 The healthy woman who marries for love chooses the ideal life for 1t is the most completely rounded and sat isfying career she can select. Her love makes it possible to satisfy all the intricate requirements, but she must continue to work to be happy. When she weds in order to obtain a easy means of support she is making 8 big mistake because, in almost any other line of work, she could make an easier living.
 Why, in Holland, many of our women continue after marriage the business or professional work in which they had previously engaged. We have very few idle married women what you people call parasites"
 And pr. Potter blamed women's vOusness-mental wear and tear upon loveless. idle marriages. Throughout her talk she persisted upon work, work and more work for the married woman, fayed men who insisted upon the ideal conditions sur rounding young marriages. She is a young woman herself who Received her M. D. in 1911 at the Municipal University in Amsterdam.
 Following the receipt of her de- gree Dr. Potter entered whole-heart- edly into experimental research work. assisted at the neurological clinic University of Utrecht, and when she left home to attend the international conference of Women Physicians in New York she was a member of the Struma committee instituted by the town council of her natime town of Utrecht.

COMMUNITY WORK ON A LARGER
 SCALE

Plans presented by Miss Stella Worth Jones, woman's work organ izer of the Bridgeport Community organization, at the first meeting of the women's committee of the or ganization yesterday afertnoon at the Council Chamber, City Hall, provide for a more extensive and cOmprehens- i've program for the winter. The 2S women present at the meeting yes terday were representatives of var ious organizations conducted during the war and had been interested in the city welfare as well as active in many women's organizations.
 Miss Jones' program as outlined was received with great enthusiasm and committees to carry out the plans will be appointed in a few days. A central womens committee, compos- ed of representatives engaged in var ioUs war organizations was suggested and will be one of the first steps with which to carry on the work.
 There will be city wide ward or ganizatiOns under district chairmen; city-wide federation of women's organizations to insure the organized woman power of the community; the stimulation of work existing among girls organization, in the way of music, dramattcs, business or service work; the organization of such girls clubs not reached by other organi- zations and include industrial, com merce, school, neighborhood and church groups. The initiation of these various clubs and organizations, the extension of the work throughout the city and the bringing of the com munity work on a wider and broader plane will be amongst the winte- work of the committee

For physical, romantic and social reasons. girls should marry at IS, be- cause then they have better children, are more happy-they and their hus- bands growing together with the years. For the sake of their nerves and general health, women, after mar riage, should continue to work and should never marry a man who thinks it a reproach for his wife to work
 pr. Ada Potter of Utrecht, Holland one of the distinguished women physi- clans, suggests these things for the betterment of womankind, and this betterment is the object of the gath ering of women physicians from the world over, a gathering unique in the history of the feminine study of medicine. These women have aI- ready met in conclave, have discussed women from their conception to their demise, and Dr. Potter spoke yester- day as a woman who had studied the problems of the age.
 Early marriages are being encour- aged in Holland because it is rapidly becoming the general belief that these unions are more likely to be love matches rather than maria ges for economic or social reasons accord ing to pr. Potter, who summed up her entire talk with the advice to ''start right, love right, work right"
 The woman who marries for a solely economic reason is making a big mistake, in pr. Potter's opinion for the married woman has three positions to take care of. She is the homemaker, she is the manager and she is the general worker in her household. Almost any woman could make a far easier living in some other manner than marriage.
 "A woman needs to be three times as strong and well to be married as in any other occupation.
 In efficient, happy marriage she is working at three jobs. She is the wife, the loving comrade of her hus- band and she is the understanding mother of her children; she is the homemaker, the manager and the worker in her household, and surely these three jobs are enough to make her realize that. outside of wedlock, she could make a far easier living
 ''The best age for a woman to marry, physically, economically and romantically, is 1S," continued the physician, with self-confident empha-
 
 and if a woman waits until she is 2S or 30 before marrying, her marriage is probably a matter of economics rather than love. When a girl and a man marry young they have better children and a better chance of hap piness for they grow together with the years.
 'In my country, our divorces arc very few and I think it is because, after marriage, our women work After love, I consider this the funda- mental reason for happy maria ges. l If our women do nothing else they ! manage their own households and | their children.

equal compression. A hot water
bag is also useful in the later
stages.
Severely bruised extremities
sometimes have to be splinted, in
order to insure absolute rest. Mas
sage aids in restoring the parts to
their normal condition, but must
not be employed early. A hema-
toma must not be opened, unless an
abscess forms.
A muscle strain is the stretching
or tearing of a muscle. Tendons
and ligaments do not stretch. but
may be torn. The commonest
strains are those of the shoulder,
biceps, back, thigh and calf of the
leg.
In muscle strain the symptoms
are sudden and severe pain, tender
ness and more or less inability to
use the part. The patient suffers
il he attempts to move the injured
part, but 1t may usually be moved
by the physician without much
pain.
Bandaging or strapping with ad-
hesive plaster in a position which
gives complete rest and relaxation
Is the proper treatment. A strained
arm should be placed in sling. A
patient with strained leg or thigh
should be put to bed with the knee
fiexed across a pillow.

lowed later by massage. Rest in

Less Work In Summer
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The DISTINGUISHED AUTHORITY on Household Efficiency.

wastes less heat into the room than
the same number of burners going
separately.
In the family with children the
small point of family cooperation
will greatly lessen the work for the
housekeeper. II each one picks up
after himself it is surprising how
much less there is for the house
mother to do than If only her hands
must do every task. Children can
make beds, sweep and dust and
assist with the dishes, while the
porches and rugs will not take more
than half an hour daily of the big
boys time.
No item Is more important than
the dress Of the woman who works
at household tasks. For some time
there has been used extensively by
women a so-called house dress of
one piece. This, however, has a
fitted belt and tight armholes and
generally low collar. 1t most
resembles a nurses uniform.
Now, while such dress may be
suitable for serving at table, 1t is
not suitable either for cooking or
for doing the active work of clean
ing, STOPPING to dust, etc. When
doing homework to make 1t really
exercise" it is necessary to have
freedom of the waist, arms and legs
to prevent too great fatigue and
strain.
In the writer's mind there is no
ne I'LL
bungalow apron, which has neither
buttons nor hooks, and which is
held in solely by belt. This gar
ment has kimono sleeves and slips
over the head. No petticoats need
be worn under 1t when the heat is
extreme. In such a loose but still
neat appearing dress any physical
task can be done and regarded as
exercise.
Another choice is the MILDLY
blouse and separate single-piece
skirt. This also has no pull" at
the arms and waist.
Even in the hottest weather 1t is
cool early in the morning and late
at night. Now, il the weather is
as hot as 1t usually is in countries
like Spain and similar southern
countries, then we should sensibly
follow their customs. As we know,
in those lands all work is done
early in the morning, and between
the hours of and p. m. no one
steps outdoors and all industry
pauses. In this country we often
have the same heat, and yet we per-
Hast in doing our work on the same
schedule followed in the cold of

What to Do For
BRUISES, STRAINS, SPRAINS

bed is necessary when the back is
strained, together with application
of mustard plaster. Later, mas
sage and strapping are employed.
In treating sprain we must be
sure that it Is a sprain and not a
fracture or dislocation. Many cases
have to be decided by the X-ray.
If sprain is severe complete
rest may have to be maintained for
week or two. If slight the joint
may be used after twenty-four
or forty-eight hours.
The first thing to do in sprains is
to wrap the joint with cloths wruns
out In ice water. An ice bag may
then be applied, wrapped in
towel Cold should be applied for
about six hours, as rule, but not
continuously. as the skin can easily
be seriously damaged. Stop the
cold applications II the skin be-
purple or congested. Inspect
the joint every half hour.
After the subsistence of swelling
use hot applications, or immense
the joint in hot water. This re-
lieves pain.
Severe sprains have to be splint.
ed or put up in plaster of paris.
Swapping with adhesive plaster is
very effective, but all these meth
DDS must be applied by the physi-
clan. If the wrist, elbow or
shoulder is sprained, the arm must
be placed in sling
Early massage after sprains is
not advisable.
