LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Men should do the cooking, scrubbing and washing among other jobs, and women should do nursing. doctoring, preaching, and other work connected with the church.
 This, according to Dr. Sloan Ches- ser, famous London woman doctor, is the ideal distribution of work.
 At a meeting of the Women's Freedom League in London the fair doctor conjured up picturesque vision of men toiling among the cook ing utensils and scrubbing brushes while women concentrated on infant welfare.
 For thousands of years, she said, women had done the hard work of the world. The old argument that women were too weak to do certain kinds of work had never been ap- piled to such tasks as carrying buck cts about the house and scrubbing the floors.
 She advanced three reasons for reversing things and making men cook and char. Because men are physically stronger than women. Be- cause cooking is of tremendous i'm

MOVI 1 E

Based on Thompson Buchanan's successful melodrama which created theatrical sensation ip New York in 1914, Life" William A. Brady production for Paramount, will be shown at the Empress Theater for two nights, beginning tonight. This melodrama picture was produced in New York recently and is declared by press and public to be one of the strongest pictures of the season.
 Billy Reid, a young private secre- tary to wealthy New York broker secretly marries his employers daugh- ter, Ralph Stuyvesant, son of the broker, is enamored by Muriel Bar risford, an adventures, and to grati- fly her whims, he forges his fathers name to a check. Tom Burnett, jeal ous of Billy, with the aid of Ralph, shifts the blame on Billy. At ball given at the Stuyvesant home, Bur nett shoots and kills the broker and circumstances pointing at him, Billy is arrested and convicted of the crime. He is saved from the chair by ruse through the efforts of his wife and Burnett is brought to jus tice.
 There are innumberable thrilling situations in the development of the story all of which have been ad- mirably brought out by Travers Vale, the director. Jack Mower is leading man and Airline Pretty, leading wom- an. Other capable players in the cast include Rod La Rocque, Lee ward Meeker, Nita Naldi and Effing- ham Pinto.

SAVANTS RAPS MAN
 WHO PLAYS C0-DS

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Dec, 2S.-"All I want to say it that MT. See has been very unfortunate in the women col lege graduates that he has met. His charges are not typical of college wo- men. College education betters both men and women"
 That's the way Dr. Charles Wesley Flint, new chancellor of Syracuse Un- iversity, takes up the defense of the American college woman of today, fol- lowing attacks by Alonzo B. See, New York millionaire manufacturer, who would burn down all women's colleges as non-essentials
 Syracuse, home of one of the big gest co-educational universities in the United States, is seething as result of the statements of MT. See.
 Mrs. Edward L. Robertson, graduate of Smith College and the first woman to be elected president of an upstate board of education, had this to say to International News Service:
 'It is an ignorant statement MT. See, it appears to me, knows little or nothing about college women or colleges. His statements are nothing short of ridiculous.
 "In the first place, college edu- cation costs too much for young peo- pie to loaf or indulge in frivolities. remember at Smith we took vote on whether college girls should be grant ed the privilege of smoking. It was voted down by big majority. AS for college girls dressing indecently, that charge is false"
 Mrs. William Nottingham, graduate and trustee of Syracuse University, declared that Sees statements were indeed rash" See, she declared, would do better if he were to bring about a growing interest in better things.

portance for the welfare of the fam ily-and would, therefore be better undertaken by men-long known as the more competent" sex. Because experience shows that where men do this work they do it better than wo- men.
 There is one aspect of housework, however, from which Dr. Chesser would exempt husbands-nursing.
 Men fail as nurses because the duty of nursing Is inspired by the mother spirit in women," she said. Men have not that instinct that no sharp line of demarcation could be drawn between mems and women's work.
 "Men excel in creative work" she said. "That is only because women's creative energy goes to the fulfill ment of the motherhood function"
 Women would soon put this topsy turvy world right, she concluded.

SEX WAR UNLIKELY
 IN BRITAIN

LONDON, Dec. 2S-The shadow of "sex war" in British politics appar- ently has been waited away by the results of the recent election. Fears of politicians that Woman's Party might arise to disturb existing prac- tices have been dissipated by the cold analysis of election returns.
 Out of thirty two women who sought favor at the polls As Parliamentary candidates only two achieved success. They were Lady Astor and Mrs. Wint- ringham-sitting members-who were returned to their posts by their con- stituencies. The thirty others whether Conservatives, Liberals, Lab- orjtes or Independents-saw their dreams of political preferment swept into the discard by an avalanche of adverse votes.
 Seer Not Surprised
 The result was not surprising to Cicely Hamilton, onted English author ess and one of the earliest leaders in the suffrage movement in Great Brit ain. Miss Hamilton regards the out come as logical development eman- ating from existing conditions.
 "When one comes to think of it, said Miss Hamilton, "the failure is not greatly surprising. The working man had long been enfranchised be- fore he sent representatives of his own class to Parliament; and there is no very striking or solid reason why the feminene element in the House of Commons should increase at a rate more rapid than the element of political labor.
 Further, it has to be remembered, in accounting for the present lack Of success, that the new candidates for Parliamentary honors had strenuous battle to fight; in no case did the party organizers put up woman to contest a seat that could be looked on as reasonably safe. Success in most instances would have meant an achievements notable achievement "a turnover of thousands that any politician might be pround of.
 "Hard Row to Hoe"
 "By that statement I do not wish to suggest that the women candidates have been handicapped or treated un- fairly by the leaders of their various parties. The hard row to hoe is right ly and justly the fate of the beginner, the budding politician, to whatever party he belongs. It stands to reason that seats where there is every pros pect of success are allotted to those who already have done their share of spadework and proved their met tie in previous and less equal con- tests.
 "The women candidates have no right to expect better treatment than their colleagues, Chivalry of that sort will never oil the wheels of the party machine"
 Miss Hamilton does noto believe, however, that the apparent failure of women candidates to achieve success in the last election presages the elim- nation of women from British poll tics. It is her opinion that the po- litical power of women in Great Brit ain will continue to develop, but that the growth will be gradual and there- fore pore stable.
