Architects began planning Kitchens and flats where
work was done almost magicay by means of tubes
and lifts and chutes. Gas and electricity and heating
appliances did away with the frghtfu coal and ashes

- crude and uninviting in tins, finally perfect
and superbly pleasing in every way, glass and

Machinery applied itself to even the humblest
household task. The sewing machine turned Hoods
famous drge into parody. Companies were formed
for the purpose of scientific house cleaning rug
beating, window cleaning A perfect wave of prac

going on their knees to PROPOSE but in everything
that was done there was this tendency to apply the
noblest discoveries to the tightening of women S

V7HILE the Suffrage guns are booming
" through the world and host of feminine
upheavals of various sorts agitating
the surface of the social, there is STILL SLOW al
most secret movement going on in America which
under different high sounding headings translates
itself into Household Science in it's many branches
suggesting to the student in sociology that there is
delightful Renaissance at hand in favor of the
home
And that this is no idle threat is proved by the
magnificent new building housing the School of
Household Arts at Columbia University with Cornell
following, good second, in its classes of Domestic
Science. Pratt Institute has long been famous for
its model kitchens and laundres it might be called
the pioneer in this revival of the lost arts.
The public schools are falling into line, while
among the settlements and charitable institutions in
all large cities there classes for children we'll

also taught in simple fashion the chemical and
nurtive qualities of food the principles of household
economics being made attractive by little luncheons

None of this work is hammered to any extent by the
press, and those stunned by the hectic conditions
that mark the great woman question in these days
are likely to allow pessimistic and wholly unneces
sary despair to settle them when they picture the
Woman of the Future, with her cigarettes her votes
and her masterful pursuit of man.
But these alarming and sensational surface ripples
are all indicative of deeper currents swirling them
selves into strong tidal wave toward home revival
There is possibility that Housewifery will be-
come fad and that keys will once jingle from
my LadyS waist instead of the omnipreSent vanity

This is rendered prophetic by various signs in the

rainbows, of the moments feminine astronomy. AS

THE GOVERNORS, CONFERENCE.

TA0ENTUCKY hospitality is traditional. 1t was sPlendidly
I'm shown yesterday at Frankfort in the reception and enter
tainment of the governors and governorselect OF twenty
four States. Today the conference of the governors convened at
Louisville to discuss the various great questions of state, Interstate
and national Importance. It will be found that there is a great
diversity Of views among the State executives. They represent both
political parties, although the conference is non-partsan, and ike
wise they represent sectional interests that are more or less IN
conflict. But the outcome of these annual conferences will make
FOR the common good of the country. The idea of the national con
ference of governors was anticipated by that OF a conference Oh
New Jersey mayors, which was projected several years ago. There
was a lack o.. interest and the Mayors League" became moribund.
What is good for the States of the Union is good for the munich
palities of the State. The Mayors League" should be revived In
this St.t to become an established institution.

TAFT CONSULTS CANNON.

TrS RESIDENT TAFT is just now consulting advisers preparatory
liz to the submission of his annual message to Congress. Speak
81 Cannon and his alter ego, Representative Mann, of Hi
nois, took luncheon with the President yesterday and favored him
with their views of what he should say and recommend in his mes
sage. But Speaker Cannon is on record as believing that nothing
;mportant can be done at the coming session. And there is reason
to believe he is right. There is a natural anxiety on the part of
Republican leaders to anticipate the Democratic program and take
the wind out of the sails of the next House of representatives. But
there are difficulties in the way. In the first place, Mr.. Taft is
deeply distrustedi by the Progressive members of Congress. Any
bills labeled administration bills will be examined closely for
Aldrich and Ballinger jokers. The session will be short, the holi-
DAYS will cut out much of the time and the appropriation bills
will consume more time. What with the delays and distractions in
legislation, it will be remarkable if any of the Presidents recon-
mendations that q omit of controversy will come back to him in the
shape of legiNS low.

Fire FUND largest of Kind.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The amour OF the fund started by
the STAR for the relief of families of
the victims OF the High street factory
fire, for those who are in a serious
condition in the hospitals, and, I sup
pose. for some who are thrown out OF
employment by the fire and are at their
homes, is already larger than any
raised in Newark before, so far as
remember. for such a charitable pur-
pose. There are families Of the dead
and seriously injured who are not in
q destitute condition. but there are
quite a number very poor.
1 would like to suggest to the ex-
cellent committee selected to distribute
the fund that the funeral expenses Of
all the dead be paid out OF the fund,
and that the parents of the dead who
were insured retain the insurance
money, and II it has been paid to them
and given to u~ndertakers, that the
amounts be returned to the families
out Of the fund. The motherless blind
girl should be educated and given a
home. No doubt this case will be given
special attention by the committee on
distribution of the fund. Some of the
girls who escaped from the fire are at
their homes suffering from nervous
shock and are being trerated by ply
~slcians. SUBSCRIBER.

POPULAR DEFENSE AGAINST THE CHEAT.

m MOST effective weapon for swindled consumers to employ
EA against dishonest tradesmen who cheat them in weights
and measures is a boycott Publicity would be the signal
for such a movement against the swindler. Every case of cheating
detected and exposed should go o. record in the daily newspapers.
Every such exposure should also be held as an Indictment of the
inspector having charge of the district in which the act was com
United. The public cannot rely too confidently on protection by
public officers. Laws, however strict, are too often laxly enforced.
If the people themselves are on guard and quick to detect the cheat
and determined in exposing it, honesty will finally be at a premium
among men in trade who now think little of cheating by weights
and measures. They will be fain to adopt the Franklin maxim,
namely, Honesty is the best policy"
