DOROTHY DIX TALKS-Woman's Right to Her job

work do so because they need tt money,
and need it badly. You can bet your last
dollar on that. There are no rich and in
dulgent husbands and fathers behind them
begging them to stay at home. In their
backgro Is are men who through Ill health,
or incompetence, or lack of energy, are I'M
able to provide for their families. l nave
known many thousands of working girls, and
not one of them has been a pampered pet
of fortune who d gone to work because
she was tired of having papa give her things,
and had a wild, uncomfortable 'yearning for
financial independence.
have heard a lot about that girl, and
read many stories in books and magazines
about her, but I have never met her in the
flesh. Have you? And if SO, how many of
her?
Another false assumption is that the work
ing woman has nobody to support but her.
self. The supposition is that the man in
variably has a family to support while the
woman has no one but herself. or course,
occasionally there is woman without fam
lily ties, just as there are men without family
ties, but these are rare cases.
Nine times out of ten, the working woman
has a husband children, little sisters
and brothers, or old parents clinging to her
skirts, and looking to her for their bread
and butter. I cannot recall any working
woman I have ever known who was not help
ing somebody else.
Women are far more loyal to family ties
than men are. It is the girls in a family
who turn over their pay envelopes to their
l-.others, and let their wages go for the up
keep of the home. Not the boys. If boy
pays a reasonable board to his mother, he
considers that he has done his duty, and
keeps the balance of his money for himself.
It is the girls who give all, and who sacrifice
themselves that their karents may have COM
forts, and that younger brothers and sisters
may be kept in school, longer than they were.
This being the case-and vt is fair and
just statement of the case-why should girls
be asked to give up the jobs they filling
competently to men? No man could need
the money more than they do. No man has
more dependents than they. Without work,
they must starve, and freeze and perish of
want, for they are Of flesh and blood, even
as man is. More than that, when you de-
prive woman of an honest way to make a
living, you force her into making one dishon-
orably.
| There are many more avenues of occupa-
ton open to man than to a woman. He
| is stronger of body, more versatile, better
trained, more fit in thousand ways to fight
adversely than she is, and so it is hard
thing to ask the frail, little sister to give
up her slice Of bread and butter to her big,
husky brother

COUNT YOUR TREASURES
By DR.. Frank Crane

One Of the craziest kinks in human ma
ture is that we appreciate only what we do
not have.
Even a million dollars only looms up
and fills our horizon while we are trying
to get it; as soon as it Is got, it shrinks.
The school-yard-full of lusty children,
screaming and romping with the overflow
of health, never think of health. The only
people who appreciate health are those sit
ting out in the sun on the porch of the
sanatorium eating oatmeal.
The struggling young actor imagines that
to be a famous star would be the greatest
thing in the world, and yet If he could go
and visit famous star he would probably
find him in his club industriously getting
drunk to relieve his ennui.
The people who wear purple and fine
linen and fare sumptuously every day, who
live in the large brick house out at the
edge of town where is a stone dog in the
yard, are not particularly happy. If they
are, it is by borrowed sort Of happiness
which is to say the happiness which other
people think they ought to have.
a. No good things in life are so good as
those that are just out of reach.
All you have to do to make people want
thing is to make them feel they cannot
get it.
When you fence off the most inconvenient
seats in the theater, call the place pr1-
vate box, and charge three times as mucE
for it as for the good seats down in front
everybody will want it. ..
To anybody who is at all clever this
ought to suggest the practical short cut to
happiness, which is to realize the value of
what you do have and not waste your time
over an excessive valuation Of what you
do not have
Most people who have arrived at the
land of contentment have gotten there by
r; 10 IN learned
to count their own treasures and have left
off considering those of other people.
There is no life so poor that it has not
infinite resources. And there is no life sc
rich and crowded that it has not room for
spelling envy
What we need is intelligent selfishness
And the best recipe for cheerful spirit Is
to develop ones own resources.
Stop, and realize how good air is by just
imagining how it would feel to be smoth-
cred; how good your plentiful water supply
is by imagining what one cup OF water
would be worth to you II you were dying
of thirst on a desert island; and how good
even life itself would seem to you II you
we're to be hanged tomorrow.
All this is not deceiving yourself, pam
boozling yourself, nor lifting yourself by
your boot-straps. 1t is plain horse sense.
We are, as Ernest Poole brings out in his
recent novel, "Beggars Alseep on Bags OF
Gold" If we would stop whining and look
in our souls pocket we would discover that
we are all mobiles and kings sons.

League and Conference

A PROPOS Of Mr.. H. G. Wells rather
a cavalier assumption that the success
of the Washington Conference dooms
the League of Nations to obsolescence, a
French publicist, writing in LIRE Nouvelles.
points to certain continuing endeavors and
achievements of the Leagu- which could not
be Abandoned without grave loss to the
world docs Mr.. Wells,' he asks, seriously
purpose to suspend the repatriation of war
prisoners, to give up the fight against typhoid
and against the white slave traffic, to leave
national minorities to their fate, to tear up
the Barcelona conventions with regard to
transport, etc.? For to dissolve the pact of
1919 woulI mean to give up all these bene-
VIOLENT activities so rich in promise. Is it
really a return to political and economic an
archy that is desired? If So, it would be bet
ter to say so frankly"
There is no conflict, assuredly between the
Washington Conference and the League of
Nations. Their ideals, if not Their policies,
are in number of major problems the same
Both face forward, and both are dedicated to
world peace and goodwill. But the Wash
ington Conference no more can supplant the
League than the Legislature of Georgia could
supplant the Congress of the United States
The one is limited to specified tasks, the other
is broadly inclusive; the one joins five ma
tions in certain common purposes, the other
joins more than fifty. 1t is conceivable that
the League may pass away, but no mere con-
ference can take it's place.

A N ex-service man writes me that he
~ thinks that all women who are fol-
n lowing what Is called "gainful occu-
pations'' should give up their work and
hand over their jobs to men. He says this is
the simplest way to solve the unemployment
problem for men. 4aE
It is certainly an altruistic scheme, but
why narrow it down to woman? Why not
ask every man who can possibly exist with
out the pay envelope to hand over his posi-
ton to some man who needs the work and
the money worse than he does. Why not ask
the bank president to resign in favor Of some
ragged hobo? Why not ask the doctor with
a big practice to turn over his patients to
the patientless young doctor who is just
starting out? Why not ask the merchant to
step down and out, and present his store to
his clerks?
d When there are not enough jobs to go
around the neediest may deserve them most,
but nobody is foolish enough to expect a man
to sacrifice himself for another man, and es-
pecially for another man Of whom he never
even heard. But my correspondent sees
nothing unreasonable in demanding that
women should immediate themselves upon the
altar of the public.
I Also, my correspondent assumes that wom-
en- work through sheer love of work, or be-
cause they are restless and not because they
need the money they earn. This is a COM
mon error. There are many people who as

trio millionairess who leaves her luxurious

Graves the excitement of the commercial
world; therefore they sigh, and shake their
heads, and wonder why girls don't stay in
their proper place in the parlor.
They ignore entirely three basic facts. One
is, that every woman instinctively loves lux
ury and ease as much as a cat does hot
brick. In real life you never see Miss Mil
lionbucks giving up her limousine, and her
breakfast in bed, and her teas, and her
luncheons, and her parties for the JOY of
fighting for strap in crowded street car,
and cooking her meals over a gas jet gand
washing her stockings in the bowl in her
room, in order to stretch minimum wage
over maximum needs.
The second fact is that no woman works
for fun. II there is any wild and hilarious
pleasure in standing eight hours a day be-
hind counter trying to wheedle disgruntled
and critical women into buying things, or in
pounding typewriter, and dealing with a
boss who doesn't wear his company manners
in his own office, the girls who do it, day
after day, have never found it out Their
tasks do not look like picnic to them. They
look like hard jobs that call for all the cour-
age, and strength, and fortitude that girl
can put into them.

The L;fe-Breath of PROSPERITY
~ PEAKING as trained observer and an

~
effectual grappler of problems touch
ing the veal of the rank and file, DIR.
Andrew M. Soule, president Of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, told the great assembly
of delegates at the Georgia markets confer
ence now in session at Athens that a decisive
ly important factor in the South's return to
prosperous paths will be psychology. Upon
what we think, as well as upon what we do,
depends, in large measure, the speed and
thOroughneSS of the business recovery so de-
voutly to be wished. II
This is not a novel view and certainly not
fanciful. The time-worn definition Of a f1nan-
cial panic as estate Of mind" is borne out
by the records of nearly all such catastrophes.
If men run because they are frightened,
equally true it is that they are frightened
because they run. Outer events may alarm
them, but for the most part it is inner con-
ditions and processes that send them pell-
NELL to flight and disaster. Herein lies the
potency of business faith, as of all faith. 1t
steadies the mind and makes clear vision pos
sible; it affords basis for co-working pc
tween man and man. group and group, be-
tween creditor and debtor, between those
who lead and those who loyalty follow; it is
in truth the only rock upon which business
will stand when winds blow and storms beat.
If ever a people had good reason for faith
in their future, we of Georgia and of the
South have in this well-omened day. The
natural bases of our prosperity stand unim-
paired, undisturbed our soil is as fertile,
our sun as quickening, our potential yields
as manifold as in days ere the shadow of
War-born depression crept over the world.
In the nature of things these treasures in
which our commonwealth is SO exceedingly
rich will command their purchasers and bring
their rewards, of not forthwith, assuredly in
no very distant future. Much depends, it is
true, upon the vigor and wisdom with which
we act to meet the emergencies of the time.
! Unless crops are rightly diversified, unless
markets for foodstuffs are duly provided, I'M
| less the best of business sense and of agri-
cultural knowledge is brought to bear, there
will be harder days than we yet have ex-
perienced-and we shall deserve them. But
| in working upon these safeguarding and con-
| structive lines let us remember the vastness
| o. the resources behind us, and the vaster
| wealth of those within let us work with the
| wholeheartedness that springs from reasoned
faith, and SO bring to prevail that state of
mind in which prosperity find it's life-breath.

Return Property

The street property of the German gov

the war to build a new embassy was formal
ly released by Alien Property Custodian
Thomas w. Miller last week and turned over
to the German Charge d'Affaires, Karl Lang.
He was handed the deed restoring the prop
erty, which bears the name of the Widows
Mite. At the German embassy today no def
mite statement was forthcoming as to the
future use of the property although the opin-
ion was expressed that eventually it might
be used for new building as originally
planned.

Liquor Figures

Whisky is a necessary therapeutic agent
in the practice of medicine, according to 81
per cent of the Bills doctors who answered
the QUESTIONABLE issued by the Journal OF
the American Medical association. Forty-nine
per cent disagreed.
On the question Of the medical value OF
beer and wine there was not such close
division. Seventy-four per cent of the physi-
clans said beer was not necessary and 68
per cent said wine had no value in their
practice.
Tabulated by states the vote shows twen-
ty states favoring the use of whisky and
Twenty-Five states opposed to it, while every
state returned negative vote on the beer
and wine questions. The North Atlantic and
South Atlantic States favored whisky, while
the North Central and South Central and
Western states gave majority against it.
Twenty-Five per cent Of those replying, or
6,432 doctors, said they knew of instances in
which unnecessary suffering or death had
resulted from the enforcement of prohibi-
tion," while 1882, or 70 per cent, said no
such instances had occurred in their prac-
tice.
In New York City only IT per cent of the
doctors favored more than 100 prescription
blanks every three months. In Philadelphia
an increase was favored by IA per cent,
while Chicago and Detroit showed 3.6 per
cent voting for more blanks
