HUSBANDS IN WILLESDEN.
They Mind the Babies at Home While
the Wives Go Out to Work.

Willesden is a perfect paradise for a
certain type of husband. There is no
need for him to go out to work; his
wife will see to that. All he need do
is stay mt home and mind the baby.
He has a job for life and practically
nothing to do.
The Gilbertian arrangement Is due
to the peculiar industrial conditions of
Willesdcn. where there are many laun
dries and factories and female labor
is much in demand. Although 1t is
cheaper than male labor would be at
the same class of work. the wages are
good. considering that only five days a
week are worked in the laundries, the
women not being required on Mondays
AS much as from 20 to 80 shillings a
week can be earned. I'll being com
mon wage. even for girls.
Consequently the women rule the in.
dustrial world of Willesden. The posi-
tons of man and wife are reversed.
There is no need for the man to go to
work. Not only would he be unsuIta
BILE for the job. but the labor and the
wages would not suit him.
Therefore a working girl. when she
has saved sufficient money and thinks
of marrying. looks around to find an
eligible man. whom it would be her
duty to keep I'm after life He must
know how to battle. dress and feed
baby; how to amuse it and what to do
when it has commissions other than
rolling it on the floor or slapping 1t on
the back. If he can do all this the girl
proposes. is accepted df she is strong
enough to work.. and the knot is tied.
When the children grow up they are
packed off to the laundries or to one of
the biscuit, incandescent mantle or ce
dar pencil factories that abound in the
neighborhood. and their wages go 20

FRIDAY. JANUARY 8, 1918
Is Law Founded on Reason and
Common Sense?

II Mr.. L. J. Nelson correctly inter
preted the law governing the city coun-
Gil in making public improvements at
a recent meeting of the council when
approval of an assessment was under
consideration, then the law needs to
be amended. We do not believe that
it was ever intended to give the coun-
Gil unlimited right to fix the amount
to be expended. II it were so then
why does the law require that an esti-
mate of the cost shall first be ascer-
tanned and the property holders noti-
fed to appear and object if they de-
sire ? If the council can go ahead
and order the improvement made over
the objection of every property holder
in the district and expend four or five
times the estimated cost, where is the
use OF an estimate and what is the use
of notice to appear? 1t would be
sheer waste of time and money. Worse
yet, it would put in the hands of the
council the power to Cypress. We
can readily see conditions under which
public improvement would amount to
confscation Of property.
If this is the law it is very danger
Gus law, and should be amended. In
matters of this kind the charter of the
city OF Seattle provides that the amount
expended may exceed the estimated
cost fifty per cent of the assessed valua-
ton. In that case there is at least a
limit beyond which the council, or
board of public works, may not 60.
BUTT appears that in cities Of the
third class, if Mr.. Nelson is correct,
there is no limit at all. The esti-
mated cost may be six thousand dol
lars and the council may expend sixty
thousand, and the only right of the
property holder in the premises is the
right to pay without murmur. If it
were so it is a grievous fault, and the
old adage that law is founded on rea-
son and common sense is knocked into
cooked hat.

1913 Crop Valued at Nine Billion
Dollars

OF this stupendous amount corn,
cotton and wheat alone amounts to
five billion dollars. The tenth or
der of enumeration is usually employed
in expressing the distance of the stars,
computing the sands Of the seashore,
or the drops Of water in the ocean.
Amounts expressed in billions stagger
the imagination, and yet, it required
nine units in the tenth order to express
the value of the agricultural crop Of
the United States for the year 1913.
A comparatively small part of this is
forage and textile material, By far the
larger part is human food stuff. And
vet some inconsiderate individuals talk
of hard times and panics. When we
think Of this enormous production and
the fact that there is the potential en-
ergy in the earth, air and sunshine to
repeat this yield indefinitely, every
wear, we have but one regret, and that
is that there is such thing as human
madness. Nothing but human mad
ness on a large scale could bring on
hard times.

launching the greatest irrigation pro-
