FOOLS AND WOMEN.
Two Subjects Which Occupied At
tention OF Hebrew Sa2es.

Two subjects seem to have occu-
pied the attention of the Hebrew
sages to a marked degree. They are
always recurring to them. In the
midst of maxims about the conduct
of life the sage cannot forbear to take
a side swipe at fools and women. He
finds them both beyond his compre-
hension.
To get this point Of view it is
necessary to remember that there
were no asylums in the Orient. Every
village had it's imbeciles, who were
feature of the town life. The village
fool was a far more prominent per-
son in the ancient east, and forced
himself much more on public atten-
tion than the feeble minded person
of today, who usually is kept in
the background.
AS for women? Well, the ancient
world never was able to make them
out anyway. Their incessant chat
tering was evidently great annoy
lance to the solemn, white-bearded
patriarchs.
One of the most human Of the an
cient sages was the author of the
Book of Ecclesiasticus in the Apocry-
fpha, Jesus, the son of Sirach. His
book had a distinct flavor, quality
that makes it entertaining reading.
The imagination pictures him a man
of gracious dignity, reserved, serious,
taking his obligations with the grav-
ity of his race. Experience has dis
closed to him most of the mysteries
Sof the world-except women.
"a daughter" he confesses, ''is
secret cause of wakefulness to
father, and the care of her putteth
away Sleep" That seems to have
been the general attitude of the sages
toward the feminine aspect of affairs.
He enlarges on the subject in another
place:
Sss 81 will rather dwell with lion
and a dragon than keep house with
q wicked woman. The wickedness
Sof a woman changeth the look and
darkeneth her countenance as bear
doth. Her husband shall sit at meat
among his neighbors, and when he
heareth it he sigheth bitterly. All
malice is but little to, the malice of
woman; let the portion of sinner
fall on her. AS the going up san
dy way is to the feet of the aged, so
isa wife full of words to quiet man.
I A wicked woman is abasement of
heart, and sadness of countenance,
and wounded heart. A woman that
will not make her husband happy is
as hands that hang down, and palsled
knees. From woman was the be-
ginning of sin, and, because of her,
we. all die. A silent woman is a gift
sos the Lord
ss The "wickedness' to which much
exception was taken seems to have
been contentiousness. The wise man
or the East, desirous of leading a
contemplative life, was simply worn
ito death by an ill-tempered, talkative
wife. That was why silent woman
was a gift of the Lord. The only bit
sof conversation on the part of Soc
rates with Xantippe that is recalled
lis the word, Hush! kansas City

rector OF the mint Dy washington OH
July 1, 1892. The building opera
ton was started soon afterwards.
Three coming presses, imported from
Europe, arrived in Philadelphia on
September FL, and in October they
were in operation. =
On December 80, 1892, Jefferson
wrote Pinckney, our minister to Eng
land, about the difficulty in procuring
copper, and suggested Sweden as a
source of supply, and enclosed draft
on the treasury of the United States
for $4,000. The regular coinage
of copper began in 1893, silver in
1871 and gold in 1895. The follow
ing curious extracts are taken from
the mint rules and regulations of the
early days:
''The allowance under the name of
drink money is hereafter to be dis
continued.
"The operations of the mint
throughout the year are to commence
at o'clock in the morning.
HE (the watchman) will keep in
a proper chest, securely locked, a
musket and bayonet, two pistols and
a sword.
':Christmas day and the fourth of
July-and no other days-are estab-
lished holidays at the mint.
''The watchman must attend from
o'clock in the evening to in the
morning; must ring the yard bell
every hour, and send the watchdog
through the yard Immediately after
ringing the bell"
At first there was more or less
criticism about the conduct of the
mint. which Mr.. Boudinot explained
was due to trouble in getting compe-
tent workmen, proper materials and
strong apparatus.
During the latter part of 1877 it
became very apparent that the out
put of the mint was not sufficient for
the needs of the country, and for
eign coins were necessarily continued
as legal tender, despite legislation to
the contrary.
In 1898 the salaries of the mint
employees were as follows: David
Rittenhouse, director, $4,000 per an
mum; Tristan Dalton, treasurer, ST.
200; Henry Voight, coiner, $1,000;
Isaac Hugh, clerk, 1912.
The operations of the mint were
suspended at different times because
of yellow fever epidemics, and this
in connection with the scarcity OF
metal and a fire at the mint and the
use of coins for purely commercial
purposes by coppersmiths, silver
smiths and other tradesmen, accounts
for the scarcity of certain coins made
at ''ye olde mint under great disad.
| vantage.
After the old buildings on the street
had outgrown their usefulness, the
Philadelphia mint was moved tc
Chestnut and Juniper streets, and
less than a score of years ago to pala'
tial quarters at 18th and Spring Gar,
den streets.

Charging the committee of railroad
managers with deliberate attempt
to deceive the public, Frank P. Walsh
today issued statement repudlatlng
and denouncing the use of the name
of the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations in connection
wit hthe distribution of pamphlet
attacking the eight-hour movement OF
the railroad brotherhoods.
The pamphlet is entitled "Wagfes
and Hours of Railroad Employees "
and is by Luke Grant, who is design
ated on the cover and again on the
title page as Special Agent for the
United States Industrial Commission. ;"
After characterizing Grants discus
sion of the eight-hour movement of
the Brotherhoods as a skillful piece
of special pleading, in which facts are
distorted for the evident purpose of
prejudicing the public against the
men, Mr.. Walsh says:
"Grant is not an agent of the Indus

was well known to the railroad man.

BABY WEEK

Plans for the nationwide Baby
Week proposed by the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs for March to
II have extended zeyond the United
States. A Woman's club in the Brit
ish West Indies has just written to
the Federal Children's bureau for in
formation about what Baby Week
means and expects to initiate local
campaign. Several Canadians have
been heard from, too including the
Saskatchewan commissioner of public
health.
The Philippines will take part in
the celebration1f the plan Of Manila
Woman's Club is carried out. By spe-
cial request the Children's Bureau has
sent it's Baby Week bulletin to Val
DEE and Nome in Alaska and to two
of the Indian reservations in western
States.
THE local plans for Baby Week vary
in the 2O29 communities from which
the Children's bureau has had inquir-
les. For instance, Wisconsin has mi
tiated a statewide campaign in which
special emphasis is placed on adequate
nursing care and instruction for pros
pective mothers. In Bebraska, a child
welfare exhibit is being prepared by
the women's clubs of Omaha and Lin
coin which will travel about among
the clubs throughout the state after
the Baby Week in those two cities is
over. One own in Maryland which is
going to have birth registration day
announces that an enterprising mer-
chant has promised to give atooth
brush to every mother who goes to the
City Hall to ind out whether her ba-
by's birth is registered. Another com
munity is having a composition for
the cleverest window plan for Baby
Week publicity.

There. ale 1921 communities consid-
ering some preparation for Baby
IlWeek, according to the inquiries re-
ceived by LIE Children's Bureau Of
the U. S. Department OF Labor. This
number does not include those of
whose interest IN the campaign word
has come to the Bureau indirectly.
The letters about Baby Week are
still coming in from every State in
the Union and from every type of
community, such as a Colorado set
clement forty miles from a railroad,
a club OF women on one Of the Gov
eminent reclamation projects, Mon
lana coal mining town with a large
Foreign population, "a southern mill
village, and club of farm women in
middle western State.
Texas has it's own Baby Week Slo-
gan-Baby Health is Texas Wealth.
and Mississippi has started compe-
tlt1on to secure slogan for that State.
North Dakota reports plans for a
State wide essay contest in the pub
lie schools. In few State campaigns
the State Federation of Women's
Clubs, the State University Extension
Department, the State Health officials
and those who are especially interest
ed in education are all cooperating
in the Baby Week campaign.
Many large cities are going to have
a Baby Week. Definite plans are un-
der way in Albany, Baltimore, Boston,
Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis,
Philadelphia, Richmond, San Francis
co, Washington and other cities. New
York had a successful Baby Week in
1914 and will probably hold another
this year in the late spring.
In its suggestions for Baby Week
observance the Children's Bureau lays
special emphasis on the opportunity
it affords for extending permanent
work for infant welfare, such as infant
welfare stations, visiting nursing, spe-
cial nursing and instruction for pros
pective mothers, city inspections Of
milk, special work for the prevention
of blindness, and little mothers class
es and home nursing instruction for
school girls in the upper grades.
