Wherever There Is Need,
Want, Sickness, You
Will Find a Woman

"Send the women back to
where they belong" They go
there, brother. Wherever there is
need and want; wherever there
Is sickness and suffering; wher-
ever there are infrm cid people
to be cared for, or helpless
little children to be fed and
clothed, there Is where woman
belongs, and there you will find
her.
To begrudge a woman the
right to earn an honest living
for herself and those dependent
on her is the quintessence of
human meanness. That any
man could do it passes compre-
hension. A billion souls the size
of his could exist on the point

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 eriacting 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.
1t Is disgrace to civilization,
and an outrage on pesterity,
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
che women who are out of their
homes are out because they have
no homes to be in. If there are
any women so mad1y industrious
that they have left luxurious
home and a generous father or
husband for the pleasure of
standing all day behind the
counter, or pounding a type
writer, or speeding up machine
in factory, all l can say is that
haye never met one. All the
working women that |, know
work for bread, not for fun.
Every woman belongs in a
sheltered home. But suppose
she hasn't got the home, where
does she belong then?

Where Do a HousefuI of
Able Bodied Girls
Belong?

Not every man is eminentfy

men toll honestly and faithfully
all their lives and never succeed
in making more than bare liv-
ing. Suppose such man. has
grown old and feeble and he has

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 clothe them?
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 dollar to sup
port them on? Doesn't she -
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.

IN ANCIENT GREECE.

In the days Of ancient Greece il was the
common custom TO name the vessels after
the coddesses. and, in fulhlment Of the
spirit Of the religions Of that age, images
Of these deities were carried within the
ships In d general way the Romans
followed suit. and their ships also bore
the names Of the deties and carried
their craven representatives. In time
these carvings appeared both at the bow
and the stern and when the Christian
