WISCONSIN
SETS new
EXAMPLE:

Wisconsin is the first state in the
Union to bestow upon women alb
solute legal equality with its men,
1t is true that the women of all
the states are allowed to vote by the
nineteenth amendment. However,
this privilege ends in many cases with
the ballot box; and there have been
no states until this month which act
ually gave to women all the legal
rights and privileges enjoyed by men.
In some, they were restricted as to
the holding and conveying of proper
ty, in others as to jury service, while
in still others they were not allowed
to hold office, to enter into contracts,
or to do certain other things which
men are permitted to do.
Wisconsin has removed every re-
striction of Whatsoever kind. AS some
members of the legislature have put
it, the women may even "wear trous-
ers and stand on the street corners
chewing tobacco if they wish to do
so in the future.

STRIKES
ROC X

The world movement for the restor-
alton 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 en-
terprise through
In the worldwide organization of
Jewish leaders, there is an STnner
ACTIONS Council consisting of seven
men, all European Jews, in whom is
vested the real control of the under
taking. This council recently CRITICS
ed the American financial committee
because it had failed to enlist the
support of wealthy American Jews.
The committee reported that Ameri-
can Jews were not willing to contri-
butte until America was represented in
the Inner Actions Council. This pre-
cipitated a quarrel in which it ap-
peared that the Jewish leaders Of
Europe are not disposed to allow to
those of America the representation
they are asking. It seems probable
that America will be cut off from all
further participation in the move
ment.

\ HOUSEKEEPING FOR ERIE

The women of Erie, Pennsylvania,
have found 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, gambling,
booze and graft have been rife. The
forces of vice and corruption have
been able to maintain this condition
by placing their candidates on both
tickets, after which nothing that the
voters would do would affect the re-
suits
The women of the city did rot ac-
cept this situation as peaceably as
the men had done They began by
inducing q man of high ideals and
motives to run for congress. Furth-
er than this, they elected him. Then
they started an investigation of social
conditions which resulted in the in
dictment of more than fifty keepers
of places Of ill-repute as well as an
Indictment Of the mayor of the city
for n2alfeasance in Office.
The struggle is on in earnest at
present, but the women are winning
and when they are through, it seems
certain that Erie viii be better
place in which to live and bring up
children than it has been in the past.

Why women
EARNLESS

Ever since the middle Of May
committee Of Congress has been in
vestigating 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 ad-
vanced as to why women should not
be employed in the government 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
government service.
There is a difference of opinion in
the committee as to whether men and
women should receive the same pay
for the same work. At present it ap-
pears 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 do not as
rule continue to serve as long, but
marry and quit the work within a few
years Marriage increases a mans
efficiency and stability but it takes
woman out of the work altogether.

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 well, 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 injunc-
ton that the child's natural instincts
should not be needlessly or thought
lessly transgressed. The great
achievement of this period is the
formation by the child of most of
those personal habits which are to
follow him through life.
The second period of childhood ex-
tends 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 conduct in his re-
lations toward others, has an actual
right to know the reasons for the
demands and requirements that are
ieAIo upOIi It'll ny Ills pdItHtS. IL Is
out of reasoning of this sort at this
particular time in his life that the
ideals and standards which are to
determine his later conduct and
character really come <.
The third period of the xchild's
developing life extends j. rightly
through his "teens." This is the time
for him to learn to choose it well
with just as little external influence
or pressure as possible. He is on
the treshold of a large life in which
every act is to be determined 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 require
ments and aims of the three periods
named above, it is safe to say that
there would be fewer children fail
ing to attain to the goal of useful
manhood

Don't Eat When Angry

Don't eat when you are angry
Anger forms an active poison in the
system. Drink a little orange juice
and water or a cup of hot tea until
you have recovered your normal out
look on life. 1t will be a happier
world when men and women under
stand all the evil effects of anger on
the human body.

Oranges Good for Invalids

The orange should be cut into small
