Jobs In coOkingi Cooking Is a mans
Job and woman's place Is the parlor."
AS matter Of fact, there probably
are highly paid chefs today who feel
Just that way about 1t.
The situation was getting to the
point where there was no place for
the women In the working world to
go but out. There are even some ex-
tremists who believe that the care of
children should be taken out Of the
home and away from the mothers
hands.
1T is here the clinging vine gets
into the picture" said Miss Laughlin.
"She developed as a dollhouse plant,
because there was nothing much for
her to do. Industry had been moved
from the home. Woman's place was
still in the home, but there was moth
ing for her to do. Often the mothers
OF these idle girls were responsible for
their parasitism. because they had had
to work so very hard themselves that
their ideal for their daughters was a
condition which would make 1t pos
sible for them to do nothing harder
than sit on cushion and sew fine
seam.
But the swing backward toward
primitive standards, when woman was
a worker, to the cave man period, IL
you choose, made long sweep during
the war. Women had been seeping
into the professions and businesses
before that time, but their progress
had been almost imperceptible.
"Thus old-time efficiency, inherited
from their Industrious grandmothers,
no doubt, asserted itself with their new
wartime Jobs. Employers were salts
fed and clients made happy. So the
women are staying with their new
work."
According to Miss Laughlin, there
Isn't anything disastrous In the situa-
tion. She believes that there Is plenty
Of work to be done for both men and
women In Industrial and professional
lines.
efficiency and work are not mat
ters of SEX" Is her dictum.
Miss Laughlin is far from the cave
woman" in looks, but she Is endowed
with a vlgor of mind and spirit which
would do her cave grandmothers
credit. Miss Laughlin practices law
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
verslty, one Of two women In her class.

In college. A number of years nro
Miss Laughlin went &c 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
they retained her even when the mca
returned to their Offices.

ton. And IL the modern man Is 60
ing to have visions of the good old
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 q hotel,
Miss Laughlin went into the subject
with New York Tribune reporter In
manner which showed that she has
given much study to the domestic ar
engagements of the man and the woman
whose wooing consisted Of footrace
and blow on the lady's head with
some hard, blunt instrument.
IF 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 men, unless perhaps
II Is hunting and fishing. Back In that
Ideal period for which the modern man
pines practically all Of the work be-
longed to the women. SO when our
men talk about mans work I'd like to
know Just what they mean"
Kipllng is one Of the few men 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 AUST So" stories, which he
told to his best beloved" You will
remember the place where 1t says:
1.-THE man was Wild, too. He was
dreadfully 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 II was. She
picked out nice. dry cave (proving,
by the way, that there was 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 Wen 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 or" said
Miss Laughlin, me 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 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
the work of one OF the sexes we might
as well admit that every man In in
dustry Is doing work which was orig
lnally woman's work

cerned with war and hunting. And

Hawaii Shares With
Maui In Publicity

Maui is to share with Hawaii in
some excellent advertising for tour
lists which is being done by the Ha-
wall Publicity Commission. l.. w. De
Wis Norton says that he secured the
films of Maui to go with the Hawaii
films he bought so the Big Island
commission is giving Maui the benefit
OF h purchase. The films went to
w. II. Sellender of the Matson Navi-
cation Company on the recently
on the Maui and will be shown on
Matson steamers on the way to the Is
lands from San Francisco:
The film is in two sections the first
dealing with the Hawaii National park
and covering the ascent of Haleakala
on the island of Maui, daybreak is
seen from the rest house on the sum-
NIT of the mountain, a wonderful
panorama of the great dormant crater
and an inspiring sunset is seer from
above the clouds. This latter picture
is a marvellous production for it was
shot directly toward the sun which is
shown gradually sinking through the
sea Of cloud which at once becomes
brilliantly illumined with a marvel
lous afterglow.
The rest of the film deals with XII
lauea Volcano and it's surroundings
and includes a most interesting series
of close-ups of lava in action, both by
day and by night. The second film
covers the entire island of Hawaii,
showing all the points of chief scenic
interest. The sugar and coffee indus
tries are fully dealt with and the
spectator Is taken upon a complete
circuit of the Big Island visiting it's
great gulches, waterfalls, it's heiaus,
its lava trees and other wonders.

Scoutmaster read it carefully too, and

movement. He thought more serious
ly when in order to receive his certifi-

al application blank and give reliable
witnesses as to his character. And
when, a week or two. later, it had not
blown over, and he looked at the boy

shrill tones repeat without a break:

To do my duty to God and my coun-

Hampton, Va.-''The real respOn-
sibility for the solution of inter-raeial
problems in the South rests directly
upon the hearts and eonseienees of the
Christian forces of our land" The
Christian Leaders Conference on Inter
racial Cooperation, held at Blue Ridge,
n. c., under the auspices of the Com
mission on Inter-raeial Cooperation,
summarized in these words its appeal
to the Christian people of the South.
The Christian Leaders platform (1)
declares lynehing to be a crime against
the Nations honor and calls upon the
South for an incorporating oppOsi-
tion to all mob violence; (2) urges lay
men throughout the South to keep in
close touch with the administration of
justice, particularly in the petty courts,
and to form legal-aid societies for the
benefit of the poor and unprivileged of
all races; (3) urges that adequate and
equitable arrangements be made for the
safety and comfort of Negro travellers;
(4) deplores the insanitary and bad
housing conditions among Southern Ne
groes and calls upon Christians for ac-
tive cooperation in Fighting such con-
ditions; (5) holds that ignorance
breeds disorder, vice and crime; (6)
urges ministers to teach people to ap-
ply Christian principles to their treat
ment of the eolored race; (O calls on
all the Christian forces to cooperate
