Young Man Perfectly Willing to Prac-

There is well-known banker
whose only son does not, his father
contends, appreciate the value Of a
dollar by about 90 cents. A short time
ago the youth approached the old gen.
tleman with request for consider
able sum in addition to his regular al
lowance.
Look here, my boy" the father
said severely. "You do not seem to
realize that you spend a great deal of
money-throw it away, in fact. Don't
you think it about time that you be-
gan to economic bit?"
Eyes, do, father" the young man
responded earnestly. "Been thinking
Just that-fine thing, economy; pro-
vide against rainy day, and all that

Miss Laughlin is far from the "cave
woman" in looks, but she is endowed
with a vigor Of mind and spirit which
would do her cave grandmOthers
credit. Miss Laughlin practices low
in San Francisco. She was born in
New England. Her college education
was secured at Wellesley and she was
graduated in law from Cornell uni
versity, one Of two women in her class.
Later Miss Laughlin went to Colo
RADIO, where she was active in politics,
women having been granted the right
to vote in that state while she was
in college. A number of years ago
Miss Laughlin went to San Francisco
and there she has built up large law
practice. At first her clients were
nearly all women. But the war added
men to the list And these men, who
went to her first because their former
counsel had gone to war, have found
the woman lawyer so competent that

"Now homework is diminishing to

LaughIin.
SIN the beginnings Of the profess
sions women did not make much of
q showing. They practiced medicine
in the actual care of the sick. But
medicine, as a profession, was linked
in primitive times with tribal leader
ship and with priestcraft to such an
extent that it belonged almost entirely
to men.
"It has been only in the last few
years that women were admitted to
our medical schools of any standing
And the few women physicians before
the war had little or no real practice.

Cooking, homemaking and dress
making are still done in the homes
all over the country to such an extent
that they are still considered wOmen's

with community housekeeping and

clothes, the day may come when the
men in charge of the machines that

Oh the nations, in this country, Eng

the industries.
Nov the surprise attendant upon
the news that women were working
in muniti0n factories, were running
streetcars and doing mems work in
offices wouldn't have been so great,
perhaps, if we had all remembered a
little more of our pre-history."
Miss Laughlin reminds US that in
his account of primitive races the late
| Otis Z. Mason, curator of ethnolOgy
in the United States National Museum,
points out some of the industries which
began as wOman's work. He says:
'"The slain deer lying before her cave

strikes off sharp flake of flint for

first cutler
with this knife she carefully re-
moves the skin, little dreaming that

"She rolls up the hide, then dresses

husband, thereby beginning the shoe
industry.
:. :'She was toymaker for her chill
dren, modiste, milhner, upholsterer,
wall decorator for her family. j
"She was at first and is now the
universal cook. From the grasses
around her cabin she constructs the
floor mat, the mattress, the screen, the
wallet, the sail.
"She is the mother of all spinners,
weavers, upholsterers, sailmakers."
Again he says:
"To the field she goes with the
basket or wallet strapped across her
forehead. By the sweat Of her face
she earns her bread and becomes the
first pack animal"
"Home again with her grain or
acorns, she thrashed and ground them
into -four or bran, thereby mothering
the thrashing industry and the mill
ing. Where it was impossible to find
caves or natural shelter for her family
she designed and built the first wig
vans and f0rerunners f houses, thus
being the first architect.
"Au the peaceful arts of today"
continues the account, "were once

days of the cave man he must be con-
sistent and include in his delectable
dream the real cave woman"
Later, in her apartment in a hotel,
Miss Laughlin went into the subject
with a New York Tribune reporter in
q manner which showed that she has
given much study to the domestic ar
engagements of the man and the woman
whose woolng consisted of a footrace
and a blow on the lady's head with
some hard, blunt instrument.
eff the men insist on delving into
the secrets of those monolithic prede-
cessors Of the New York apartment
house." said Miss Laughlin, "then they
must take the consequences and an
swer by what right they can call any
work the work of meA, unless perhaps
1t is hurting and fishing. Back in that
ideal period for which the modern man
pines practically all Of the work pc
longed to the women. So when our
men LdIk dDOuJ lildn WOlh L u Inv ~
know just what they mean."
Kipling is one of the few mon who
really understand what the relation
ship of the cave man and the cave
woman was, according to Miss Laugh
lin. AS proof Of her contention she
cites his "Just So stories, which he
told to his ''best Beloved. You will
remember the place,where It says;
:The man was wild, too. He. was
ldreadfully wild. He didn't even begin
to be tame until he met the woman
and she told him that>she did not like
living in his wild ways:
You will remember how it1was. She
picked out a nice, dry cave .Cprovlng
by the way, that there was a cave
woman before. there was a cave man),
and she cleaned house properly and
hung a dried wild horse skin across
the opening Of the cave and said:' ~
"Wipe your feet, dear, when you
come in, and now We'll keep house"
And the man came in and lay down
beside the fire that the woman had
built and went to sleep.
"But Just before he dOzed Off" said
Miss Laughlin, che probably threw
out his chest and remarked that he
was a cave man himself and believed
that a woman's place was In the
home"
And Miss Laughlin agrees with Mr.
Kipling in the theory that the motive
for keeping house was the protection
of the baby. Long periods without
food. which were bound to be part OF
the life of a nOmadic people, were
hard on the young, and that is the
reason the woman decided to keep
house.
'In the beginning, women did all the
work." says Miss Laughlin. IF we're
going to say that such and such is
fhe work of one of the sexes we might
as we'll admit that every man In in
dustry is doing work which was orig
lnally woman's work.
saThe real cave men were con-
cerned with war and hunting. And
the cave women had the industrial
field to themselves. Only when war
became less important did the men go
in for industries, and even then they
