Seek the Ballot But Not the Office
Says Jane Addams to American Women

and independence to carry out
the ideas of reform and progress
and work for the people at large.
For which office are women
best suited?"
In the majority of cases of
|officeholding, such as mayor, for
instance" replied Miss Adams,
woman, as man, would have but
little power or influence to work
tremendous reforms which she
might instigate in other positions,
as factory inspector, for example.
Placed in such offices and coming
closely in contact with condi-
lions, women would do a great
deal more than men along GER
Itain lines of reform, because they
would see things that men over
look. Child labor and woman
labor would probably appeal to
them more keenly than to the
majority of men,"
Miss Adams has been working
Theoretically with a committee of
Chicago women for the extension
|of the 10-hour labor law for
women which has just passed the
Illinois legislature.

keeping a minimum number OF
colonies of bees-no more than
can be well attended to by the
busy worker in office or shop with
some little assistance from the
housewife or children. Those
whose duties in life render IL
necessary for them to be mostly
indoors, but who feel the need
of some suitable recreation in
the open air which will ! be al
once healthful and remunerative
to the worker, will find no better
pursuit.
Very little consideration need
be given, IL you have no preten-
tious plans to embark in bee cul-
ture on a liberal scale->as 10
whether or not bees may be kept
in your neighborhood. No mat
ter where you live-in crowded
city or on broad acres in the
open country-little to discour-
age the beekeepr, in the way of
location defects or the objection
of neighbors will be met with.
A very simple and inexpensive
outfit is needed by the beginner
In beekeeping. Two or three
hives-a colony or two of Italian
bees-a comparative new and
more gentle strain than common
American bees-two or three
good books on bee culture, a veil,
smoker. lots of perseverance
and little practical and thor
oughly understood knowledge

ing others-then begin.

will be found some active bee
keeper who will welcome a visit
from the amateur apiarist and
freely discuss with him the mys-
terious works of these socialistic
colonies.
An initial investment of TWEEN
ty-five to thirty dollars will go a
considerable ways in fitting up a
back yard spiary. For this sum
full colony of gentle Italian
bees with a queen of high pedi-
gree In a hive ofmost serviceable
design. supplemented by extra
hives and other fittings as we'll as
by authentic textbooks on bee
keeping, may be obtained. With
such an outfit the amateur who
gives his bees only little atten-
tion--a few moments daily or
maybe only half-hour during
an entire week--will, under ordi-
nary conditions produce enough
honey for family of five per-
sons. Two colonies to start with
would not only provide for the
home table. but give a small sur
plus to sell.
From this small start, with
only occasional attention through
the year the amateur could grad
ually build up an apiary as large
as he might choose to maintain.
Each colony under normal condi-
tions will throw off one swarm
and sometimes two-during the
season, and these newcomers, II
properly cared for, will very soon
begin their work of storing up a
supply of well filled sections.

Dear Miss Grey:

Dear Miss Grey:
A gentleman who has been GO
ing with a girl friend of mine for
about two months, called me up
and asked me to go to dance
with him. AS I had known him
as long as she had, and he as
sured me that he considered him
self free to go with whomever
he wished to, I accepted the in
vitation. He told the girl the
next night that he had taken me
out, and now she and several
other girls have turned against
me. Did I do right to accept the
invitation? Or should l have
spoken to the girl about it? /
had no intention whatever of
causing any trouble between this
girl and her friend. M. A. F.
A. Since the man was not en-
gagged to the first girl, you were
at liberty to accept his invita-
ton. There was no possible rea-
son for consulting the young
woman, and 1t was the man who
took the risk Of trouble between
himself and the other girl. Many
young women have a sense of
ownership. or proprietorship in
any man who continues to pay
them attention.
