DOMESTIC HINTS

If you wish 10 make starch and let II
get cold before starching the clothes, try
this method: After the starch is made,
ard still hot, sprinkle cold water all
over the top as though you were sprink-
ling clothes. You will find no scum on
top and can use every particle OF it.
Rics should be washed in several vat
e~s before cooking il. The best way TO
do this is TO put the rice in a sieve, and
p.unEr it up and down in pan of water.
Warm water Is better than cold.

Feds Have an Auspicious Opening
Politics Still BabbIe.

The first game of the triple-plated
Federal League opening between
Buffalo and Baltimore in the Mary
land city sent the new circuit away to
a flying start as regards attendance.
Over 10000 fans crowded into the
park. A rival game between the New
York Giants and the Baltimore Inter
national Leaguers had to depend for
patronage on the overflow which
clamored for a sight of Federal
League ball.
Taken all around, the game was up
to the major standard. There was
some ragged fielding, but the two
teams have advanced in. teamwork,
and turned some, pretty plays. Bal
timore, in particular, with an infeld
composed of Swacina, Knabe, Doolan
and Walsh tore off big league stuff for
the full route.
The pitching of Quinn, Moore and
Knapp, all former members of organ
lied teams, was strong.
Politics of the diamond made no.
BILE effort to hog the limelight. Bill
KiIlifer was expelled from the Base
ball Players Fraternity for jumping
his contract, and President Fultz also
severely arraigned the magnates for
Turing him away!
The Philadelphia Nationals filed
two suits against the FederaIs, one
asking $25, 900 damages as a result OF
the Killifer case, and the other an in
junction preventing the Feds from
tampering with any more players in
the PhilIy ranks.
President Gilmore and officials CT
the Chicago and Brooklyn clubs are
named as defendants.
The suit of the Boston Braves
against Pitcher Jack Quinn and Off
Gals of the Baltimore club was not
filed. President Gaffney of the Braves
said he had not abandoned the inten-
ton to sue, but would wait.

Budget or Pnrk2

TIX-PRESIDENT TAFT has returned to his
IL attack on one of the most serious faults
in our governmental arrangements. To
remedy the evil he advocates in strong terms
a real national budget I'VE must pursue"
he says, "the policy that other governments
have found necessary in order to keep out
ef bankruptcy"
the problem of budget control, slighted by
the language OF the Constitution. is becom-
Ing acute with the disappearance OF our old
state and national isolation. 1t is the lack
of coordination between governmental in
come and expenditure that induces profuse
wastage OF the public money A committee
Or the Senate, which accomplished few re-
suits in the way of correction, declared a
few years ago that many millions of dollars
eauld be saved annually by the application
Of business sense to This problem. and sena-
tor Aldrieh set the figure at 100000. 900. No
corporation could waste money at that rate
and keep out Of bankruptcy a week
When Mr. Taft was President he learned
how hard thing il is to work for reforms
which strike at congressional patronage

fem. but no thorough. comprehensive econ

Beguiled by Crafty Men =?

YESTERDAY John P. Connolly chairman
J. of the Finance Committee of Councils,
protested that there is mot single ward
along the river where one person has died
because of the present housing conditions
because of filth" Bishop Garland who is
not politician and serves no interests save
those of humanity, is not so sure. II am
not judging the tenements from what have
heard" declared the Bishop. II have seen
the houses and have been inside many OF
them II our physicians were to in
scribe the real story on every death certih
cate of infants and children who die in the
tenements. we would find the majority of
deaths were directly due to living conditions
in the tenement dens." Possibly Mr.. Con-
nelly is simply ignorant of the facts has
been beguiled by crafty men. Yet Mr. Con-
nelly has enjoyed unparalleled opportunities
for knowing the truth.

WOMEN FLoCKED TO THE POLLS
California Election Proved Their Interest and
INDICATED Their Judgment

one thing was settled at the recent election
The women vote
Everywhere where suffrage is agitated the
main reliance of the anus has been. THE
women don't want the vote and they won't
use il II they get it,"
California once and for all answered that
argument on November 3.
When in State with less than 100000
population, nearly 100000 men and women go
to the polls on election day and cast the larg-
est percentage of the total registration In the
whole history of the State, 1t means just one
thlng-that the women were at least as ready
as the men 10 avail themselves of the right
of suffrage. In fact we truly believe that an
investigation would show that larger per-
cetage of women than men voted at the recent
election. We trust that some of our pioneer
suffrage leaders will take enough interest in
that point TO get the actual proof. not alone
for their own satisfaction, but because the hg-
ures will be most valuable in other States
where the suffrage victory Is not yet won.
Another point discovered by those who have
been trying TO get the psychological slant of
the feminine voters mind is this Women
DON'T allow sentimentalty or intuition to guide
their voting as much II was thought they
would. or hardly at all. In fact We believe
that the average man in politics Is much more
likely TO be governed by prejudice, 10 be
swayed by personal influence, TO jump at a
conclusion, in short, to have huneh, than the
average The feminine mind wants
information. 1t seeks light II has got TO be
shown Without doubt the most intensive and
most intelligent study of the propositions sub
women. Tine California Federation OF Women's
Clubs made a special campaign for the four
referendum msasnrss-the blue sky law, the
red light abatement act, the water commits
sion act and the non-sale OF game measure
as we'll for the minimum wage amendment
and while the State vote on these measures
has not vet been complied and the vote on one
or two of them may be close, We believe that
If ali have carried that splendid result is due
largely 10 the very efficient campaign made by
the State organization Of club women. In
churches, In schools, by eircularizaton, and in
every possible way, the women gave thought
TO and spread information concerning the COM
ing election; ana Just because the average
woman had more time to give 10 thinking and
studying politics and actually did give 1t. We
believe she voted more intelgently in the
cent election than the average man
We believe, too. that the heavy negative
vote ON some measures concerning which there
Is very little difference OF opinion among intel
ligent people, was cast BY men. Your average
man when he doesn't understand proposition
votes Ne" Your average woman when she
doesn't understand doesn't vote at all And
this latter observation ACCOUNTS for the
tramaly heavy woman's vote at the recent
eleetlon--the heaviest womans vote since sur
frags came.

Europe battled, England and Germany
fighting as they think for the markets of
South America and all the undeveoped
regions of the globe, find the United States
taking advantage of their commercial stag
nation to seize their trade. Our credit has
begun to disentangle itself from warning
Europe and with its aid our manufacturers
farmers prepare to sell grain to Europe at
fancy prices. Where will the victor profit?
What About America?
OF course, it is quite necessary to ask
how America will profit, to understand it
clearly and to insure that profit reaching
the mass of the people. 1t is absurdly evil
dent that the producers of food products will
get big prices for their crops next year from
barren, hungry Europe But that is more
than likely to mean only higher prices and
less food in America; the crops cannot be
doubled at will. Manufacture can grow in
productive volume, in trade area and in
profit. II will mean larger employment for
American labor But how is American labor,
facing war prices" in fOodstuffs, to get its
share in this prosperity thrust upon us?
Will the manufacturers be wise enough and
just enough to pass on the profits In in
creased wages, or will labor unionze still
more rigidly and force share by industrial
conflict that will itself retard the progress
of American commerce while it sows bitter
seeds of social antagonsm, discomfort and
