Mr. Bryan hurts his digestion by eating three pieces
of custard pie in order to get the necessary amount Of

We ask Mr. Bryan consider the interesting fact that

And in the United States among those that in the Bryan

Light wine diluted for the Latin race light beer SO per
cent water for the beer drinking will solve the problem

Icewater, and unlimited slabs of cusard pie with the

Elizabeth JOrdan'S Article on
Helping the Husband
It's a Wife's Duty to Help All She Can.
By beth Jordan.

TINE following letter sets
forth a problem which
many women who read
The Washington Times are
asking me to discuss:
Dear Miss Jordan-I am a mar
ried woman with one child, a lit
tie daughter, who is away at
school. Before / married l was a
professional woman, earning a
good income.
My husband is a young lawyer.
He earns an excellent income. but
this year We are forced to use
all Of it for mere living expenses.
l would like TO return TO my pro-
fession and earn some money.
Would be justified in doing so,
or would such action make our
friends criticise me and my hus-
band? II + p
Your particular problem, II. F. P,
seems to me very simple one. If
the present high cost of living
forces you to spend all your hus-
band earns, 1t is your-duty to help
him in every way you can-frst.
certainly, by economy at home.
and. second, probably, by your
earning capacity. as you have one.
wish you had told me your pro-
fession. But the chances are that,
whatever II may be, you can re-
enter 1t at this particular time
without displacing another worker,
for our professional fields, like
other fields. are full OF the shell
holes OF war.
l am assuming, of course, that
your work will not cause you to
neglect your home, your husband.
or your little girl. | am also as
Stunning that you can add the work
to your domestic obligations with
out too much sacrifice of time and
nervous strength.
| am ignoring the possible criti-
cism Of your friends for two rea-
sons. The first is that your real
friends would understand and
would not criticize. The second is
that the criticisms of US made by
others do not count unless they
are justified.
If they are justified we must
heed them, because then we learn
from them. But aside from this
the comments our acquaintances
make on our actions are among the
least important things in life.
Where the Suffrage Lenders Like
10 Spend Their Evenings
You will observe that | empha-
size the fact that you are merely
adding your professional work to
your present obligations. You are
not dropping those obligations.
Also that you must be able to take
these on without excessive nervous
strain.
The theory that housekeeping
takes all a wife's time was long
since disproved. It takes a sur
prisingly small part OF her time
if she can hire the routine work

WHERE'S THE COALi

A week ago Washington was
led to believe by the coal ad-
ministration that there would be
plenty Of coal. Part Of this fake
was accomplished by the an
nouncement Of further high-titled
officials. Later called on the
fuel administration to name the
dealers who have the coal, and
JESSE c. SUTER, Of that admin
istration, sneered at the editorial
as being oVerdrawn. A reporter
then went out and offered the
leading coal men-1o1 Of them,
twenty dollars a ton for coal and
could get none.
Then L. A. SNEAD. Of the fuel
administration. said the dealers
were mostly SMALL MEN.
Is this an official admission
that the fuel administration is
working only for THE BIG MEN?
All Washington wants Is coal,
and less official four-hushing.

Do We Fool AnyOnei
What's the matter with the
business man who took up your
whole time at dinner yesterday
telling you about the big deal he
is going to put over this week?
He had a telegram from Rookie
feller-why, he must have left it
in his other coat Too bad! He
would have liked to have you
know what a good fellow John D.
really is when you know him. And
the message he had from Judge
Gary, of the Steel trust-it would
have done your heart good to see
it-so straightforward and plain.
Why, Gary is as plain as an old
shoe when you're intimate with
him. No, he never did care for
Russell Sage. He knew him well,
of course, but-a-he had peculiar
ways. Now the Vanderbilts are
different. They're all business;
nothing slow about them.
Was he really trying to get
something out of you by all this
talk? Does he intend to ask your
father for a job and could he think
perhaps something you could say
might-not bit of it, He has a
job of his own, quite a simple,
plain, practical job, without the
shadow of single great financier
anywhere near it. He's Just cam
ouflaging, that's all.
He likes to hear himself talk,
and to watch you listen.

uOne. In tnlS case she can give to
her outside work the hours her
husband spends in his office and
her children spend In school. And
when they come home she is there,
ready for them.
Sometimes, Of course, they could
not be there. Special evening du-
ties came up. And toward the
end of the campaign these duties
were imperative. But it was tao
lilly understood that, whenever 1t
was practicable, the evening
speeches for the Liberty loan and
for suffrage should be made by in
dependent spinsters, such as my
self, while the married women
foregathered with their families.
This significant fact is one of
the best answers that can be given
to the repeated charge that public
work will lure woman from the
hearthstone. Instead, it gives the
hearthstone a new value. 1t makes
1t a resting-place for all the men,
bers of the family, instead of for
all save one.
The problems of many married
women are much less simple than
that of H. F. P. They, if they
work outside the home, cannot re-
place themselves there with eff
cient workers. Efficient workers
get high wages-higher than ever
beforehand it is right that they
should, for they earn them.
Outside Work Often in Vain When
Results Are Studied.
What the wage-earning married
woman sometimes fails to realize
is that she often does her outside
work in vain; that what she
brings in is not a fair equivalent
for the slipshod service or neglect
this work may entail at home.
To sum up, the housemother
must look at her problem this way:
First-If she has small children
she is more valuable at home than
she is anywhere else. Her children
need her and no one can take her
place with them.
Second-If her children are al
school and her husband is away
during the day she can give those
hours to outside work by having
her Homework done.
Third-If she has a large earn
ing capacity she can show bal
ance on the right side OF the ledg-
err. If she earns only a small
amount she cannot. In other
words, the experiment is not worth
while.
Fourth-The average woman can
earn more at home by wise market
ing and by eliminating waste than
she can earn outside the nome.
In all this, Of course we are as
suming that the woman mas a
choice-that her outside work Is
voluntary. And in making ner de-
cisIon she must never forget one
fact:
Her husband may prefer a wife
and companion to a larger income.
n he does-why. then, OF course.
the vile has no problem at all.

You pronounce it so that
it sounds like the rattle Of mus

your fare when you were too long

or you make it sound just as the

cream and sugar and meltingness.
C-a-m-o-u-f-l-a-g-e-which way do
you pronounce It?
There's nothing new in camou-

what to call it before.
Bluff? No, that's a little too
sturdy. Pretense? That's a little
too serious. Front? That's a bit
too flaming. No, camoufiage it is,
and camouhage It will be for the
next generation or two.
Deceit? Why, the idea! It's
nothing in the world like it.

they were silk all the way through

Why did you want her to believe
that? Oh, Just because-not for
any particular reason. You didn't

marry him under the impression
