 Failure in United States.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 27.--Discussng the failure of the United States senate to ratify the treaty of peace between Allied and associated powers and Germany, La Prerza dwells on Sena- tor LenrOOtS reservation not permit ting dominions and colonies to out vote the United States and says:

 This reservation is connected by the newspaper with Senator Lodges res erVatiOn relative to Article K, which would prevent the United States from assuming obligations to interfere in or go to war without the consent of congress. Pointing out that the .p- plication of Article X. depends on the votes of the members of the league the newspaper agrees that in the United States as in Argentina and other New World republics, the right to declare war is the exclusive at tribute of congress-

 Questions.

Constantinople Nov, s26, (By the Associated Press.) - Appeals that early arrangeme be made for ne- sotiating a peace treaty sent by the Sublime Porte to the peace confer ence in Paris, are said to have been inspired by the fear that Turkey may be plunged into anarchy with no re. sponsib1e government left to treat with the Allies, At the same tune, the grand vizier is urging country districts to hurry arrangements for elections so that a paliam ent may meet here and be ready to discuss the terms or peace.

Since the inauguration of the plan of stopping the trolley ears on the west side of Central park rather than at the West Main street side of Cro- wells corner, passengers have fol- lowed the habit of cutting across the green on the park. This is bound in time to affect the growth of the grass and the pa>IS commissioners urge the public to avoid this.

 South of the snow belt heavy rains fell and floods swept the 1owlands bordering the Salt and AGua F-riar rivers in A riZOna with possible loss Of life.
 Suffering in many places in the cen- tral and southwest was in prospect because of the extreme cold and the limited fuel su oply resulting from the coal strike Cattle on the western ranges also were reported endangered.

years have gone in for everything
driving ambulances, flying, organic
ing relief work, or, like the Salvation
Army lassies, carrying their dough-
nuts and coffee up to the firing lines.
What immense energy! What ire
mendous power Of HUSTLE! One
thing that the war proved was
women's immense capacity for work.
The number of Inconsistencies that
forgot their ailments and got busy
was proof enough Of the psycholo-
gist's believe that more nerve trou-
bles were caused by energy lacking
an outlet than by the traditional
overwork. The war work presenting
such wide variety, each woman
gravitated naturally toward what
she could do best.
Innumerable are the times that

it has been said and written of cases
of welded infelicity that all the
trouble was that the wife did not
properly understand the job of
housekeeping. Had she been up
in it as her grandmother was";
eff daughters were only properly
trained in the duties of a wife,
all would have been we'll.
Yet l believe that the reverse is
true; that great number of the
cases. that end up in the Court of
Domestic Relations and numberless
others Of the marriages which have
the more tedious ending Of simple
boredom are non-successes precisely
because Of this insistence on the
idea that, whatever her talents and
inclinations, housekeeping is the
only profession proper to the woman
who has married.
Take the we'll known case of Jane
Welsh Carlyle, for whose professed
unhappiness the luckless Sage Of
Chelsea has been blamed for two
or three generations. She was
brilliant woman, but also a good
housekeeper-apparentlyf felt it up

to her to do that and nothing else
but had she written a novel, or
edited a magazine as a sideline, and
let some one else who might pos
sibly have had better understand
ing of dietetics run her culinary
affairs, possibly her Thomas's diges-
ton might have been better and
both would have been happy. When
she was getting out a new issue she
would have been serenely uncon-
scious as to whether Thomas were
in an amiable frame Of mind or not
AS it was, his digestion doomed too
large on the domestic horizon.
The mental state Of being tied to
an occupation in which one has
little skill and consequently has
slight interest, the being forced to
let go "by the board" other work
for which one cares, inevitably pro-
duces dissatisfaction with ones self
and with ones environment. It's
enough to queer any partnership, let
alone such an exacting one as mar
riage. Over and over again does man
try the experiment-Mrs. Grundy

rooms is that it has no servant prob
lem. Salary must be forgotten by
the employees. There are nineteen
persons working in the Chicago
boarding house, and the average
pay is $3.50 a year-.less than a
dollar day. There is no question
of hours. No day is too long; there
is no such thing as "overtime.' The
members belong to military organ
ization and are under strict rules
and regulations.
Another secret Of the Salvation
Army boarding house is that system
is used in the selection and buying
Of food. Coffee is served at break

for service at each meal. Meats are

and see for YOURSELF" said the girl
who lived at the Salvation Army
boarding house.
At $3.50 o'clock the girls met and
walked out Of the district of grimy
streets until they reached a small
park. On one side rose the gothic
walls of library, on another the
spires Of churches, and on another
was the brownstone structure that
had once housed an old and fash
ionable club of the city. The girls
turned in at the old clubhouse.
The lobby of grained and carved
oak, the huge fireplace and the big
comfortable chairs spoke welcome.
Merry voices, some bit tired, could
be heard. A Salvation Army ma
iron greeted the girls, and from
some place in the house came the
notes of player piano.
The dining room had once been
the club grill. Upon tables fresh
with clean linen and flowers the
following meal was served: Lamb
stew, fried potatoes, caulf1ower,
salad, pie, tea or milk, relishes,
bread and butter.
After dinner the girls scattered
about the large rooms of the house
and chatted or read until a gong
sounded.
"You don't have to come. 1t is
not in any sense compulsory, but if
you would like to attend prayers,
Join u.s."
In the big library the girls sang
few hymns and a Salvation Army
lass read chapter Of Scripture.
Then there was prayer.
Later the girls went to look over
the rest of the house. Upstairs the

will be prepared by the conserva-
ton centre to conduct their house
keeping on a scientific basis.
AS the storage of the jars of
fruits and vegetables is often seri-
Gus problem in the small space of a
tenement, free storage will be pro-
vided for these at the conservation
centres. A label with the name of
the Gamer and the contents of the
jar will be pasted on each jar and a
ticket of ownership given to the own
Ell. BY presenting this ticket at any
time she may receive as many of her
jars as she desires. This system has
also another advantage, for it
teaches the housewife to plan ahead
and to use only the amount that she
really needs from her store.
This plan of free storage was
tried out last summer at Jacob Riis
House, and it worked out beautiful
ly except in one case where the

rooms were light and clean. Down
in the basement the whirr Of an
electric washing machine greeted
them. Girls were washing their
clothes, ironing and drying them.
Next day the girl who had been
war worker moved in. No sooner
was she settled than the matron told
her that the boarding house kept
list of business firms whose man
agenents were known. Within
few days she was successful in get
ting a job with one of these.
The girl has been at the Salvation

months. She now has a single room
and pays $3.50 a week.

CHE came from a small white
- cottaged town on the banks Of
the Illinois River, where twice
a week they have movies in the old
opera house. She never missed a
weekly news film, for the boy who
had kissed her laughing goodby
was toiling through the mud of Sois-

One night he~was thrown on the

After the armistice was signed
and the government no longer needed
her, there were other jobs aplenty
but none that paid $25 u week.
After laborious figuring, cutting out
restaurant meals, movie shows and
doing part of her own laundry, she
decided that she simply couldn't
make both ends meet on less than
$25 a week.
She felt that she would have to
