W7H1LE the close of the war
w sees the return of many
women into peace-time in
dustries, it still leaves the servant
problem in an acute state. During
the war the exit of cooks and maids
into munition factories was tre-
mendous. Quite naturally the
housekeeper could not hold at $40
q month worker who could get So
q day in a cartridge or mask fac
tory. And it is still a question how
many such women are willing to
return to domestic service.
But In this article shall pass
this problem by and try to explain
how to make a success of the SER
vantless house or the one with only
workers for eight hours a day.
Some housekeepers may have
been brought to this condition by
war conditions. Why should they
not continue to get along without
servants, or at least without SER
wants permanently resident In the
house?
From the beginning the servant
problem has never been one of
wages or even of work. 1t has al
ways been one Of social relations.
One woman does not want to wash
dishes for another woman, largely
because in so doing she is regarded
as a social inferior. Further, she
has no private life of her own after
her hours of labor are done.
On the housewives side, the per-
manent servant entails the contin-
uous responsibility of person in
the family and yet not OF it. 1t
means the expense for board, room,
etc, as well as the actual cash
wages paid.
Now the moment a worker in the
home comes and leaves at a def
mite time she is instantly put on
an equal basis with the office
worker, the teacher, the factory
girl. She instantly has a life of
her own outside of stipulated hours
and is as free as she never can be
when employed. The self-respec-
ing young woman of to-day in this
democratic America will not enter
an atmosphere where she is either
constantly watched or where she Is
subject to a patronizing superior
Now also the moment a house
wife employs labor by the day she
IS largely freed from responsibility
for the morals or associations Of
her worker. She has no overhead
expense for room or even board.
Indeed, there is on both sides every
T. o. y n
the servant being done on a day
basis.
1t is often said by women that
under the new plan they never
could be sure Of the worker "show-

Naturally, an elaborate course din

modern tendency, greatly aided by
the war, is to have fewer dishes,

Each day and each week should

The best way to stimulate your
lazy liver is to stand before an open
window with your feet very wide
apart, your arms raised above your
head, elbows straight and palms
touching. Keep the knees and
elbows stiff, but throw the arms
out and down and back as far be-
tween the legs as possible, bend

fifteen or twenty times, inhaling
deeply all the while. This will
also improve the circulation.

A number of women have told
me that they have successfully
washed their hair in gasoline. But
If you use 1t you should try to keep
the gasoline away from the scalp
as much as possible, and you must
remember never to do 1t while
there is fire or open flame of any
kind In the room because Of the
infiammable nature of gasoline.
However, I am told 1t cleanses the
hair like a garment and makes It
especially soft and silken Of tex
ture. Use a bowlful of 1t and wash
the hair Just as you would in water,
changing the gasoline a. long % Il
remains discolored.

CUTTING SENTENCES
nv GERMAN REPLY
And They Were Emphasized Sharply by
the German Interpreters, Who
Were Reading the Response.

Versailles, Wednesday, May 1.-THE
scene at to-day's session of the peace
congress when the terms of the treaty
were presented to the German delega-
tion was impressive, and had its tense
moments. In fact, the entire half-hour
during which Count Won Brockdorff.
Rantzau delivered his reply to Premier
Glemencean was a period Of tenseness for
virtually everyone present
The speech was translated sentence bv
sentence by the German interpreters, who
did not fail to bring out with full en-
phasis every sharp phrase in it. Presi-
dent Wilson and Preniers Clemenceau
and Lloyd George put their heads to-
gether in evident anger at more than one
of the German spokesman's cutting ut
terances, as if they were deliberating
upon the adyisability of an immediate
answer
The program was unaltered, however
and when the German plenipotentiarie
had finished, Premier Clemencesu arose
and put the customary phrase: Has
anyone further observation to make -
and when there was no response, con
tinued: Il then declare the session
closed"
The allied triumverate remained after
the German delegates had left, for
half.hour discussion Of the new situation.
The scene within the hall during the
ceremony had little of the pomp and
glitter of earlier peace conferences. It
seemed to gain in impressiveness, how
ever, by the lack Of display.
At the head of the table the striking
faces of Premiers Clemenceau and LLOYD
George and President Wilson attracted
every eye. Marshal Foch, sitting with
the French delegation at the head of
one of the side tables was another con.
spicuous figure. The bearded faces of
the Serbian statesman, NJ. Pachitch, and
the Greek premier, Venizelos, as well as
the familiar head Of Ignaee Jan Pader-
ewski, the Polish premier, also stood out
from the mass of delegates. The impas-
sive faces of the Japanese representa-
tives, the Oriental lineaments of the
Chinese, the brown countenanees of the
Arabs from Hedjas, and the. presence of
the two delegates from Liberia and Haiti
gave evidence that this was really a
world congress.
The Germans, who entered the cham
ber' with all the confidence of victors,
bore themselves without trace of ner.
vousness and acted as If they were TAX
ing part in the deliberations on equal
terms with their adversares They were
preceded by functionary of the French
government, who loudly announced
"Messeurs, the German delegation"
Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau took the
center chair, with ls five colleagues and
Director Won Stocfhammer of the for
eign office, flankinY him on either side.
The secretaries aid their interpreters
took their places at tables in the rear.

also secretary Of the granite cutters
union of East Barre, clerk and treasurer
of the fire department district, No. l.,
and auditor of Barre Town accounts. The
numerous offices held by him brought
him in contact with people of all voca

The planes are equipped with radio
instruments which were thoroughly test
ed before the start. By the aid of these
instruments the navigators expect to
keep in touch with at least two patrol
ling destroyers during the entire fight.
Thus the planes can maintain communi-
cation not only with one another but
with land stations, so that prompt as
sistance may be given if any mishap oc-
ours.

HAVE NOT SEEN LLOYD GEORGE.
And American Delegates to ireland Deny
Trying to Do So.

London, May tBy the Associated
Press I'VE have had no conference
and have requested none, with Premier
Lloyd George, as has been stated In
fact, we see no reason why we should
confer with him. was a statement made
tonight by Frank p Walsh, chairman
of the delegation Of representatives of
Irish societies in the United States,
which has been visiting Dublin during
the last week. Mr.. Walsh left Dublin
last Monday night, leaving his coll
league. in that city.
"We wanted safe conduct from Ireland
to Paris for Professor Edward De Val
era and delegation representing the
Irish republic he continued, "and trans
mitted our request TO Mr.. Lloyd George
directly. He answered to Colonel +. NJ.
House that he wished to confer with us
before acting, but that his duties pre-
cluded his seeing us in less than a week
So we went to Ireland, and will be back
early next week to meet the premier.
"We want the Irish republics claims
placed before the allied diplomats at
Paris, and not the head Of any one gov
ernment."
Mr. Walsh stated that he came from
Dublin to this city on purely private
matters and had not made any effort
to see King George or any members Of
the government while here. He will re-
turn to Dublin tonight. He is travelling
on diplomatic passport. Mr.. Walsh
and the other members of the mission
will mark time in Ireland until next
week and then viii come to London. Mr..
Walsh tonight expressed confidence that
Irish representatives would be given an
opportunity to lay their case before the
conference in Paris.
