EASTIS
EAST
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

The other day some man in Balti-
more admitted in print that he did
not know the name of the capital of
Oklahoma. Ut was not Mr.. Mecken).
He was presumably an intelligent
person and did not deny that when
it came to brains he had his share.
The fact that he was little short on
geography did not appear to strike
him as any personal weakness.
And yet, it is quite likely that this
man has often deplored the ignor-
ance of westerners. Probably he be-
lieves, with a lot of others, that all
those who reside on the other side
of the Alleghenies are hopelessIy I'M
learned creatures. This, in spite of
the fact that not long since a New
Yorker inquired whether one did not
have to cross the Great Desert to
get from there to F't. Worth, Texas.
Really, when it comes to province
alism, the easterner-the dyed-in-the-
wool, first family, old homestead born
easterner-has got anything in the
world skinned. He simply can't
grasp the fact that there is any,
thing worth knowing about in the
rest of the country.
AS matter of fact, the average
educated westerner would be embar-
raised to think he was not familiar
with the cities, the life and the prog
ress of the East. He keeps up with
things there either through. visits
or reading. He can name all the
capitals of the New England States.
He knows something about their
manufacturing industries, their So
cial customs, their political affairs,
their literature, their souls"
He realizes the difference that sep
arates him in some strange way from
his eastern neighbor, but he still
strives to surmount it. He sends his
children to eastern schools so that
they may acquire knowledge of con-
ditions all over the land and I'M
derstand the minds of those who live
alongside of them. He goes to New
York to see the best plays, If he has
the money. He keeps up with east
ern achievement of all sorts. He
broadens his mind.
But the thoroughly provincial resi-
dent of one of the thirteen original
colonies and territory contiguous,
still sits blindly where circumstance
has placed him, perfectly content
with his scope and understanding
less of the vastness and wonder of
his country than his distinguished
forefathers knew. His ignorance is
colossal, yet cherished. And he con-
tinues to think himself cultured.

The
WOMAN'S
DAY
by Allene Sumner

Can she make a cherry pie, Billy
Boy?" The song about Billy and
his sweetie, and the inquiry as to
her pie-making abilities is old. But
the issue involved remains an issue
today as much as in the days ago
Billy's mother did not ask if his girl
could sing or dance or argue a law
case or design dresses or write books,
but could she make a pie? If she
could, we'll and good! Billy had a
swell wife-to-be.
1t is almost impossible to pick up
a magazine or paper today without
seeing picture of some noted
woman, a singer or painter or piano
player or novelist or judge, posed at
the kitchen stove, an apron about
her, busily stirring a mess in a sauce
pan and looking as if she were all
wrapped up in her work.
Then follows story to the effect
that the lady in question can sing.

she can make! Or she wrote the
worlds best novel last year, but in
her heart she is just a home-loving
little body, who would rather wash
dirty windows than write all the
books in the world.
PUBLIC WANTS COOKS
Clever press agents, you see, are
giving the public what it wants. "
They know that even in this sup

insists that the one and only type
of woman is the little housebody."
She may do important things out
side the home, but they can be toll
Grated only if she redeems herself
by being Il true woman in spite of
and not because of her big job, but
because she maintains at least "a
part time interest" in the skillet and

-Heink, who is sincerely and
honestly a domestic woman, and who
probably really does enjoy her
kitchen as much as the concert stage.
But why in the world an intelligent
and gifted and producing woman
who can sing divinely or write books
that will live, must HE herself into a
kitchen and pose by a cook stove be-
fore the world will hand her any
thing at all, is past all understand

THE HONEST ONES
For one million women who can
bake pork and beans and scrub a
kitchen floor, there may be just one

She was answered by G. K. Ches-

If they went into outside activities

LONDON, Jan. 28.-The nagging
of husbands "as they ought to be
nagged," an improvement apparent
in the twentieth century, has been
made possible through birth control
and the separation of women from
the kitchen, thinks George Bernard
Shaw.
Presiding at debate on whether
the modern woman of leisure is a
menace to civilization, England's
premier dramatist was inclined to
favor the negative.
when I was young women had
children, houses and servants to
look after" he said. "They even
lacked the time to nag their hus-
bands as they ought to be nagged.
Now we have got rid Of children
through birth control, houses and
servants through flats with restau-
rants attached. Today the modern
woman is able to spend her time
