Church RECOG.
NlzES EQUALITY

Women seem to have scored anoth-
er important victory recently in a
decision of the Presbyterian Church
to ordain women as deacons.
Of course, women have always done
the greater part of the work Of the
church. Yet, according to it's rules,
they could not act as deacons nor
function otherwise in the management
of its affairs. Last summer the pro-
position to ordain them as deacons
was brought before the general as
sembly of the church, but voted down
by the "anti-feminists" However,
the advocates of the innovation APP
pealed the matter back to the individ-
ual presbyteries. Here it has met a
different fate; and women are in the
future to be the social equals of men,
at least as to eligibility to the minor
church offices.

Another AFTER

We have been reading Of late of
women falling into various evil hab-

mania for gambling is on among
the women of London.
For the most part, they bet en- the
horse races. In certain sections of
the city the "bookmaker," as the man
is called with whom the bets are
placed, calls at the homes as regular

most of whom are indulging in the
vicious practice without the know
ledge of their husbands.

WOMAN SUGGESTS
THE NEXT STEP

Mrs, Charles S. Bird, one of the
four women on the American advisory
board at the peace conference, has
presented to that body a definite plan
by which the manufacture of arma-
ment and amunitions would be brot
under government control instead of
being allowed to continue in private
hands as at present.
The suggestion is that the making
Of war material should be forbidden to
private individuals in every nation of

troll which would result should be made

A HUSBAND
FOR FOUR CENTS

The psychology of the German peo-
pie seems to surpass our understand
ing. 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 Berlin, of which there are
several, are actually flooded with or
ders for spouses.
For ten marks, which would now
be worth about four cents in our mon
ey, it appears that nearly any man or
woman can readily secure life part
ner. The Berlin newspapers are lit
orally filled with descriptions of mar
riageable persons looking for mates.
Advertisers are required by law to
state the truth about themselves. A
woman who recently overstated it
was sued for fraud by her new hus-
band; and as result she presently
found herself single again.
The puzzle is to know why these
people are turning to marriage with
such alacrity just when national bank
ruptcy, with its long train of hard
ships and miseries, is staring them in
the face.

OUR THOUGHT
LESS SISTERS

The National Council Of Women at
a recent convention in Philadelphia,
adopted resolutions urging that laws
be enacted forbidding the sale of Gig
arettes to women and girls.
The practice of smoking cigarettes
is assuming proportions which make
it genuine reproach to our sex. AS
Mrs. Frances E. Burns observes: Zone
sees beautiful young women in hotel
dining rooms nonchalantly lighting
cigarettes and as nonchalantly exhal-
ing. 1t is deplorable condition, that
detracts from womanly appeal and is
in addition injurious to health"
There is perhaps no doubt in the
mind Of the average woman as to the
need of suppresslng the habit in ques-
ton. However, there is a real ques-
ton as to whether compulsory legis.
lation is the right way to deal with
it. Such laws seem only to arouse
the resentment of many American
men. Whether women would look up
on them the same way and prove dis
obedient is for time to reveal Prob
ably they would not generally do SO.
Yet certain irresponsible ones would
doubtless cause no end of trouble by
refusing to comply with such regula-
tions.

without any thought of rendering any

PROBLEMS Of

THE FAMNY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers
and Sisters
Mother Harvests Whirlwind


That mother may sin against her
children as well as against her hus-
band, was demonstrated recently when
Mrs. c. H. Stating, of Flint, Michigan,
interceded with Detroit judge who
was about to sentence her son for pet
ty larceny

he had grown up" she said in court.
Il, not he, am to blame. | should pay
the penalty. Let him go home with
me and | will keep him there, try to
cure him and report regularly in his
stead. If fail to do so, you can give
me the sentence you were about to
impose on him."
We wonder if any thought can be
more bitter to a mother in the closing
years of her life than that she person
ally 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 de-
struction.
Probably there are very many 9TH
er mothers, and some fathers also,
who, if the truth were revealed, are
as guilty as the woman whose words
swerved the course of justice in De-
troit. Not all confess it as freely;
but many, like her, in full realization
of their great fault, are still trying
to protect their erring children from
the just penalties of their transgres-
sions,-which seems to show the fatal
weakness that has wrecked the lives
of the children which they brought in
to the world has not been overcome.

Practical Way to Clean Paint

To clean paint that is not vanished
take a flannel and squeeze nearly out
CT warm water, and dip in a little

like new. Paint will last much long
