Women and Dishraos.

When q woman declares that she
"feels like disllrag," she is dragging
herself down to the lowest level in
still life. We doubt not from the per.
sOnal appearance of that handy arti-
Gle of domestic utility that If any life
existed ut all in said rag it could not
possibly fall lower or feel meaner.
However, woman should never offer
herself in comparison with SO degrad-
cd an object. for the simple reason
that mankind spurns the dishrag most
vtheInently. and as woman exists SOLE
ly for man she should not seek to low
er herself in his esteem. When q rag
takes up its duties In the dishpan it
has reached the tag end of abandoned
hope, the climax perhaps of u merry
life. But 1t Is not of its past that Z
speak. 1t Is Of Its present social stand
ing. It's vulgar environments and its
utter self-abandonment. IT'S true that
you may feel fatigued to q limp and
loppy degree, but never can you feel
SO utterly wretchcd and beyond re.
demption as dishrag !-"Zim," in Car.
tOons Magazine.

Old Mrs. Susan jenkins murder had
Mortified the town. Suspicion pointed
ut once to Frank Jenkins, her nephew,
who, after being repeatedly cut off and
reinstated in the old lady's will, had
disappeared from the scene for sew.
eral years until the week before.
Frank Jenkins struck me as weak
! rather than criminal. I could not see
him numbering his aunt in cold blood.
But sentiment was strongly against
him. His only friend was Mabel Arm
strong, who had helped keep the ne'er-
do-well as straight as it was possible
for him to 60.
The evidence seemed extremely
strong. Frank had been living with
his aunt for week. The old woman,
who was. irascible, had threatened
him again with the loss of her prop
erty. So much Jad, the Polish farm
hand, had volunteered through an in
terpreter. Jad was sullen, ungainly
lout, who could not speak a word of
English. He had been employed about
three weeks and had come from an
immigrant bureau.
The Reeses, who lived next door,
had heard cries during the night. but
had thought the old lady was merely
angry and scolding her nephew. AT
six In the morning Frank had burst
into their home, shouting that his aunt
had been murdered. She had been
! strangled with a piece of tape. and
there were signs of struggle in her
room. She clutched lock of hair in
her hand. 1t was obviously Franks
hair. The boy was arrested as soon
as the police came on the scene.

 ously as their means permit. and their
 hearts to the work of child welfare in home, church. school and state. We fur nish free all the literature that is re- quired for those interested and a national office at Washington with clerical help is maintained for this purpose. A corre- spondence school is conducted whereby
 graduates may get their certificates, and only wish you could realize what this
 has meant to the rural mothers, many of whom are not within 10 miles of a church or school and have had to conduct emergency schools for their children. The school is the unit after all through which we hope to accomplish the most satisfac- tory work, the mother in the school as well as the child, each learning the oth- CTS needs and each giving aid when it is required The National Congress of
 Mothers believes that it is worth while to have a part in saving the lives of hun
 mothers the chance to know how to take the care that will let them live. We be- lieye it is worth while that child should have a good solid moral foundation with which to enter upon life's duties and we believe it is worth while to have a part
 in making the mothers pension universal, so that when the fathers death leaves a mother with the sole responsibility of a family, she may keep them together and be their guardian and guide rather than to scatter them among strangers and make them orphans indeed"

 Mrs. Birney was a young mother her self, and did not know anything of motherhood--a deficiency that is so frequent and always has been among girls Mrs. Schoff said. ''She did not know where to turn for information on this subject; there was no organization that exactly supplied the knowledge that she wished to secure; so she took it upon herself to organize and pro- mote what today is one of the most able organizations in the world in it's relation to motherhood. By the time we are 21 years of age. next year, we want to have every state in the union actively engaged in the work; already we have all but six states.
 Tt would seem as if colleges and uni versailles would establish a chair of train ing for mothers in the large institutions over the country I suggested.
 Many of them are doing so now" was the reply. Commissioner Claxton some time ago requested Dr. Andrews of Co., lumbia university and myself to furnish him with data as to just what was needed along those lines. so that he could pass the data on to college and university

First, it is for the study of child nurture and home making by pa rents; second, to learn the work the schools are doing and give the intelli- gent cooperation of the homes with the school; third, the study of conditions affecting children in a community That these movements are worth while is proved by the work done, and that they have place to fill and are of use and must be supported by those who are helped by them and who are interested in their objects and work
