TRAINING COOKS AND MAIDS
DESCRIBED BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Good
cooks are not born, they are educat-
ed. And the same is true of good
la~undresses and mattresses, accord
ing to Mamie II. Burroughs, princi-
pal of a boarding school for lao
colored girls in this city.
The fundamental trouble with
the colored woman in domestic
work." she says, sis that she has not
been given a practical education to
fit her to earn her living efficiently.
For the next 80 years at least, so
per cent Of the colored women who
work are going to be cooks n
laundresses and household assis-
tants. And since that is such a
large group it should have special
attention. There should be a prac-
teal vocational training school in
each city, just as there are business
| colleges. Yet scarcely a school in
the country is training colored girls
in a really practical way for this
sort of work.
According to this expert on educa-
tional problems of colored girls, it
is even possible for a girl to have
a high school diploma, and to have
studied cooking in a domestic
science class, and still be what is
known as green. Such a girl is ap-
parently slow and stupid. She has
no conception of her work as a re-
sponsible post. She drifts from tne
home to another and from n kind
of homework to another. She is
simply shiftless.
The fault. Mamie Burroughs finds,
does not rest so much with the girl
herself as with the conditions that
make her what she is. In the cities
coIored girls are being given the
same sort of education as white girls
with the idea that they r thus
given d fair preparation for life.
This is not generally the case. The
white girl is more apt to have an ad-
vantage in her home training n
environment, and also in heredity.
The average colored child has a
mother who works hard, often away
fIom home, to keep her family fed
aud clothed. This mother has no
time or opportunity to give her
daughter the sort OF Background
that will make her contacts with
people successful. And yet the
schools are not supplying the lack.
They are busy with text books and
| with training that is mainly theo-
retical.
The result is that many employers
of co!ored workers regard them as
inefficient, and the workers them
selves are dissatisfied. Colored fam
| lilies are steadily migrating from one
| place to another, chiefly from the
South toward the North. They are
| seeking, they say, better educational
opportunities and protection of the
law. They are pouring into New
York, Chicago, and other cities
About 100000 have moved in tbs
past five years. and they are Great
ing a distinct industrial problem.

German Cash Not
Scarce Everywhere
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Staff Writer

Poverty stricken as Germans may
be at home, it's worth considering
that there are a few parts Of the
world where they ended the war
with more actual cash money" than
almost anybody.
True, so many countries were
aligned against the central powers
that there were not many where
their assets, liquid and otherwise,
were very safe from alien property
custodians. Still, there were q few,
notably in South America.
Argentina and Chile remained
neutral to the end, If not a trife pro-
German in their sympathies. Brazil
ships in her waters, but never inter-
fered with her German residents
private holdings.
Now, Germans were and are very
numerous in all these countries and
owned a great deal in all Of them.
Barrels of Money
If they could have done so, no
doubt they would have realized heav-
lily and sent the money home to be
used against the allies, but they
couldn't get it across the ocean.
Consequently it piled up in banks.
Buenos Aires, Rosario, Santiago de
Chile, Valparaiso, Rio de Janeiro,
Porto Allegro and other cities until
they were fairly bursting with it.
Throughout the whole period of
huge val profits, with the allied sub
jects financially pinched by demands
from their native countries, the Ger
mans a these vaSt sums to operate
with. The black list was supposed to
cripple them, but there were pre-
cious few Germans who couldn't find
neutral firms to trade through.
Finally the armistice and the n
suing business depression found the
allies, on the one hand, in many
cases hard put to it even to last
through the hard times, and the
Germans, on the other, simply roll
ing in ready cash with which to
gobble UP every bargain that the
money crisis soon forced into the
market in endless numbers.
Cash Right al Hand
Today, in finance, Germans are far
stronger in South America than ever
before. Not the least Of their ad-
vantages is that, when a Latin
American government of enterprise
wants some accommodation the Ger
mans don't have to refer the propo-
sition to the home country. If they

~fluential single foreign interest on
the southern continent.
lust what it amounts to in cash
it's impossible to say, but there's no
doubt it runs high into the hundreds
of millions-enough to pay repara-
tons for quite a while, if it were
possible to get at it.

SHARP RECOVERY
 IN COTTON FROM BREAK ON MONDAY

NEW YORK, March 27.-There was a very sharp recovery from yester- days excited break with price of July contracts advancing to 2S.26c in the cotton market here today. Of- ferings were much lighter following the heavy liquidation of the past three or four days and the advance of some 73 to S5 points from yester- days closing quotations was at tributed to covering and trade buy ing promoted by higher Liverpool cables, continued unsettled weather in the south and reports of small spot offerings. July closed at 2S.16c, or within 10 points of the best, and the general list closed steady 50 to r points net higher.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 16 to 65 points, generally 30 to 65 points higher in response to unexpectedly firm cables from Liverpool. good many overnight selling orders caused reactions of 20 or 30 points. The pressure, however, was much less active than yester- day and as soon as these early offer ings were absorbed that market be- came comparatively quiet. This was taken to mean that liquidation had been sufficient to materially improve the technical position and covering because more general during the aft ernoon, when offerings were compar- atively small, and good many bull lish weather reports and spot ad- vances were reaching here from the south. May sold up to 29.23c and October to 25.23c, making net ad- vances of 73 to S5 points on the gen. eral list, with the later months rela- lively firm. Complaints of delayed farm work were numerous, particu- lar1y from the southwest while there were also reports claiming that the recent cold snap had failed to kill many boil weevil.
 Private cables said the advance in Liverpool was due to continental buying of near months and covering by shorts. The maintenance of the May premium in the market here was much commented on when prices turned upward and there were rumors that the exchange still had to fix prices on considerable cotton this spring. Exports this week 16.952 making 60,317 so far this season. Port receipts 16,658. United States mort stocks 639329
