Donald asserts is growing obvious to all but the stupid est of the Bourbons: Britain will be much more radical country after the war. The common people will come to their own- The artistocracy of birth having been outgrown. the more vul- gar aristocracy of money or of poli- tical privilege will have to make way for the aristocracy of character and of public service.
 When the conflict of brute forces shall have been ended the longer. more revolutionary. and more irresistible conflict of world ideas will have only begun. In what world conflict the Bourbons, no matter what their race or their flag or their continent, are the people who will not learn.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT.
LYRIC

Playwrights for years have devoted their efforts towards plays were based on the External Triangle" be- lieving that the public was more in- ferested in seeing what the other fel- low would do where he was confront ed with a choice between two women. This plan of the men who write our plays has borne fruit, as evidenced by the many plays that have had the theme, written around the Triangle" each having achieved success.
 The Triangle" was the natural so- luticn when Carl Mason started in 10 write what has proven to be one of his greatest successes, "The Other Wife, which will be presented by the Poli Players at the Lyric theatre next week.
 The author has skilfully arranged his Characters so that they are well known in everyday life. And the sit- nations that are encountered by the Characters, their method of procedure in getting out of the difficult posi- lions in which they are placed, tends to make up a dramatic success that is without peer in the realms of the Theatrical world.
 The Other Wife' is a play that will be sure to please the many pat rons of the Lyric, as the plot is of the nature that is bound to win approval, and the climax, which only comes with the final curtain, sends you home feeling that one half of the world does not know how theo ther half lives.

ALL MOTHERS
 MUST SUPPORT EACH OTHER
American Mothers Must Help Those of Foreign
 Birth to Understand War

That the mothers of the country will stand together and be source of strength to each other is the statement made by Dr. Kate Waller Ban cit of the Mothers Congress. She insists that the American mother must help the foreign born American mother to understand the reasons for the war. 1.-The foreign mother can not support her boy at the front, un- less she understands what he is fight ing for" says Dr. Barrett, chairman of the Immigration committee of the National Council of Women.
 @The foreign mother in America, unable to understand English has come to this country to be at peace, and she is left in a chaotic state when her sons are drafted to fight for their new country. She cannot read the newspapers or talk to American Wom- en, except through her children as interpreters. As she cannot under stand the reasons for this war she becomes rebellious, and her feeling is communicated to her son in the train ing camp" She must be educated in the causes of the war;
 Dr. Barrett urges American moth CTS to feel solidarity with the Americanized mother of other na- tions. s'The soldier is dependent upon the feeling in his home for his own attitude of mind. She says, 1.-The Mothers Congress is doing a great work by holding meetings in many cities, to explain war measures, and develop the patriotism of the bewil- dered foreign women. We mothers must stand together" .-

(By Martha Bensley Bruere)

ITO get food for her family is no problem at all for a farmers wife" a woman wrote me from the rich bot tom lands of Missouri, and when she wrote it. four years ago, 1t was true.
 Food is still not a terribly serious problem for the woman who has a garden if she considers it from the purely personal standpoint of feeding Iler own family. But if she can see it us her great opportunity for service, it is very big problem indeed.
 When the women in New York state were officially registered by the eovernment at the same time that the registration of the voters was taken, they were required to say what ser vices out of a given list they we're able to p6rform for the country. It was appalling to find how few of the things that they knew anything about were wanted Now, however, the tide has turned and the things woman can learn how to do are exactly those which are most needed. For on the orgsnization and distribution of the food supply hangs the outcome of the war, and at one time or another nine tenths of that supply passes through our hands.
 The city woman's food problem has always been serious one, not be- cause there has not been a sufficient supply in the market, but because she could not afford to buy what was of lefed Now this question of price is intensified, the supply in the market is Visib1y limited, and under the need to export an increasing amount to the allies and to our own soldiers, she ts hard pressed. The woman in the country and in the small town has still the great advantage of handling the food supply at first hand. If any American children go hungry this winter they will not be hers. Does she not own the COW that gives the nilk2 The tree that bears the apple 1t IS her chance to serve.
 But not even the best intentione6 senerosity will help her to do this 1ffective1y without training, and she can only get the training she needs as part of a group of other women and practice it as one of a group also just as a soldier/ gets and applies his tfaining for theAfield.,
 All l41C bQSScbl1O11 OL ll1S w Committee of the Council of. Nationa Defense, the Food Administration anC the Department of Agriculture togeth CT have arranged series of lesson! covering the most important pointi in the work we women are expected to do. For each lesson some further reading matter is offered, suggestion are made for demonstrations with ss lew recipes, and lists are given of Ian term slides, charts, and pictures Whicl VIII help to makes the lesson clear Some moving picture films are alst n0ted The lessons are planned fol use by clubs or societies, by churches and by any special sort of association organized for the purpose, and the. are to be obtained through the stat cbairmen of the Woman's Committe,

WOMEN WITH GARDENS HAVE
 SPLENDID CHANGE TO SERVE
 THE NATION WITH F00DSTUFFS
Opportunity to Aid Country in Solving the Question of the Supply of Nation with Food and at Same Time Benefit Herself

of the Council of National Defense, who usually also represents the Food Administration. or in States where no woman representative has been ap- pointed yet, from the state food ad- ministrator. It is through such train ing as these lessons give that the wo- men who are nearest to the food sup ply can perform their special war ser vice of Tightening a little the pressure on their sisters in the cities.
 In two ways the women who have gardens have already done a great war work. They have increased the supply of food that has been raised, and they have preserved and canned vast amount of it for winter use. The work of getting this canned sur plus into the stomachs of those 1t was grown to fill Is 8 question of organized marketing. It is, of course, just as important for the city woman to do her part in buying the produce that the country woman sends her as it is for the country woman to raise it in the first place, and both of us need to be instructed in this.
 One lesson is in the exact food we need for day in order to keep our families in the state of efficiency nec- essary for a nation at war-or peace, either, for that matter-and in the ways of organizing the food supply so that we can have this food with out entrenching on that which it is neces- sary for us to send to Europe.
 The lessons cover the use of wheat and vegetables, meat, fats, sugars mil h11ff md 0hnaSo 11udaT. 6n i'm. mediate war requirements that we shall eat only that to which as loyal citizens we have a right.
 We face a sharp differentiation ir the kinds of service which the wo- men who have and who have not gar dens can give through the food SUD- ply. The city women can do little but practice rigid food economy and readjustment. The country woman can help soften the hard edges of the city privations by leaving, after hel l first-hand draft on the food supply enough of the things which can not be exported for the citys needs. The files of the Food Administration are thick with letters from women who say that they are anxious to serve | their country, but that they have nothing to conserve; from women WhC say that the prices of poultry an6 vegetables and butter and other fat. are so high that they can not bu! them; from women whv complain tha they cannot afford enough milk tt keep their children in health.
 Sometimes the city and the coun try do not understand each other problems well enough to help eacl other out, but under the present emer gency it is important that they should both learn.
 It is time for us all to be trained in that teamwork which when uset between nations will make it possibl, for our surplus to meet their lack which can operate between the cit. and the country so that the woman with a garden shall help feed the wo man with none.

SUFFS SPECULATE ON OUTCOME OF
 BILL AMENDMENT

Today is the last day of the great suffrage convention which has been in session this wetk in Washington: Not much remains to be done in the preparation for the vote on the suf- frage amendment next week in the House of Representatives. The work for this was begun over 40 years ago and has been going on more or less actively ever since. Mort actively it was restarted in 1912 after the ad- mission of three new states in that year and two others in the two pre- vious years to the list of equal fran chise states.
 In 1918 additional impetus was given by the conferring of the presi- dtntial vote on the women of Illinois, and in 1914 Montana and Nevada women were added to the electorate. From 1914 to 1917 there was again a pause, but this year with the con- ferring of the presidential vote on the women of Michigan. Nebraska, Indiana, North Dakota and Rhode Island and full enfranchisement for the women of New York the new inn pulse given to tht suffrage amend ment is believed to be 1rreS1St1Dle.
 At the morning session yesterday the most important address was given by Miss Katharine Ludington, presi- dtnt of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage association, who spoke on What Connecticut Will Do for the Federal Amendment" The after noon yesterday was given up to the discussion of whether women should work for the suffrage in war time. The convention was unanimously of the opinion that work for woman suf- frage must go on until the vote is granted, but also of the opinion that the shortest and most economical method of shining they ote should be selecttd, so that the women will not have to give more effort than is absolutely necessary to the sinning of their fundamental political rights
