London, March 5.--The submafsne
U.29, one of the largest and fastest
of German underwater craft, has had
a successful three days off the ScilIy
Islands and in the English Channel.
where on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday she sank four British steamers
and one French steamer and damaged
three others.
The u 20 was chased by patrol
boats. but proved too elusive, while
steamers which tried to ram OF es-
cape her found the submarine was
much faster than similar craft which
previously had been preying on Great.

With a German submarine in tire
waters around the Scilly Islands,

way across the Atlantic, much IN
easiness is felt in shipping circles

liner New York by wireless, was

there Is really no reason why a cold

In fact the chances are really equal.
The real cause OF cold catching lies In
the fact that for the greater part of the

so many knives, for she is in reality the
most generous soul alive. She would like
to be free handed. Also. being a woman
and young and good looking. she would
like to have pretty clothes, and to go to
the places of amusement whose doors
she never enters because she cannot af-
ford to spend a cent on self-indulgence.
And the reason why?
This girls mother, without perhaps
realizing what a crime she is committing,
is deliberately making her daughter a
slave to support three lazy brothers. And
many other mothers are doing the same
thing.
In this particular home not a dollar
comes into, 1t that is not earned by the
girl. She pays the rent, and for the light
the heat, and the food. The mother has
no income and furnishes nothing, yet
she persists in thinking of the home as
her home and says, that while 1 have
roof over my head my boys shall have a
place to stay"
Every morning the girl gets up early
and goes to work, leaving her three able
bodied brothers calmly snoring, secure
that. when they choose to arise, along to-
ward noon, that mother will have some
special dainty prepared for them. And
mother thinks that this is all right She
makes a thousand excuses for their idle
ness, and considers that her daughter is
very mean and hard-hearted when she
objects to supporting a bunch of idlers
and would like some of the money that
she earns to spend upon herself.
And the girl is helpless because she
wants to take care of her mother and
she can't take care of mother without
mother supporting her good-for-nothing
sons.
Of course this girl, and every other
woman who supports strong, healthy
man, is an easy mark that the fool killer
will assuredly get some fine day. She
gets neither thanks nor ha'pence, for
the man who deliberately sits down and
let's woman take care of him is invari-

ably yellow cur that bites the hand that |
feeds him.
Therefore, ] would advise this young
woman and every one confronted with
the same problem to simply shut the
doors on their loafiug brothers. and force
them to go to work. In that way they
will not only rid themselves of a burden
that they are under no obligation TO bear.
but will do the one thing that is possible
to make a self-respecting and decent man
out of an idler.
Laziness Is a disease that requires
heroic remedies to cure. and the best
antidote for it over devised is simply to
chuck a man out into the world where he
must either work or starve Hunger has
done more to allay that tired feeling with
which so many men are born than any
other one thing in the world
AS long as a loafer knows that he's got
a warm place to sit good bed TO sleep
in and three square meals a day to eat
he isn't going to wear himself out look
ing for work. and he's going to be mighty
particular about the sort OF Job he
takes. But il he knows that only his
own labor stands between him and want,
he'll get right down TO the real pursuit
OF job, and in work he'll find the indie
pendonce that makes him man.
The case of this girl who is forced by
her mother to support her three lazy
brothers is not an isolated one. have
known many other such ones myself, and
| get hundreds of letters from working
girls telling exactly the same story and
making the same complaint. They love
their mothers they feel a high sense of
Int nd HnCtV 30
with their parents, out they fell it a
hardship that they have to support
brothers far more able to work than
| they are.
These girls are right. 1t is most
! cruelty unjust that their mothers should
rob them OF their hardeaned wages to
give the money to tr1fling and often
| drunken sons, and the girls should have
the courage to rebel and refuse to sub
nit to such treatment. The one who
earns the money that supports a home
is in law the head Of it, and the girl
who pays the bills has a right to say
who shall live in that home and eat
the food that she buys. Certainly no
sister is under any obligation to slave
herself to death to buy whiskey and
cigarettes for an idle man, even though
he is mothers darling and mother
thinks that she ought to.
1t is a strange perversity of mother
love that makes a woman willing to
sacrifice her daughters to her sons but
that appears to be the way that nature
built a mothers heart. When a girl goes
to work mother thinks that she should
turn over her pay envelope to her. and
that she should help with the homework
/ when she is at home, but she never
dreams of her son turning over his pay
envelope to her or doing the dishes after
supper. and If he even pays his board
she goes about braggng about what a
| good boy he is. Gee -.4.s.-
| But because mother is willing to sup
port her loafing sons is no reason why
Sister Susie should, and IL Sister Susie
