Leaves Mission Field
After three years without domes-
tic troubles, Mrs, Eugene Peck is
wondering what she will do about
the servant problem in America.
Wherever DIR. Peck makes his final
home--for he has left the mission
field and will establish practice
somewhere as a specialist in chill
dren's diseascs-Mrs. Peck is sure
she will find domestic labor q hard
er and more expensive problem than
in China.
At II cost Of S20.50 month IN
American gold. Mrs, Peck received
the services of a cook, coolie and
houseboy and a nurse. These SER
wants not only did all Of her work,
but they furnished their own food,
beds and washing.
My cook received $3.50 a month, ,"
said Mrs. Peck, "and / didn't have to
do thing. l would never even have
had to enter the kitchen.
Il paid my Coolie and hOuscboy
$3.50 month. He did all the
srruhbing, waited on the table. ran
crrands and answered the door.
For $3.50 month, my 'amah' or

The supreme caution one must
exercise in choosing servants is that
they must all come from the same
province, Mrs. Peck explained. 9th
erWisc, peace might not reign under
the roof. In her own experience.
Mrs. Peck obtained her servants
from the country. All were men,
bers Of the same family.
Pctty Larceny In Kitchen
Although Chinese servants never
steal, they squeeze" said Mrs. Peck.
Thus, the cook will take a spoonful
of every pound of sugar and a slice
from every print of butter. When
she has accumulated a sufficient
quantity she will sell them back to
the grocer But housewives shut
their eyes TO this petty larceny, since
in a way 1t compcnsatos for the fact
that servants provide their own
meals.

Either strict enforcement OF
the 18th amendment or modih-

come about il the liquor situation
is to be betterel in any way, said
Chief of Police William c. Hart in
talk last night before members
Of the Exchange club at the Bur-
ritt hotel. ut Is time" he said,
that all citizens should band them
selves together in an effort to
bring out this bcttcrment of con-
ditions." The chief regards the
situation as one which is causing
no end of trouble.
Before the passage OF the VOL
stead act the police had all they
could attend to with the "cgular
run Of crime, sail Chief Hart, but
after that act became a law. the
police were presented with a situa-
ton which has caused trouble and
which will continue to cause trou-
BILE.
I'VE all Ike our little drink once

many citizens feel that they have
been deprived Of their constitution
rights by being deprived of the
priviledge of taking a drink OF
liquor from time 10 time. These
citizens will take It whenever they
can get it, he said.
Before prohibition became a
reality, the liquor business was In
the hands of men Of good Charac-
ter, who conducted their shops Just
like any other storekecper did, he
said. But now, another group has
sprung up, a group Of irresponsi-
blcs, many Of whom are not even
citizens of the United States, who
are catering to the wants Of many
who regard the 18th amendment as
an outrage,

the working man with little money

drink when and where he can,

are doing a rushing business.
In speaking of modification, the
chief remarked, partly to mem

made by Chief Hart. He said that
