During Reconstruction" Days the Normal Sane Woman But Therell Be No Room For the Mawkish Sentmentsts

And now those women are looking around for something big to do as their contribution to reconstruction.
 T have been wondering for long time what the women who have been selling Thrift Stamps and gracing a counter in a canteen and doing other patriotic acts to earn the lengthy titles they have been endowed with, are going to do now that the wars over. Are they going back to their daily game of bridge and their afternoon round of calling?" the inter- view surmised.
 Nc" the interviewee said, they will find plenty to do as normal members Of their community. The women who have leisure and brains-or only leisure-aren going to be satisfied with fripperies any more.
 "The work of the Red Cross is still going on. and the charities; which have been sadly neglected owing to the oiiIer- ent war demands on our purses, VIII oIler them plenty of activity. There isn't charity that isn't simply crying for worR from the women"
 The lady takes a conservative view of the economical problem also, says the interviewer, contending that the great industrial war that is scheduled to break out almost anytime now, isn't coming off at all She thinks that we're going to enlarge industrially as never before, pe- cause the demand for peace products which could not be met during the war will enormously increase.
 T do believe, however" the lady added, that America should abandon her old opportunist attitude toward our problems of the future. America is inclined to be an opportunist, I'm afraid, although she faces situation bravely when she IS confronted with it.
 England, for instance, has had 40 or more committees at work perfecting plans for reconstruction so that when peace came she would be ready for it.
 America waited until the last moment and has two bills only under considera- tion, the Weeks bill providing for com mission appointed by Congress, and the Overman bill, providing for com mission appointed by the President.
 Many people have notion that be- cause the ballot has been given to women they are going to enter into different kinds of activities. I don't feel that's true. Women are going along the old lines, but at the same time they are going to become an intelligent force politically in normal. womanly way

life follows the community and local in- terests. A woman who is a good mother will make q good worker in her com munity. The normal woman will see the local needs about her. After all, the normal woman was intended to be a mother and wife-that's her job.
 You see, my idea of reconstruction work is to prepare our women to take a normal position in life again. l don't think it Is normal for a woman to seek office work and go out into industrial trades not fitted for the sex.
 ''The war work women have been doing hasn't fitted them along governmental lines.

To the people of the United States the Red Cross roll calr' means an oppor- tunity once more to record their sym pathy with suffering humanity through out the world. It is not money that Is being pledged to this great relief effort; it is the moral support of every cltlzen who becomes a member. Suffering hard ship and distress is today almost. the rule in the world rather than the ex- ception. The work of the Red Cross now stretches around the world and IS more and more becoming known as the spirit of the American people transmit ted into action. The extent of the an- swer to this roll call will add to the strength of those who are carrying on relief with much hardship and sacrifice themselves, and will add to the spiritual meaning which this relief brings. Twen- ty-two million members meant more to the people of the world than ten times that many dollars.

WN RoMEN who have been actively WV engaged in war work for the
 past year and half and who able to continue working for their coun- try will have a clear vision of what they are needed for during "Reconstruc- tion Days by referring to a little linn erick which is to this effect:
 There was an old man of Cadiz
 Who affirmed that life is what it is
 For he early had learnt
 If it were what it weren't
 It could not be that which it is,'
 This fits the case exactly; womans a woman after all, and her place during the reconstruction period is funda- mentally a woman's place; the main thing that women must learn, according to some who know, is that they are accorded a beautiful privilege of continuing their work, but they must get away from the idea that in national affairs they can occupy "a place in the sun"-heretofore occupied by men.
 During the war women have been do- ing womens work; darning, mending, knitting, nursing, all of which have not fitted them for industrial functions, says a well known New York woman, who recently gave an interview to one or the New York newspapers. which bears upon the subject; she is woman attor- ney and counsellor-at-laW,a an aruent suf- fragist and yet her ideas sound reac- tionary; but you can judge of that; the interview is worth reading and throws broad, brilliant light upon ''reconstruc- tion days" and what women may do to promote normal conditions.
 Among other things the New York woman lawyer says:
 What we want to drive toward is the normal woman who does her duty in normal way, day by day in her local com- munity and is thereby fitted for the big ger opportunity when it presents itself The woman who isn't a normal, whole some character in her home, and later in her local community, will never be a valuable addition to the state or national government.
 After all, the stability of the govern ment rests upon the stability of it's homes for from the development of the home

 SEEKING CHANCE

ST. JOHNS, N.F.-After twelve years of experimenting in the rais- ing of Lapland reindeer in northern Newfoundland, Dr. Wilfred T. Gren- fell, the Labrador medical mission ary, has decided to transfer his herd to Canadian Labrador. An effort will be made to introduce a strain of native caribou blood into the herd which has deteriorated through years of inbreeding. Territory west of Bell Isle Strait in Canadian Lab rador has been selected for the new enterprise. :. .:.:.@.. =....: @.
 Dr. Grenfell has long held the theory that the caribou might be inbred with reindeer to produce an highly efficient draft animal, suit able for use along the North coast. He was unable to give this theory thorough test in Newfoundland. The country selected as the new home of the reindeer is remote from
The Nenana daily news., 1918-09-06

settled areas and considered well suited for the purpose. By agree ment with the government of the province of Quebec, increases in the herd may be shipped back to New foundland if the owner desires.
 The Grenfell herd consists of 300 animals, virtually the same number landed by the missionary twelve years ago at St. Anthony, when he introduced reindeer to this province. At one time the herd numbered 1900, but it decreased as it dete- riorated from lack of new blood. Dr. Grenfell, who is now in the North country on missionary work, expects that government steamer will transport the deer to their new feeding grounds this summer.

BOARDING SUGAR

Hoarding sugar is a thing that cannot be too severely condemned, especially at time when assurance is given that it is not necessary There will be enough to go around if everyone adheres strictly to the ration of two pounds a month per person. It is a patriotic duty on the part of any citizen who knows when hoarding is being practiced to report immediately to the nearest local food administrator. Since sugar can be so easily hidden away, good citizens are all the more duty bound to stamp out this pernicious practice. If any great inconvenience is felt in sugar deprivation by those who are living up to our program the blame must be placed on selfish and unpatriotic hoarders of sugar.
 The cost of the United States Food Administration for its first years work was less than two cents for every person in the United States. Its work, with the cooper ation of patriotic Americans has saved the Allied nations from starv- ation, as evidenced by expressions from the food controllers of France Italy and Britain.
