IN THE WOMAN'S WORLD

his same letter Of Recommendation
had been used by a. least Dozen
cooks, who had unceTcmcntously LEFT
their employers, and II lad in some
instances worked very well. That the
class OF Orientals that serve as cooks
are most untrutIfful and very few OF
them trustworthy. Is a well known
fact.
II has been found those those WHO
let their servants have pretty much
their own way are the ones who keep
them the longest. but is 1t right to let
them do as they please? In Some In.
stances II is the custom TO let the
maid Off two nights week. and the
lady OF the house cooks the dinner.
This may hanye been successful in
these cases, but IL for any reason
that servant leaves her present posi-
ton, is il not rather hard on the next
mistress who is not In the habit of
giving herself more to do, in order

At an informal social gathering the
ether. day. the course Of conversation
drifted 70 the servant problem. Il
an afraid" said one of the guests,
to ask my cook n can have com.
pBny to dinner. or can even entertain
tic bridge club" Some OF the ladies
present laughed at her, while few
who were having the very same ex-
nerienccs. expressed sympathy. The
servant problem is one OF the most
annoying that confronts the woman
OF today; particularly the one who
has lived here a long time. On the
mainland where the servants are so
high priced, those in moderate cir
cuTstances usually do their own
work, and when they come 10 a place
Ike ours, where the servants, who 10
them, work for such pitance, they
hardly know what course to pursue
In managing them. The women, how
ever, who have come I'm contact with
the Orfentals, know that they should
not be allowed any Ieeway and have
little conjunction about letting them

tons.
Before the days OF annexation the.
Japanese servants used TO work under
CONTRACT. and q man and his wife
would serve for three years. for the
maximum salary Of twenty dollars q
month. Then, a servant when he
once secured a good position. was
willing 10 remain In It as long as he
could. AT that time there were many
more Chinese cooks than there are
at present, but they were willing TO
work only in the kitchen and would
do no house or yard work. A funny
thing about the Chinese is that they
much prefer working IN q family or
boys than one where girls predomi

INSANE PATIENTS
NOT PROTECTED
Government Hospital Ignored
Through Hasty Action Of OBJ
jecting Congressman.
IT'S FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
CANNOT BE USED
Property and Inmates Left Without
Safety Device-Private Own
ership Not Allowed.

The Committee Of the House on Public
Buildings and Grounds has made a care
ful investigation Of the fre alarm sys-
tenn recently Installed in the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane. finding
that IL put into use It would afford am
pie protection to the inmates and build
ings against disaster from fire. This
system, however. while ready for I'M
mediate use. cannot be put into commits
sion unless Congress provides the means
for its purchase or for Its maintenance.
Certain legal questions have arisen be-
tween the Department Of the Interior
and the contractor who installed the
system as to whether the government
or contractor Is now the owner OF the
system, questions which have for the
first time been raised very recently. The
committee to which this matter was re-
ferred has made a unanimous report TO
Congress, recommending that the whole
matter be referred to the Supreme Court
Of the District OF Columbia for the pur-
pose OF determining the legal questions
and of ascertaining certain other facts
mentioned. In order to enable Congress
TO determine whether 1t would order the
purchase OF the system and direct that
IL be operated by and at the expense OF
the government, or appropriate such
moneys as would be necessary to main
tain II by the contractor as contem-
plated by the contract. The amount
necessary for this would be about $500
per annum.
Upon the report Of the subcommittee
and found It In good working order. q
Joint resolution was adopted referring
the matter to the court. as above stated.
and expressly providing that, pending
the Investigations by the court. the sys-
TEN should be maintained in good work.
ing order for the protection of the 100
inmates as well as the buildings OF the
Government Hospital for the Insane.
This joint resolution (No. 3SD was
endar on Monday, but when II was
reached one of the members objected to
its consideration, and therefore no ac-
tion could be taken thereon.
Here was an opportunity for Congress
to afford the 5000 unfortunate inmates
confined in this hospital protection
against disaster by fire. This resolu-
tion was open to amendments. IL neces-
sary, but none was offered.
1t is inconceivable almost that Con-
gress should adjourn without taking
such action as will insure the operation
and maintenance Of this fire alarm sys-
tenn, already installed and in good work
ing order, in this hospital The ordinary
dictates Of humanity would seem to cry
aloud against the leaving OF these un-
fortunate and helpless beings confined In
this institution without giving them
every possible protection against the
risk Of being destroyed by fire, especially
as an ample protection against such an
appalling disaster has already been in
stalled in the hospital. and can be main
tained in operation for the insignificant
sum of $500 per annum.

SCHOOL SYSTEM BAD"
Clarendon Citisens Seek Better Fa.
cilitics for Their Community,

Betterment Of the school facilities of
Clarendon and of Arlington District will
be considered at a melting of the Claren-
don Citizens Association and other res
idents of Arlington District In Clarendon
Engine House at o'clock Tuesday night
Dissatisfaction with the school system
was expressed at a meeting of the Asso-
citation In Clarendon last night. Edward
Il. Wilson, president of the associa-
tion, declared that the school system
must be improved. For a long time. he
said. there had been a murmur Of dis
satisfa action. but now the dissatisfaction
must become distinctly audible. He de-
clared that with the money available for
the Clarendon schools. teachers of ability
adequate to the needs of the community
could not be properly paid. With proper
financial management. he asserted, the
required funds could be made available.

lon also spoke.
\. II. Hough was appointed q COM
mittee to invite the Arlington District

The Citizens Association last night
considered plans for improved sanitation
and water supply. but reached no def
mite conclusions.
