Especially for Washington Women

girls agreed, that even if this
country were flooded with cheap
domestic labor after the war that
few housekeepers would avail
themselves of it, to the extent
they did before"
women have learned to do
without help and they are TAX
ing the same pride in their
domestic achievements, as they
did in their canning last year"
"The vacuum cleaner, the fire
less cooker, the washing machine,
and electric fiat irons are simpli-
flying housework to such an ex-
tent that every woman with some
degree Of organization will be able
to run her home, with as little diff
ficulty as she can run a Ford car
after she learns the brakes"
"But," one of the fair laun-
dresses interrupted, "what will
become of the cook and the laun-
dress and all the rest of them
when Johnnie comes marching
home and displaces her from the
elevator and kindred other jobs ?"
"She will find something else
to do" the progressive lady an
swered, besides, that's the cooks
lookout. In the meantime. how
ever, it behooves her to salt
down into thrift stamps every
penny she is able to save, be-
cause lean years follow fat, and
there is apt to be a chill morn
mo when she does not have half

paying better than the last"

Evidently none of Uncle Sans

wanted to admit it, because the
Progressive. Lady is rather ter
rifying and has a way of con-
victing people of not keeping up
with the procession. This is nat
urally irritating to girls who
have left home and comforts to
help win the war in Washing

So it leaked out that while
everyone was buying either a
Liberty Bond, or War Saving
Certificates, and wearing low
shoes to save leather; none of
the war workers present had
ever been to a laundry party.
Servants a Thing of the Past.
The progressive lady decided to
explain-she loves to do that.
Servants are a thing of the
past" she said; "the war has
converted them into other chan
nels of industry and housekeep-
ers are learning to do without

wringing, clear-starching, and
ironing; I wouldn't take fifteen
hundred dollars for my knowl-
edge-then l resigned, and
bought all the labor saving laun-
dry devices on the market"
At this point three Of the
war workers who had left pocket
handkerchiefs soaking in their
wash basins frightened up, and
began to take an interest.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 19.- The appeal of Harold Steinfeld for ex' emptiOn from the selective draft or industrial grounds is now regularly be fore the president of the Uniieu States.
 Lieutenant King, who reported on the case for Provost Marshal Genera. CrOwder. laid all of the records before that officer today.
 The appeal was signed by Adiutant General Harris of Arizona, who Is said to have first refused to sign the appeal, and later to have signed the same at the request of Governor Hunt on the occasion of Lieutenant Kings visit to Arizona
 Senators Aeitated.
 Both Senators Smith and Ashursi are much agitated lest the blame be placed upon them for the special con- sideration given the Steinfeld case. Congressman Hayden is lying low.
 It is known. however. that one or the principal factors in bringing about of the special investigation was Con gressman George W. Fairchild, a mem Der of the ways and means commit ltCs NnO NoiACQ On tuC pACfOSe Aie'a SAANi general in person and urged that a special investigator be sent to Ari- zona, saying that the adjutant gen eral and the county attorney at Tue sen had denied Steinfeld an appeal because of public prejudices against him.

THE MMENSITY OF THE TASK.

The following statement Is one of the most effective presentations of the war sit uation that has been made in small com pass. It is the utterances of Dr. R. L. Will bur, president of Leland Stanford, Junior, University It deserves consideration by every American as pointing to the immensi- ty of the task ahead Dr. Wilbur made it after stay in Washington in which he was associated with the food administration and had the chance to become familiar with the war outlook as 1t appears to men in touch with the situation:
 We must realize that we have to win this war with men who are yet in civilian clothes, send them across three thousand miles of sea in ships that are yet to be built; these ships protected by submarine destroy CTS that are not yet laid down; armed with guns that are not yet on paper. and manned with crews that are still untrained.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-03-20

Washington has decided that Harold Steinfeld. son of the rich merchant of Tue son, must go to war. That his absence will not injure his community to point where an exception in his case was made neces- sary. Thus is the honor and the fairness and the real simon pure democracy of the draft upheld. Never was there such an army draft before in free land Rich man, poor man, merchant, chief, all must go who ought to go, and all may Stay behind to help in other ways who ought to stay. Over a million men called from business and home to a most bitter and deadly war and only murmur here and there in all the land. This great draft has tested the foundations of our free government of and by ourselves as nothing else could do and found 1t estab- lished upon the living rock.
