LUCY LOWELL
ON WIVES IN
BUSINESS
TYP IN Massachusetts the State
department Of labor has dis
covered that wives working

TIP IN Massachusetts the State
department Of labor has dis
covered that wives working
outside the home are a menace.
A long intricate report tells the
world about it and explains that
wives who go out to daily toll
can't take care Of their homes as
they should.
Besides, it's hard on the birth
rate, the report goes on by impli-
cation at least, since the woman
who is putting in her eight hours
in shop or office or factory lacks
the time to have children and
couldn't take care Of them If she
had them.
Something over 81 per cent Of
all females over ten work out
side the home in that State, &C.
cording to the report.
Now I agree that the employed
wife is a menace-but not to the
nation or home.
It's my opinion that she Is a
menace to the large and growing
percentage of wives who do not
work either outside or inside the
home!
If a census were taken of these
in Massachusetts or in any other
State the result, am confident,
would be an astonishing revela-
ton to welfare workers, statis-
ticians, divorce-menace criers
and others who always are trem-
bling over the large number Of
unsuccessful or Indifferent marri-
ages in this country and who
eternally are asking "Why?"
The wife who goes out to work
Is helping to make home by
her efforts. She is helping to buy
food and furniture and clothing
and pay the rent. The MasSachu-
sets report bears out this state
ment.
1.-The old idea that most women.
work for pin money Is falla-
cious," the report continues.
These women stand side by side
with their husbands and help them
carry the load imposed by high
prices and ever-rising standards
of living.
But the idle wives take what
they can get-all they can get
and give In return as little as
possible. Their chief work Is hir-
ing servants and making sure
that their dinner arrangements
are perfect-for those are the
sort, usually, who make places Of
perpetual entertainment of their
homes.

Garrett P. Serviss Explains Theory
That Electricity Is Primary
Life Force
BY Garrett p. Serviss,

Eminent Astronomer and Writer
on Scientific Topic Of Popular
Interest.
" HE growing belief that every
thing is electricity, or that
electricity il every thing,
may be thought to find additional
support in DR.. D. T. MacDougal'o
recent explanation Of how living
matter develops in plants. The
protoplasm, or living matter. i'll
a young plant cell, he says, IS
usually electrically negative.
Then, when positively charged
particles OF the material of which
the cell is composed are brought
into proximity to it, they are at
tracted to the negatively charged
particles, and by union with them,
make new living matter in the
cell.
But now q process Of restora-
ton Of the negative state of the
protoplasm takes place In the
cell, after which more positively
charged material is attracted,
thus continuing the growth Of
the cell.
After a time, however, this
process ceases, and thereafter
the growth stops and there Is no
more increase of the volume Of
protoplasm in the cell.
But with the stoppage Of the
accretion the cells begin to en-
large in another way. They dis
tend, or swell, without any nddi-
ton to the volume Of living nat
ter that they contain. Nine-tenths
or the visible growth Of a plant.
DR.. MacDougal says, is due TO
this process Of distention of the
cells.
The forces that now come into
play are the same as those
which enter into the mechanism
OF absorption Of the mineral COM
pounds from the soil. which are
SO necessary for the existence Of
living matter"
Without going into the techni-
calities of the subject, here again
we find electricity in control.
The distending plant cells by
which all soil solutions are taken
up are sacs or bags containing
solutions of sugar and other sub
parchment. are subject to great
changes In permeability by the
action OF the soil salts. The per-
meability is affected by the ions
OF minerals in a degree CORES
ponding to the number and sign
OF the unit charges of electricity
they carry"
It is also in accordance with
these properties, we are told, that
the plant appears to Select" ce--
tain minerals, while 1t rejects
others. Carry this to it's logical
conclusion, and electricity shows
it's hand in all plant endowments,
such as color, perfume, SAVIOR.

through the clouds to London, was

Nay, we see electrically; we
hear electrically; we taste and
smell and feel electrically. At
bottom, all Is electric. Energy Is
electricity, matter Is electricity.
Is there anything else? Have we
now thoroughly explained nature
and life?-Or are we within sight
of a thorough explanation?
Perhaps some will say promptly
''yes." But there are certainly
others just as prompt to say
no" These will ask: What
made this universal, protean
thing, electricity" And they will
not at all accept the statement
that 1t is absurd to ask such a
question, for electricity, being the
foundation and essence of every
thing. needs no explanation-it
is because it is.
Is that satisfactory? Can the
mind stop there apd feel itself
forever at rest? II we have
reached the real end, why does
the question arise: What lies be-
yond?" Such a question could
not occur II the intellect was alb
solutely satisfied that it possessed
the ultimate truth.
Is the intellect, then, something
Independent of and superior to
this universal element and agent
Of the physical enthusiastically?
Or Is electricity simply engaged
in Investigating itself when the
scientist pursues his studies in the
laboratory? Can you believe that?
Can you think that electricity

his microscope, finds entertain
ment and instruction in seeing
