England Opens
Her Doors To
German Walters

Berlin. Jan. 10. -(Mail y" after
the beginning of the new year l shall
not be serving you any longer. / am
going back to try and set my Old
position in England"
A Servlle German waiter in one of
Berlin's better-class restaurants was
overheard making the above remark
IN English to an American diner.
Asked why he had delayed so long
after the war in seeking reemploy-
Lent abroad, the waiter explained
that only on December % had the
English government lifted it's post
war ban on German arrivals
For this man. and doubtless hun
drcds of others in his calling here,
that date had stood out long as a
red-lettcr day on his calendar. He
has been working for months and
supporting his family with no other
remuneration from the restaurant
than the ten percent tip legally pre-
Scrlbed for walters in Germany, to-
Sethcr with such added Sratuities as
benevolent guests We're inclined to
give.
1t is estimated that there are
abroad now only Onc-SiXth of the
German and Austrian cooks and
walters who were in foreign employ
before the war. When hostilities
broke out many dropped their knives
and forks in other lands to come
home and pick up rife; others were
deported or informed; some were
caught while visiting in Germany
and, willingly or otherwise, became a
part of the military forces.
In 1914 there were some 5000 Ger
man and Austrian cooks in foreign
countries, and $4,000 walters. Today
there are from 500 to 1000 cooks, and
about three times that many walters

HOME REMEDIES OF OUR
ANCESTORS

Almost every man and woman in
America can remember the botanic
recipes of our mothers and grand
mothers for the treatment of disease,
and they were wonderfully depend
able too Every fall there were stored
away in the attic thoroughwort,
pennyroyal, catnip. sage, wormwood.
Tue. etc. for treating ills of the fam
lily during the winter months that
followed. In 1873. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound was first
prepared from one of these botanic
recipes. and the demand for it has
increased to such an extent that
hundreds of tons of roots and herbs
are now used annually in its prepar-
htion. 1t has recently been proved
that 80 out of every 100 women who
try it have been benefited by it's use.
which is marvellous record fer any

DIR. Elizabeth Sloan Chesser argued
that the teaching of housewifery
and cooking to men and boys would
help to solve many social problems

was much more arduous work than
journalism, public speaking and

were more fitted for it than wo-

Editorial Comment
Women, Education and the Univer
sity Of Maine
Bangor Commercially

Last year in September when the
University of Maine opened, approx
matcly IS well qualified girls of
Maine had been turned away because
there were no housing facilities for
them. Not only was there no space
on the campus. but in the private
houses of Orono cooperating with
the University relieve the conges-
tion-no further room existed.
A similar condition existed the
previous ycar-about the same num-
her were denied the chance for COL
lege education at their own State
University. There is every reason to
believe that there will be like den
ial of opportunity this year as well.
Furthermore unless the State pro-
vidcs such housing facilities in the
way of dormitorics as the University
asks for, VIC shall find it difficult to
justify this constant denial of col
lege education of large group of
properly qualified girls of our State.
Women, both in Maine and else
where have bee inserted bodily in a
manmade college world and they are
still being invited to adapt them
selves to it and to accept the
courses, habits of thought, and life
of institutions made primarily for
men.
AT an address last Sept ,mb.r to
the Maine Federation of Women's
Clubs. the President of the Univcr-
Sity of Maine discussed this matter
and outlined suggested notifications
tc produce eventually a characteris-
tic and well adapted form of college
education for women. Following this
line. DR.. Caroline Colvin, Professor
of History at the University of
Maine, has recently been made Dean
of Women. DR.. Colvin brings to her
new position the fruits of years of
teaching and of familiarity with
Maine girls.
The proposed changes include
among other things universal physi-
cal training to teach the girls to be
good winners and losers and to try
their hardest for given purpose as
well as to fit them physically for the
nervous and trying duties of bring
ing into the world and rearing the
future generations
Another item is the retention and
development of home interests bv
the creation of proper atmosphere
in the dormitories. The three small
Gormitories asked for at the present
legislature are efforts along this line.
or equal Importance are changes
in the subject matter of the courses
and curricula. Especial emphasis
should be placed on the training of
women as citizens and prospective
organizers Of the home. This in

THAT CONTINGENT FUND

The outsider. the man in the street,
Is likely to conclude several things
from what Governor Baxter tolls the
Legislature, respecting the conting-
ent fund. One conclusion is pretty
sure to be that the payments of
$4,000 for items overlooked by the
previous Legislature make an unnec-
essarily large amount. But this is
a big State and Legislatures are
made up Of mortals, who like all of
us should do things which we some
times do not and may not be depend
ed on to do. A closer margin be-
desirable and may be possible. 1t
would seem so. At least it should
be diligently sought.
The Governor criticiscs tho over
drawal of accounts by departments
tc the tune of 3S9,631.17. This too,
seems q large sum for such pur-
poses. In other words. the logic Of
the situation is with the Governor.
1t might be instructive to hear from
the other side, from the departments,
whether in the first place they were
allowed what they may have known
from experience was necessary to
the proper performance of their du-
ties. 1t is conceivable that in some
instances a fairly good explanation
might he made, but as matter OF
principle, as a method of transacting
the affairs of state. departments
should keep within the appropria =
tions even though so to do would
prove injurious to the State; but it is
sometimes fortunate-or seems to be
that practice can on occasion af-
ford a safety valve to theory. But
whatever the cause, and big though
the business of the State is, most. we
think. will be impressed with the idea
that methods under which such over
drawing of accounts becomes nee
cessary are not creditable methods.

CAUSE FOR GENERALIZATION

1.-THE British nation may be eX-
cused for feeling that America is
only less formidable as an ally than
as an enemy" remarks the London
Post respecting the terms required
by us for the funding Of the loan to
England. This is not a gracious re-
mark, even if made as it was, in con-
nection with congratulations to the
British government on acceding to
the terms, though the Post admits it
was almost impossible to do other
wise than accept.
The terms of settlement are either
fair or they are unfair. 1t is too
much to expect unanimity of opinion.
but at least it ought to be possible to
determine whether claims pro and
con are well founded and whether
arguments are sincere That of the
Post if sincere offers as the only
alternative a limited vision. Evil
IDENTIFY it doesn't include considera-
ton of congressional action in this
country.
It will be recalled that Congress
would not give the commission a free
hand but stipulated that the term of
the loan should not exceed twenty
five years and that the rate of inter-
est should not be less than 44rc,
which is what our government is pay
ing the holders of Liberty bonds.
1t is understood that Great Britain
has agreed to pay for a period of ten
years go interest and 20 annually
to sinking fund; that for the cnsu-
ing period of 80 years they will pay
an annual interest of 3art. This
agreement cannot go into effect I'M
less approved by Congress. The
general opinion appears to he that
such approval should be granted
Judging by the interest rates of the
past one Of $50 is not altogether un-
attractive.
Immediate settlement of this mat
ter will be conducive to the welfare
of the world in more ways than one
At present it is cause of friction be-
tween the two countries. Opinion
appears to be sincerely divided
respecting it. England, evidently,
the people of England think, that we
have enacted rather harsh terms
Over here we do not think so. That
state of mind is not a profitable one:
it contributes 10 the welfare of ncith-
er country. BY all means let's have A
settlement, as nearly fair as possible,
but a settlement. 1t will prove a
foundation for the worlds stability.

The latter figures do not include
large number of Germans who re-
manned in the United States through
out the war.
Chicago is cited here as having
hitherto been the most popular single
point of attraction in the outside
world. In that city alone. before the
war, the German and Austrian cooks
numbered 800 and the walters no less
than 1000.
E,uropeal countries also drew many
OF these employees away from their
native tables, and it is a source of
surprise to many tourists here that
frequently the man who serves them
can speak as many as six languages.
London abounded in German walters.
and naturally the recent relaxation
in the English restrictions finds wide
favor among many here who are
chatting at confinement within the
vicious circle of low wages and high
costs of living. with mark that is
constantly depreciating in value.
Next to England and America.
Switzerland and Holland were the
prC-war promised lands" of these
frock coated, disciplined pilgrims
However, when Germany obliged
numerous Swiss walters here to leave
the country at the outbreak of the
war, the Swiss authorities took sim
liar action against German walters in
Switzerland. Further, the Swiss en-
plOyers came to the conclusion that
the Germans had underbid Swiss
walters so greatly that their compe-
tition was injurious to the country 3
native populace.
Two years ago arrangements were
made for an international exchange,
but the German interests concerned
worked to impede Il walters exodus
from the Fatherland. One of these
distractions was a demand that for
every German waiter going to Hol-
land, six Dutch walters were to be
sent here.
Some of these workers abroad have
been drifting to Italy and Spain. but
the former country has shown strong
resistance to their re-entry. OPPOSE
ton to them has also been found in
the scandinavian countries and in
the British overseas possessions. In
one of the former German colonies
the admission requirements have
been frightened even recently.
Holland has been proving more
and more of magnet for German
houscmaids as well. According to an
unofficial estimate recently an
nounced here, there are at least
100000 of these "frauleins" now on
Dutch soil, with 10000 in Amsterdam
alone. The number is so great, it is
said. that many are finding difficulty
IN obtaining employment.
