Woman in the Home

''.rhe Doctors wifes problem has aroused
me to a sense of duty, hence this letter.
|, too. am old fashioned enough to be-
lieve that God didn't share his biggest
and most sacred job with a class of
wealxlings when He made us the mothers
of the world, but instead meant us to stay
on the job until He called us elsewhere.
| am of the opinion that the only right
way for 'Perplexed' to do in Justice to
all parties concerned is contentedly to re-
main at home safeguarding its interests
as she alone can do. 1t seems to me
that no man needs a dependable home
more than does a doctor, whose profess
sional atmosphere is so heavily charged
with anxiety from home leaving until
home reaching. What a splendid chance
this wife has to help one man play the
big game right And who knows but by
staying within the shelter of the home
he has given her. jealously watching its
every interest, she may so strengthen and
increase his efficiency that their financial
problem will work itself out Do / read
between the lines, My husband has come
around to see the necessity of larger
income than we have now, and this is the
only way to make it, his acquiescence
because she, through mistaken sense
of duty, insists or is the lure of the busi-
ness game working its leaven of unrest
now that her little ones needs seem less
nsistent since she can attend kindergar-
ten? Let the fairly we'll income suf-
fee, as there doesn't seem to be an ur-
gent need for such drastic change as
return to business would mean in the even
tenor of home life. And is it not just
possible that this added burden to her
home duties might weigh heavier than she
suspects? 1t Is such a blessed privilege
to keep within the shelter of the home
shielded by good man that / wonder
any woman cannot be contented to create
her world happiness with such unlimited
opportunities within her hand. This isn't
beautiful theory of a woman who has
a soft snap but one trying to keep her
home intact, that the children may have
a fighting chance to make good later on.
T. too, have a chance to make money
outside the home that pays we'll, but cam
not accept 1t and put in jeopardy the
home interests. II f. W.

THE LAW AGAINST
LOTTERIES AFFIRMED

supreme court today affirmed the con-
stitutionality of the law prohibiting lot
teries, policy games or betting when 1t
confirmed the sentence of Edward A. Hill
ton to three years Imprisonment for con-
Quoting a policy game in st. Louis. The
court also affirmed the conviction of
Joseph Cummings for betting on a horse
race In Louisville, Ky. Attorneys for
Cummings raised the point that it was not
known definitely that the race on which
Cummings received a 81 bet was conduct
ed at Louisville. In answering this argu-
ment Supreme Judge Brown said in the
opinion:
"A court that would solemnly decree
that it cannot judicially know facts which
are well known to all its constituents
would furnish thereby substantial reasons
for its recall
