
head of the firm and the woman as the
silent partner.
AS I said before. however, the ideal
of domesticity is not always possible.
and the danger lies in the women Civ
ing it up. The domestic atmosphere Is
absolutely essential In the making of u
home. If a woman can retain 1t and
work outside, then let her earn money
IL she will. If, however, she grows to
be like a man, coming and going indie
pendently, she has lost something that
makes for the happiness of marriage.
When necessity drives her to work
she should resolve that the money she
earns. If possible. be used to save her
strength n to secure a home-iike at
mosphere. So many women try to COM
bine the business of the home and the
business of the office. They work all
day and at night sew and cook. They
attempt to attend to all the details of
housekeeping and housekeeping.
Invariably they break down. The
sensible course is to hire sufficient help
to make the household a we'll ordered
one. 1t is cheaper to have a competent
woman to look after table service and
cleaning. mending and baking than 1t
is for the mistress of the home to go
worn out to her work. Success comes
to those who put their minds On n
thing. Women, as a rule, diffuse their
talents in a thousand ways. n so miss
reaching the goal of their desired
achievement.
The married woman who works must
make up her mind that If she goes out
of her house she must leave some one
in 1t who will look after her children,
take care of her house and keep the
domestic machinery running smoothly.
Too many women today forfeit their
place as the home-keeper for the sake
Of a few ~luxuries. 1t is. always unwise
to do this except in a case of dire ne
cessity. l know one woman who
teaches, while her husband Is the head
of a department In a big store. Be-
cause she Is alsE a wage Garner, she
considers herself exempt from all do
nestle duties. Logically, of course, she
may be exempt. She earns money and
her husband earns money, therefore,
she argues, they stand on equal ground
and there Is no more reason why she
should shoulder domestic burdens than
he, says the writer in the Philadelphia
Press.
The argument seems sound, but from
the standpoint of future happiness 1t
fails to be convincing. The woman is
the heart of the home, and that home
is successful only as she solves Its
problems. The old ideal of love In a
cottage has left us; a would
rather pound a typewriter all day than
wash her own dishes or make her own
But In this outside occupation she
loses something of the subtle feminine
influence which Is her precious pos
session. Men cling longest to the home
women and the hearth-women. 1t is a
mistake. as yet, to try to change the
masculine ideal. Some day men and
may work side by side with no
lessening of love. Until hat time, how
ever, the wage-earning married woman
should look closely to the preservation
of her place in the home and in the
heart of her husband.
