TEACHING DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

western University Criticized for I'm
warranted Statements.
A western university which has just
added course in domestic science opens
it's announcement with the assertion that
SO. 900. 100000 are spent annually in the
United States for food, shelter and cloth
ing and that 90 per cent of that sum is
spent by women who are without the least
idea of the value OF money. Hence. Of
course, the necessity for training at this
particular college in this particular course.
'If the faculty is no better qualified to
teach domestic science to the women Of
the country than this appraisement of
their intelligence in the expenditure OF
money indicates" comments the Pittsburg
Dispatch. 1T may be doubted whether the
course will be OF any benefit to the grad
yates. When 1t comes to spending money
for food, shelter and clothing and getting
the full value for 1t the average woman
has the average man beaten a million
ways. When a man wants a hat or a
suit or a pair of shoes he goes out and
gets them. When a woman medltates
similar purchases the transaction assumes
the Importance and demands and receives
the minute consideration OF a reciprocity
treaty. Who ever heard OF a man going
shopping? That is, deliberately setting out
for. that particular purpose OF visiting
every store and comparing goods and
prices? You may say he has not the time.
possibly. nor the inclination. But woman
has both. Not know the value of money?
What better proof is there than that mans
equipment is sold usually at round figures,
while women's almost invariably shaves
the cents. Ever notice how forlorn and
lost looking a man is at a bargain sale

The couples splashed about in the

so.ne more until after midnight. Then
some one noticed the lateness of the
hour. and a rush was made for the
dressing rooms. Then it was discov-
cred that the clothes of the 40 had
been taken. and that the swimming
pool had been locked. Billingslea
himself was one of the victims.

states health laboratories at the state
university and examined.
In some instances, the bacterial
count ran as high as 1,333,000 bac-
terra to a square centimeter of the
towel. The tests showed that 25 per
cent of the towels examined baccullus
coli was found. Thousands of skin
scales were found on each towel,
showing how the skin rubs off in min
ute particles whenever the face and
hands are wiped thoroughly.
Two men in Kansas have each lost

The hours from midnight to dawn
were not cheerful. The girls were
cold, as they had little covering, and
the men were cold for the same rea-
son. The girls were also sad, for they
were fearful about what their parents
would say.
Finally, about five o'clock, Billings
lea made some of his servants hear
and the doors of the pool were forced
and the party of men and girls re-
leased. 1t was not merry crowd that
emerged. Taxicabs and autos were
summoned. The girls, wrapped in
sheets, were sent to their homes.
The men were wrapped in any old
thing and also hurried away.
Billingslea thinks some one played
a practical joke on his guests, but he
is mad clear through, and has offered
a large reward for discovery of the
person who stole the clothes and
locked the pool. At any rate, there
will be no more swimming parties in

r OPEKA, Kan.-Kansas was the
j first state to abolish the common
drinking cup in hotels, railroad trains
and stations, and in the common
schools. 1t has gone one step farther,
and the common towel will soon dis
appear from all public places. After
an exhaustive investigation the chem
lists and psychologists of the Kansas
board of health recommended that the
common roller towel be forbidden as
dangerous to the people Of the state

New York May Establish Tramp Colony

stealing rides. Most of them were
tramps and at least one-fifth of the
accidents took place in this state
The bin proposes as solution the
establishment of labor colony. The
latter. briefly, is a state owned colony
for the detention, reformation and in
struction in agriculture and other in
dustrial occupations of persons COM
mitted by magistrates as Migrants and
tramps.
In Switzerland there is such a col
ony, located at Witzwill, in the canton
of Berne, and 1t has proved most sue
cessful. Practically all of the work
is done by the inmates. Not only is
agriculture carried on, but other en-
terprises are also conducted. The
buildings of the institution have been
erected by the inmates and all OF the
furniture is made by them. They
even make wagons and carriages and
the various tools and appliances used
on the farm.
An essential part of the Witzwill
system is the homes for unemployed
men. Liberated convicts are given
an opportunity to work and prepare
themselves for getting a solid foot
hold in the world. AS result of the
Witzwill colony there is no such thing
as a tramp problem in the canton
where it is established. The pro-
fessional hobo, who is beyond redemp-
ton, steers clear of the region; the
amateur is caught and usually re-
formed and made a desirable cit
izen.
With the establishment of such a
colony the vagrant in New York
would find himself between the horns
OF an uncomfortable dilemma--either
detention at the farm colony or the
giving a wide berth to the state in
which he now is found most often.
Whatever choice he makes should
mean an annual saving to the public
of millions of dollars.
