Women and Luck
By DOROTHY DIX
TIE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

Z health depends on cleanliness and
good cooking instead of on luck, but
the majority of women still cling to
the fatuous superstition that il is a
matter Of pure chance whether their
children develop into failures or sue
Cesses in life. A woman will spoil and
pamper a child; she will raise him up
to be self indulgent, selfish and never
teach him to control his passions. and
then she will bemoan her bad luck
, when he turns out to be exactly the
sort Of a man she has made him.
1t apparently never occurs to moth
ers that they cannot reap wheat where
they have sowed thistles, and that the
child who is raised to indulge every
desire, and shirk every responsibility,
( is as sure to grow, up a weakling as
two and two are to make four. There
is no luck about the way he turns out
It's the relentless working out OF the
law of cause and effect.
The reason that women do not sue
| ceed oftener in business is because
| they put their faith in chance instead
/ of work. The great mass of women
kind have never yet grasped the fact
| that the only mascot that can ever
bring them success is intelligent ef-
! fort You can see this illustrated by
the fact that go per cent of all the
women who spend their lives cooking
rever find out that cooking is a SCI
/ entifc process, wherein certain re-
suits invariably follow the putting to-
gether of certain materials and sub
| jecting them 10 a certain degree OF
heat or cold. Instead Of being purely
a matter of accident.
! You will hear these women say that
they had good luck with their cake,
or bad luck with their bread. and for
neither good luck nor bad luck do they
hold themselves responsible. In the
same way women regard the success
or failure of their sisters. They extol
Mary's good luck in always having
good jobs, and Susie's bad luck in
never being able to keep job at all,
and the mere detail that Mary is high
ly competent and reliable, and Susie
lazy little shirker they overlook en-
| tirely.
! Luck is within ourselves. We make
our own chances, and it will be glad
! day for women when they realize that
| they are the master of their own des-
| tiny instead OF being the sports OF
| chance.

WomeRs god is the great god Luch.
No other word is on a woman's lips so
often as the word luck. When she is
happy and successful she speaks of
herself as being lucky. When she is
miserable and a failure she deplores
her bad luck.
A woman very rarely formulates any
definite plan of action or is guided by
any philosophy of life. She plays the
game OF existence on a hunch and
attributes the results to chance, which
absolves her from either praise or
blame. She feels no personal re-
sponsibility in the matter.
1t is this blind fatalism that eN-
plains why women use so little intel
ligence in solving their own prob
lens, why they bring so many need
less sorrows down upon their own
heads, and why the majority of them
can do the same thing over every day
of their lives for seventy years and
never learn to do 1t properly. 1t is
because they are obsessed by the su-
perstition that results lie on the
knees of the gods, instead of in their
own hands, and nothing that they
| do, or leave undone. changes the
issue.
! A woman knows, for instance, that
! the happiness of her whole life de-
pends absolutely upon the kind of a
man she marries. She will be happy
IL she rnarries a man who is moral
sober, industrious. tender, kind and
generous. She will be miserable II
she marries man who is a philan'
derer. or a drunkard. loafer or one
who is hard cold and stingy.
1t is not difficult for a woman tc
| find out before marriage which ol
| these chara cteristics a man possesses
but does the woman do so? Never
| She is firmly convinced that matri'
| mony is a lottery, and that whether
! she gets good husband or oao
one, depends so entirely upon chance
! that she doesn't take the trouble tc
/ make single investigation about the
man to whom she is binding herself
! for life. She will deliberately marry
drunkard expecting him to become
sober. or a roue on the chance he
\ will reform. or take a long shot al

Large Audience with

The National Theater was crowded

URGE LAWS FOR
MINOR CHILDREN
Congress Urged to Enact
Legislation for Dependents
Advocated by Roosevelt.

Resolutions calling for the enact
ment of legislation providing for the
better protection of dependent children
were yesterday forwarded to the Dis
trict Commissioners by the executive
committee of the Chlldren's Council.
Without assuming to anticipate the
final verdict in the Greer case" the
resolutions state, I'VE desire TO urge
immediate action along the lines rec
commended ten years ago by Presiden,
Roosevelt In a special message to
Congress dated February l5, 1903. fol-
lowing the findings of the White
House conference on the care Of de-
pendent children"
The recommendations made by Pres
ident Roosevelt were as follows:
/. That the approval OF the Board OF
Charities be required for the incor-
poration of all child-caring agencies.
2. That the Board of Charities.
through its duly appointed agents,
shall inspect the work of all agencies
caring for dependent children.
3. That the education of children in
orphan asylums and similar institu-
tions in the District of Columbia shall
be under the supervision of the Board
Of Education.
4. That agencies engaged in child
caring work shall be required by law
to adopt adequate methods of investi-
cation and make permanent records
relative to the children under their
care and to exercise faithful super
vision over their wards until legally
adopted.
Il deem such legislation not i'm
portant for the welfare OF the chill
dren," President Roosevelt declared,
but as setting a high standard or
child protection for the several
States"
"In order TO make impossible here
after such alleged cruelty as charged
in the Greer case" the resolutions
recommend the licensing OF baby
farms. day nurseries and homes for
the care OF children. and that persons
assuming the care OF children not re-
lated to them by blood or marriage
be required to report to some author
ity whether money has been left for
the care OF the child.
The Commissioner are urged to
draft and present 10 Congress suitable
legislative measures covering the rec
concentrations made by the committee.

LAUNDRY FREE FOR
WOUNDED SOLDIERS
Army Henceforth Will Relieve Pa
tients of Wash Day Work.

A century old provision that pa
tients at military hospitals must
pay for their own laundry. was cut
out OF the manual of the Medical
Department yesterday by an order
of Surgeon General Ireland.
This change is due in large meas
ure to complaints from men at hos
pitfalls who are wounded in such
manner that they cannot possibly
wash even handkerchief The
regulations up to this time did not
permit wounded soldiers or any
other patients to have their washing
charged to the hospital laundry.
General Ireland's order defines the
hospital laundry as the washable
clothing of patients under treatment
in hospitals" and provides that the
soiled clothing of patients will be
washed as a part of the hospital
laundry"
The order has been sent to all
surgeons at all camps in Europe and
America.
