CRADLE VERSUS DESK.

Most Of the girls of today are brought up
to earn their own livings An increasing num-
Der OF women are trying to find out how they
can keep their places at the desk without slight
ing the cradle. And they do not mean to give
up until they are sure that IL cannot be done.
Rocking the cradle is barred by the leading
baby doctors. The kindergarten is insisted
upon by educators. Good schools are taking
more and more of the time of the children 1t
is no longer necessary for woman who is
married to sew like sweatshop worker in
order to keep her offspring covered. Laundry
work can be sent out and prepared food can be
brought in.
Changes in the manner of living have made
it more nearly possible for woman to hold
regular job and do good deal for her family,
but the problem has not yet been solved. Wo-
men of unusual organizing capacity and strong
physical endowment are managing to divide
their time between office and children, with
out either being asked to resign or sending the
children to the juvenile court. Some women
have found out how. Many more are trying to
find out.

BETTER LUNCHES.

Wherever hot lunches are served to school
children, it is noted that the children do better
work than they did on cold lunches. In most
city schools of the United States the hot lunch
has been in use so long that it Is as permanent
an institution as the textbook or the black
board. In many rural schools the hot lunch
has become an important factor within tho
last few years, and the rural children are show
ing remarkable improvement in scholarship

full attention to the variety and quality of the
food in the lunch box may make up for the
handicap sf a cold meal. United States gov
eminent nutrition specialists have been giving
special attention to this subject of the school
child's lunch. Manly of the older folks grew
up without any scientific attention having been
bestowed upon their cold school lunch of bread
and jelly, hunk Of apple pie and maybe bit
Of cold salt pork. But many Of the older folH

to get we'll by repeating doggerel about getting
better and better. Now that we have just be-
gun to learn few rudimentary facts about the
human body and its mechanism, we certainly
should desire that our children shall suffer
less from hit-ormiss feeding than we may have
suffered. The school lunch is an important
factor in the chilfs daily life Let's improve it.

ANOTHER SIDE OF THE DIVORCE
nrrEcFrNN

Next to Japan we are the worst nation in
the world SO far as the sacredness with which
we regard the martial tie is concerned" This
Is the charge which Bishop W. T. Summer, Of
Oregon, made in the course Of an interview in
Chicago. Substantially the same thing has
been said many times by those who are inter-
+ested in reforming the laws Of marriage and
divorce, but are the American people called
upon to ahase themselves 80 humbly?
1t is quite true that American divorce laws
are lax in some states and broad in the most
Of them, but the fact that SO many Americans
70 to the divorce courts when the marriage
tie becomes irksome indicates that they feel
the tie as something binding upon themselves
until the courts dissolve it.
There are countries in which the men do
VERY much as they please and the wives rather
expect that sort of thing of their husbands.
Among people who take that attitude the sac
redness of the marriage tie is merely formal,
and any study of comparative morals which
leaves such facts out Of view wrongs the
United States. Divorces easily and lightly OBJ
tanned are an evil but it is rot true that they
are worse than marriage maintained merely
for the sake of empty appearances. and when
judged from this standpoint one can make a
good case for the proposition that the United
States is better rather than worse than the
average nation in its attitude toward mar
riage.

EXIT JAZZ.

Long skirts are not as decorative as short
skirts. and to but few young women are they
as becoming. But they have arrived. And the
conclusion which lovers Of the beautiful may
take from the situation is to be found in the
circumstances that jazz noise is going out with
the short skirt. jazz was used to wiggle by.
Music is used to dance by. Long skirts do not
lend themselves to wiggle parties. Therefore
jazz and the wiggle-hug may pass away to-
gether. We can stand the long skirts, for
clever women can make themselves look we'll
in almost any kind Of clothes, but we couldn't
stand the long skirt and jazz at the same time.

WHEN A HAT COSTS FORTY
DOLLARS.

How much do you usually pay for your hats?
A travelling salesman says his hats cost him
about $40 apiece. He pays 81 for new hat
Twice day he has to check it when he eats
in a hotel or restaurant. The tips he pays
to the hat checkers average 10 cents each. The
life of the hat is about six months, and when
he is through with it, the hat represents 81 orig
inal cost and $3s tips.
The tipping system is becoming less pop
ular every day. There is a gradual increase
in the number of persons who are standing
four-square with the travellers and others who
are conducting an organized campaign against
the tipping system.

Japanese ladies who for the last
three years acted as agents for
American yarns. The profits go to

DOES THE COOK PEPPER
THE room.

With cooks SO scarce and 30
hard TO please IL does seem too
bad to pick>on them even in the
interest Of public welfare,-but un-
fortunately great many harmless
people have suffered unmerited
punishment at the hands OF mighty
good cooks-perfectly good cooks
who happened to be innocent car
riers of typhoid fever, for exam

family to preseno satisfactory evil

Ing and SO on to prospective
cook and promise her the exclusive
use Of the car Thursdays and Sun
days. 1t is well to consider wheth-
er she will pepper the food.
Cooking, = perhaps more than any
other domestic occupation, affords
the opportunity for infection, the
chance for disease to pass from
the cook to those who partake OF
the cooks dishes. Experience and
special investigation have proved
that there is practically no risk at
all Of contracting any disease OF
a communicable or infectious kind
by working in a laundry and hand

in from all sorts of places and peo-

worker to no particular danger
Nor is there any particular risk
that the occupants of the house
may contract any disease from
such houseworkers. But cooking is
another story.
Everybody who is reasonably in
telligent knows nowadays that we
give off fine invisible spray from
the mouth when talking; that this
spray consists of innumerable
droplets of moisture which may
