peal for increases totalling $1,000
600, 900 now is being considered by

household a baser creature than the en-
p.oyce Of the factory"
A bit rough on the men, seeing that
most of them say they actually prefer
wives who know how to cook and keep
house, but that the women refuse any
longer to be mere housewives. And,
certainly, an exciting experience awaits
the bold male who, in this day of
omanci patton, seeks to compel the frail
sex to abandon its modern aims and
return to the kitchen.
But perhaps these observations are
not exactly pertinent to America, as
Mrs. Hale was discussing English girls,
and those only of a certain class, who
hold different views from their Ameri-
can sisters.
Mrs. Hale found that many of the
girls who returned to domestic service
in London after the war would not work
for those who were kind to them, but
at the same time despiscd those whose
sway was too gentle. They knew how
servants ought to be treated, and yet
wouldn't accept that treatment for
themselves.
But most of Mrs. Hale's book, while
informative, is not written in a seri-
Gus vein, and however conditions may
have changed since she was in London,
her book will be read with enjoyment.
The author is Il sympathetic, charming
and witty woman who knows how to
tell a story, and she has a great store
of good stories at her command. Most
Of these are humorous and cheerful.
because that seems to be Mrs Hale's
natural mental bent She is constantly
referring to herself as very old
woman, more than forty years old, as
one who has passed the milestone of
sentiment, but is constantly encounter
ing it,
She is always running away from
love, to hear her tell it, and always
finding it.
She travels in the London tube and
a handsome man thrills her middle
aged heart, much to her astonishment
and the enjoyment of her reader. She
tries to arrange the love affairs of
her dearest woman friend, with the
results revealed in the last chapter.
She sorrows over the heart tragedy of
youth who has renounced his great
romance because he thinks he has tu
bercuosis, and she sets him right.
ha
woman, who goes to the London
metropolis in the days of its reblrth
II 1t may be described so, and paints
its problems in gay coors, so as to
make them interesting and understand
able This she does with remarkable
success, the result being breezy
cheerful and chatty book which holds
the attention of the reader to the end
Of the last chapter.

The Story of a Creole Wait

Palmetto, by Stella G. S. Perry
(Stokes), is little complicated by the
fact that it is furnished with three dia-
lects-Creole, Irish and darky. When
one lightly vaults the dialects one finds
it to be an intensely sentimental story
of beautiful Creole waif, whose pa
trician lineage is enshrouded in mys-
terry. The solving of the mystery dis
closes a good old-fashioned melodra-
matte rivalry, duels and intrigues over
the dancer, the waits mother which
ends with the triumphant vindication
of the dead dancers virtue and the
heroine's right to enter the proud
family which repudiated her. The set
ting of the story is in the picturesque
streets and bayous Of New Orleans.

short stolies, Jetfery E. Jefery
sketches the aftermath of the war
IN English life The characters in the
stories are mostly soldiers and ex-
soldiers, and their attitude toward
poAtica! and social problems is almost
invariably liberal or radical. The
sucaltern who refuses TO conform to
the conservative spirit of the officers

unprej judiced thinking; the young radi-
Cal who conceives a violent hatred for

OF the war; the old lady who bears the
stigma of pacihsn and goes about un-
obtrusively doing good; these are typi-
cal figures in MIR. Jetferys work Oc-
casionally the author departs from the

that the Paris Commune grew out of
a broadened and deepened strike"
Right to Strike Upheld
"The right to strike must not be pro-
hibited. Such legal prohibition would
not cure industrial discontent; It would
only aCgravate it. The right to cease
work is an essential liberty given to
all men by the Constitution. We must
get at the cause of the strike if we
are to make any headway toward peace.
Back Of the strike is a grievance, real
Or fancied. We should search it out, and
this requires conference, examination
Of the facts and a machinery to bring
about justice between the parties. The
peace table should be substituted for
the pitched battle. Collective barga II
ing is only granting to the working
men a voice in their own affairs. The
voices Of thousands of unorganized
workingmen are a whisper, while the
voice of an employer is a shout Men
in all walks of life use the principle Of
dealing through their chosen repre-
sentatives, and it works; our govern
ment is built on this principle We
elect representatives to act for US.
Why should workingmen not have the
right to pick their own representatives
and deal with their employers in the
making of wage scales and working
conditions?' ~
Hope for the New World
Let respect for the law light the
way in this day of unrest. If we do
we shall not stumble. We are facing
east The new day is breaking. A
better understanding is in sight. Let
no one stand in the way of compro-
mise and concession. To avoid entan-
Cling alliances it is not necessary to
abandon Europe. To put an. end to
war some open agreement of nations
is necessary. Secret treaties must
cease the new internatonahsm must
be covenant insuring the democracy
of the world. Americas place is in the
vanguard of the nations. We are a
world power; we cannot escape our
place and our responsibility in the
family Of nations.
America for Americans and all for
humanity might not make bad for
eign policy.

sions of modern industrial unrest and

TOM. Mr.. Comerford went to Europe
after the end of the war to investigate
the causes of social strife. Some of
the more striking passages of the book
are here quoted:
Europe in Rags
Europe is in black rags; the black
her mourning, the rags her poverty
Her face is furrowed, trenches made
by suffering. Her eyes are downcast
and dead. Hope futters weakly in her
breast; faith has almost faded from
her soul; her home is house of dark
ness. The fire on her hearth has
turned to cold gray ashes. The kettle

weary, her body wasted. Hunger has
robbed her of strength Her feet are
blue from cold. Her lips wear priva-

lashes her shivering, half-naked body
She mumbles as she stares vacantly
into space-she is tired, so tired
1t seemed to me that a face so trou-
bled and sad must have never known
a smile"
For League of Nations
"The failure to establish league of
nations would be a.-world tragedy and
IN its wake may come revolution. The
ground gained by the war would be
lost and the dead would have died in
vain, for they fought to end autocracy
and its champion, militarism. Until

vide machinery for the arbitration OF

BOOZE" HAS ANCIENT
 HONORABLE ANCESTRY

CLEVELAND, O., June l9- "Booze" has had it's ancient and hon. orable ancestry in the English Ian guage uncovered here recently by Prof. William H. Hulme, of Western Reserve university.
 Labeled for generations as m chronological outlaw and branded as such with quotation marks, Professor Hume finds "booze" has pedigree longer that that of most kings. It's earliest spelling, according to Profcs- sor Huime, was "bowsie". Later writ ing, show it was "bouse" and finally "booze."
 Both as a noun and verb the word Professor Hulme said, written bowse in middle English literature as far bacl; as 1900, had the meaning to drink to excess. About 1600 the word lost the honorable character it had and became a slang word. The par ticular housing is recorded as early as 1929, and 'bouser' was used in Eng fish in 1611."
