KA|SEB'S Throne
IN THE BALANCE
Unless He Dismisses ChanceI-
Ior Kaiser May be Forced
To Abdioate =

CoPENHAGEN. May la 1.-THE
South German Gazette. the organ OF
the conservatives. suggests sending a
deputation to the kaiser with warn.
ing that his throne is in danger nm.
less he dismisses the chancellor.
Where will Hindenhury raise the
fallen kaiser's banner again and de
fend the rights of the throne?" cried
Prince Salm Horstmor in the Prussian
house of lords. The prince is president
OF the German Naval league, and one
OF the war horses of the conservative
old guard.
The Gazette's suggestions Is taken
up by the Kfeuz-zeitung, representing
the Prussian iunketers and military
aristocracy. The Deutsche Tages.
Zeitung, and the reichstag, other con.
servative papers echo the cry that the
Hohenzollerin throne is tottering un.
less new chancellor comes to sup
press the reform movement by an iron
hand.
Despite this the position of the chan
cellor is strong and there is no In
dication that the emperor's confidence
is shaken in him.

CLING TO THE
GOOD OLD WAYS

| Women who Just love to cook"
often lust hate to wash dishes" And
, no man blames them.
! Domestic science teachers have in.
vented new methods OF dishwashing
which are shorter and easier than "the
way mother did" but really intelligent
women fail to adopt them. There are
no stronger human traditions than
those which govern good housekeep-
ing"
The most sanitary way of washing
dishes takes the dish towel out of the
kitchen. In the best-equipped hotels
and hospitals dishes are sterilized by
steam and dried without handling.
The nearest approach TO this meth.
od in the average kitchen is TO wash
the dishes with plenty of clean hot
water hot water, stack them on edge
In wire basket, pour n kettle OF boil
ing water over them and set them
aside to drain dry.
But the feminist who abolishes the
dishcloth from her kitchen too fre.
quently Is sharply denounced by all
the conscientious good" housewives
of her neighborhood.
II takes IA woman OF courage and
daring To adopt any innovation in do.
nestle management as opposed to in.
herited practice.
II take woman with the faith of
Aladdin to buy n small mangle which
will do up" the bed linen and other
fiat work of a weeks wash in 80 min
utcs
Women think Aladdin credulous
rather than imaginative. This ac-
counts for their Indifference to wash.
ing machines which loosen the dirt
by steam instead of hand rubbing, and
TO vacuum cleaners which collect the
dust from carpets instead of redis.
tributing IT about the room by the an.
cient sweeping process.
But labor.saving machines cost too
much explains the housekeeper.
On the other hand. it may be argued
that laborsaving devices which will
wear ten years cost less than dresses
which will be out of fashion and dis.
cardcd in three months; and that the
use of such conveniences will do away
with the half. educated maid altogeth.
er by enabling the housewife to do her
own work. This will soon be the only
solution OF the servant problem IL
manufacturing conditions continue to
attract woman's labor to the shop and
factory.
OF course Saving herself" by any
process, has never been part of the
average woman's theory OF duty Tn.
less she can complain every night that
she has tired herself out In the sery.
ice Of her dear ones. she feels that she
has somehow failed rs wife and
mother.
This, too, IL an old lamp" which
ought TO be snapped for new one
