"OLD-FASHIONED" WOMAN AND COOK STOVE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN SERAPNEL

4 4
which has freed her from making
even the baby's Iayette.
AS she has stored the sewing ma
chine in the attic, she would hasten
joyoUsly Danish the cook stove to
the cellar. Then by pushing few
buttons at the head of the bed, the
wife could order breakfasts for the
family from a central kitchen a mile
away, scientifically assorted accord
ing to age, sex, height, weight, gen
eral health, color of hair, occupation,
etc.
Add this system to factory-made
clothing and woman would be re-
lieVed from the necessity of knowing
anything at all. Itwould permit her
to slump comfortably into perma-
nent parasitism, and it would still
further enslaVe man as "a good pro-
WIDER"
Home-making, according to the
finest modern conception, is a great
art. 1t demands fem ne inteIIi-
gence and training. L..ere is no
great and no small, no better and
no worse in any service which is es-
sentiaI to the WeII-being of the race.
And perhaps woman wouldn't be
in such haste to upset the cook stove
if she realized that it is a detail of
the best economic movement, and a
part of all social improvement. One
of mans first steps away from saw
agery was the cooking of food. This
step was taken thousands of years
ago, but in all of the centuries since,
woman has not learned how to cook
ITO the best advantage. It would.
seem woman't part in twentieth CEN
tUry wisdom not. to. abandon the
cook stove, but to bring it up to date.
But no wife will try to do this if she
is convinced that the cook stove
keeps her 500 years behind her hus-
band.

''The twentieth century man is iv-
ing with a fifteenth century woman, d"
Rose Pastor Stokes, wife of w. G.
Phelps Stokes, millionaire, told a
Baltimore audience a few days ago.
THE cook stove and other feudal-
istic institutions have kept woman
back" she said.
The first sentence is clever, but
might we not say just as truthfully,
remembering the millions of dead
men on Europe's battlefelds, that
the twentieth century woman is liv-
ing with fifteenth century man?
Or why not balance the cook stove
against war munitions and permit
man and woman a chronological
equality?
But even this is not quite fair to
the cook stove, which is a constTUc-
tive agent of civilization, while
shrapnel is most valuable, as it is the
most destructive. Democracy, or
any other human ideal, might have
been attained without it's use.
Many women are always waiting
to find new causes for discpntent.
Thousands are greedy of excuses to
shirk responsibilities which are pc
cuIiarly feminine.
They deyour advice like this: $50
cialized activities which supply nee
essaries of life, such as houses, food
and clothing. Freedom from do
nestle cares will enable women to
take part in the big social and eco
nomic movements hitherto dele
gated to men,"
But does it do SO?
We have just about completed the
specialization of clothing. And all it |
has done for women is to create a
demand for more, cheaper and

MOSS NAMED SUCCESSOR
TO JUDGE BRASHEARS
Candidate Endorsed by All Factions
OF Anne Arundel Democrats.

Governor Harrington yesterday
announced the appointment of Rob
ert Moss, of Annapolis, to fill the va
cancy in the Fifth Judicial Circuit,
caused by the recent death of Judge
James r. Brashears. Mr.. Moss ele-
walton TO the bench created no SUI
prise Last week the Governor let
it be known that he contemplated
making the appointment.
Mr. Moss was indorsed for the APP
pointment by both factions OF Anne
Arundel county Democrats, notwith-
standing the fact that for years he
/ has been one of the leaders Of the
anti-Wells people. 1t was Dr. Wells
crowd that first indorsed him, for
( the reason, no doubt. that the doctor
! came TO the conclusion that il was
the best way OF getting rid of him.
! On the day before the Democratic
State Central Committee of Anne
/ Arundel county indorsed Mr.. Moss
for the judgeship. the anti-Wells
people picked him as one of its can
didates for the House of Delegates.
| At that time it looked as II the ants
were in Il position TO give DR.. Wells
hard fight. Isaac 5. NutwelI, the
/ leader of what is called the" Swamp"
district, had deserted the doctor, and
other leaders were threatening 10
follow suit. The machine was tot
tering and it is believed DR.. Wells
was doubtful as TO his ability to
keep it geared up and going.
Mr.. Moss is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the full
term for which a judge Will be cleo
ted in November He is being OPP
posed by States Attorney Nicholas
H. Green. Of Annapolis, who is said
to have been very much disappointed
when the State SentraI Committee
of his county indorsed Mr.. Moss.

BETTER BABIES A
BNPRODUCT OF WAR

What England has been doing
since war was declared to make bet
ter babies is the subject of an in
teresting article by Jeanne Judson in
The Mothers Magazine. In describ-
ing the day nurseries, or creches,
Miss Judson says:
The mothers bring the children to
the creche before they go to work
in the morning. This is usually
about eight o'clock. They call for
them again at seven o'clock at
night. I was surprised that some
of the youngest babies three and
four weeks old could be taken away
from their mothers, but investigation
proved that most of them were thriv-
ing.
These young babies are not ween-
ed entirely from their natural nour-
ishment. They are fed every two
hours up to the age of two months.
Fresh cows milk, so boiled that all
danger from germs is eliminated, and
diluted with barley water. is the
food given to the normal children.
The older children are given three
nourishing meals "a day at the nur-

meut is assured even if they do not
have any addition to their diet at
home.
The children are bathed upon
their arrival in the morning and are
given fresh. clean clothinE-not a
uniform, but simple hygienic gar
ments. They are dressed again in
their own clothes before being sent
home at night. Two paid trained
nurses, four volunteer assistants, a
paid matron and a doctor constitute
the staff of the Mothers Arms, were
forty children, all under five years
of age, are cared for daily. For all
this service the mother pays only
eight cents day and four cents for
a half day on Saturday.
AS an educational movement or a
social welfare work, these day
nurseries would be interesting-as a
national movement they are vastly
more so, for they show that at least
the nations are beginning to realize
in practical way that their children
are their greatest wealth-the ma
tion's greatest asset"
