A Stitch in Time

When we find the lawmakers at
Washington celebrating over what
they call the immigration question,
we are liable to dismiss the matter
as one of little or no consequence
to us.
The truth seems to be that a
veritable food of Europeans is pre-
pairing to pour into America soon.
Steamship companies estimate the
number at fifteen million, which is
approximately equal to the COM
bined populations of the five states
OF Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Ne
braska and Missouri. Most of
them are coming either from the
southern countries OF Europe or
from the central empires. The
seaboard cities of Europe are
crowded now with families that
have sold all their possessions and
are on their way to America; and
they are said to be only the adj
vance guard of a veritable host
that expects to follow before long.
If all these come, especially at a

time like the present when our own
unemployed numbers more than
two million with several million
more dependents, it is easy to see
our country turned presently into
a scene Of hopeless misery with
multitudes out of work and facing
starvation. This is the dark pic
ture which tho~e think they see
who are looking ahead a little; and
it is to avert some such calamity
as this that Congress is considering
the enactment of a law, known as
the johnson bill, prohibiting all
immigration from Europe for q
period of one year. The House of
Representatives passed the bill re-
Gently rather hurriedly as they be-
lleved an emergency existed which
demanded swift action.

The Problems Of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
Blue Monday

Why blue Monday? Why is Mon
day bluer than other days?
Because of the housewives desire
to get the hardest part Of the work
Of the week done and out of the way
it has been the custom since the
time of our grandmothers to do the
family washing on Monday.
If there was no other work to be
performed on this day the arrange
ment would be all right, but Mon
day usually finds the larder empty
Of prepared food and general dis
order in the home owing to the
usual work not having been per-
formed on Sunday.
For the same reason there is an
accumulation of jobs waiting to be
performed, not the least of which is
brushing and putting away the gar
ments worn on Sunday
The result is hastily picked up
meals, littery home and, because
of tired bodies and overstrained
nerves, discordant atmosphere.
In some homes the rule is iron
clad and nothing is allowed to stand
in the way of the washing being
done on Monday.
The other and sometimes more
necessary things may wait or be
given click. and a promise" or
even go undone but the washing

They Come to Early Grief

When the case against Mrs. Pat
terson was finally called up, the at
torney for Mr.. Liebnitz led off by
trying to prove from history that
a woman has always been regarded
as chattel, or a mere piece of
property, rather than a person.
He began about three thousand
years back and brought his MARIA
tive down by slow and painful
stages to about seven hundred
years ago, or say bout three hum
dred years before Columbus time.
just here, however, he came to a
halt, for the. judge stopped him
with the remark that the business
OF the court in this case was to de-
termine the legal right of woman
to hold the office of justice Of the
peace in the state of Michigan,
rather than to listen to a historic
dissertation; and further that
since neither evidence nor argu-
ment on the case at issue seemed
to be Forthcoming, the case would
be dismissed without listening to
the remainder of the attorneys
discourse. So the matter ended;
and probably no one will ever know
what the learned lawyer had in
mind yet to say unless he happens
to tell some of his neighbors or
townsmen outside the court room.
Further, it appears that if Mr..
Liebnitz's only chance OF escaping
payment of mis- note depends upon
his ability to disqualify the women
of the United States from holding
the office of justice of the peace, he
will probably have to pay the note.
For Mrs. Patterson is still doing
business at the old stand, which in
this case is her home, as she holds
her court in her living room.

Still Another Harding

The high school at Marion, Ohio,
Is called the Harding school. 1t
was not named for Warren G.
Harding, president-elect of the
United States, but for his sister,
Miss Abigail Victoria Harding,
who teaches therein and who is
greatly loved and respected by the
inhabitants of the city in which the
Harding family was brought up.
During the campaign of the past
autumn, she would occasionally
leave her desk during a vacant
hour and hurry over to her broth
er's home, which is near the school
grounds, to hear him deliver some
important political address from
his front porch. Then she would
return to the work which is for her
more interesting than politics, for
like all other successful teachers
she loves her teaching above near
iy everything else in life. More
ever, she likes to teach in the home
school, as is indicated by the fact
that while she has had many Of
fers of seemingly better positions
elsewhere, she has uniformly re-
fused them.
She is mistress of the old home
in which she, herself, and all her
brothers and sisters were reared.
The recollections and associations
which cling around it may consti-
tute another reason for her unwill-
ingness to leave it.

peace Of the village Of Plymouth,
Michigan. So far she has had no
difficulty in dlscharging the duties
of her Office, her decisions in the
cases brought before her having
uniformly met with the approval
of the people Of the community.
Recently, however, she caught a
tartar in one William Liebnitz,
whom she summoned to appear
before her regarding the non-pay-
ment of note which he had given
for an automobile. Mr.. Liebnitz
answered through his attorney,
asking that she be removed from
office on the ground that "she was a
married woman, the wife of Patter-
son, of the village of Plymouth, to
whom her services as q matter of
Law belong, and who is legally and
presumptively entitled to exercise
a coercive influence over her; and
a woman by law not icing per-
mitted to exercise judicial Office
and to discharge the duties there
Of, she being sexually unable to do
so as q matter of nature and q
matter of law"
AS q result, Mrs. Patterson had
to 60 into court to defend her own
right and the right Of her sex to
serve her fellows in so humble an
Office as justice Of the peace.

Senate Retains Composure

Senate Retains C0mp0sufe
The Senate, which is nearly al
ways more deliberate in its actions,
as would be expected from the up
per law4naking body, has refused
to be stampeded by the alarming
stories of the deluge of human be-
ings about to pour into our coun-
try from Europe. Instead of act
ing upon the johnson bill rompt.
Iva committee was appointed to
investigate the necessity of pro.
vidlng emergency legislation Of
this kind. The committee, after
examining a number of witnesses,
reported that the actual existence
of the alleged emergency could not
be proved, which probably means
that the Senate will not act favor
ably upon the present bill, but will
take its time to frame an immigra-
ton law, not to operate over a Pc
Rod of one year but several.
There is considerable criticism of
this course on the part Of the upper
house. One reason given for this
is that mere find on the part of
the committee that an emergency
could not be proved does not prove
at all that such an emergency does
not exist, and that in such case
our own country should have the
benefit of the doubt. Stated other
wise, the law should not wait until
the emergency is proved to exist,
but should be enacted as soon as
the probability of such an emer-
gency appears. The other critics
of the Senate are saying that its
slowness is due to the influence
OF big business interests which
would like to see a food Of cheap
labor pour into America. This
latter charge should not be taken
too seriously. 1t is true that
many employers would like to
see cheap labor come in; but the
statement that the Senate is try
ing to serve the interests of these
people has no other ground than
suspicion. This is never a just
ground for the criticism of public
servants; and fair-minded people
will discount censure of this sort
wherever they find it.

Cold-slaw is refreshing and
wholesome addition to q dinner. A
firm, crisp head Of cabbage should
be used for the slaw. A half-hour
before serving, cut the head through
the center, remove the core and slice
the cabbage as finely as possible.
Mix the cabbage with the cream
salad dressing, made thus:
! tablespoon salt
teaspoon ground mustard
II tablespoon sugar
A few grains Of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons -four
egg yolk
II tablespoons melted butter or
butter substitute
Soup milk
/ cup vinegar.
Mix the d y ingredients, add the
egg yolk, slightly beaten, then the
butter, milk and vinegar very slow
ly. Cook the mixture in double
boiler until it thickens, and when
cool pour it over the cabbage. tits

cabbage is one of the most indigest-
ible Of foods, raw cabbage is one of
the most digestible.

A Pair of Male Dissenters

Since last July, Mrs. Phoebe
Patterson has been justice of the
New-York tribune., 1921-05-22

which appeared April 20, 1919. Miss
Balderston is an authority on the
subject and following is the desired
formula:
To polish soiled wood by cleaning
it use one quart of boiling water to
which has been added one table
spoonful of turpentine and three
tablespoonfuls of boiled linseed oil.
(If the wood is very light, like birds
eye maple, use lemon OIL
When cool enough SO that the cloth
may be wrung cut comfortably it is
ready for use. Wash the wood with
piece of cheesecloth and this soIu-
ton and wipe with second piece of
cheesecloth. Mix only one quart al
a time, as the mixture will soil quick
~ and should not be used to clean
after it is soiled. This mixture can
be used on any woods except white
enamel. There is no paiSe IA eling
enamel paint.

this is due to the haif-inch steel
