Household Helps.

feniinism; il was Eggs" Mrs.
Happy Homemaker laughed merrily.

thing rich and strange like domes-
tic problems. and today began Il.
Il scrubbed as fast as knew
how. but | could not get all the
things Mrs. Knowles said; here are
my notes, such as they are:
The housewives all over the
4try are learning some OF the
natural laws which govern the pro-
duction OF eggs: at least learning to
associate cause and effect and SEQ
what IL means.
We always knew In a vague sort
OF way that chickens did not lay
during the months OF December,
January. and February, except un.
der extraordinary conditions OF
warmth and care.
I'VE did not stop to reason that
II this were true Il was obviously
dificult TO get fresh eggs during
those months.
''The canny egg dealer has built
his business upon these laws, how
ever. and In April AMI May, the
months Of most prolific laying, col.
lects in the storage warehouses all
over the country vast quantities of
eggs.
Now these eggs are perfectly
good eggs. They are candled when
they go into storage and when they
come out, and their condition Is as
cured.
"They are much better in many
instances than the Guaranteed
Fresh Eggs which are gathered
from all over a neighborhood by
farmers, who have no scientific
method Of preserving the eggs. and

The Confessions OF q Wife
CAN'T NAG ALL THE TIME.

Although Mollie did not speak OF
| her mother 10 me and neither has
Dick, know they are both worry
ing about getting her settled after
Mollie is married.
Dick does not dare broach the
subject TO me for fear will 40
solutely refuse To have his mother
with me--which | will.
Perhaps that Is sign that ! do
not love Dick enough, but | simply
cannot be made utterly miserable
by having someone always with me
who gets on my nerves as does
Mother Waverly.
Mollie, dear girl, will help out in
any way she possibly can, but how
10 reconcile her mother to the best
plan is the problem.
Mother Vaverly's first inclination
is TO say mo" always, no matter
what you suggest.
II is a sad commentary, little
book, on the desires and hopes OF
femininity when an old woman
must make herself undesirable and
hopeless.
So many people pity an old man
when the wife. who has lived with
him so many years, dies. They say
isn't 1t too bad that he Is left; he
was so dependent upon his wife; he
will be SO lonely" and yet | have
never seen an old man who has
seemed SO miserable and who made
those about him so unhappy as have
many OF the old women / have
known.
An old woman does not seem to
have anywhere to turn for comfort.
She does not Sven have the solace
Of tobacco, she does not enjoy the
newspapers and can seldom find
interest In reading. II she Is not
greatly engrossed In her church she
usually turns to solitaire.
or course. I am talking Of the old
women like Mother Waverly. Dear.
dear aunt Mary was never like that.
She enjoyed life and We enjoyed
her up to the very end. Mrs. Sell
win also Is more interesting to me
than any young woman I know.
But both these women think, and.
thinking, they do not make the
whole world and all the Inhabitants
thereof revoive around their little
centered selves.
Mother waverly II always un-
happy. because she IL always ask.
ing for love which. no matter how
much her son and daughter try to
deceive her into thinking they give
her. she knows she does not get.
She thinks they ought to love her
because she IL their mother. and
she will never understand that we
cannot love people for the good
they have done, we may respect
and remember kindnesses, but love
real love--must have something
to feed upon, and q very gluttonous
individual IL that little God.
I wonder IL husband ever

WOMEN IN CIVIC WORKS

The effects of the suffragist agi-
tation are to be seen on every hand,
if one is looking for them. Last
evening the Washington Chamber of
Commerce had its first ladies' night,
and wives of members were asked
to cooperate with their husbands in
the civic work being done by that
body.
Long before they were welcomed
by mems organizations, the women
had formed associations of their
own, in this and other cities, to urge
reforms and movements of commu-
nifty benefit. In Western cities wom-
en- have long been working shoulder
to shoulder with men in public ac-
tivities.
In Washington they have not been
backward, though it is only recently
that mems organizations have
thrown down the bars. Here their
most notable work has been done
through various clubs which have
accomplished municipal reforms

HEALTH IN THE SCHOOLS

Good news for those Interested in
the public schools was the intima-
tion of President Henry P. Blair, of
the Board Of Education, in a recent
address, that this years estimates
contain an item for the employment
Of physician who shall give his en-
tire time to the schools.
Physicians now employed by the
schools are paid $500 u year, and
necessarily can give only a small
share Of their time to school work.
They must depend largely upon re-
quests from teachers before they
will look into cases.
The employment of one physician
on full time is regarded as a step
ping stone to engaging full corps
OF medical inspectors. Such en-
ployes, in view of the greater stress
now being laid on sound body. are
scarcely less necessary in a school
system than teachers. The schools
have been fortunate in having at
the head of their medical corps a
physician who also is something of
a psychologist, and he has given
valuable advice regarding the mental
condition of pupils as we'll as their
physical being.
1t is conceivable that the employ
ment of an adequate corps of medi-
cal examiners would partly pay for
its maintenance in the long run.
Much of the failure of pupils in
schools is traceable directly to poor
health, and retardation of pupils
from any cause, thus prolonging
their time in school, is a costly
process.

REAL SAFETY AT SEA

1t is indicated that the Washing.
ton Administration will fatty de.
Cline to admit that dumping the
company of ship into lifeboats
many miles from land, at the mercy
OF wind and waves, is providing
them with "a place of safety" This
doctrine, if it is adhered to ripor.
ously, ought to bring an issue be.
tween the American Government
and the German and Austrian for.
eign offices. The demand for "a
place Of safety" has been violated
repeatedly since it was made, and
violated in ways--particularly in the
case of the Ancona-that have
amounted to fouting the efforts of
this Government in behalf of com.
mon humanity.
1t is true that this condition was
not laid down specifically to Austria
hungary; but it had been announced
to Germany, and announced as a
general principle to which the
United States was prepared to ad.
here. 1t is impossible for Austria
to plead ignorance of the attitude
Of the United States.
The time is at hand when there
must be at least some prospect of
issues being joined and worthwhile
assurances being received from bel
ligerents concerning their attitude
toward American terms. This coun.
try cannot permit itself much longer
to be disregarded in this matter. Ar.
btration after the war doesn't re.
store the lives rccklessly taken in
the face of protests.

MARYLAND'S MARRIAGE LAWS

AL Davis and Eugenia Kelly,
fresh from Broadway's cabaret zone,
carrying APs decree of divorce with
the ink not yet dry on it, and in
which was written a prohibition
against his remarrying in New
York, hurried away to a Maryland
village, Elkton, to be welded. The
pair had been the center of long
drawn scandal, beginning with the
girls infatuation for the dancer and
their determination to wed despite
every effort that parently opposition
and appeal to the law could inter-
pose.
Arrived in Elkton they secured
their license; Maryland having no
objection to permitting the New
York couple to wed, even though
New York forbade. Perhaps this is
good law and good social form; but
it doesn't appeal to folk with old
fashioned notions. The couple are
citizens of New York. Presumably
they will infict themselves further
on that State, as residents. 1t doesn't
want them to live there married. 1t
is not at all apparent why another
State, with no concern whatever for
the morals or proprieties involved,
should authorize, even direct, a min
lister of the gospel to perform a
wedding ceremony in such circum-
stances.
When they had secured their
Maryland license the wanderers ap-
! piled to two or three pastors of

OUR PROSPERITY RATR

Old stories of our incompatible

however often they are retold they

things than before, as dazzling in
their expanding proportions as il
they were just sprung into view be-
fore our bewildered eyS thus:

full overtime capacity are now COM

American farmers are stufIing

In four business days of this week
the exports from New York have
been more than s46,1OO,0OO, the i'm
ports little more than $4,000, 900,

our favor at this single port for

SCOTC HING THE SNAKES

We have shipped an ambassador
back to Austria for conduct fla

what is required not only by our
