WHAT WE OWE TO WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makers
Of the Home and Providers
OF Comfort

Social progress with primitive wom-
en- was stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, to dress
and to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
OF the home or shelter. It is the re-
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that q IS the burrow
for her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as a home LOT
hers. The human female more than
all the rest created her home. But
not only is this true, but she differen-
tiated the home. and all parts OF the
most elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account.
The first homes were cheeriess
caves. Fire could not be made in
them because on the smoke, SO wonn-
en- fought out cave with an opening
III the rear, or rock shelter with q
high curved roof When she became
dweller in tent she searched for
the Oldest wood. learned the mystic
ries of the fuel problem and even IN
vented the coral to induce the wind
to draw a little OF the smoke there
from and to increase her comfort.
TO the women OF the household we
are indebted for the oven, the Chin
neg and the chimney corner. the
kitchen. the dining room. the family
room, the separate bed chamber. It
has been wonderful evolution re-
sulting in comfort, taste and morality.

Des Moines, Jan. 30.-Altho Chicago
newspapers were not 80 long ago fllled
with exposures OF the incompetency OF
some OF the medical colleges In that
city engaged in turning out doctors,
there Is disposition In Illinois to resent
the attitude of the Iowa board OF medi-

Illinois board denies that Illinois medi-
cal schools are not up to standard ana
says he has been compelled to refuse
examination to some from Iowa medi-
cal schools.
The fact is that recently, as pub

instruction, together with the capacity
for instruction and such other methods
as might be legitimately required OF

or institutions whose diplomas are to
be presented to the Iowt state board OF
medical examiners for the purpose Of
taking the Iowa examinations. A COM
mittee from the Iowa board visited all
such institutions In the city of Chicago
and In its report recommended that
Rush Medical College. the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Northwest
ern University Medical school, Hahne-
mann Medical school and Bennett
Medical school be the only schools In
Chicago whose diplomas would be rec
ognized by the iowa state board of
medical examiners and that diplomas
from these schools would not
be recognized from graduates who en-
tered after Jan. /, 1911, unless said
graduates had had four years course
in an accredited high school, together
with two years OF liberal arts in an
accredited school All Of these require
ments are found enumerated on pages
and Of the circular Of information
containing the rules and regulations
Of the Iowa state board OF medical
examiners. For this reason and this
reason alone reciprocal relations have
been withdrawn"
There are colleges In Illinois outside
Of Chicago that have not been en-
amined, but go long as the Illinois
board gives recognition to others In
