HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
THE WORST OF SUMMER.
: By FRANCES MARSHALL.

From the housewives angle the
worst thing about summer is-to use
plain English-garbage.
In the cool months, thei problem
OF disposing of kitchen refuse Is not q
dificult one, and until warm weather
comes with its retinue Of flies and
other insects, We may almost forget
there Is any such thing as a refuse
disposal problem at all.
But in summer-every housewife
knows that upon this question de-
pends much of her comfort or misery
In warm-weather kitchen work.
Perhaps the most usual way OF i'm
mediate disposal OF table refuse and
odds and ends from coking and pre-
paration of food is to keep II in q
sink strainer. Here It accumulates
often till It has filled the strainer to
overlooking. Here too it is quite sure
to be offensive on very warm days TO
the one who washes dishes, pots and
pans; for most persons do the dish
washing in the kitchen sink.
Meny persons have no other kitchen
garbage receptacle than this, empty
ing this directly into the outside can.
Really this involves a great many un-
necessary steps and II is a much wiser
tacle Of two or three quart capacity
to keep in the kitchen besides. Ideally
this should be of enamel-white en-
amel is the best-and should be
straight sided. A small covered pail
or straight covered jar will be found
admirable. All dry garbage should be
put directly into this. And after every
meal the garbage from the strainer
should be deposited there, too. Need
less to say the cover should be fitted
tightly after each opening, and II
never allowed to remain unopened II
need not be emptied more than once
or twice a day in the average size
family.
The outside garbage pail should be
lined with old newspapers after It has
been emptied and cleansed. And as
the contents of the small kitchen re-
ceptacle are emptied they should be
turned out into opened newspapers
and SO put into the large can in per-
fectly cleanly bundles. After each
emptying the small jar or can should
be rinsed out, and once a day at least
1t should be scalded.
This really Is the best way that this
not altogether pleasant problem can
be worked out. Lots OF women dream
Of the time when there will be q
better system OF garbage disposal than
is now in existence. 1t seems as II
there ought to be some sort OF electri-
cal device so that rubbish and gar
bage could be Immediately destroyed
in the kitchen. But even If there were
there would be women, as there are
now, whose kitchens would never be
as pleasant as they might be in sum-
mer. just because OF a lack OF care
and attention in this matter. And on
the old-fashioned farms, where mod
ern conveniences are few II not en-
tirely lacking, there are many house
wives who with a little daily care and
attention have reduced the difficulties
in this respect to a minimum.

Why Do Men Prefer Second-rate Women?
By DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

And, pray, look at the premium men
put on selhshness and greedines5 and
graspingness in women. Who are the
wives who are petted and coddled and
The good, faithful, devoted wives and
mothers who have done their duty by
their families? Not a bit of it.
They arc almost invariably the cold
blooded, selt-seCkIrS women who have
never loved a human being but them
selves, or had a thought or desire that
was not centered on themselves. They
regard husbands as mere beasts OF
burden, designed by a kind Providence
TO supply them with imported gowns
and French millinery and ropes OF
pearls. You would think that a man
class wife in the matrimonial lottery
would run as fast as he could TO the
divorce court ard get rid of her
But he doesn't He's tickled to
death with her. He's proud of her.
He actually brags about her helpless
ness. and her being obliged to have
luNuries, and considers II a privilege
TO be permitted to work himself to
death to crafty her extravaganza.
And as long rs this is true. what's
the use in talking to women about
being parasites. It's the men who
to be the pole on which a gorgeous
vine festoors itself. while they have
got no use for the sturdy little flower
that tries to grow a backbone.
Why men like second-class women.
nobody knows. But they do. The
more a woman asks Of a man, the
more he gives her and the more he re-
spects her for her ability to work him
The more she makes a doorr1at OF
herself, the more he wipes his feet
upon her, the more she does for him
the less he cares for her. and the
more he does for her the better he
loves her.
And this being a matter OF common
observation, is it any wonder that
when you hold up high ideals Of char
acter before women they ask, What's
the use?"

Qualities Hts Statement That Names on
25.Year-Old Document Are Forseries.
Rutland, Oct. 1s.-Albert g. Osborne of
New York. the handwriting expert en-
gagged by the Vermont Marble company,
who testified at the chancery hearing be-
fore Judge Fish yesterday that an alleged
important 25-year-old agreement which
the Eastman Marble company Of West
Rutland is trying to prove valid. is a
forgery was on the witness stand most Of
the time to-day for cross-examination by
Attorney John G. Sargent Of Ludlow. Mr..
Osborne said yesterday that he believed
that the disputed document was a fraud
because the lines in the written signatures
appeared "hesitating" as though they
were traced. To-day he admitted that
moisture and pressure due to putting the
document through letter copy press
might cause the ink to spread so that
the edges of the lines in the writing would
be indistinct and give the appearance Of
hesitancy. He was asked II he would take
any one signature alone and, using all the
standards at hand. say that that one was
a forgery and he replied in the negative.
The disputed agreement discovered as
Eastman claims within three months Of
the time OF it's expiration binds the YER
mont Marble company it is said to pay
$l.76 cubic foot for all marble taken out
Of a certain area within the Is years. Some
,26S. 900 cubic feet have been quarried within
the period. The disputed paper carries an
option on certain property lying between
Vermont and Eastman quarries at price
which 1t was considered worth in 1892 tho
date of the agreement. Mr.. Eastman made
a tender Of $4,000 for the property about a
month before the expiration Of the alleged
contract which was discovered May 6, 1917,
in an unused letter file.

Handwriting Expert Testihes In Ver-
mont Marble Co. Case.


Rutland. Oct. 1S-According to Albert S.
Osborne of New York, a handwriting ex-
pert. testifying for the Vermont Marble
company, the alleged Is years old marble
quarrying agreement which has been the
source Of much litigation between the
Vermont concern and George p. Eastman
and p. w. Clement is a manufactured
article and the signatures of prominent
business and professional men. some Of
whom are deceased. which appear on it
were obtained by tracing. Mr.. Osborne
used books and papers on which appear
signatures admitted to be the standard Of
such men as the late Thomas w. Moloney
and Joel c. Baker and Of Postmaster p.
NJ. Meldon of this city and compared them
with the names on the disputed paper. He
testified that the signatures of these men
on the alleged agreement showed plainly
the evidence of having been traced and
that there were identical characteristics
which convinced him that they were the
work of the same hand.
There was testimony of a similar charac-
ter relative to other parts of the docu-
ment. which, If proved valid, would mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
Messrs. Eastman and Clement.
