By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Whenever it happens that comment
is made upon things that 60 wrong In
the world of men and women because
the balance is not always true, there
is one feature that rather disturbs some
of us.
Those who listen will not always stop
to look at every side, and they see in 1t
an indication that some one has grown
sour" is arrayed against man himself,
his prerogatives, assumption of power
and everything else that is his.
While in fact, the most earnest OBJ
jector is concerned simply with a con-
dition, which, in some ways, happens
to give the balance of power to men,
and she gives no thought 10 the indi-
vidual She finds him courteous and
true, accepting the good things of life
as they come and not particularly con-
cerned with a change. He stands for
the loves and friendships on earth, and
that is all there is to that end Of 1t.
But as to the condition-that is an
other matter.
Quite Sufficient.
That there is a certain odium at
tached to comment of this nature was
particularly impressed upon my mind
awhile ago by a man who is kind
enough to give this little contribution
to The Herald the compliment Of his
attention.
All he said was: Il don't know where
you get your ideas concerning men.
But that was quite sufficient. For It
brought full realization of the fact that
if one happens to take her courage in
her hands and complain of certain con-
ditions that some of US think need
remedying she is straightway pronounced
aggressive and maybe man-hater -
who knows?
Did you ever stop to think that the
majority in the foreground OF the
woman movement are women who, for
all time, have pledged their allegiance
to men, their husbands?
To some of US it seems a right good
thing that this is so. because IL 1t were
the spinsters of the world who were
crying for reform" unaided by the
wives and mothers. there would be
chorus of voices TO tell that they had
simply grown sour disappointed" and
''bitter.'
But when the prime movers are wom-
en- happily married and with never a
grievance against husbands, never
protest against man as an individual,
what can be said?
When we run across strange laws
which work manifest injustice and ask
why the difference. II is TO show that
it would be we'll for some folk to change
their notions of the relative Importance
of men and women, and does not in the
least indicate a state of mind against
the Lords of creation" 1t just means
it is time that lords and ladies walked
together, in full communion.
And when we turn to States where
women cannot practice law If they
would. look at churches where they
cannot preach if they hear a call, and
points an accusing finger at other con-
ditions which discriminate too heavily
on one side, too lightly on the other
there is no SAVIOR of man-prejudice, Just
a human, natural attitude.
Even il We voice the plea. equal pay
for equal work." and ask why not,
when woman attempts to spread her
wings, does that indicate that We are
i'll of man or just that We think
right we'll Of woman. her capabilities.

though perhaps that has very aggres-
sive ring?
Were Cultured Folk.
II brings some measure of appreciation
of what those early workers encountered
when they broke through the web OF
prejudice and made a new pathway for
themselves and the many to follow.
In fact, they were well-born, gently
reared, cultured. and delicate In the
things that count.
BY reputation-well, IL there were any
bad names they were not called II must
have been because they slipped from
some ones memory.
Frankly, II seems absurd to explain
ones attitude in this regard, but what
else can one do when some folk cannot
or will not understand?
Form. firm and unchanged as that atti-
tude may be. it is pleasanter to feel quite
sure that ii is properly construed.
Courage. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS most OF
US are not very strongly equipped in that
regard.

FIRST OF SANTA CLAUS
LETTERS COMES FROM LITTLE
GIRL WHO BROKE HER HIP

Postmaster General Hitchcock yester-
day received the first letter of an annual
avalanche OF mail addressed to Santa
Claus
1t came from a little girl at Campti,
La. who said she had just broken her
hip and was bcdridden. The Postmaster
General has not yet decided whether to
send all Santa Claus letters to the Dead
Letter Office. or turn them over to chart
table organizations.
This latter course has been follow ed
during the last few years. but the trouble
OF sorting it out is a heavy drain on the
department, and it was believed that
this year Santa Claus mail would be
held unbelievable.

which has been working with the bak-
cries In the endeavor TO get clean
clean bread.
II has been pointed out that the
bread business depends, TO great ex-
tent upon the seasons OF the year. In
winter many families bake their own
bread, and sales fall off during that
season In summer bread sales mount
higher for the bakeries, and the sup
ply and demand are at a maximum
point. During the summer season the
rural delivery and the amount OF bread
shipped to other cities in Virginia and
the suburbs entails loss for the bak-
ers, as the bread gets stale quickly.
The situation has been carefully studied
with the idea of helping the bakers and
the public by wrapping bread The al
lance and students of the bread prob
lem point out that IL the bakers wrap
the bread they will not be forced to
sell much stale bread by the barrel
That which was formerly shipped away
at one-half cent a loaf, or 25 cents pei

II wrapped, and 1t is said that the
bakeries are almost ready to adopt the
idea here.
tits known that one large bakery has
been experimenting with the idea OF
wrapping all bread delivered. Encour.
aging results will no doubt lead other
bakeries to adopt the Housekeeepers
Alliance suggestion, and wrapped
bread is confidently expected In the
near future.

tuberculosis cases as to cure the pa
tients."
Mr.. Wilson and DR.. Woodward point
out that of 102 moderately advanced
cases received at the hospital last year
only eight died" OF 2& far advanced
cases, li0 died.
DR. w. ID. Tewksbury, superintendent
Of the hospital, made a similar explana-
tion.. Most Of the patients, he said, are
suffering from advanced stages OF the
disease, and consequently have little
hope for recovery.
Mrs. McCormick's statements, l
think, are overdrawn," said Or. Tewks-
bury today. Her inspection was made
month ago, since which time 1 have
received from her no suggestions re-
garding improvements in conditions.
Constant efforts are made to Keep
the hospital in a cleanly and sanitary
condition. 1t would be impractieable 70
keep the milk in bottles as suggested
in her report to the Women's Welfare
Department We use fifty gallons OF
milk daily. and to bottle this supply
would be huge undertaking. The milk
Is clean and free from impurities, and
our methods of handling II are en-
ployed in all the large institutions.
DR.. Compton denies that cobwebs were
seen by visitors in the operating room
OF the hospital, although he admits that
'on the day the ladies visited the insu'
tuition there might have been q little dis
order in the dining room and the ope'
rating room"

Tuberculosis Hospital
Chief Answers Charge
Of Mrs. Mccormick

Interested officials, replying to the
charges against the District Tubercu-
1osfs Hospital made by Mrs. Medill NC
Cormtck at the Thursday session of
the women's welfare department of the
National Civic Federation, said today
that the lack of cleanliness charged is
untrue; that the percentage of deaths
Is admittedly high, but that this is due
to advanced cases only being taken,
and that 1t would be impossible to
change the conduct of the institution as
regards the care of milk for patients.
The milk is kept in cans, and the wom-
ems welfare department Investigators
said that it should be kept in bottles.

Board of Charities; DR.. w. c. Wood

tbered that the hospital exists as much

LARGE WASHINGTON
BAKERY BEGINS TO
WRAP ITS BREAD
First Encouraging Result of
Campaign of Housekeep-

Experiments now being conducted by
one of.the largest Washington bakeries
In wrapping bread for public distribu-
tion, is considered today as the first
encouraging result of the campaign for
clean bread, recently inaugurated by
the Housekeepers' Alliance of the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs.
Lack of equipment Is said to be lin
iting the present output of wrapped
bread by this bakery, but larger sup
ply Is looked for in the near future. II
is understood that other bakeries have
been seriously considering the wrapping
proposition for some time.
The crusade begun some months age
by the Housekeepers' Alliance in regard
to better sanitary conditions for bread
and the approach of warm weather
with the dangers of the spread of dis
ease by the flies, is squirting interested
parties to action. Every possible aid
has been solicited by the alliance,

posed acquisition as follows: While we

against the east was intentional, yet II
Is not quite clear why the whole District
of Columbia should pay for the parks of
the western portion of the District of
Columbia, and the parks OF the eastern
section should be paid for by the resi-
dents Of the eastern section.
THE parks Of the eastern portion OF
the city meant more to the people liv-
ing there than the additional parks in
the northwest, because the northwest
now has more parks than all the rest OF
the District put together, and II the
northwest is to have additional parks,
the same should be acquired by con-
demnation to be assessed as benefits OF
the parks in the other sections of the
city should be paid for out of the funds
of the whole District"

Al protest against the proposed acqui-

way by the District, a recommendation
for the purchase of which an outlay of

The members OF the association, which
