The Business of Life in a
Kitchen Bores Some
Wives.

Moreover, the women who are
trained to business. and not to
domesticity, are going to assert
their rights to help their hus-
bands in the way that is most
agreeable to them and to work in
offices and stores that they enjoy,
instead of in kitchens that they
hate. The married workingwom-
an may be a phenomenon of the
times to-day. She's going to be
the commonplace of tomorrow.
So l advise the single working
women not to waste their time
in protesting against her, but to
use il in getting ready to com
pete with her.

Learn All New Dance
but Be Modest and
Graceful.

1t is as innocent OF anything
injurious to the morals Of the
young as skipping the rope.
Instead of selecting some one or
two new dances to decry, our
well meaning morallsts should
decry indecent attitudes or sug-
gestive movements in all dancing.
The same moralists make no
protests against the waltz and
two-step.
Yet both of those dances can
be made quite as Objectionable
as any of the most modern inven-
tons, if the participants so wish.
When the waltz was first in
troduced in the ballroom it Great
ed as great excitement and as vio-
lent protests as the modern
dances are creating. Lord Byron.
who was debarred from the plea
sure by lameness. exhausted his
vocabulary of invectives against
the immoral waltz.
Let us be sensible and reason
able. The dance is reborn; and
it must live it's life. It must DO
it's work. 1t must be met as
factor in social life, Instead OF
attempting to crush It, or abolish
It; instead of saying to our young
people, you can dance and two
step, but you must not learn any
of the new dances; they ara in
decent" let US say, Learn all the
new dances, but be modest, de-
cent, graceful and well behaved
on the dancing floor.
Dance only with your friends.

And to our older people let %

For, to-day. the man or woman
who does not dance is the excep-
ton.
He or she needs to explain why

A Showdown on the McAdOo Subway
HOld-Up.

So long as Secretary McAdoo persists IN MS ue-
mands for 100000 for subway easement under
the postoffice there is left for this city only the
choice between paying that sum and months OF
DELAY and expense incident to changing the route
acquiring property preparing plans and the Ike
1t is kind of Hobsons choice-neither alternative
is desirable Two reputable real estate firms have
advised the Public Service Commission that the
easement desired should be granted for nothing az
the postohice property will not be damaged. The
dealer who told Mr.. McAdoo the easement was
worth 81 100000 has refused to give any reasons
for that estimate or show on what he based it.
ID to date the McAdoo attitude is wholly mex
picable-save on the ground least complimentary
to the Secretary Of the Treasury, that since ne
could not build the new subways he cares not what
obstacles his successful rival encounters. This IS
the peoples subway, and the people will have TO
foot the bill either way. If Mr. McAdoo and his
real estate expert refuse explain their position,
the public at least should have the information con-
tanned in the official records regarding this matter
The Public Service Commission should make public
its correspondence with the Secretary of the Treas
ury. 1t is only fair that there be a show down

A Charter Referendum.

The city's next charter may may not be a
radical document with the initiative, referendum
and recall provisions In 1t, Mayor Mitchell pre-
dicted at Cincinnati But whatever provisions are
in the document which is now being prepared, 1t
certainly should be submitted to a referendum of
the voters here In proposing that the Mayor is
wise and his view eminently sound.
1t is time this city had a sensible workable char
ter which suited It's needs and the habits and
desires OF its citizens. The custom in all charter
changes hitherto has been to send bills to the Legs-
lature representing the ideas of a little group Of
eficehoders or Of some organizations Of citizens.
Some have been good, some bad. The Legislature
has done what 1t pleased with them, regardless OF

The Marvellous American Tongue.

If there were no other defence for the fearful

Meanwhile, we are coming in this country

people Some of these forms and phrases are

But may not the new phrase come from the opium

AT any rate, we take very little stock in the Idea
that slang Is either prurent, perverted heinous-
~ disregardful Of the meaning Of words. 1t Is
glib raw, immoderate, without respect or rever-
