1t doesn't make much difference whether you

dreamer, when you come to consider the business
side of grand opera in Chicago, or for that mat
ter, the business side Of music and the arts IN
any city. Whichever view you take of it, the
interest of business in art is significant.
Here have a plen fathered by the Chicago
Association of Commerce to raise five-year guar
antee fund, subscribed by 500 citizens who are
to give 81 900 a year each to back the production
of grand opera in Chicago. And why?
Because business has discovered that 1t Is
good business for Chicago. OF course you who

You will say that grand opera. costly as it is,
helps to make Chicago great. 1t is quite possible
this is your only reaction from the circumstance,
1t may be that you don't care boot about grand
opera in itself, and therefore know that some OF
these 500 citizens are doing it purely for bust

for material returns.
Even if they are, down underneath their ma

TRIALS IN NAME ONLY.

The embarrassing of German war criminals at
Leipsig, under the camouflage of trials of JUS
tice has gone far enough to convince those who
accepted in good faith the offer of the German
government to try those accused of violations
that it was merely another Hun trick. Every
principle for which the allies fought in the war
demands that they withdraw from the farsical
proceedings.
Two petty officers convicted and sem
fenced to a few months in Jail. Then Lieutenant
Karl Neumann placed on trial Neumann
sunk the British hospital ship. Dover Castle, taxi
ing the lives of many disabled persons, The jury
acquitted Neumann the grounds that he was
only acting under orders of his superors and
should not be held personally responsible for the
crime of sinking a hospital ship int ime of war.
If the principle under which Neumann was
acquitted is to be the guide for future trials Of
persons accused by the allies, there is no reason
why the farce should be continued. If the men
higher up can not be held responsible for the
orders they gave to sink and to burn, it is the
height of folly to seek justice through the con-
viction of petty officers private soldiers in the
German ranks.

A WORKING SCHEDULE
FOR THE FARM WOMAN!

From time to time farm house,
keepers write to me asking me 20
plan a working schedule for them
so If you who are reading this
column at this moment do not need
the following advice yourself. l
suggest that you send it to some
friend who lives on a farm.
Today l received letter from a
farm woman who signed herself
Brown Eyes" She said, I'VE are
three in family and have just
moved to the country, on a farm.
am trying to arrange an efficient
working schedule. Should the wife
help do the milking when she has
her own homework to do? The
daughter drives six miles to high
school daily. We have eight cows"
Before suggesting a working
schedule for this housewife, l wish
to say that If her husband had 20
cows instead of eight, 1t would still
not be her duty to do more than
her homework. Getting three meals
day, keeping the house clean, do
ing her own washing and ironing
to say nothing of sewing for her
self and daughter spring and fall
is enough for any woman to do,
without even considering doing
farm work outside Of the house.
And even at that. her daughter
should help with the homework
outside of school hours. Here are
the schedules for the mother and
daughter in this family:
Farm Housewife: Monday, get
breakfast, put up daughters school
lunch, wash dishes, do family wash
with a washing machine), get
lunch. wash dishes, go upstairs and
make her bed, lie down on the bed
and take a rest, then, later, get
dinner, wash dinner dishes. o..

lunch. wash dishes, do ironing

electricity, get lunch, wash dishes,

bread.

TURK STILL INCURRED.

Hope that an effective curb had been placed
upon the Turk is dispeed by reports of new
massacres by the Ottomans in Armenia and other
parts Of the Near East Greeks have been slain,
but the Armenians usual, are the chief vic
tins. 1t appears though old jealousies and
fears are to be permitted to give the Turk I'M
restrained license to kill and burn in the Far
East as he has for centuries.
The sinister aspect of the situation in Armenia
is that the Russian bolshevists are giving en-
enlargement to the Turks who thus prompted
to maintain an attitude Of defiance to the allied
nations. The Turkish nationalist are the out
laws OF western Asia. That they are permitted
to continue their depredations unrestrained is not
an encouraging omen for the future peace OF
Europe.
