What Man
Shall Say
Wh0SG0Od?
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
An evidence of the new chivalry
comes from Georgia, where mob
of robed and masked men broke
into a woman's house and logged
her, we'll, because they said she was
immoral.
The Ku-Klux Khan will be &C
cused of this deed. Whether guilty
or not, in the minds of the majority
Of men and women this organization
will stand convicted.
There can be no doubt that this
example of the hooded order Is
responsible, at least indirectly, for
acts like these. Yet the Klan has
some noble sounding propaganda.
For instance, that which reads FOR
the sanctity of the American home
and the protection of pure woman
hood" Great stress is laid upon
this latter phrase. To merit the
protection of these stalwart males
a woman must be pious and holy.
good and chaste. Whether they
can measure up to these specifica-
ton or not, they will stick to the
idea that all females should. 3
Not Christian
Now what does pure womanhood
need with protection? Thoroughly
good women usually are safe enough
in the aura of their own virtue. 1t
is the unfortunate, the fallen, the
weak and the erring to whom their
gentlemanly and chivalrous instincts
should be directed. To protect pure
women and fog impure ones is GER
tainly not consistent with the tenets
of Christianity.
1t is a mans duty to protect all
women. For there is such multi
tude of us who are not good, women
who must live out their lives in a
world peopled by ruthless, preying
males, women who were once pure
until the day came when they
trusted one man too greatly, the
Magadalens of the earth-who shall
protect them?
These brave men of Georgia, how
pure and good and chaste do you
imagine they were when they took
upon themselves the task of beating
a woman who was not up to their
standards of virtue? Were their
lives perfect and their 'hearts with
out guile?
Like the Pharisees
But they had their prototypes in
ancient days, those Pharisees to
whom Jesus said: Let him who is
without sin cast the first stone at
her."
The Carpenter of Nazareth was
the worlds first gentleman, and He
taught chivalry too fine for such
twentieth century men to compre-
bend, a chivalry that accorded pro-
lection and sympathy to the UNI
fortunate.
And, after all, gentlemen, who are
the pure. who are the good? Is any
man able to decide that?

unnecessary. No matter how far
away your girl friend has moved
it is possible for you to go there,
too, some day when you are old

Keep up an active correspondence
with her and if the tone of her let

She may be willing to come back

REPLIES on Sacrifice

The divorce and neglect question
which was brought up by several let
tiers written to this column is being
discussed from all angles by read
ers. Number Twenty-Four" writes
as follows:
To Ritchey
Well, Richie. I feel for you. You love
her. there is no doubt. And this bust
ness of giving her up to some other man
is going to cut like a knife. Even though
she doesn't care so much for you, II
would make great difference II she left
you.

gard to him sticking to her as you have.
You'll have to give her up, Ritchey, be-
cause you would never be satisfied-but,
stick around and if the pup" doesn t
treat her as you have, and doesn't play
the game square, look him up and beat
his ears down.

Wen, madam. wish I could tell you
what / have told the man above. but I
can't. Me being a man makes 1t a little
difficult to suggest just what to do in
your case. A man that can't keep to his

ton isn't much anyway. But OF course.

see to do in your case is fade out!' I'm

Thrifty Cooking
and Time Savimg
Both Important

With modern conveniences for
cooking, this aspect of housekeeping
is getting more and more Simplifled.
Although cooking is not done on
so large a scale as formerly there
still remain certain time saving and
economical practices. Preparing a
whole ham, either by boiling or bak-
ing, is one outstanding example.
Meat is then ready for several meals
with but little additional time and
effort.
When selecting the whole or half
ham, ask the dealer to cut off one
or more center slices, the thickness
depending upon the method of
cooking to be used These slices can
be served in any one of several
ways.
For best results in boiling ham
the water should be kept simmering,
not boiling, and the kettle tightly
covered. A mild cured ham may be
baked without any previous boiling.
1t is important to keep this in mind
when temperature-c controlled oven
is used and other foods cooked in
the oven at the same time. A tenn
perature near 275 degrees gives eX-
cellent results-a juicy ham that
slices WE'LL
If preferred, ham may be boiled
all the cooking period except the
last hour; then scored, seasoned
with a paste of mustard, brown
sugar and fruit juice, stuck with
cloves, and then baked for an hour.
Either baked or boiled ham is de-
licious when Sliced cold For the
summer months salads and sand
wiches are, of course, most popular.
When chopped or ground, ham has
almost countless possibilities. From
the ham pattie for breakfast to the
ham loaf for the picnic lunch, every
bit can be utilized.
Even the ham liquor left from
boiling has it's valuable uses, as the
basis of pea or bean soup or the
essence of a delicious orange sauce
The bone should be saved to cook
with spinach or greens, to give a
much desired zest to these-vege~
tables.

held at Bay Shore, L. l., to raise
funds for the South Shore Hospital.
The fair fashionables who presid-
ed over the exotic little booths
where everything from cigarets to
household equipment was offered for
sale wore the most charming native
costumes. I think saw just about
every known Italian garb there from
the colorful dashing Sicilian peas
ant dress to the restrainedly beau
tiful attire of aristocratic Piedmont.
AS for up-to-date styleS-real Paris

fashion show, with society girls as
models. And outside, there. were
such smartly- gowned women visit

midsummer Easter parade were IN
full progress.
A Gay Group Of Gypsies
For just sheer gay color I think
one group of Gypsies excelled, with
their red, yellow, green anc orange
costumes-not to mention the huge
double rings of cleaning gold in
their ears. In this group I saw Mes
danes Harry Knapp, Jr.; William
H. Russell, William Gage Brady, Jr.,
and Carroll Draper and the Misses
Marion Wharton, Anne Valentine
and Marietta Russell.
Three convincing looking Sicllians
turned out to be Mrs. A. G. Griffin,
Miss Frances Hulse and Miss Betty
Cannon. They all wore very au-
thentic peasant costumes-the KIND
of "best dresses" that have full
short. gaudy skirts either heavily
embroidered or banded with SILK
dashing sashes knotted on one side
and topped by little eton effects over
white blouses.
Quite a contrast was the spotless

explains that 1t a. understood that II
such action were taken the bureau
would make provision for some au-
visory committee, on which the sew
eral departments and establishments
will have representation, to the end
that each will have full opportunity to
make known it's need and desires. Thls
would achieve the collateral ends OF
centralizing authority and response
bility and simplify the organization OF
the Government by a reduction in the
number of independent agencies.
Regarding the transfer of certain
executive powers of the joint commit
fee on printing to the Budget Bureau,
the Willoughby report points out that
the problem of control of public print
ing to secure elimination OF waste IS
in some respects analogous to that OF
the control of quarters for securing
the most effective utilization OF space
available.
AS in the case of the Public Build
ings Commission there is no doubt
that it was highly desirable that
control should have been set up over
the administrative departments and
establishments in respect TO the issue
of publications and especially the
issue of periodicals. And in the
absence of any agency of general
in the executive
branch it is understandable that Con-
eress should have vested that power
OF control in the joint committee on
printing. But the Bureau of Budget
is now in operation as an executive
agency particularly fitted to exercise
this control.
Regarding the proposed relief of
Evening star., 1927-04-27

the director of the Budget Bureau
from participation in the work of
the personnel classification board, the
Willoughby report says:
at is the opinion of practically all
students of personnel administration
that the administration of the classi
cation act should have been vested in
the Civil Service Commission as the
central agency of the Government in
respect to the administration of per-
sonnel matters. BY 50 doing the
correct principle of concentrating re-
sponsibility for a distinct function
instead of distributing it among a
number of organizations would be put
into execution
Both from the standpoint Of re-
lieving the bureau Of the budget from
the performance Of a duty not per-
tanning to its primary function and
which in practice has seriously in
terfered with the performance of this
essential duty and from that of i'm
proving the system of administering
the classification act, ii is highly de-
sirable that the personnel classifi-
cation board should be abolished and
its duties transferred to the Civil
Service Commission"
