NEW YORK. October 24.-Escape
from the monotony rather than the
drudgery of the housewives lot has
caused her to choose luXuries instead
of conveniences, concludes the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
after a canvass on what Women
Want in Their Homes"
The average Amrican houswl{e
prefers an automobile and a tele-
phone rather than have modern
plumbing arrangements in her home,
because these offer relief from
monotony that has driven many of
her predecessors into insane asylums.
The federations findings We're
written by Mrs. Mary Sherman, ma
tional president, in the Womap's Home
Companion.
THE housewife does not mind
washing stacks of dishes under the
glow Of an electric globes but the
task doubles or trebles If she must
do it by the smoky dim light from
kerosene lamp" said Mrs. Sher-
man. "She does not mind sweeping
the lower floor of the house if she
knows that at the end of her task
she can sit down and chat via the
telephone with a neighbor 5 mit~s
away, and she will beat rugs for an
hour If the evening brings the re-
taxation of an automobile drive"
While 65 per cent of a large num-
Der of homes investigated We're found
to have inside sanitary arrangements
and SO per cent of them had bath
tubs, 20 per cent of these families
had automobiles and 6S per cent of
them We're equipped with telephones
The research made by the fedora
ton covered 445 9S7 homes scattered
through 237 communities. In 40 per
cent of the homes 1t was found that
there were no stationary washbowls.
and water had to be carried in and
out, and 25 per cent of them were not
even equipped with kitchen sinks. But
81 per cent had electric light. and 73
per cent were equipped with electric
irons.
Radios were found in 17.6 per cent
of the homes, pianos In As per cent,
monographs in so per cent.
In discussing the high percentage
of homes equipped with automobiles
and telephones, but not with plumb
ing. Mrs. Sherman declared:
"Sentimentalists will say that the
fault lies with the men. But we
club women who study conditions
from the inside of the home under
stand the situation better. Women no
longer undervalue their services in
the home. They run their homes on
the budget plan and have personal al
lowances to spend as they like.
Then why do they choose luxuries
instead of conveniences? Why does
the automobile take precedence over
the stationary tub, the telephone over
the vacuum cleaner and the radio over
the power.run sewing machine?
Because the housewife for genera
tions has sought escape from the mo-
notony rather than the drudgery Of
her lot. She can and does endure toll,

The other eight-round event on
the same card between Charlie
Baum, of Baltimore, and Slim

by staying eight rounds with NICK

Winning streaks, with a few
notable exceptions here and there,
have a habit of developing an elu.
sive twist or doing a disappearing
act in the various realms of sport.
Now and then a competitor or
combination succeeds in breaking
down the barriers to establish a
new record span of supremacy, but
more often the march is checked by
physical or mental obstacles.
William T. Tilden and Rogers
Hornsby have founded two Of the
longest modern reigns in any
sphere of competition. Each has
held the top-Tilden on the courts
and Hornsby in National League
batting-for five successive CAM
paigns. Each has a firm hold on
the throne. with bright prospects
of making 1t six straight.
Where at least a half dozen en-
tries had stumbled and been turned
back in quest of the same goal,
the Giants broke down tradition
last season to win their fourth
straight pennant, modern record.
McGraws men themselves had
found the path to this objective
blocked before after three victori-
GUS drives. The Athletics, Cubs,
Tigers, Orioles and Yankees, too,
had slipped on the threshold of
four successive pennant triuTnphs.
McGraw now has his master
mind concentrated on fifth
straight flag and a record which
no club in ancient or modern base
ball history has touched.

Some six hundred Washington,

the annual &C" Club games at the
Central High School stadium. The
meet will open at 1880. ana the
five-mile marathon, which Will
force the athletes to circle the Dig
oval twenty times, will end up the
affairs.
The five-mile marathon is billed
as the feature OF heavy schedule.
For the grade-school speedsters
there will be events, for the girlies
there will be events. and for the
Junior, high and prep schools there
will be events. That makes 1t a
merry occasion.
Thirteen standard events are to
be run off in the regular high
school division, with Virginia and
Maryland schools competing. There
is bound to be a hot. scramble for
the point trophy, because the local
schools have been wrecked by the
anti.frat ban, while the prep schools
and the out-of- -towners have been
strengthened.
Johnny McHugh, starter in the
last Olympic games, has come down
from New York to do his stuff. In
the track world there is only one
starter, and that one is Johnny. He
has the knack Of getting the run
ners off in a bunch, and he is one
of the smoothest working track Of
ficlals in the whole country.
With forty-six entries in the 100.
yard dash, there is certain to be
pIenitude Of sprints for. the fans.
It is likely that at least forty will
go to the post, and that means a
number of heats, and semi-finals.
Those athletes will run their legs
OFF to get in the finals.
Norman Oyster, chairman Of the
committee in charge of the meet,
has everything all set for the open
ing gun. He has worked long and
diligently to perfect the arrange
ments so that there will be no last
minute bitches. Others on the com
mittee have aided him, and IL the
games do not go off smoothly and
promptly, it will be no fault Of
theirs.
