From, The Public To The Editor

ly every picture show you see which
| am sure arouses the contempt and
disgust OF every man. woman. Ind
child who sees it.
1t is the heroine affectionately hug
ging and kissing a dog. This fad
has been raging in moving pictures
for some months until now the pro-
ducers thing no picture complete
without it. II the heroine's pet Is not
dog, then It Is a cat and the cat
must be fondled and kissed, and II IT
is neither of these IL is some other
dumb brute. Only today I saw the
heroine kiss young rabbit. The
disease has not confined itself to the
heroine either, for only last week in
this the Capital of\the greatest ma
tion on earth walked into a NOV
ing picture show hoping to enjoy
a little wholesome amusement and
relaxation. but l was not in the place
ten minutes until the hero was shown
in a "dog scene"
I ask you in the name OF common
decency to make known through he

tempt which the self-respect,ng

The Government Clerk Who
Went to War Should Get
His Old Job Back
By EARL GOODWIN.

Thousands of went to war from this city leaving
desks IN the Government departments.
Some OF them volunteered to fight under their
try Hag some OF them drafted They had worked
at desks in Washington In the honorable business Of help
to conduct the ar Of the nation and when they saw
the nation going to they went right along with and
helped conduct the nations affairs in the fronne trenches
instead of in the office rooms
Now that they returning they read daily the news
of great parade and big doings for the boys The ct
zens OF Washington are busiy engaged in getting up

of the Government employees who to war for their

well on very little and to keep an
Impractical and unreasonable man
satisfied. No, to keep him satisfied
would be impossible: nothing ever
has as far as / can discover, so I
amend the word and will say in
stead to keep him from proposing
economies of which he knows moth
ing. and leave me sufficient peace
or mind in which to earn my living
and keep my sanity.
"Mr. Barkis," as I will call him,
belongs to the 'ihousefrau" type of
man-and do not for a moment be-
lieVe that the type Is rare. If they
would ouly do the entire job of
housekeeping everyone would be
deeply grateful. But their actfvi-
ties usually stop with impractical
suggestions, objections and unset
tling any domestic help one might
happen to have.
MT. Barkis has way of attend
ing grocery auctions and Buying
potatoes, -four. canned goods and
such things, which is all very well
as far as II goes. But having spent
money on these things. he expects
red meat, ice. green vegetables, tea,
coffee, butter. cereals, etc, to re-
produce themselves in the kitchen
by process OF spontaneous growth.
He can't understand how anyone
could spend on an average of 50 a
day for the extra necessities of a
family OF seven and often eight
persons. Mr.. Barkis takes his lunch
downtown, and 1t is a far more SUBJ
stantial one than we home lunchers
permit ourselves. He is, believe,
what is known as a prince among
men"
The upshot OF Mr. Barkis' domes-
tic arguments in relation to spinach

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems Workers
Especially for Washington Women

A CORRESPONDENT has writ
~ ten me an account Of her
case" which, / am free to
confess, would tax the wisdom Of
a Portia or domestic relations
court.
The lady is married and keeps
house, she is also a war worker
and earns a good salary-for
woman. Her trouble is that no
matter how carefully she ad-
ministers the family budget and
how much time she devotes to
planning an economical and we'll
balanced ration for meals, her hus-
band is never satisfied.
He continually says the table
might be furnished for less. That
some item might have been left off
the menu. The reverse OF the
medal is that other members of the
family frequently complain OF
being hungry at humiliatingly short
intervals after meals, and several
servants have left in succession,
claiming they did not get enough
to eat.
The family consists of seven
persons, and every one but my
correspondent eats a good hearty
breakfast; she takes nothing but
coffee and a roll. Some members
of the household take lunch at
home and all dine.
The Gentlemanly Housefrau.
The husband whom she de-
scribes as a "housefrau type of
man. is addicted to attending
grocery auctions and buying po-
tatoes, canned goods. apples, -four,
etc., after which, she says, "he ex-
poets meats, fish, ice, green vege-
tables, tea. coffee, butter. rice,
cereals to reproduce themselves in
the kitchen by a process Of spon-
taneous growth"
She made the sum of ten dollars
provide for the foregoing necessi-
ties for a family Of seven people
for five days, and on the fifth day
the family was increased to eight
BY the addition OF cousin. Three
meals . day were provided. She
submits an itemlzed list Of pur-
chases consisting Of a flve-pound
Dot roast at 35c a pound, $1.75;
two kidneys at 50c,, one soup bone
25c. three pints Of oysters 75c.
