DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained Home Maker Is to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand.
ard Minimum Wage.

Courses for training home assist
ants, who will go into the home by the
day, hour or week and work on q
schedule of hours and fixed wages
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as q
means for meeting the problem Of do.
nestle service. 60.
The object Of this course, now being
tried out in New York City, is to place
domestic service on the same dignified
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours day for salary of SIS a week.
She will not live In the home of her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can 60 to restaurant or eat a
lunch which she has brought with her
just as she would were she employed
in factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
Brown, as the case may be.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places of eating and living as
the factory girl, house-work has a
greater appeal, as being less monoto-
nous and more interesting work to the
average woman.
The course Is thorough one in plain
cooking, waiting on table and door,
chamber work, plain sewing, care Of
children, making Of menus and the
washing and ironing of light things
Heavy work is to be done by outside
workers On graduation the student
receives certificate which proves her
qualification as dependable home
worker capable of attending to all ordi-
nary duties in a home.
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation has been interested in the prob
lem of domestic service both from the
standpoint Of the employee and from
that of the employer for some years.
The first commission on Household
made its report at the
fifth national convention Of the Young
Women's Christian Association held in /
Los Angeles, Cal.,. in May, 1915.
The difficulties of.attracting capable :.
to this field of work were laid
to the long hours, lack Of independence
In arranging recreation hours, lack Of
for growth and progress
and lack Of social standing.
Girls have acquired a distaste for
he conditions which govern household
work since the freedom they have ex-
oerienced in working in munitiOn fac
ories. BY standardizing domestic serv-
&c 1t is believed by the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association that a
higher type Of worker may be at.
racted to the necessary work in homes

SUGAR SHORTAGE
RELIEF NOW NEAR,
DEALERS SA Y
Shipment Of Cane and Beet
Sugar to Middle West Is
Promised In Near
Future.

That it is only a matter of few
days until the sugar shortage here
will be greatly relieved. is the opin.
ion of a majority Of wholesale gro
GERS and sugar brokers.
H. G. Hoel, manager of the Nc
Cord Brady company, stated yester-
day that he believed three refineries
in western Nebraska would open
next week, and that shipments OF
sugar could be expected at once.
Chicago Gets l2-Cent Sugar.
"We may not get as large a
quantity as we expected" said Mr..
Hoel, because beet sugar produced
in Nebraska, Colorado and
Wyoming must be used to supply
territory as far east as Pittsburgh,
while formerly it was not shipped
farther east than Chicago in large
quantities. We will get our share
of sugar, however"
District Attorney Clyne of Chi
cago announced Friday that enough
beet sugar would arrive in that city
to provide Chicago and Illinois with
12-cent sugar during the present
critical period.
Mr.. Clyne stated that the sugar
would come from Colorado, Utah
and Nebraska, and arrive by Thurs
day of next week.

The Visiting Nurse?
HER BLACK BAG
CARRIES MAGIC
Daily Trips Take Her Into
Odd, Squalid and Alien
Corners.

How would you like to carry the
troubles of whole street around on
your mind? That is what you would
have to do if you were a visiting
nurse. Most of us. think we are
abused when i'll addition to our own
misfortunes we are called on to SYM
pathize with the troubles OF our
neighbors. But the district nurse
never has time to think of her own
troubles, because she carries the mis-
fortunes of whole section of the
city around behind her genial smile.
Somehow, the people of the city
whom the nurse visits, whether they
be Americans or of the variety of
races and nationalities which are
scattered over the poorer sections
of our city, think of her as a magic
visitor out of whose black bag must
come comfort, physical, mental and
spiritual-and it comes. "Hey,
nurse! Oh, nurseH This is the call
which greets her from half-opened
second-story window or from the
obscurity of narrow stairway as
she starts on her round of calls.
Some Easy; Some Hard.
And she always answers this ap-
peal, no matter how it may cut into
her plans for the morning or the af
ternoon She enters the little home,
prepared to find a sick baby de-
serted wife, or merely family jar.
Sometimes the door is locked, and
she knocks loud and long before the
door is opened, an inch at a time,
to admit her to ROOM Uttered with
unwashed clothes and dishes and
probably unnade beds. Sometimes
the door stands open; she goes in
and through several dark, empty
rooms until she reaches the darkest.
smallest bedroom, where four or
five women are hanging over tiny
baby who gasps for breath in the
middle of huge bed.
These new calls she always puts
down in the little notebook in her
black leather bag and follows them
up from day to day.
The other day a man came to a
nurse and asked her whatever in the
world he ought to do. The wife of
one of his friends had died and his
own wife had decided that she
would go and keep house for the
bereaved man and take care of his
four children, so she went. She
had only one of her own, but she
took him along, so her own poor
husband was left familyless.
"And I know can give her bet
ter home than the other man can"
he said. What shall l do?" And the
nurse told him that his wife be-
longed to him and that somehow
they would manage to get her back.
The man went away comforted, for
the visiting nurses always keep
their promises.
Gives Cat Castor Oil.
But even this list does not cover
all the range of calls which the dis
trict nurse gets. The, other day
nurse was called in by woman who
seemed very much worried over
some member of her family. The
member" proved to be beautiful
white Angora cat who was suffer-
ing from constipation. Instead of
being insulted at being taken for a
veterinary, the nurse saw the hui
NOR of the situation, took the cats
temperature and prescribed two
spoonfuls of castor oil, which the
worried woman fastened out to get.

Taft Proposes Budget
system Before House

Washington, Oct. 4.-Enormous
war expenditures have forced the
attention of congress to the ques-
ton Of adopting a budget, former
President Taft today told the house
committee investigating proposed
changes in government fiscal affairs.
Every great nation except the
United States" said Mr.. Taft, has a
budget and could not live without
one. The United States has been
able to live without one because its
revenues have been SO large that
little need was felt for economy"
Mr.. Taft recommended that cabi-
net officers be required to come be-
