The Wages Of Women

The employment Of women in
the industries and in public SER
vice is probably receiving more at
tention in all civilized countries
just now than ever before.
Two specific questions are in
volved. One is, Should they be
allowed to perform the work Of
men at time when there is not
work enough to go around? The
other is, Should they be paid the
same wages men for the same
work?
In the government offices at
Washington, $4,000 women are
employed but only $4,000 men.
However, when it comes to- SAL
aries, the comparison is all in IA
vor Of the men. Of 5000 ap-
pointments recently investigated,
only FIVE per cent of those going to
women paid more than $1,000
while forty-six per cent Of those
going to men paid more than this.
In the Women's Bureau of the La
Dor Department, the highest salary
allowed is $4,000 while in the
Mems Bureau of the same depart
ment, the pay for similar work il
$4,000.

Association in its behalf. The plan
was originally used by Mr.. and
Mrs. Sherry with the Indians of
the Pine Ridge reservation in
South Dakota. 1t has been en-
ployed on several of the Indian
reservations and is being intro
duced into our own public schools.
Children love to initiate their
elders and, having a farm Of their
own, which they can cultivate
themselves, gives them great pleas
ure. The teachers instruct them
but do not interfere with their
freedom in operating their farms.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherry believe that
this model farm plan teaches
children the value of home and
how to make one, and the farms
serve as miniature experiment
stations.
knowledge gained from expert
ence is more lasting and much
more interesting than that gained
from books alone, and it is of far
more working value.
Mr.. Sherry thinks this way Of
uniting manual training and indus
trial work furnishes the best kind
Of education for the head, hand
and heart.

A Policewoman

Mrs. Mary Wright, wife Of a
leading merchant n the town of
Neon, Kentucy, sought and OBJ
tanned the Office of policewoman,
and is the lone patrol of the streets
of the town, determined to restore
law and order.
Neon has been rated as lawless
town. Women and children have
rarely been permitted on the streets
at night, and in many instances
the movies we're unattended.
Grand juries made Investigations
without results for no one dared
to testify against malefactors.
Through Mrs. Wright's efforts a
transformation has already taken
place. "Men won't do; we have
tried them for years and things are
getting WORSE" she said, II saw
the necessity of stamping out the
whiskey traffic and other vices, and
applied for the job. | 60 on duty
as a policewoman with the sole
purpose Of doing my duty and
making Neon one Of the best
towns in Kentucky"
Mrs. Wright goes armed, and
she is a crack shot. She is an at
tractive woman on the sunny side
of thirty. She tips the beam at
two hundred and twenty-five
pounds which alone disposes evil
doors to think twice before court
ing trouble.

Why Women Earn Less

Ever since the middle of May a
committee of Congress has been
investigating the matter of salaries
to be paid to women employees in
the civil service.
In the course of the hearings, all
the time-worn arguments were adj
vanced as to why women should
not be employed in the govern
ment offices at all. However, they
did not seem convincing to the
committee, which held firmly to
the principle Of an open door as
between the sexes in the govern
ment service.
There is difference Of opini n
in the committee as to whether
men and women should receive the
same pay for the same work. AT
present it appears probable that
the decision will be in the negative.
Perhaps the strongest reason
why women will not be paid the
same.wages as men is that they dc
not as rule continue to serve as
long, but marry and quit the work
within few years. Marriage in.
creases a mans ineficiency anc
stability but it takes woman out
of the work altogether.

Zionism Strikes Rock

The world movement for the
restoration OF the Holy Land has
received violent setback. What
appears to be an irreparable split
has taken place between the
American and European branches
Of the Jewish organization which
is attempting to carry the enter
prise through.
In the worldwide organization
of Jewish leaders, there is an en-
ner Actions Council" consisting OF
seven men, all European Jews, in
whom is vested the real control of
the undertaking. This council re-
Gently criticised the American f.
nancial committee because it had
failed to enlist the support Of veal
thy American Jews. The COM
mittee retorted that American
Jews were not willing to contribute
until America was represented in
the Inner Actions Council. This
precipitated quarrel in which II
appeared that the Jewish leaders
of Europe are not disposed to al.
low to those of America the repre-.
sentation they are asking. Il
seems probable that America viii
be cut off from all further partici'
patton in the movement.

A housekeeping for Erie
4 4 + 4 + + \ + + + + + + +


The women of Erie, Pennsyl-
vania, have found a way to solve
one of the most difficult problems
that American voters have had to
meet in the past.
Their city has long been noted
for its vice. Prostitution, gam
bling, booze and graft have been
rife. The forces of vice and cor
ruption have been able to maintain
this condition by placing their
candidates on both tickets, after
which nothing that the voters
could do would affect the results.
The women of the city did not
accept this situation as peaceably
as the men had done. They be-
gan by inducing man of high
ideals and motives to run for con-
gress. Further than this, they
elected him. Then they started
an investigation of social condi-
tions which resulted in the indict-
ment of more than fifty keepers Of
places of ili-repute as we'll as an
indictment of the mayor of the
city for malfeasance in office.
The struggle is on in earnest at
present, but the women are win
ming; and when they are through,
it seems certain that Erie will be a
better place in which to live and
bring up children than it has been
in the past.

Farms for Children

The plan Of giving the child ex-
perience in his education in the
line of home-making is being tried
at Winnebago, Nebraska.
An acre Of land near the school
has been. donated by a public
spirited citizen for the children to
use in making miniature farms
and gardens.
Each child, upon entering school
at six years of age, is assigned a
farm thirty-three feet square.
There are forty Of these farms in
the acre Of ground.
Maps are made and studied and
the deeds duly recorded.
Each pupil divides his farm into
nine equal divisions, "a yard,
barnyard, an oat field, wheat field,
alfalfa field, a meadow, an orchard,
a corn field and a garden.
The pupils study the soil and
test the seed. They SOW, plant
and cultivate their farms just as
the grownups do.
During the winter, fences, gates
hen-houses, barns and cottages are
planned and built in the manua
training classes.

Wisconsin Sets New Example

Wisconsin Sets new Example
Wisconsin is the first state in the
Union to bestow upon women abb
solute legal equality with it's men.
1t is true that the women of all
the states are allowed to vote by
the nineteenth amendment. How
ever, this privilege ends in many
cases with the ballot box; and
there have been no states until
this month which actually gave to
women all the legal rights and
privileges enjoyed by men. In
some, they we're restricted as to
the holding and conveying Of prop
erty, in others as to jury service,
while in still others they we're not
allowed to hold office, to enter in
to contracts, or to do certain other
things which men are permitted
to do.
Wisconsin has removed every
restriction of whatsoever kind. As
some members Of the legislature
have put it, the women may even
"wear trousers and stand on the
street corners chewing tobacco" il
they wish to do so ia the future.

Lye for Peeling Peaches


What farm woman hasn't hoped
and prayed for the day when peel
ing peaches without stained fingers
would be reality? The time has
come instead Of the pairing knife,
use I've. The South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station has found this
method O. X. Here are the adj
vantages: l. The fruit retains all
its flavor and frmness. 2. There
is nothing harmful in the finished
product. 3. The work is simple,
sanitary and economical. 4. A
bushel Of peaches peeled with I've
will fill twenty-five quart cans
six cans more than a bushel peeled
with a knife or machine. S. Ripe
soft fruit can be peeled as readily
and as we'll as firm fruit. 6. Small
fruit can be peeled as readily as
large.

Oranges Good for Invalids

When a patients mouth be-

night, a piece Of orange held in the

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
The Stages of Childhood

In the management and control
of children, we shall do we'll, it
seems, to recognize three distinct
periods.
The first is that Of early child
hood, which ends at about six.
During this period the parents
will is supreme, subject only to
the injunction that the child's nat
ural instincts should not be need
lessly or thoughtlessly trans crossed.
The great achievement of this Pc
Rod is the formation by the child
Of most of those personal habits
which are to follow him through
life.
The second period Of childhood
extends from about six to perhaps
twelve years of age. During this
time, the child, who is learning
moral values and coming into a
knowledge of right and wrong con-
duct in his relations toward others,
has an actual right to know the
reasons for the demands and re-
quirements that are laid upon him
by his parents. 1t is out of rea-
soning of this sort at this particu-
1 lar time in his life that the ideals
and standards which are to deter
mine his later conduct and charac-
ter really come.
The third period of the child's
developing life extends rightly
through his tteens." This is the
time for him to learn to choose it
we'll with just as little external in
fuence or pressure as possible. He
is on the threshold Of a larger life
in which every act is to be deter
mined by himself. He MUST be
given practice in this sort of thing
for in no other way can it be
learned.
If parents would recognize and
be truly guided by the great re-
uuirements and aims of the three
periods named above, it is safe to
say that there would be fewer chill
dren failing to attain to the goal OF
useful manhood and womanhood

To Clean Bed Springs

~ SAC0u OSO
Dip an old dish mop into kero-
sene, wiring it out and work it in
around each small space of the
springs. It will save your hands
many scratch, remove the dust
and at the same time prevent the
springs from rusting.
While eggs are cheap make a
quantity Of noodles and dry them.
If packed into alright jars and
kept in q dry place they will keep
for months and always be ready
for use.
Powdered whitening is fine for
cleaning windows. Make a thin
paste of whitening and water and
rub it over the glass. Wipe it off
with a soft cloth and polish.
If you want something unusual
in the way Of pastry, flavor your
custard pie with orange rind. An
addition would be to serve crushed
strawberries with it.
When filling a hot water bottle fol
one who has been taken i'll sud
denly use q funnel and you will not
scald your fingers.
