NOW LOOKS LIKE NEW CABINET JOB
 WILL BE CREATED
Harding In Favor of Depart ment of Welfare With His Personal Physician as Its
 New Head
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 800 Davidson BuIldinK

Washington, May g. ( Special)-A department of welfare to be presided over by a new cabinet officer, will It is indicated he created by Congress.
 President. Harding has indorsed the general idea. The overwhelming ma jorities of Congress are republican and anxious to follow the leadership of the President. In addition. there are a number of democrats of the ''uplift' variety who are ever mindful of the fact that women are voters of the United States.
 Two bills have been introduced pro- yiding for the creation of d depart ment of welfare one in the Senate by Senator Kenyon, and the other in the House by Representative Fess of Ohio.
 HARDING WANTS SAWYER
 In connection with the foregoing probability, an interesting situation has arisen. The additional cabinet of ficer to have supervision over mat ters involving education, health, child birth, child rearing, physical reclama- tion, rejuvenation and the like, first made appearance in the brain of the militant sufragette who put over the nineteenth amendment.
 As result the militant sufragette de- mands that President Harding appoint new department. As matter of fact new $ a matter or IaCt, they threaten revolution within the republican ranks unless the President follows their direction. They contend that while the President did not make them a direct promise, he said some- thing which led them to believe that he would be "amenable to reason"
 Now. it happens that the President, if reports be true, would give that very worthy plum to his personal friend, Brigadier- General Sawyer, serving at present as the chief execu- tives personal physician. 2~
 THE VAST EXPANSE
 There is difference of opinion, of course, as to whether or not there is an actual need for new department do have charge of matters with which 2 certain political school contends the government has nothing to do--this school being of the opinion that the entire idea is socialistic and pater- nalistic.
 There is no difference of opinion, however, regarding the odigious ex- penses with which the operation of the department would burden the tax payers.

 Dick ordered hors q oeuyres. sole, and pheasant Neapolitan ices, too, and Turk ish coffee.
 He leaned across the little table talk ing eagerly to Mary. And Mary-fls- uratively was perched upon parnassus. On arriving home that nght-after a protracted farewell with her lover-she found a telegram awaiting her
 Telegrams were rather rare occurrences in MsFy's simple life.
 She opened the envelope and, read it's contents
 It was a message from her employer Darlington Bellairs, telling Mary that this evening he had gJne down to his country home and wouldn't be in town tomorrow. f,f
 So would she kindly catch an early train in the morning for Westgate for he'd need her services. Mary was not taken by surprise She lad worked at his country place before She knew that her employer was intend ing to take this semi-holday.
 Besides-Dick would be at the Barley Mow. only a couple of miles away Dur see Dick often!
 How surprised he would be tomorrow when sine telephoned the Barley Mow Or maybe she would drop in unexpect- edy, That would be amusing.
 She went to sleep that night and dreamed delightful dreams.
 The library of the Bellairs' country place was large panelled room, severe in furnishing, but comfortable.
 And at half-past eleven the following morning Miss Mary Drew sat at table by the fire and took down dictation from her employer.
 She had caught very early train, prepared for work.
 It was cosy in this room. Scent of pine needles heaped up on the hearth filled the apartment with a faint fra
 
 tered in the fire And two magnificent greyhounds, drugged with warmth, were dozing close to Marys feet.
 Money meant comfort reflected Mary; power, too. This luxury would be all her own would she but marry Caring ton Bellairs.
 But then of course she wasn't going to marry him.
 The thought struck her that he'd commanded her presence here to in- fluence her in her decision
 His aunt, too had been unusually gracious. That naughty lady had ac- tually unbent sufficiently to express the hope that Mary would be com fortable, and that her nephew wouldn't make her work too hard.

 The proposed annual appropriations for the maternity bureau, the chil- oren's bureau, and cooperative edu- cation scheme, all to be administered by the department of welfare. total $104, ,720, 26O.
 Likewise the dictator of education" or maternity and infancy" in other words, the new secretary would have 10 times as much money to spend ev- cry year as both political parties spent in the campaign last fall and would control more offices and patronage than the President of the United States within the executive and judicial de- partments. The secretary would have an agent in every schoor room, an in- yestigator of motherhood in every community, and would be able to real lze the object of the militant suf- fragettes-"to obtain political control of the United States government"
 VALUE OF THREAT
 To those who hold that the creation of the new department would be dan serous, there is hope in the fact that the republican party has demonstrated that 1t is not necessary in order to win, to surrender to the militants.
 At the Chicago convention. as is re- called women voters demanded of the republican party an even division of offices and positions on the national committee. This demand was ignored. Likewise, the republican party at Chi cago refused to indorse the maternity bill.
 Two weeks later the democratic nartV a San INran ha same women who received their rebuff at Chicago, did divide the positions on the executive committee equally with the women, and did indorse the ma ternity bill.
 But the republican party won an overwhelming victory 8 the polls, and the democratic party received no ma terial assistance from the women to whom it had surrendered Inasmuch as the above is fact, and the trepubli- cans are committed to an economical administra ton, there is hope on the part opponents of the welfare scrceme, that it will not be realized.
 THE WOMEN CANDIDATES
 At the same time the women are pre- pairing to fight for the position, and are already criticising President Hard ing for an alleged intention to appoint his personal physician as first secre- tary of welfare
 Candidates for the honor of being the first Mrs. Secretary are bobbng up everywhere, pressing their claims against the White House, and rndea- voring to obtain the ear of Mrs Hard ing. Mrs. Harriet Upton, who directed the woman's campaign last fall, is said to have expressed lack of desire for teh berth. But she Is the exception
 Mrs. Christine Bradley South of Ken lucky, Mrs Medill Mccormick, wife of the Senator, Mrs. George T. Guernsey of Kansas, Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago, Mrs. Clifford Pinchot and Miss Julia Lathrop are regarded as active and aggressive candidates.

Under the somewhat inclusive title
of "The Influence Of Puritanism on
the Political and Religious Thought OF
the English" John Stephen Flynn dis
cusses the progress of Puritanisn
from the days Of Bunyan and Baxter
to the days of Haig and Beatty. The
papers included in this volume, of a
confessed impressional chara cter,
range from a discussion of the infiu-
ence of Puritanism on home life to a
discussion OF Puritanism as a factor in
the world war.
Since the author has chosen to re-
gard any manifestation of righteous
ness or any desire for freedom wher-
ever encountered as evidence of the
influence or presence of Puritanism; !;
since he has elected to call so widely
differing individuals as Whitfield and
Wesley. Bunyan and Baxter. Marvel
and the Earl of Shaftesbury, Puri-

The volume possesses a certain in

Hart The Macmillan Company.
When a man with vision supple
ments It by concrete experience he
and the world he lives in are equally
fortunate This book by Prof. Hart is
the result of ten years teaching in the
West and Of six months service with
the War Camp Community Service.
The Professor was able to profit by
what he saw because It vitally inter-
ested him.
His attention has been drawn to one
defect of American life, an extreme
individualism. lie says: THAT which
was good old American doctrine in the
pioneer days on the farm turns out to
be no longer good doctrine in the city.
Health authorities. police authorities,
moral squads and many other sorts
of impertinent interferers insist on
calling around to help the independent
pioneer adjust his old habits to the
new conditions of civil life" He is
sorry that the old order changes, Civ
ing place to new. He hopes that the
wants to find the happy medium be-
tween complete individual thoughtless-
ness and isolation and complete regu-
lation.
His observations have reinforced his
faith in human nature. lie Is glad
that the worker is no longer satisfied
with more wages. but desires a share
in the control OF industry. He thinks
that this shows that higher motives
are al work. His summary OF human
motives explains this position. He
says: "Hobson. the English economist,
tells us that there are three effective
initiatives underlying human labor.
First, the creative impulse; second,
the impulse of service; third, the de-
sire OF gain. From the standpoint Of
individual and social welfare the first
of these is the more important. But
our conventional opinion is that the
desire of gain Is the only manly
motive. The first is regarded as too
practical for this rough world, and the
second seems effemlnate. The result
is that men must express themselves

Field work is OF growing Importance.
Economists and sociolosists are rely

long been a need of a handbook stat

says: "A scientific technique has been
