In the Center of a Happy
Home Is Where Every
Woman Belongs

Before you could pass that
law, however, you would have
to pass another law that would
usher in the millennium, and,
unfortunately, you can't create
the ideal conditions of kingdom
come by enacting a statute.
The place where every woman
belongs is in the center of a
happy home, with plenty to eat
and plenty to wear, and hus-
band who loves her, and is good
to her, and faithful to her, and
with little children, amply fed
and clothed, playing in the sun
shine about her feet. That's
where every woman belongs.
It is a disgrace to civilization,
and an outrage on posterity,
when women are forced to feed
the race as we'll as to bear it;
that young girls exhaust every
ounce of their vitality in store
or factory before ever they come
to the great work of mother
hood, and that married women
are compelled to give their
strength to performing the work
they are hired to do instead of
giving it to their children.
Certainly every woman be-
longs in a home where she Is
cherished and cared for. No one
will dispute that. Neither will
any one dispute the fact that
ninety-nine and nine-tenths of
the women who are out of their
homes are out because they have
no homes to be in. IF there are
any women so madly industrious
that they have left a luxurious
home and generous father or
husband for the pleasure of
standing all day behind the
counter, or pounding type
writer, or speeding up machine
in factory, all / can say is that
I have never met one. All the
working women that know
work for bread, not for fun.
Every woman belongs in
sheltered home. But suppose
she hasn't got the home, where
does she belong then?
Where does the old maid be-

A MAN was expressing great
IA satisfaction over the fact
. : that the new Pennsylvania
law limiting the hours a week
that a woman may be worked
has resulted in throwing thou
sands of women out of employ
ment.
His rejoicing was not the re-
suit of any sympathy or COM
passion for the poor industrial
slaves that have been forced to
toll far beyond their strength.
Nor was it inspired by any
humanitarian sentiment toward
the weakly, neurotic children
that these exhausted mothers
would bring into the world.
He was one of the men
happily few now-who hold the
ancient faith that women are a
species of animals, created solely
for the service and pleasure of
man; that they have no rights
in the world, not even the right
to make an honest living by
their own labor, and that it is a
sacrilegious thing for them to
dare to compete in business
with men. Therefore, he was
delighted to hear of anything
that would cripple their earning
power
1T serves them right" he
exclaimed jubilantly; "a lot of
them have been sent back al
ready where they belong, and
a lot more will have to go, too.
I wish they would pass law
that would send every woman in
the world back where she be-
longs"
So say we all, brother. We
would all like to see a law
passed that would send every
woman in the world back where
she belongs.

Where Do a H0useful of
Able Bodied Girls
Belong?

Not every man is emincntiy
successful in business. Many
men toll honestly and faithfully
all their lives and never succeed
in making more than bare liv-
ing. Suppose such a man has
grown old and feeble and he has
a houseful of able bodied daugh-
etrs.
Where do these young women
belong? Isn't the place where
they belong some place where
they can make a good living for
themselves and help their par
ents, instead of working their
poor old father to death TO try
to feed and ciothe them1
In a family where there are
healthy, intelligent girls. are
they where they belong when
they hang like milestone around
a brothers neck, keeping him
from marriage and establishing
a home of his own because he
has to support them? Or are
they where they belong when
they devote their energies to
work instead of playing golf, and
leave their brother free to live
his life unburdened by his
female relatives? 1t is often
said that the reason that men
can't marry nowadays is because
of the competition in business
with women. The reverse of
this is true, for every sister who
goes out to earn her own living
leaves her brother free to marry
some other woman.
Where does woman belong
if her husband is invalided, or if
he dies, leaving her with little
children and not a dollar to sup
port them on1 Doesn't she be-
long out in the working world
then, where she can earn the
money to support those de-
pendent upon her? Surely she
is in her appointed place doing
whatever work comes to her
hand. and the pity of it is that
the place is often so hard and
its wages SO poor.

long, for instance? The last
census report showed there were
seventeen million unmarried
men in the United States. That
means corresponding number
of old maids, since no woman
can make man marry here un-
less he wants to. Are these
women to become parasites on
other people, or are they to be
self-supporting? Is it an old
maids place to settle herself
down on some family that
doesn't want her, or to hustle
out and get a job of her own2
Which way will the woman be
happiest and most useful to So
ciety? / think she belongs
among the workers, and not
among the hangers-on, don't
you?

TELEGRAPH line
FOR Army WORK
ON THIS island

The several army posts of Oahu
will soon be linked together and con.
nected with department headquarters
by a military telegraph, If plans of
the department commander and de.
partment signal officer are carried
out. There Is not mile of army
telegraph on the island, and, in the
opinion of signal corps experts, it's
high time for an up-to-date system.
A number of signal projects are
now being worked out by the depart
ment signal officer, and one or more
of these will be ready for recommen-
dation within few weeks. An inter
communicating telegraph line, how
ever, is the scheme now being
pressed, and it Is likely that the
necessary appropriation for its con
struction will be made soon.
The telegraph is the best and most
reliable means of military communi-
cation" said Captain George Gibbs,
who is the ranking signal Office OF
the Hawaiian department. "Tele-
phones are unsatisfactory for army
work, and even the routing orders
that pass between headquarters and
Schofield, Shafter and the other posts,
could be much more advantageously
handled over the telegraph. Oahu
needs some permanent Inns of mill
tary communication, and believe
that we will soon have first class
system"
The last transport from the Coast
brought about 40 more men and one
officer for the signal company here,
and as these men are telegraph ex-
perts, both in construction and oper-
alton, work, when once started, will
go along fast
A detail of signal corps men has
just been sent to Schofield Barracks

regard to establishing communication
between Castner and the cantonments,

SCHOOL FOR
DETECTIVES
ISPLANNED
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Will Be
Cared for at Institution
in Honolulu

A school for defective children
meaning an institution for deaf, dumb
and blinds to be a new and inn
school system of the islands. it
will be established in Honolulu this
fall, probably at the Central Grammar
school, and all the little folk upon
wnom nature has laid a heavy, Grip
Fling hand, will be taken in and de-
yeloped into intelligent, educated, use
ful members of the community.
At present there is no school, eth
er public or private, for detectives
in the territory. There are numbr
for such unfortunate individuals here,
the department of public instruction
having information of at least twenty
two, inflicted with inherent physical
,maladies, which, because they are un-
trained and uneducated, makes them
sorrowful, hopeless membranes. Still
others may be discovered when it is
learned that all can be given free
instruction in literature and arts as
we'll as the trades ands Industrial ac-
t4vities.
The idea of creating small school
of this character received the hearty
approval of the school commissioners,
who met early this week. Now Sup
erintendent T. H. Gibson is authorized
to send to the mainland for informa-
ton on the subject, TO obtain the spe-
cial instructor necessary to take
charge OF the institution, and to pur-
chase the requisite equipment.
The plan, as outlined by School In
spector Raymond today, is to conduct
day school, where the children NAV
be brought by relatives or friends. 1t
will be modelled much ON the lines
