The resolution submitting to the

which grants equal suffrage to women
is due in the Senate tomorrow for

That equal suffrage for men and
women Is to prevail, and to prevail

The Pelican.

Visitors to Florida and the adjoin-
ing States on the Gulf will be de-
lighted that the brown pelican, the
emblematic bird Of Louisiana, whose
death was asked by the commercial
fisheries interests, has a right to live.
Bills were introduced last year in
Florida to allow the killing of peli-
cans, gulls and other fish-eating sea
birds, as they are 80 terrifcally de-
structive to food fishes" Indeed, the
campaign even reached to the neigh.
boring State of New Jersey, and a bill
came close to passage to permit the
killing of sea gulls.
The statement was made by the
commercial fisheries interests of the
Gulf States that If we are going to
have enough fish food to win this
war" these birds, especially the peli-
can, must be destroyed. The OBJ
jecuons summarized by the United
States Food Administration included
tnItt CcuulS tiiut tllC UlTuS annually
destroy millions Of pounds Of food
fish; that the birds interfere materi-
ally with the operation OF the fisher
men and result in largely reduced
catches of food fish, and lastly, that
the pelican "serves no useful purpose
whatever, and is not a scp,ranger,
never having been known to sat fish
that have been washed ashore" and
so forth.

WHY GIRLS DON'T COOK.
Remarks on the Effect Of Kitchen
Work Upon q woman's Hands,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
old fashioned talk about girls not know
ing how to cook Is out OF place in these
days Our. girls should not be criticised
because they don't love to cook" I am
considering the average girl. whose for
tune does not permit the hiring of a
cook. AS a rule mothers prefer to do
the cooking themselves and give tho girls
a chance to engage in outside Industries
that will help in the upkeep OF the fam
lily. In many occupations a girls hands
are her best asset. Handling pots and
pans. peeling potatoes. preparing vege-
tables. &C. spoil the hands for light,
dainty work. Performers on musical in
struments. typewriters. telephone opera
tors. manicurists. nurses, fine embroider-
ers must have soft, plant fingers to do
their work properly. Saleswomen must
have velvety palms 10 handle the fine
fabrics on their counters.
Outside OF the above named occupa-
lions, our girls are doing their deadli-
est in strenuous work for the country.
What does It matter II they don't love
to cook? When the war Is over and the
boys como home the girls will quickly
learn TO cook for loves sake.

IDLE BLAST FURNACES,
Why Not Draft Men for the Coal ant
Iron Mines II Production Is Shorti

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. We
hear constant talk about the curtailment
of production in so-called non essential
industries In order that raw material SO
employed may be used for war pur-
poses. but no word comes to us Of any
attempt to enlarge the supply OF raw
material. II there Is a famine in pig
iron, as alleged. the obvious thing to
do would appear to be for the Govern
ment. which has ample power. to put
men enough into the iron ore region
20 increase rapidly the output OF ore so
as to keep the blast furnaces busy turn
ing out pig iron. II is said that large
numbers OF blast furnaces are now idle
because they can get no ore. III there
IL shortage of either bituminous or
anthracite coal, instead OF drafting men
from the coal regions for the army. as
has been done, why not send these
skilled miners back to the mines and
draft more men, now otherwise en-
ployed, to raise the output of coal to a
point where those industries needing 1t
can have an ample supply?
II the Government can draft men for
the army II can draft them for such
important work as increasing the output
OF ore and coal. All this may not work
out in the simple manner indicated, but
1t seems to me that the idea Is prac-
ticable and worth trying. though we have
no evidence that any attempt has yet
been made in this direction. NJ. T. r.

The Question Of Fire Protection In the
Washington Heights Neighborhood.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. There
Is considerable amount of agitation
on Washington Heights over the action Of
Fire Commissioner brennan in abolish
ing one OF the Oldest engine companies in
that section. Engine Company SO. Am
sterdam avenue, near 155th street Tax
payers are UP in arms and civic esso-
Citations are active, but despite their
activity the Commissioner has not vet
seen At to issue a statement defending
his action. About all the information
those interested can get Is that the COM
pany was disbanded for economical rea-
sons. But It 10 dinncult to convince the
residents and business men Of the
Heights that there Is any economy in
lessening the fire protection Of q section
which Is daily growing more important
They feel that instead Of lessening the
protection It should be increased. They
expect that the fire insurance rate will
Jump when the companies become cog
nizant Of the fact that one more COM
pany has been dlsbanded and the
Heights left with what residents say is
inadequate FIRE protection.
But whether the Commissioners ac-
ton in disbandlng a company which has
been In service for over thirty years
Is justified or not. facts seem to indi-
cate that Washington Heights has been
the victim OF discrimination on the
part OF the present Fire Commissioner
and his predecessor For instance, In
1913 Commissioner johnson established
a double engine company in 1slst street,
near Amsterdam avenue. Last July the
present Commissioner disbanded the sec
ond section OF this company. 1t is said
that Washington Heights is the only sec
ton left without a double engine COM
pany. About two years ago the second
section OF Engine Company so. Amster-
dam avenue and 13sth street. was abol-
ished. And yet former Chief Croker
once remarked that III he had his way
every fire company in Harlem and the
Heights would have two sections
Perhaps the shortage of firemen may
have had something to do with Com
missioner Drennan's action. II such was
the case the Commissioners action was
not justified. because there arc enough
men in the immediate locality who would
have been only too glad to volunteer
for service TO protect their homes.

SKEDADDLE.
Can the Word Be Shown to Have Ex.
listed Before 1921

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: How
curiously history repeats itself. re-
member distinctly the popularity and
prevalence OF the word "skedaddle" dur
ing our civil war. and am confident
that I never heard 1t used before tho
second year at least OF that war. ] re-
member distinctly also that It was then
the general opinion that 1t was an en-
tirely new and coined word, the inven-
ton Of some one with peculiar talent
for putting letters and sylables together
In an unusual way. The word was GER
tainly widely accepted as a species Of
meaning with It. I do not recall now
whether the South took up the word,
but In the North It was constantly used
by newspaper writers, but applied only
In the case Of Confed rate defeats and
rapid retreats
Later arose Just the same sort OF con-
troversy over the origin of the word by
newspaper correspondents as has ap-
peared recently in the columns of THE
SUN, until some writer put forth the
opinion. Just as has been done by Sun
writer's within the last few days, that
the word is derived from the Greek verb
"skedanumi."
The result at that time was that those
who knew no Greek were unable to ad-
vance any contradiction OF the opinion,
the Greek scholars were satisfied that
the point had been settled. and the con-
troversy died away. to be revived now
after the passage OF fifty years.
So there is nothing new about tho
controversy. and nothing new about the
theory of a Greek derivation OF "ske-
daddle." II was all hashed up in the
newspapers half century ago. and I
haven't the slightest doubt that dis
cussion OF the subject, the Greek idea
included. could be discovered somewhere
in the files of THE SUN for the years
1852, 1853 or 1864. II any interested per-
son viii take the time and trouble to
look them up. Mill novum, &c.

GERMAN IN NEBRASKA.
The Case Where Children were
Threatened for Speaking English.

To THE EprroR OF THE SuN-Str: Our
attention has been called to a statement
in your columns which reads as follows:
In Nebraska Investigations by the state
Council Of National Defence revealed IN
stances OF pupils In German schools peins
punished for speaking English
We do not know where this statement
originated. but 1t has appeared In sew
eral publications.
There is no instance on record OF
school children in Nebraska being pun
ished for speaking the English language.
There was one instance where punish
ment was threatened. and Robert l.. Met
calfe Of Omaha, former member OF the
Nebraska State Council of Defence. who
made a special Investigation along these
lines, reports that 1t is the only instance
Of its kind the Council can discover in
the State Of Nebraska.
The circumstances in connection with
this one instance were as follows: In
Thayer county there was q group Of
eleven children who went to German
parochial school on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday Of each week
and on Fridays attended the public
school. These eleven children persisted
In talking German on the day they at
tended the public school, and on inquiry
the public school teacher learned that
these particular children were in the
habit Of talking German because their
German teacher had threatened to whip
them II they talked English.
The trouble with your statement Is
that you have not distinguished be-
tween the public and parochial schools.
SO far as the public schools Of Nebraska
are concerned there never has been any
question as to their loyalty. Teachers
and children have been untiring In their
efforts to promote whatever the Govern
ment has asked in prosecuting the war
to a successful conclusion.
There are 1.7os school houses in the
State Of Nebraska, Of which 262, or less
than 4 per cent, are parochial schools
and formerly gave instruction in the
German or other foreign languages.
Total enrolment of school children in
Nebraska IL 292.362. Of which approx
mately 10000, or less than 4 per cent,
formerly studied foreign languages.
principally German. There are 1887
teachers In the State of Nebraska, OF
which 37s, or less than 1 per cent. for
merly gave instruction in German. OF
the German teachers 100 were ministers
In the German Lutheran parishes where
the parochial schools were located.
A report recently published by the
Missouri Lutheran Synod, which has
Jurisdiction over a part OF the Nebraska
churches. stated, English is now ex-
clusvely used In instruction in all
schools. The German national hymn is
not sung in any OF our schools"
Nebraska has not always been free
from pro-Germa nism, but its influence
has always been small and is constantly
decreasing. and Is now almost negli-
gible. ARTHUR THOMAS,
