WHAT EVERY HOUSEWIFE
KNOWS.

Most homeworkers who are per-
forming their own daily tasks have
gained whatever technical knowledge
they possess from their own expert
enees or from the experiences OF their
mothers or their friends"
These words are quoted from the
report made by the National Society
for the Promotion OF Industrial Edu-
cation OF the University of Minnesota.
The report is the result of thorough
Investigation and study Of the prob
lem of housework and the house
worker, carried on by this society
eish view of learning the practica-
biiity Of general instruction on the
terhnieaIities of housework.
II is rather interesting question,
this question OF where the homework
er gains her knowledge of the teehni-
csiities of housework. 1t IS an inter
esting question for every woman who
docs part or all of her own house
work to ask herself.
Undoubtedly great deal is usually
handed down from mother to daugh-
ter, and certain traditions of house
work, certain little ways of doing
things have been passed down by
what our scientific friends would call
-oral tradition" for many generations.
For almost every housewife has some
little peculiar knacks of her own

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January 23-Mary Ward.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Mary Ward, founder of a Roman
Catholic order modelled on the Jesuits,
was born three hundred and thirty-one
years ago today in England. Her parents
were deyout Roman Catholics. but never
thsless they opposed her desire for a
religious life. She was beautiful young
woman and had many admirers and
friends. but in spite OF all other attrac-
tions and objections she entered the order
Of ST. Clare when she was twenty-one.
During her novitiate IL was her duty
to collect funds from the townspeeple.
and although she performed her work
conscientiously, she never liked II. for
she desired greater solitude and more
time for religious contemplation. So she
left the order. resolved on founding one
quite to her. own taste. Finally she
obtained, in spite Of opposition within
and without the church. land and tenn
porary building at st. Omer, where she
established an order, with rules founded
on those of the Society of Jesus. 1t was
partly as the result of a wonderful re-
coyery from serious Illness. in 1911. when
she thought she was directed to adopt
the Jesuit rules, that the final working
out OF her orders policy was done.
Mary Ward was always the object OF
criticism and opposition. 1t was not until
ls77. almost three hundred years after
her birth. that hsr order was ftaally
sans Timed hX Pope Plus TX Thonghout
her lifetime she had fairly to fight for its
life. She was finally allowed to establish
a convent in Rome fer observation, and
after the period of observation the order
was permitted existence. but II often
came into conflict with ecclesiastical
authority. and its founder passed some
time in prison. O.
A manuscript life Of Mary Ward exists
in both Italian and German, and in
English and French there are printed
biographies. There are also in existence
fifty paintings in oil depicting her life.

testing the heat of flatiron, for in
stance-that she clings to simply be-
cause that was the way her mother
performed those tasks. And her moth
er, in turn. did these things in this
way because that was the way her
mother did them. And so on, we
might carry the tradition to Colonial
days. if we could but delve into the
secrets of the past.
Then. OF course, you learn great
deal from your friends. For women
who do housework are perhaps more
liberal in showing their methods to
each other than are men engaged in
similar lines of business enterprise.
So far the report from Minnesota
seems to cover the ground. But the
report did not say anything. appar-
entity. about the fund of technical
knowledge of housekeeping that TIE
average housewife gains from news
papers, magazines, pamphlets - in
short, from the printed word.
In our opinion, it seems that this
source of information is of very wide
extent, for under this head you have
to include not only the departments
of the newspapers and magazines de-
voted to the science of houscwork,
but also advertisements making
new methods Of doing this work, such
as electrical and mechanical appli-
ances that have so greatly modified
housework within the last generation.
And you must. also, include the print

ed instructions that come with va
rious implements. of honsework and
articles of.food.
Ask yourself why you no longer
dust with a feather duster. as your
mother used to. but instead insist on
having all the busting done with a
cloth partly moist? If your memory
is long enough you will recall that it
is because you read an article in your
favorite household magazine that con-
vinced you that old-fashioned dry
busting only scattered the dust and
spread disease germs.
Ask yourself where you got that
recipe for beef stew that makes such
delicious dish at such small ex-
pense! That was from one Of the
government bulletins on economical
ways of preparing food; and you read
that such bulletin could be obtained
from the Department of Agriculture
through the columns of the morning
paper. And it was from the morning
paper, too. that you read about the
new bread mixers that save you SO
much time on baking day. And your
rule for making biscuits, that is so
much simpler than the one that moth
er gave you, you got from can of
baking powder.
So. isn't it true that quite as much
as from tradition and from the words
of your friends You have derived
your technical knowledge of house
work from the printed wordi

see hat just like the one you bought
In New York. only when you bought
yours in New York you paid s25 for
it and the one in the window, you
find out, is priced s19. And those new
neck things that the New York shop
keeper told you he had just that very
morning unpacked from a case from
Paris. You go down to Seventh street
and you find some hundred like them
Only you paid $2sS for yours in New
York and at Seventh street they are
selling them for sl.7s ~
This doesn't mean that we don't
want you to come to New York. OF
course We do. and there Is lots we can
show you. We can show you some of
the most completely torn up streets in
the country and introduce you to some
OF the most compact little crowds you
could dream Of, We can show you
things that are pleasant, too. The opera
is-aa~ays worth while, and=there' are
lots of new pictures IN the art gal
leries that you really ought to see
The hotels, too, are always a little
different from what they were the time
before you were here. The Fifth ave-
nue. shop windows are worth looking
at. You'n see lot of wonderful
gowns and hats there that you
wouldn't dream Of wearing even IL
you had the money to pay for them.
But when you see anything you want
to buy. just make a little note of 1t
on that little book that you keep in
your silver-or is 1t gold-mesh bag
and wait. Wait till you get back to
Washington and then go buy IT.

a Terrific DOwnpOur OF an Hour
Bursts The Sewers and

In one hour Sunday afternoon two and
one-half inches of water fell in Waynes-
boro.
A coudburst broke over Waynesboro
between one and two O'Clock Sunday
afternoon and to say it rained in torrents
does not even feebly describe the pheno-
menon. 1t just came down in mighty
cataract, as though Niagara had been
for the moment transferred to point
Immediately over Waynesboro. 1t rain
ed hard for a full hour.
At the Public Square the flood was
within an inch or two of being over the
trolley tracks. The water damned back
from the sewer, over-ran the side walks
at the Bank of Waynesboro and the Bes-
ore property to the depth of eighteen
inches and for several hours it was i'm
possible to cross at the North and South
Church street intersections. AT corner
of Potomac and West Main the condi-
tons were the same.
Another very hard storm came be-
tween four and five O'Clock, but this did
not cause an overflow of the sewer out
let's. Accompanying the latter storm
there was fierce lightning and thunder.
