Had Narrow Escape From Death

Henry Johansen, was slightly burned
last Thursday when five gallon gaso
line tank exploded from some unknown
cause. He operates traction engine
and was engaged at the John Weible
farm southwest of Viola Center Smelling
corn. While in the performance of his
duties, the explosion occurred, from
which his clothing caught fire. A mum.
Der of workmen nearby saw the perdic-
ament he was in. and they rushed to
his assistance disrobing him of the
burning clothing Fortunately he was
not seriously burned and is able to con
tinue his daily duties. Had it not been
for timely assistance, Mr.. Johansen
might have been badly burned and his
injuries might have proved fatal.

Lot Sale is Postnoned

The public sale of lots by James Law
in his new addition to Audubon, which
was to have taken place yesterday af
ternoon had to be called off on account
of the extreme bad weather. However.
three lots were sold, two to Wallace
Bolton and one to John Twist, and at q
fair price. Mr., Law tells us this morn
ing that the sale will be held at later
date, the exact time to be announced
later. There is quite a demand in
Audubon for building lots and we have
no doubt but what Mr. Law will easily
dispose Of his plot containing 20 lots.

HELP FOR RELEASED PRISONERS
Beware of Fakes, Urges the Prison
Association.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: From a number of sources the
attention of the Prison Association
has been called recently to appeals 70
individuals for financial help by al
legged released and discharged prison
ers. Investigation by the Prison As
ISOLATION has shown in number of in
stances that the appeals have been de-
liberstely planned TO obtain money
with false stories and misrepresenta-
tons.
The Prison Association of New York
Obs East 18th ST. is glad to do what
ever it can for released prisoners and
maintains a trained staff for that pur-
pose. It has close relations with the
state and city correctional authorities.
| suggest, therefore, that, for the pro-
lection of the public and for the real
help of worthy released prisoners, the
application for aid be referred TO the
Prison Association, or that inquiry be
made OF the association as TO informa-
ton that the association has.
This letter is written solely to pre-
vent deliberate exploitation of the pub
lie by unprncipled ex-prisoners. and
offers a method of helping worthy ex-
prisoners. o. F. LEWIS.

THE TEACHER MOTHER AGAIN
1t Is Folly to Attempt to Regulate the
Private Lives of Women.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When are our public bodies
going TO stop making themselves look
foolish by attempting TO regulate the
private lives OF women? Women are
not going to put up with such rulings
as that Of the New York Board OF Edu-
cation on teacher-mothers.
Let us look at the matter IN ITS true
proportion. The "teacner-mother' con-
troversy affects, so President Churchill
saws. sixteen of $4,000 teachers en-
ployed by the board, or three-iitths or
/ per cent. Just this little handful OF
women are sufficiently DESTROYS to be
mothers TO save money TO take the
necessary time off and to run the risk
Of losing their profession for lie.
What wonderful mothers they must be!
Probably most of their colleagues are
against them, just as ready to dictate
as the rest of the vulgar world always
has been-the true sphere OF women.
But what of that! They are themselye
the product of an absurd system which
puts in charge of the preparation OF
The Young for life those who know
least about it. Our pedants 20 from
high school TO college and back again
20 Iigh school. What do they know OF
life. of passion and aspiration, of hard
shin and great achievement? The aver
age experience of the teacher ~ atten-
uated, anemic and second hand. Mar
riage and parenthood should be the
normal eyperience of the adult without
any fuss about II.
No one in New York or any other city
finds motherhood so heavy a response
bility for the poor. No Board OF Edu-
cation forbids the charwoman to char
after she has n child. In Great Britain
a woman is turned out of the civil SER
vice automatically on marriage; thus
a direct incentive is given to Illicit re-
lations or to concealed marriages. Not
even the highly trained medical women
EMPLOYED by the London County Coun-
ell are allowed to judge for them
selves: they are warned that on mar
rage their services must cease. why
not marry and say nothing!
Investigations into sweated indus
tries have shown again and again that
employers preferred mothers because,
they say, "they are steadier and not so
likely to complain" In other words,
they are more desperate. How is that
question to be solved?
If the Board of Education wants to
retain any reputation for decency and
common sense il will at least recognize
motherhood as an excuse as legitimate
for leave of absence as travel or re-

Dieppe and Havre. The real objective OF the
German campaign in the west has slipped out
Of mind while secondary and really unimportant
ends have been pursued at great sacrifice OF
time. men and material.
II would have been far more rational for Ger
many TO let Antwerp alone and TO expend every
ounce of energy on taking Verdun. Verdun is
worth dozen Antwerps, with Calais and the
other Channel ports thrown in for good measure
If in the last six weeks Germany could have
broken the French defences in the valley OF
the Meuse the second phase of her western
campaign would have been as successful as the
phase which carried her armies across Belgium
and we'll into Northeastern France. Her position
in the west would have been vastly strengthened
and she would not have unduly FASTENED Great
Britan's military preparations.

New York City had an epidemic of failing
seekers after work in unconventional fashion last
winter. That treatment didn't solve the prob
lem. The authorities now are aware that the
unemployment problem will be more acute this
winter than last-so acute that all the charity
and relief reasonably to be counted on will not
meet the need. Enormous luxury; enormous
poverty"-and what most of the poor ask is a
chance to work for wages sufficient to enable
them to keep on living in the way to which they
are accustomed. failing nsistent applicants for
work and relieving" meeker ones will not wash
society's slate clean.
