manded such a following in an equal

The vote did not show the fitness
of women for suffrage. but the fitness
OF men to decide the greatest issue

AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON WOMAN
ONE STYLE FOR FIVE YEARS.

"Men can do this. Why cannot
women" asks Miss Helen Louise
Johnson, chairman of the home eco
nomics committee of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs of
Pittsburgh when making plea for
the adoption of one style of street
dress for women that will last for FIVE
years.
The answer obviously is: "But
women can"
Assuredly there is nothing to pre-
vent, is there?
Miss Johnson further urges that
his fve-year street dress should not
look conspicuous by reason of its cut.
Well, that is quite possible, too. 1t is
not difficult to imagine a tailored,
two-piece suit built on conservative
lines five years ago that with only
slight alteration might still be worn
without looking conspicuous by rea-
son of its cut, though there is hard
I'd of some fabric of iron, that such
L garment would look decidedly con-
spicuous by reason of its raggedness.
Even men, whose independent at
.itude with regard to clothes Miss
Johnson seems so greatly to covet, do
not normally wear one suit for five
years.
There arc, to be sure, disadvan-
sages in our present system OF rapid
" changing styles, but the fact re-
mains that no woman is at all bound
to pursue the style. Miss Johnson
Tears, apparently, that she will look
conspicuous if she wears old-fashion-
ID styles. While as a matter OF fact
the reason why fashion leaders dread
10 wear clothes not in advance of
fashion is apparently that they might
not look conspicuous.
There are so many useful and nee
.ssary causes Of reform nowadays
that really it seems little far-fetch-

wills of the present system OF fash
ions, when as a matter of fact there

EARN THEIR CROSSES
WRITER TELLS OF BRAVERY OF
GERMAN FIELD COOKS.
Are Held Responsible for Feeding the
Men In the Trenches, and Well
and Nobly They Are Doing
Their Duty.

There isn't anything heroic about
cooks" writes Herbert Corey to the
New York Globe, and when things go
wrong one either apprehends a cook
as chasing waiter with bread knife
or giving way to tears" Yet the Ger
man army contains many a cook whose
expansive apron is decorated with the
iron cross. And the iron Cross" Mr..
Corey reminds us, is conferred for
one thing only-for 100 per cent cour-
age" The writer tells an interesting
tale:
They've ear ned it, said the man
who had seen them. They are the
bravest men in the kaiser's four mill
lions. I've seen generals salute greasy,
paunchy, sour-looking army cooks.
The cooks job is to feed the men
of his company. Each German com
pany is followed or preceded by a field
kitchen on wheels. Sometimes the fires
are kept going while the device
trundles along. The cook stands on
the footboards and thumps his bread.
He is always the first man up in the
morning and the last to sleep at night.
The Teuton believes in plenty OF food
of a sort. A well-fed soldier will
fight. A hungry one may not.
when the company gets into camp
at night said the man who knows,
the cook is there before 1t, swearing
at his fires and the second cook. and
turning out quantities of a depressing
looking veal stew, which is, neverthe-
less. very good TO eat
