Another Feminist Idea

If the Feminist Alliance has it's way every New York apartment house will soon be provided with cooperative nursery. In explaining the idea one of the speakers at recent meeting de- clared the feminist movement to be a sdemand for the removal of all dis criminations between men and women based on sex" Continuing, she said: 'It will give fuller expression to the natures of women. Incidentally it will give them more chance to have babies. As conditions are now woman must choose between her occupation and having children. Suppose 1t were put up to a man to choose between father hood and his business-to be told that if he did marry he would never be able to do anything again except household drudgery. A woman is not only told that, but she> finds it impossible to rent a home in high class apartment house if she has children. If the landl lord were compelled to furnish a nursery like the original Montessori schools, which were planned for the children of women who went out to work, he would have to take people with babies in order to make his nurse " pay for it's space"
 Nearly every time an advanced woman" makes speech about femin- ism she dwells more or less on 'household drudgery." The idea of do- ing any kind of domestic work seems to make the average feminist fairly snort with righteous indignation. Motherhood, reverenced for ages, and the household duties that were for lnerly joy to the contented wife and a comfort to her husband, are indis- criminately classified as "drudgery Does the rampant feminist ever stop to consider that the majority of men who have to provide for family are compelled to work harder than the mothers of those families and under far more exacting conditions?
 The chief aim of feminism, to judge from addresses made on the subject by leaders in the feminist movement, is to cast off the responsibilities that women have assumed ever since the race began and trust to various and sundry schemes for their performance, including cooperative nurseries, CO., operative kitchens and any sort of CO., operative plan that will give women a chance to become mems competitors instead of their helpmeets. The old fashioned woman took pride in what the feminist sneers at as "household drudgery." Oh, for glimpse of the sort of woman who used to raise" q fine family of boys and girls. who had

THE SURPRISING BREAD DELUSION

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Childhood deusions have most astonish- ing powers of resistance. Nothing seems able to destroy them. For instance, there is the salt-rising bread delusion.
 The making of salt-rising bread is an art seldom practiced in these days-so much the better for the stomachs of the race But every little while someone will ask for the recipe. describing this delicious ar ticle of food and longing for it's restora- ton in the esteem of our best families.
 It is all the result of pathetic de- fusion; it is prompted by sweet but mis- taken memory. It is as if somebody in these days of electric lights should beg for information as to hsw the tallow dips were made that shed such a romantic glamour over his childhood. It is as if a feeble centenarian should beg plans and specifications for the building of an OK yoke, not out of historic curiosity, but un- der the delus.on that transportation by OK team would be as swift and luxurious as 1t used to seem when no better means of travel existed.
 As matter of fact. nobody without sen- timental bias would cat salt-rising bread if hs could get the superior modern prod
