care to send some of your troop with
us?

George II. McGoyern. OF No. 7fS

letter to former Chancellor John r..

ton National Defense Committee:
"7lS South Broome street., 90.
Wilmington. Del. May II. 1917.
Hon. John r. Nicholson. Chairman,
National Defence Committee,
Wilmington, Del.
"Sir.-There is a matter which, at
my request, the Hon. Willard Sauls-
bury has taken up with the proper
authorities that 1 think should have
the attention and cooperation Of the
National Defence Committee.
1T has reference to work being
done in the homes for the govern
ment through the Philadelphia Arsen-
ais. This work consists mainly of
wearing apparel for the soldiers and
no doubt|lll be materially increased
in the near future
1T is necessary for the women do
ing this work under present regula-
tiOns to go to Philadelphia each week
to turn in the finished articles and
receive their allotment for the COM
ing week. Senator Salisbury has
taken up the question of having the
finished work inspected and accepted
in this city and at the same time the
future work to be allotted to the
workers here. II he Is successful II
will relieve the workers in Whining
ton from the expense OF a trip to
Philadelphia as well as the loss OF a
day in making the trip. IL will also
be a great relief in saving the women
of carrying very heavy bundles. and
the worry which occurs in many
cases where children are left at-home.
At the same time / believe It viii
result in a greater production for
the government in that IL will induce
more people to engage in this work
which seems very desirable for those
desiring to work at home
"The National Defence Committee
can be of assistance i'm endeavoring
to arouse interest in this work by
creating a demand for It that will
prompt the government inspectors to
grant the concession sought. ! would
suggest that he should be supported
and If possible arrangements be made
for the receipt and distribution Of
this work at the old federal building
at Sixth and King streets
Very respectfully,
GEO. II. McGOVERN."

dishwashing that makes the task so
disagreeable and laborious."
Perhaps admitted Janis, that all
you say is true, but just look at my
hands and nails" She displayed red
dened and very blistery-looking
hands. Men are indeed, blessed
creatures" she added, turning to fin
ish the plates; they will never know
just how supremely blessed they are
until they have to wash dishes three
and four times every day"
yes, l admit said her mother,
that dishwashing is hard on the
hands and nails. But with a little care
afterward, it need not permanently
blemish them. However. even if it did,
we must all learn, my dear, that there
are many things in this life which
are healthy and wholesome. but which
do not agree with vanity. Life is any
thing but a delicatessen shop. and IL
you expect to 90 through this world
with a manicured disposition. you'll
soon find that it will take a more ex-
perienced person than you to keep
some of the polish from being rubbed
off and your nails from becoming
broken"
But your whine that men are lucky
because they escape dishwashing, is
very misleading, my dear, and there.
you are very sadly mistaken. for men
have to wash dishes in their every
day lives, just the same as women do;
not literally, of course, but figurative-
ly speaking Don't you suppose that
men have homely, disagreeable and
ugly tasks to do in their daily bust
ness lives? Don't you suppose that
they ofttimes have to face the dish
pam in their Office buildings, perhaps
even oftener than women folk DO in
the quietude Of their homes? And do
| you think that they ever shirk their
| ugly tasks and allow any greasy. care
/ less thinking to mar the result Of
their work? Not much do they. At
least the successful business man
doesn't. And that's just the reason
my dear, that men are more fitted and
capable Of doing the big things in
! this life: it is because they know how
to face their dish pans without whim-
pering when their finger nails get
/ broken.
Instead of drowning yourselves with
your dishwater. as so many women
do, why don't you all change your tao
tics, and think Of the nice shiny pan,
the hot sudsy water and the clean.
glistening pile of dishes afterward.
And whether you agree with me or
not, Janis, no person can ever succeed
until he or she learns first to over
come the dishwashing jobs"
Janis washed out the dishcloth. hung
it on the line and put the dish pan
- away
{ There" she said, finally. taking on
her big apron. and hanging It on its
: proper nail. thank goodness, they're
done!" and turning out the kitchen
light she followed her mother into
the living room.

happiest person in the wide world,
said Janis, the other evening. If
just didn't have to wash any more
dishes. Positively, dishwashing is the
most abominable, the most despic-
able, the most detestible and the
meanest job Eve ever inflicted upon
this world of women. I don't see why

Janis, with loud sigh of resignation,

Janis mother. who was going to dry
them for her smiled at her outburst.
"Pshaw Janis" she said, "a woman's
life wouldn't be complete without dish
washing. You know if It weren't for
the drab and gray points in life one
would never be able to appreciate
fully the color and high lights when
they come along. Besides" she added
