MUST LOVE SPICE FOOD WE EAT
 AT HOME?

New York, Sept. 23.---Latfn and Anglo-Saxon took opposite sides yes
 terday on the question on whether mother or an expert at a community kitchen is the better cook for father and the children. It was at the inter national conference of women physi- clans at the "Y'' headquarters. 600 Lexington avenue, and Mrs. Charlotte
 Perkins Gilman was featuring on The Waste of Labor in the Domestic In dustry of Women" Hot meals cooked outside and sent to the home, service by the hour by expert cleaners and the highest trained efficiency assisting in the care of babies and youngsters, she said, would release wives who do not enjoy housework and nursing for tasks more congenial to them.
 Up jumped a dark eyed woman doc tor from France and burst into flood
 of protesting French. Such arrange ments might do for the cold Anglo
 Saxon, she said. but "jamais. jamais' for the Latin races. where the tie of
 family is so much stronger than with the AnglO-Saxon.
 Experts are all very we'll" she
 said, but mon Dieu, can she who cooks for 100 put as much love into the food as can the mother who pre- pares the meal for her own? There is a moral and psychological side to this as well as an industrial and economic one. Love must go into the making
 of what We eat, and can a, woman love fifty eaters whom, possibly, she has never seen?''
 Hearty applause greeted this out | burst, which caused Mrs. Gilman to laugh and remark:
 T see that education makes no diff d sentiments just like any other audi ence of women.
 But remember that I simply held ' that it is better for a woman's health if shs can do what she enjoys doing Mother love doesn't always make a good cook. Out West and in New
 England mothers love their children, and yet many of the former gve the youngsters saleratus biscuits and the i latter feed them pie.
 i You doctors don't love a sick child i better than its mother does, but you ! can cure it better when it is sick One ! doesn't want mother to deal with an aching tOb.h, one goes to the dentist
 It isn't necessary for a mother, sim | ply because she loves her little ones l to spend her days over cook stove and to take the sole care of the chiI- GTen. Many a, mother wouL1 love the children better if she could be away l from them more. I make the point
 that the world loses much through the i bad adjustment which forces so many women to remain tied to domestic | tasks which could be better performed 1 by community methods.
 : And, good heavens there are 1O.- VVOtO0 wCA en in Europe who can never marry. Shall the loss of a,p- ' +11z pOo force the women they might have
 married to lives of uselessness?' o. l It was decided to draft a. resolution ! to the effect that woman's health would be improved by a freer special 1 izatiOn in ideas
