REVIVE RECOLLECTIONS
OF BETTY WASHINGTON

No member of the family OF our
first President has been more sum-
marily dismissed by historians ana
biographers than his Younger SIS
ter. Betty. But with the announce
ment that "Kenmore," her former
home in Fredericksburg, Va, is to
be purchased by the Daughters OF
the American Revolution OF that
State as one more shrine OF WASH
ington preserved to the nation, her
story should receive the attention 1t
deserves
Elizabeth, or Betty" was born
in June, 1888, and on st. Valen;;
tines Day, 1851, became the second
wife of Colonel Fielding Lewis, a
dignifed. handsome and wealthy
patriot. Too old to fight, he SUI
perintended a factory Tor shot and
Shell. and impoverished himself by
loans to the Colonial government.
He built the lovely old mansion Of
"Kenmore" so that his wife could
be near her mother and it was
here that her adored brother, during
the trying times of the Revolution,
came to find rest and renewed
strength in the loving ministrations
of SISTER Bette" If for no other
reason than this, Kenmore" and
its mistress have = claim on ali
American hearts.
Full of fun and vivacity, she was

WOMEN AND PROHIBITION

Miss Georgia Hopley, of Ohio,
tells the world why this country
is not one hundred per cent dry.
She says the trouble must be
looked for N the apathy" OF the
fair sex. Miss Hopley is de
scribed as the only lady prohibi
ton agent, and she should there
fore be in position to speak adj
visedly. But we wonder. Senti-
ment among the woman may have
something to do with the contin-
uation, on a large scale, OF the
bootleg business, but does it tell
the whole story to say they are
apathetie:
There is difference OF opinion
as to the value OF the Literary Dl-
geSt poll, as a barometer in deter
mining the real views of the coun-
try. but for whatever 1t may be
worth it may be said that the Wo-
men have voted much as the men,
and maj ority OF both, as strange
as it may seem, have cast ballots
in favor OF at least a modification
of the Volstead law. This sur
priSed a great many people, as 1t
did us: but that is the way that
they have voted.
When the men employed at the
Edison plant in New Jersey for
the most part voted vet, or moist
someone remarked to the represent
tatives OF the Digest, that they
should now get a line on what the
wives OF these men thought about
it. Here, we thought, the gentle
man had rung the bell, but since
that time many thousands OF wo-
men have been requested to re
cord their sentiments and, as be-
fore stated, they have voted much
as the men.
1t is a strange world, and per
haps etting-stranger all the while.
And speaking Of the eternal fem-
nine!

AN HONEST SETTLEMENT
DIFFICULT

Noteworthy confidence is appar-
emily felt in Administration cir
cles that the present week Will wit
ness the end of the strikes. We
share this hope to more or less
extent, but there is always the pos
sibility that the wish may be faith
er to the though.
We are hopeful simply because
we are making some effort to feel
that way about it, but there is not
much to 60 on if one looks at the
thing squarely. The best reason
for believing that the strikes now
in progress will some how be set
tied, the Lord being willing, is be-
cause strikes have generally been
settled somehow in the past,
We do not believe there is any
way to settle the railroad strike
now in progress-that is, not hon
eStly. If the clash OF views and
interests around the seniority IS
sue could have been harmonlzed
and composed on a rational, hon
est. and mutually agreeable basis
the thing would have been done
some time ago.
But the thing could not be done,
and it has not been done. Broth
erhood representatives and the
executives are now i'll session 1t
may be announced that they have
agreed and that the strike has been
called off. For several days a
number OF the gentlemen have
been searching for words, the
proper verbiage in which to clothe
their agreement. The words ii
found may be designed to conceal
thought. If a settlement is pro-
claimed, and it is stated that the
seniority rights OF the strikers are
to be uuimpaired, but that the new
men, and those who did not walk
out, are Likewise to have their III
tercStS protected, il will not mean
anything in particular. Under such
agreement somebody Is certain to
get hurt, and the chances are that
it will be the men the executives
have sworn to protect.
There would be plenty OF work
for a time following the strike, be
cause the rolling stock will need 4
great deal of attention, but in {
few weeks the roads will begin TO
lay men off. When that time
comes the men now at Wo.> will
have to 60. To do otherwise
would lead to another strike, ii
the present National organization
OF the Federated Shop Crafts is
to continue to do business, Ii the
Shopmen, on the other hand, agree
TO take their seniority troubles 10
the Unied States Labor Board,
then they will be arbitrating, to all
intents and purposes, their right
TO strike. From their point OF
view they will be throwing their
case away. Ii YOU read that the
seniority question has gone to the
Board then, as we see it, the case
for the strikers has gone by the
board. They will nave lost on
what we may term every key con-
tention.
On sober second thought we be-
lieve there is one basis OF hope.
The campaign is coming on apace.

SAFEGUARDING MILK SUPPLY
Form of Ordinance Drawn to Guide
Communities in Framing Prac-
ticable Law.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In properly safeguarding the milk
supply of a community, the enactment
OF suitable and enforceable law Is
usually the first step, according to a
reprint of department bulletin 5S5, "a
Guide for Formulating a Milk Ordi-
nance" just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Milk, in it's composition and natural
qualities, is most useful and accept
able food, but may acquire one form
or another of inSanitary faint on its
way from the COW to the consumer;
and it is not always possible to re-
quire either producers or distributors
to observe all the precautions which
science has shown to be necessary,
unless there is law to back them up.
The public and officials of a city
realizing this need may sometimes, in
their zeal to make the new regulations
strict enough, go too far and insert
provisions that cannot readily be ell
forced or administered. Even health
department officials may not be ia
miliar with all phases of this subject,
unless they have already been engaged
In the enforcement of milk regula
tions; and in any case, whether the
city is just starting milk regulation or
is revising it's ordinances to bring
them up to date, 1t is desirable to take
advantage of the experience of other
communities.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has drawn up form Of
ordinance to guide communities in
framing a finished and practicable
law. Copies of the bulletin may be
had free upon application to the de-
partment at Washington, D. C.
