A Subscriber Has Some Ideas
On Rights and Wrongs
OF Woman.
To the Editor. rhe ws.hinrton Her,Id:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
A discussion of the rights and
privileges of married women before
one of our local clubs some time
ago brought out some points which
are submitted for the consideration
OF your readers. They ran about
as follows:
The woman who thinks anything
Of herself and who expects anyone
else to think well of her will re-
frain from doing number OF
things SO revolving to our better
natures. She would not think of
opening or of going through the
mail of others. She would shrink
from searching their pockets. She
would not dare listen-in on their
telephone conversations. She would
not insist upon sticking around for
fear the phone would be used in
her absence. She would not neg
lect to notify absent ones OF calls.
nor would she report calls that
never came in. She would not at
tempt to humiliste others in the
presence of their friends. especially
when these others happen TO be
those who provide for the comfort
of herself and OF her children. She
would not teach her children that
this same provider is anything but
the best man on earth. Her glory
comes in maintaining the dignity
Of whatever station she and hers
can attain and none of tho activi-
ties mentioned above contribute to-
ward that end.
There is hope that some club will
discuss the rights and privileges of
married men and report the main
points under discussion.

Think Much of Labor
ORGANIZATIONS.
.ditor. The Mashington Herald: /:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
was very much interested In an
article entitled Remedy for Strikes"
appearing in The Herald Of August
II. / quote the following: ,"As
soon as the men are called out on
strike, let the salaries Of all the
leaders cease until the men were
ordered back to work. Let these
same leaders pay their own travel
expenses, also the subsistence at
the expensive hotels where they
stop" Now. the writer will bet to
his last dollar on the complete ef-
ficacy of the proposed remedy; he
will warrant IL never to fail.
was also interested in the pic
ture which appeared recently Of
Samuel Gompers viewing the strike
from a rolling chair at Atlantic
City. 'Nuff said.
These same labor leaders pretend
to "deplore violence" but at the
same time they tacitly approve vio-
lence and are wishing for more
violence. They know full well that
their Socialist emissaries are all
over the United States urging the
men to violence; to bombing. mur-
der and arson.
In the meantime what IL to be-
come OF the farmers? The young
men will leave the farms where
they had to work hard and get lit
tie. and come to the cities. where
they can work little and live high.
The workers can AFFORD to pay the
high prices for coal from their
good wages. but the average farm
er does not make enough to live
without the strictest economy and
sacrifice. Many little children on
the farms are put to bed to keep
warm and often shiver through the
night from scanty covering.

Relapse From Christianity
May Be One Cause of
World Troubles.
o the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
While the whole world-or a
selfish part of it's crying for
peace there seems to be more con-
fusion in the land than since the
creation of man. And why? The
answer is easy. Because We have
wandered too far from the path and
teachings Of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For He says: 'In Me ye shall
have peace, but in the world ye
shall have trouble" Is not the
world in trouble today? Yes, and
she's in trouble up TO her neck
why all these strikes and other
uncalled-for disturbances IN the
world today? Why, because the
Christian world has slipped a cog
and has gotten clear out of gear
with Him who hath said, In Me
ye shall have peace" etc. etc.
1t seems that the whole world is
out for "a good time" with the So
called ministers Of the Gospel lead

Attell Great Little Fighter.

OPEAKING Of Attell, his noto-
- riety in other fields has caused
~ many persons to forget the
fact that he was a really great lit
tie fighter when he was in his
prime, perhaps one Of the greatest
we have ever had. Dividing the
ringmen into three classes (the
fighter, the boxer, and the fighter
boxer) it seems to us that Attell
was one of the two greatest Of the
last class-fighter- -boxer-produced
in many years. Joe Cans was the
other.
Attell never weighed more than
122 pounds, yet he fought feather
weights, lightweights and. even
welters. We doubt if there is a
featherweight in the ring today,
even at the ridiculous poundage
now placed on that division, who
would fight Benny Leonard, Lew
Tender or Jack Britton.
Yet in his day the slim Attell
fought Battling Nelson, Owen
Moran, Freddie Welsh, Ad Wolgast
and others who corresponded in
size to Leonard, Tender and Brit
ton as compared to the feathers Of
the present. A great boxer, a good
hitter and a master Of ring science,
Attell must be rated high In fistic
history.
