Wifehood
 And Motherhood Regular Job
Dorothy Dir
There Would Be More Happy Marriages If Women Would Tackle Matrimony The Way They Do Bus iness-Wth Thorough Preparation And
 Desire To Give Satisfaction

Women look at wifehood and motherhood in different ways, ac- cording to their different tempera- ments and the circumstances by which they are surrounded. Some see it as an act of God for which they are in no way responsible. Some as a high and holy calling. Many as a graft. Not a few as abject slavery.

| Job for which they have qualified,
 and in which they mean to use the same tactics to succeed that they would use in any other line.
 The woman who goes into a bus-
 ness or a profession first prepares herself for what she intends to do | She goes through years of hard
 study and grueling apprenticeship to
 her trade. She wouldn't expect to
 opera without ever having seen a doctors book or sung a note. Why
 should not the woman who under takes the job of running a home prepare herself equally well for doing it?
 Cooking is no more a matter of inspiration than law is. A knowl- edge of how to cater economically the technique of writing. All crafts manship is the result of expert knowledge, and this only comes by doing the same thing over and over again.
 If girls prepared themselves for their jobs as wives and mothers as ! thoroughly as they do for the job Of stenographer or file clerk, it would go long way toward secur- ing the health and happiness and prosperity Of their homes. When a woman takes any other job she does so with the idea of giving satisfaction and making it a l success. Very few marriages would
 be failures if women tried as hard
 to get along with their husbands as
 they do with their bosses. or their customers or clients, and if they were as much on their tiptoes to pull off
 good job as wife and mother as ! they are to be crackerjack buyer or win a big lawsuit.
 Furthermore, a woman knows that
 she gets out of her job just what she puts into it. If she puts into it every
 bit oi her heart and soul and energy | and ambition, she always succeeds. l Would any mother ever fail, would any wife ever fail, who puts these | qualities into her job?

FIRE CHIEFS
SPEED
Danger of Auto Crashes Will
Be Taken Up With Watson.
Problem Difficult.

Commissioner James F. Oyster de-
clared today that he planned to
talk with George s. Watson, fire
chief, on the question OF reducing
the speed of battalion chiefs
responding to alarms.
I'VE have received a number of
complaints about the speed of these
cars" The Commissioner said, land
7 wish that we could cut down their
speed"
The Commissioner said thae he
had discussed the question with the
chief several times, but that the
chief had been of the opinion that
such action would be unwise.
It was pointed out to the Com
missioner today that the battalion
chiefs carry no apparatus and that
If they were delayed a few seconds.
it would make no material diff
ference. 1t was suggested that fire
captains be placed in charge until
the arrival of these chiefs.
II do not favor either the
engines of chiefs speeding through
the streets, but apparently 1t is
the wisest thing to do he said.
IF the fire apparatus or chief
do not reach the fire quickly, lives
NAV be lost as the result. The de-
nartment will be criticized. If they
have an accident while responding
quickly, they will also be criticized.
In any case the question of human
life is concerned. The firemen
never knows but what they are
going to a fire where people are in
danger and must get immediate as
sistance.'
people do not clear out of the
streets as quickly as they could when
they hear fire engines of fire chiefs
coming down the street. the com
missioner said, "if they did. l think
there would be fewer accidents"
Recently a number of fire chiefs
have been in accidents while respond
ing to fires. One accident nearly
resulted in the death of a chief.
These chiefs travel in small road
sters, making it almost impossible
for them to come to a quick stop In
emergencies. The commissioner was
told that If these chiefs would travel
twenty-five or thirty miles and hour
instead of forty and forty-five, they
twenty-five or thirty miles an hour
| nossible save life in doing so.
"I am going to talk 1t over with
Chief Watson" 1.-The Commissioner
concluded, IF we find it is wise tc
reduce the speed of chiefs, it will
| he done. This is question which
has two sides and must be giver
ample consideration before action II
! taken.

The highest previous temperature

Menace Health by Living

The police department has been.
instructed to keep a close watch
on all gypsy camps in Washing

ter, in charge of the police, said
today.
washington apparently is in
vaded by gypsies," the Commits
sioner said. "They have aban-
doned their old tent cities and
are now occupying rooms in the
downtown sections"
FifteeO Live In Room.
Commissioner Oyster said today
that he was not pleased with the
invasion of these people.
ct have instructed the police to
watch all of these gypsies," he said;
while I do not suspect they are
violating the law, want to be very
sure that they are not"
The Commissioners today called
DIR. William G. Fowler. District
Health Officer, in conference to see
il he knew of some way to rid the
city of the fast-increasing number
of tribes who have been making
their homes here recently.
DIR. Fowler said that he had In
vestigated a number OF gypsy
homes.
I'm many cases we have found
they live practically in filth" he
said. 1--WE order them to clean up,
but that is as far as we 60"
The Commissioner told the Health
Officer that he had had reports OF
ten or fifteen gypsies living in one
room. DIR. Fowler said he knew OF
cases where six or eight were IN
one room and also that they were
sleeping on the floors.
Few of Them Work.
"But there is nothing we can do
about this" said DR.. Fowler, I'VE
cannot compel them to change their
| living habits"
Commissioner Oyster said that he
wished something could be done
about the gypsies.
"They are all over the city," he
said. Neither the men or women
work, but they always seem to
have plenty of money. 1 don't
understand where they get it,"
! In former years gypsies have had
small tent cities on lots in the
outlying sections. They also trav.
eled by horse and wagon. Now they
ride in expensive automobiles and
hire rooms all over the city. Many
of the women earn money by tell
! ing fortunes.

fore June / next, Frank Il
Stephens, District Corporation
Counsel, declared today.
Must Prosecute All.
"The Commissioners are powerless
to permit the continued use OF
these homes after June !, Stephens
said, They must. according to the
alley act, prosecute all persons
who themselves live in or permit
others to live in alley dwellings.
Stephens said today that he had
heard several lawyers discuss the
constitutionality of the act.
IT feel quite sure that owners
or tenants of these properties win
go to the District Supreme Court
and seek an injunction to restrain
the Commissioners from enforcing
this law he saids
The penalty for violation Of the
act is fine of from SO TO 500
day for each violation. Every
day after June / that these dwell.
ines are occupied, according TO the
law, must be construed as . sep
arate violation of the law.
! II am sorry that the Commission
ers' bill to extend the operation Of
the law for two years did not PASS
in Congress, Gemmissioner Rudolph
said today. I'VE did everything In
our power to have the measure put
/ through.
Closing of these alley dwellings
will work untold hardships on the
| tenants. They have no place to
go. Rents in the alleys are very
| low and it will be practically i'm
possible for jewellers in these alley
homes to get a house on the streets
at rent anywhere near as low an
| they are now paying
Commissioner James r. Oyster il
particularly worried over the en-
forcement of the law
II wish there was some way We
could extend the operation of the
act, but at present there appears to
! be none," he said. '"The Commie-
| sioners are sworn by oath to en-
force the law. This is the law and
| there is but one thing to do
There have been suggestions that

practical by District officials.

is a very unfortunate situation.
| "I can see no objection to CON
tinuing these homes, provided the
tenants keep them in a satisfactory
and sanitary condition"
Commissioner Oyster today said
he planned to direct Major Daniel
Sullivan. superintendent of police.
to have members of the department
to canvas the city to determine the
exact number of alley homes and
tenants, together with conditions in

The number of tenants in these
homes is estimated at between 9.OOe
