CLAIMS MODERN
WOMAN DOES NOT
MAKE GOOD WIFE

Chicago, March 23.-In a report
on Chicago's matrimonial situation
made public today. Mrs. Gertrude
Howe Britton, head of the bureau
of social service. says the modern
woman, reared in present day in
situations of learning, is not a good
wife
Training in home making is es-
sential for the young girls" Mrs.
Britton says. The part the pub
lie school plays in this training is
not adequate. Too often children
go through long years trying to
grasp academic training for which
they are not mentally suited
whereas the proper sort of indus
trial training would have really fit

community"

Probably the last gambling raid
to be made by the local police in
the new clean up drive was made
last night at 10 o'clock.
Ten men were arrested by Cap
tain Bleuer and Officers Minor
and Bennett in a room in the Colon
ial hotel at the corner of Eigh-
teenth street and Third avenue.
Three visits TO the place have been
made by the officers previous to the
one last night. Each time nothing
was found. The first call was made
after a woman had notified the po-
lice that her husband had been to
a room in the hotel where he had
played poker. The officers last
night broke into the room. Before
they had gained their entrance
poker chips, cards and all that
might incriminate the gamblers
was hidden but not sufficiently to
prevent the officers from making a
discovery.
Pay Light Fines.
All OF the men were arraigned in
the police court this morning and
paid a fine of So. The police be-
lieve that the names were fictitious

ever misunderstanding or lack Of information
might have existed in the past, as cause for op-
position to his conduct Of the secretarys office,
has been obliterated. Mr.. Hall has made an ex-

MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE

When the war struck, Englishmcn passed In a
day from mental habit Of slumbrous peace to q
keen fear Of impending disaster. It was as though
over night the world had swung back to the dark
shielded mems bodies and property had in an hour
turned about to seize and carry away both the man
and his belongings.
The governments agents, armed with 4 COM
mission and printed blank came to a gentleman s
stable. took his thoroughbred saddle horse and led
1t down the road leaving in it's stead bit of paper
that promised remuneration for the comman-
deered animal. The sturdy team Of the trucknan
went down the same road, and the motor truck and
pleasure car followed
So went everything the individual owned that
the government needed for the emergency. This
Is the only way beneficcnt government has Of
defending the lives Of it's ctizns. "Al that man
hath will he for his life," individually or coec-
lively. But England did not suffer the extreme
penalty Of war. There was then, and there Is yet,
belt Of sea water between her and tho immediate
presence Of war.
When war came into Belgium and France. all
the good things of life benevolent government Is
formed to defend went down before the German
bghters. The difference between Amrca ~ we
know II and the desolation left in the trail Of the
Hun, Is the measure Of the value Of American
citizenship.
Thus ia rour horses and our vehicles have not
oeen Comnlandeered, our IleluS nave not been lRlu
waste, our people have not been slaughtered In
their homes or led away captiv. All that most Of
US hav been asked thus far to do Is to back the
boys sent to the war with few bodily comforts,
and to invest little Of our money In the securities
Of our shetering government.
This war does not seem to be on the eve Of
peace. After four years of fighting the predatory
powers Of Europe are bursting forth upon the
world ~ though all hell had underwritten their
enterprise.
The least we can do ut this moment to shelter
our land from this courge Is to subscribe to the
limit 81 our present ability to its securities. Min

Langley invented the heavier than

More than 80 years ago." DR.. Bras
hear said 4 heard scientist read a
paper on The Soaring Birds of Flori-
da' before a gathering of scientists.
This man had gone down there and
hidden himself in the trees fastening
bits OF foliage to him, and watched
those large birds. Then he began to
experiment with machines that would
fly. He was ridiculed by that assembly,
ID scientists except one-Samuel
Pierpont Langley. Afterward he told
nae it was strange topic to be dis.
cussed in scientific meeting, but that
it had made such an impression on
him that he began to take an interest
In flying.

"He came over to nv little work

me to help him in his experiments.
Then he went to William Thaw who
had previously assisted him. and OBJ

whoever talked much about flying he
ceived a great deal of abuse and ridi.

Langley for he was set in his purpose
"He first used the Pinaud flying ma
