BUNK!

Whenever changes are in process, a
certain thing invariably takes place. 1t
is inevitable Students of social phenom-
ena have called it Manifestation of the
crowd mind" They mean by this a
dissemination to personal thought and
a release from such effort into the COM
Portable responsibility of vague and
glttering sentimentalties. of platitudes,
defined as meaningless, an empty sound,
dead letter, nonsense jargon, gibberish,
jabber moonshine. absurdity. 80" The
dictionary list goes on and on, but in
plain and expressive slang all may be
summed up in the one word bunk"
The reason for this is easy to under
stand. These tactics becloud the issue,
divert the mind from the matter in
hand, at the same time supplying tags
and catch-words with which to fill the
mouth. Such a phenomenon appears to
have developed in certain local re-
action to the equal rights bill proposed
by the National Woman's Party.
Women have split into factions upon
this issue and much difference of opinion
prevails. There arc those who are op-
posed to any more amendments to the
Constitution on general principles. The
National Woman's Trade Union League
of America is fighting the bill on the
ground that it would do away with
labor legislation beneficial to women
Equal disagreement exists over the bill
in its relation to married women, also
in regard to, the present economic status
of the woman in the home.
With the shifting of economic en-
phasis from the home to more highly
Just what is the relative economic re-
sponsibility OF either men or women in
relation to home life only that the whole
question needs complete. and. intelligent
overhauling. While this vast shifting
of values is in process, millions OF wo-
men in the United States are engaged
in business, in industry. in the profes-
sions, and the increased cost of living
is steadily forcing larger and still larger
bodies of married women into wage
earning and gainful occupations of in
Vulnerable kinds.
As a contribution to this completely

A Puzzle a Day

A certain man owned square piece
of ground. Ike wished to keep one
fourth of it for himself and to divide
the remainder among his four sons.
each of whom must receive a plot Of
land exactly the same in size and
shape as those of his three brothers.
The father, moreover, decided that
his share must adjoin each plot be-.

THE FAILURE AT ROME.

Those who know what happened at
the conference of naval experts In
Rome, make it clear that the cause of
reduced ornaments has gained little
or nothing aside from n better under
standing of the difficulties that lie in
the way of any sort of agreement.
Instead of coming to the conference
prepared to talk about reducing their
naval strength. some of the most inn
portant nations represented merely ill.,
sisted on their right to build more
ships. If that right was conceded, they
were willing to remain and consult
about reducing the ornaments of other
nations, and il not, they were prepared
to put on their hats Immediately and
go home Old fears and jealousies
dominated the meetings. and there was
no compelling influence in favor Of
disarmament to be found i'll any quar-
ter. There was, in fact, no such COM
munity either Of interest or opposition
among the nations represented as
would permit them to reach a general
agreement. Separate groups of nations
both in the new world and the old
were thinking of their individual riv-
alries, and nobody thought with earn
estness about the general necessitySfor
reduced naval expenditures.
In this respect the discussions diff
fered from those held in Washington.
where few powers were able TO find
a common basis for action and avoid
all distracting issues. The happy sit
uation in Washington was chiefly due
to the guidance of Secretary Hughes.
Before the conference Mr.. Hughes
was urged to open the proceedings to
the wide world and to include consid-
Grafton Of disarmament on land as
well as at sea in his program. Had he
yielded. the result in Washington
probably would have resembled that
which developed in Rome.-Detroit

Single Contractor Most
Satisfactory in End

Placing a contract for the finished
house in the hands Of single re-
sponsible contractor usually Is the
most satisfactory method. When
contract is let to single contractor
on a lump sum basis, the owner
knows exactly what the total cost OF
the house will be If his plans are
complete and no extras have to be
added as the work progresses. This
practice is sometimes varied by plac-
ing most of the work. under one con-
tract. making separate contracts only
for lighting, heating and plumbing
equipment.
Another form Of contract, which Is
not likely to prove as satisfactory as
the lump sum contract, Is to have
the contracting builder pay for all
labor and materials, and receive In
addition an agreed percentage Of
their cost. This Is known as the
"cost plus system. Its weakness lies
in that it gives the contractor an In
centive to let labor and material costs
mount up and that the total ultimate
cost is not determined in advance. A
third common form Of building con-
tract provides that the contractor
shall be paid for materials and labor.
and a fee for supervision fixed in adj
vance.
