WHY ROMANS HONOR CoRNELIA

"All men rule over women; we
Romans rule over all men, and our
wives rule over u.s." said Cato, the
censor, when he had an attack of
nerves. Among notable Roman
women the mind fits-fascinated-
from Lucretia to Cornelia, and lin
gers with wonder at the name of
Messalina. Cornelia lived in the days
of the Roman republic. Daughter of
Scipio Africanus, conqueror of Han
nibal, she inherited the stern vir-
tues of her father. Married in SO
B. c., to Sempronius Gracious, she
was left a widow with II children.
Only two survived their youth, two
sons, Tiberius and Saius. She de-
voted herself exclusively to their
education, and in after days these
distinguished orators and statesman
avowed they owed everything to their
mother. She declined the suit of
King Ptolemy of Egypt. All her
magnificent powers and learning
were consecrated to the two boys.
The Roman people erected monu-
ment to Cornelia, with this inscrip-
ton: "Cornelia, Mother of the Grac-
Chi"
"Give her of the fruit of her
hands; and let her own works
praise her in the gates. "-Provebs.

the spoken language of these I'M
fortunates. We mothers must in
sist that our children speak their
words correctly the very first time
they attempt their use. We must
persistently insist that the stop and
repeat correctly any sentences he
has spoken incorrectly. Let us
take the time and have them do it,
Let us hope that our teachers will
stress and stress oral interpretations
and reproductions for the sake of
language itself. Our public speak
ers and ministers owe it to our
children that they take care to
look up unfamiliar words and speak
them correctly. In the best of our
churches it is really shocking at
the number of words mis-pronoun-
ced in the course of an ordinary
service.
We have natural endOwments such
as low musical tone, breadth of
imagination and warmth of feeling,
which will render us masters of
language, if we will only fend our
energies to have something to say
and then know how to say ii. Be
ing an imaginative people, we read
lily create and use slang. Let us
create beautiful phrases of good
English and poetry if you please.
Then shall we be not only Ameri-
cans, but better Americans.

fried or boiled are used for making
a great variety of dishes and are
prepared for the table in other
ways; but the most common meth
cd of cooking them is in boiling

better. A properly grown and well
cooked vegetable will be palatable
and readily digestible Nearly every

A MOMENT WITH THE
CONDUCTOR
-ULIETTE LEE.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK,
THEN SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH"
.JULIETTE LEE.

There. is a movement being dis
seminated through our press and
being made concrete throughout the
country in various ways. This
movement is styled as American
ization." 1t means an attempt to
weld the various groups, which
compose our poly-glot civilization in
to what is terme' 100 per cent
Americans-TheT serious at
tempt to have 9 persons living in
this country have a similar inter-
probation of American ideals and
obligations.
One of the very first problems
which confronts this program is
that of our language. 1t has been
demonstrated that those groups or
individuals who speak the English
language are the most loyal citi-
zens. Then the first duty of this
Americanization movement has been
to try to eliminate foreign Ian
guage from our shores and to in
troduce our own language. The
children of our foreign born are
being taught English in the public
schools and in most states, we COM
pei their parents to send them. The
parents are gathered into Communi-
ty centers and taught American Gus
toms and common English usage.
The men are invited to the night
schools and encouraged to learn
and use the English language.
We, as a group of Americans, are
certainly DESTROYS of being the very
best Americans or as some style
1t, 100 per cent Americans. We
have, now it seems become con-
scious of the fact that we are no
distinct people living apart in this
country, but that we are American
citizens by right, having paid the
same price for our heritage that
Olhol udIiOub nave pdlu IOT JnelTS,
viz: Labor, Love and Life. But
cur duty and desire should be, to
be better Americans-If language
is necessary, let us examine our
language. Do we speak English
eyes, in way.) We must bend our
energies to get away from speaking
such English as Immediately it is
spoken brands us with undesirable
group distinction.
One can sit indoors and listen
to conversation outside and iden-
tity the racial group without hay
ing seen the persons.
We have an mate persistency
in using incorrect verb forms and
show a decided tendency to talk
with our mouths too wide open.
Now, is it not up to us as moth
ers and as teachers to dedicate our
energies to the formation of better
language within our group? /
know we have a hard job, because
we have among us many of those
who bear the marks of slavery on
their brows and we must deal gently
and sympathizingly with their pres
ence. Our children fall easily into

WEEKLY
LESSON IN CIVICS.
HAVE YOU A CITIZENSHIP GLASS
OFT CLUB? WHY NOT.

1t is not that we want to trans
fer any responsibility from the man
to the woman, but that we wish 10
shape with the men of this coun-
try the responsibility of the Govern
ment
"The woman's viewpoint can
never be the mans viewpoint, nor
is II possible for the woman 70
transfer her responsibility to her
Government to the man, a bit more
than 1t is possible for her to give
to the father of her children the
responsibility she has In the home
Each has a definite responsibility.
Each is fundamentally fitted to this
responsibility and can not sldestep
1t, without suffering to the family,
The same rule, then, must apply in
the affairs OF the Government. II
is not that the women alone will
do better In the affairs OF the world,
but that the women and men, join
ing HANDS ana worKIng together,
each having a part to perform, win
do better. In the main. the women
are going about their new respOn-
sibility with decent sense of hum
ility.
Hold Citizenship Schools.
For instance, at the close OF the
Chicago convention they held a citi-
zenship school. lasting a week. Five
hundred women were present and
stood examination and got certifi-
Gates and pledged to 60 home ana
hold citizenship schools in order
to assist those not able to attend
the convention to understand some
thing OF the responsibility OF the
vote. Thousands of women an
over the world hove and are study
ing politics, studying seriously. They
do not want to rush in where an
gels fear to tread unprepared.
ours Is the business Of the
home-the care of the children. We
have not been represented in poll
tics, therefore we see the lrnthlnk-
able condition Of millions Of dollars
being appropriated for the study
Of hog cholrae and tick eradication,
while the children of this land are
suffering from all sorts of handi-
caps, owing to the fact that such
small appropriations are made to
the children's bureau. We women
believe in studying the diseases Of
cattle and hogs, but we believe that
our children are more important
than any other animal and we would
give them what they need first.
and then give what is left to the
hogs and the other animals
"That the women are serious IN
this matter is proven by the laws
! of the States In which women vote.
Those States have better school
teachers, because the teachers are
better paid. They have better
buildings in which to teach. They
have better child laws. and the
laws are better enforced. We have
no fear but that the suffrage amend
ment will pass whether Delaware
honors herself by passing It or not
There will be other States which
have the vision and which will act"

CLUB NOTES AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES.
EACH DAY.

Each day we should whisper
Words of love and cheer;
And inspire some brother
Whose path may be drear.
Each day we should gladden.
Hearts with sorrow filed;
And awaken chords of mirth,
That have long been stilled.
Each day we should labor
To instill the truth,
And its kindred virtues
In the heart OF youth.
Each day we should struggle
Some ones life to bless;
And in blessing others,
Thereby bless ourselves.

s&A
When You Have Several Bits OF
Left-Overs in your refrigerator, in
stead of relocating each separately
and thus wasting gas, see how many
can be combined. For instance, II
you have some cold potatoes, a sau-
Ger of beans, leftover cereal and
an end of meat, cut all into small
pieces, fry some chopped onion
add the left-overs, and season well.
Just before taking from the fire a
beaten egg may be added. Besides
saving the gas, this makes an ap-
petizing luncheon dish.
Most Satisfactory Shoe frees,
which will keep your shoes in good
shape, may be made by cutting of
the feet of an old pair of stockings
Just above the ankles and packing
the feet tightly with shredded news
