A Husband for Four Cents

The PSYCHOLOGY of the German
people seems to surpass our under
standing. The nation seems on
the road to economic ruin with an
industrial breakdown not many
months away. Yet we are told
that the marriage bureaus of Ber-
lin, of which there are several, are
actually flooded with orders for
spouses.
For ten marks, which would now
be worth about four cents in our
money, it appears that nearly any
man or woman can readily secure
a life partner. The Berlin news
papers are literally filled with des-
criptions Of marriageable persons
looking for mates. Advertisers
are required by law to state the
truth about themselves. A woman
who had overstated it was recently
sued for fraud by her new hus-
band; and as q result sue presently
found herself single again.
The puzzle is to know Why these
people are turning to marriage
with such alacrity just when ma
tional bankruptcy, with its long
train Of hardshlps and miseries, is
staring them in the face.

Lemon Rinse for Shampoo

Nearly all beauty parlors are
now using the lemon rinse as the
last rinsing water of shampoo
1t does not bleach the hair at all
but most certainly does bring out
all the luster Of any colored hair.
Simply add the juice of a whole
lemon to about a qnart and half
of water for the last rinse.

Another Aftermath of War

We have been reading of late of
women falling into various evil
habits, in which only men have in
dulged in the past. The latest re-
port is that mania for gambling
is on among the women of London.
For the most part. they bet on
the horse races. In certain Sec
lions of the city, the sbookmaker, I"
as the man is called with whom
the bets are placed, calls at the
homes as regularly as the milkman
or mail carrier to take the money
OF the housewives, most of whom
are lndulging in the vicious nrac.
tlce without the knowledge of their
husbands.
1t is said that the habit started
during the war among the wives of
workmen who were earning large
wages. However, it has spread to
every class of women; and all now
appear to be endeavoring to offset
the failing family income by win
ming at the races. Of course, they
will be disappointed, for the large
majority always lose in any form
OF gambling.

Our Thoughtless Sisters

The National Council of Women,
at recent convention in Philadel-
phia, adopted resolutions urging
that laws be enacted forbidding the
sale of cigarettes to women and
girls.
The practice Of smoking cigar
cites is assuming proportions which
make it a genuine reproach to our
sex. AS Mrs. Frances E. Burns
observes: "One sees beautiful
young women in hotel dining rooms
nonchalantly lighting cigarettes
and as nonchalantly exhaling. It
IS a most deplorable condition,
which detracts from womanly APP
peal and is in addition injurious to
health"
There is perhaps no doubt in the
mind of the average woman as to
the need Of suppressing the habit
in question. However, there is a
real question as to whether COM
pulsory legislation is the right way
to deal with it. Such laws seem
only to arouse the resentment of
many American men. Whether
women would look upon them the
same way and prove disobedient is
Tor time to reveal. Probably they
would not generally do so. Yet
certain irresponsible ones would
doubtless cause no end of trouble
by refusing to comply with such
regulations.

she personally is responsible for
the vice and sin into which her
petted child has fallen, or that by
her own weakness in the years
when his life was young, he was
brought into the way that leads to
destruction.
Probably there are very many
other mothers, and some fathers
also, who, if the truth were re-
vealed, are as guilty as the woman
whose words swerved the course
of justice in Detroit. Not all con-
fess it as freely; but many, like
her, in full realization of their
great fault, are still found in life's
declining years trying to protect
their erring children from the just
penalties of their transgressions
which seems to show that the fatal
weakness that has wrecked the
lives of the children which they
brought into the world has not
been overcome.

The Weeks Events
Briefly Told for Women
Readers
Following Example of Men

The real woman politician seems
to have arrived in the person of
Mrs. Albert E. Breuggeman, of St.
Louis, Missouri.
Her activities in this line began
twenty years ago when she assist
ed her father in a campaign for
the mayoralty of ST. Louis. Since
then she has continued a conspicu-
GUS figure in Missouri politics.
Two years ago she was made
national committee woman for
Missouri; and she served as del
egate to the convention at Chi
cago. Later she became an effec-
tive speaker under the direction of
the national republican committee.
The announcement has just been
made that she is to be member
of the federal employees compensa-
ton commission for the next six
years at a salary Of $4,000 p,1
year.
This is what the politicians call
a plum" Very many seek such
rewards without regard to the
means used in attaining them anc
certainly without any thought o.
rendering actual service to. thei1
fellows. 1t is really too bad that
"plums" should exist in our scheme
Of government. Yet as long as We
have them, it may not be amiss fol

Practical Way to Clean Paint

To clean paint that is not var.
aished, take a flannel and squeeze
nearly dry out Of warm water, and
dip in q little whitening. Apply
to the paint, and with a little rub
bing it will easily remove grease,
smoke or stains. Wash with warm
water and rub with q small cloth;
it will not injure the most delicate
color, but win make things look
like new. Paint will last much
longer, too, than when cleaned
with soap and water.

Special Training fer Rural Districts

Some rural communities in the
South have solved the question of
specialized training for their chill
dren in spite of insufficient funds
to engage special teachers in small
county schools. Every week a
period is set aside for sewing and
cooking and a mother is invited
each time to come and teach the
class. Similar arrangements are
made for boys in manual training.
More serviceable and comfortable
schoo and better kept home,
with greater variety Of foods,
well-cooked and daintily served,

constant rush from country to

Church Recognizes Equality


Women seem to have scored an
other important victory recently
in a decision of the Presbyterian
Church to ordain women as dea-
cons.
OF course, women have always
done the greater part of the work
OF the church. Yet according to
its rules, they could not act as
deacons or function otherwise in
the management of its affairs.
Last summer the proposition to Or
dain them as deacons was brought

Raw Potato for Mud Stains

When the raincoat gets muddy
or stained cut a raw potato in
slices and rub it we'll over the
soiled portions. This will also re-
move mud stains from skirts, trou-
sers and cbildren's coats.

Dry Leather Carefully

Wet shoes should be carefully
dried. Never put them in the
oven or on a radiator to dry
quickly. Stuff with newspaper and
stand in draught. When shoe
leather becomes stiff rub in little
vaseline.

An Adamless Eden

A four-acre park to which men
will not be admitted has been set
aside as a place Of rest and recrea-

The chances are that it will not
prove particularly attractive to the

Serve Onions on Monday

1e1ve 0nfoits Oh 0fonuay
1t is good plan to serve onions
on wash day. Peel and prepare
the onions before doing the wash
ing. The rubbing and rinsing in
the laundry will eradicate both
color and odor of the raw onions
from the hands.
Vegetables that can be cooked
with their own skins on contain
much more nourishment than
peeled vegetables.

It faces the most difficult problems
that have been confronted since the
Civil war. But some Of the keensst
intellects of the nation are At the pre-
sident's elbow. II human brains can
solve these questions they are going
to do it.
The first test Of superior ability
Is the power to size up human nature
and make . wise selection Of SUBJ
ordinates. The head Of . big busi-
ness does not do much else. He ap-
points brainy men to help him, and
then lets them 30 ahead and they
win success for him. A smaller man
would work three times - hard, and
then fail because he had the wrong
heads Of departments. Mr.. Harding
has proved that he knows how to
make big decisions.
