ARE WOMEN FAIR TO THEFT
SERVANTS

Does not the masculine idea of a
pay roll so economical that the wo-
men workers in offices, department
stores and factories find their emolu-
ments too often wretchedly less than
the much-talked-of living wages" see
it's counterpart in the conventional
teachings of housewifely thrift
that dominates our woman's sphere?
Are not our cooks, maids, washwo-
men and seamtresses as miserably
underpaid as the factory women and
shop girls for whom sympathy is So
licited, and could not the housekeep-
ers of the country go a long way
towards solving the servant question
If they would put into its considera-
ton the same charity and generosity
that they are putting into the matter
of an adequate living for the worker
outside of the home?
A niece of traditional economy that
few of us care to overstep is that the
pay we offer for domestic service
must be the least that will be expect
ed. Our expenditures in other direc-
tions are SO lavish Or simple as our
purses can bear, but to the women
whose part in maintaining the order
illness and serenity of our homes is
beyond calculation we begrudge the
extra wage that would make good
work and well-ordered drudgery
worth while to those who serve US.
There is not one of us but can re-
call cases like that of certain arts
tocratic old family of a far Southern
state who held bitterly to the belief
that the lack of good servants in the
changed conditions of the south had
broken and made old before her time
the fragile and high-strung mother OF
the family.
In the long years of discomfort and
drudgery to which this impractical
and dreamy mother had been subject.
ed there had been family trips to
neighboring cities, presents of many
kinds, college life for two of the sons,
and many gay festivities, but never a
servant to whom had been offered
anything but the least amount of
wages and the greatest amount of dis
comfort in the way of a lodging. And
yet to them all the servant question
had seemed without solution and for
lack of servants a woman of exquisite
mental gifts had been turned into an
unsuccessful drudge.-Southern Wo-
mans Magazine.

REACHY NOW FLYING STRAIGHT
UP IN AIR

With a brand new motor. which
i barely escaped the fortunes-or mis-
fortunes-of war in being shipped
from France, Lincoln Beachy Is going
to offer Chicago his latest thrill.
The loop-the-loop and upside down
premier wired local friends from Gin
cinnati last night that he had success
fully flown straight up with his new
motor, and that the feat was the most
startling of his career as an airman.
To show the practicability OF his
latest feat, Beachy is going to uti-
lie it here in his "bombardment'' at
Hawthorne Saturday and Sunday.
He plans to drop down out of the
skies, rain his bomb on the imitation
forts and battleships which will be
erected at the local course. and then
make his getaway by flying straight
up. Beachey asserts that he can
make almost incredible speed in the
skyrocket fight and would be a hard
target for even real bullets TO catch.
Barney Oldfeld has notified the Ell
gin road race officials that he Will not
appear at the Kane county course I'M
til after his speed duel with Beachey
at the local track. Barney has or
dered his Stutz shipped to Hawthorne.
and will give his engines a thorough
| tryout in his races against Beachey.
| The earth VS.. air rivals sometimes
travel around the course in less than
forty-eight seconds. so the Stutz mo-
tor will be put to as severe a strain
as it will receive at Elgin.-Chicago

CAPT. j. D. YOUNG RETURNS

Capt. ]. D. Young, after spending
several weeks in Washington City, in
the interest of the appropriation to
the OklaWaha improvement project,
capital he collected a great deal Of
data relative to the Oklawaha traffic,
present and prospective, which was
placed into the hands of Senator Bry-
an and Congressman Sparkman, and
which both gentlemen used to advan-
tage on the floor of the senate and
house.
Capt Young says that he was as
sured by both Senator Bryan and
Congressman Sparkman that if con-
gress passed any appropriation bill
at all at this season that the Ottawa
ha river appropriation would be in
corporated in it, and become part
Of the bill. Both gentlemen said that
the bill might be talked to death, but
if it passed at all that we need not
give ourselves any uneasiness here,
for those items would certainly form
a part of the measure.
Capt. Young says that Senator
Fletcher is detained across the water,
but that Senator Bryan and Con-
gresham Sparkman were working
like Trojans for the bill, and it's fair
ness has been made so plain that its
restoration to the original bill will
have very little opposition.

Europe was inevitable.
Il notice that you have something
to say about the danger OF German
autocracy Overrunning republicanism.
Referring TO democracy as IL exists
in France and America. that result
would be a blessing. German imperial
rule is best for civilization, for law
and justice. and who protest should
join the issue now or keep silence.
BE sure also OF one thing-the
German army can whip the combined
armies OF the world in open field. and
the Britishers will soon find this but
to their dismay and amazement.
French. English and Belgian will
shortly be driven like cattle before
the whip hand OF the drover. The

GOOD ROADS

Good roads economic time.
Good roads save wear, tear, worry
and waste.
There's a reason for everything
except bad roads.
Improved highways prevent intel
lectual stagnation.
To make mankind better and hap
pier, build good rioads.
Let us have more split log drags
and fewer mud holes.
The state of Georgia works 5000
convicts on her public roads and
leads all states in the nation in this
respect.
Well constructed highways are an
aid to social, religious, educational
industrial and all other progress.
The split log drag has contributed
more to the economical maintenance
of our public highways than any 9th

1t does not require a special act OF

returned from visit to New York
He was accompanied by his 14-year-

warmer.
Mr.. Crosby says that all day lone

Mrs. Emma E. Goodwin, who for

self to the study of feminine gar

Even the frivolous must stop and
think. It's effects will penetrate our

closets! There will be a foreign
clothes famine, of course. That win,
perhaps, be beneficial. 1t will force US
TO create our own art standards in
stead of depending on tie Paris style
makers. l don't want TO seem frivo-
lous," added Mrs. Goodwin with a
twinkle. but if war will help Ameri-
can wmen to free themselves from
the fetish of foreign fashion and
sober them into little more serious
ness as to their clothes it won't have
been altogether in vain"

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER

Some time ago Rabbi Abraham ST.
mon was invited by the chaplain of
the United States senate to make the
opening prayer, carrying out the arti-
cles of faith embodied in our constitu-
ton that We are tolerant of all relig-
ions
The rabbi gave utterance to the fol-
lowing beautiful prayer:
Profoundly grateful for all Thy
countless blessings, and fully con-
scious of Thy presence here and wher-
ever Thy name is called upon in sin
cerity, we invoke Thy spirit to dwell
among US at this hour and at all times.
Every spot in our fair land has a glory
all its own to enkindle our pride and
to prompt our prayer. We feel Thy
everlasting arms support us, and pray
that we may never cease to deserve
thy protection nor fall below the great
mission which Thou has placed in our
hands.
Even the sun, ready to run his
race, stands this hour highest in the
heavens, declaring Thy glory, so does
our beloved America enjoy now the
high noon of prosperity and promise.
May she not lose her queenly zenith
nor go to the downward slope to de-
cline. Give us, therefore, o God, a
deeper appreciation of the. heroism of
peace and the apostleship of justice
with which Thou has commissioned
us. May we feel that the conscious
ness of American sovereignty lies in
righteous citizenship. Lite us real
iZe soulfully that honesty is not only
the best policy, but the only principle
of a self-respecting nation or individ-
ual..
May we learn to hear Thy voice
not in the storm of formidable power
nor in the fire of flinty steel nor in the
quake of raging creeds, but in the
still small voice of equity, justice and
peace.
"And not only here, but everywhere,
may Thy blessings be bountifully be-
slowed. Wherever there is hand up
lifted to heal and to help, do Thou
treble it's efficacy for good; wherever
there is a voice crying out against in
Justice and persecution, do Thou give
ear and force to its righteous appeal.
BLESS all the peoples with increas-
ing wisdom, freedom and brotherll-
ness, that the day may not be far dis
tant when all may stand in the high
noon OF full-orbed liberty and recog-
nize in the great republic of a united
humanity but one citizenship, that OF
a consecrated manhood and woman
hood, under Thee, the Father and Rul-
err of all. Amen"
