nave seen in our great war the way in
winch men and women naturally lined
up on the primitive basis. The men
OF the nations, in this country, Eng
land, France and the Others went into
military service. The women took up
the Industries.
Now the surprise attendant upon
the news that women were working
| in munition 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 T. 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
or brush shelter or wigwam She
strikes off a sharp flake of flint for
knife. BY that act she becomes the
first cutler.
'EWith this knife she carefully re-
moves the skin, little dreaming that
thereby she is making herself the
patron saint of all subsequent
butchers.
"She rolls up the hide, then dresses
It with brains, smokes 1t, curries it,
breaks it with implements of stone
and bone until she makes her reputa-
ton as the first currier and tanner.
'With needle of bone and thread of
sinew and scissors of flint, she cuts
and makes the clothing for her lord
and family; no sign is over the door,
but within dwells the first tailor and
dressmaker,
"From leather especially prepared
she cuts and makes moccasins for her
husband, thereby beginning the shoe
industry.
"She was toymaker for her chill
dren, modiste, milliner, upholsterer,
wall decorator for her family.
~"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 flour 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 forerunners # houses, thus
being the first architect
"AI the peaceful arts of today"
continues the account, "were once
woman's peculiar province. Along
lines of industrialism she was pio-
neer, inventor, author and originator"
AS conditions became more settled
for primitive tribes, men gave up their
warfare and entered women's indus
tries. Gradually they cook nearly all
of them. AS work was taken from

ton. And If the modern man Is go
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 a hotel,
Miss Laughlin went into the subject
with New York Tribune reporter in
a manner which showed that she has
given much study to the domestic ar
rangements of the man and the woman
whose wooing 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
it 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"
Kipling 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
fin. AS proof of her contention she
cites his Gust So stories, which he
told to his 'best beloved" You will
remember the place where it says:
''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 it was. She
picked out a nice, dry cave (proving,
by the way, that there was cave
woman before there was cave mani
and she. cleaned house properly and
hung 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 off," said
Miss Laughlin, she 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. eff we're
going to say that such and such is
tbe work of one of the sexes we might
as we'll admit that every man in in
dustry is doing work which was orig
Iually woman's work.
.aThe real cave mem 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
did so on about a 1915 basis. We

ago and certain gentleman whose name is known
from one end of the land to the other made a
speech in which he told the women present he
didn't in the least sympathze with their being

clared it his belief they all ought to be at home
looking after the children instead of being gath

She followed the speaker just mentioned and

means they can't see any reason why women
should be anything except clinging vines.
