Women AS Family Supports

Between the desire of women to dabble in mems work
and the d~isSipating morale of men, who used to be re-
earded ~reigiously as the providers, women in increasing
numbers are being called on to support families. 1t Is an
indefensible change for the worse. 1t reminds one Of tho
oL Indian system. under which the men loafcd and
hunted and fought. while the squaws performed the
hard labor OF the maize patches, the tobacco growing
and the rearing Of the young.
or course women who work these days and support
families do not perform the work Of slaves. For the most
part they merely take undcniable talents into the mart
or perform clerical and sccrctarial work. Nevertheless
a lot Of them work hard.
The big regret OF it all, however, is the passing Of
chivalry in that modern form in which the man was the
provder, the woman the keeper OF the home and the
ideals.
A recent bulletin of the United States Women's bu-
rcau tells some facts about the economic change which
has been reversing the roles of the sexes in the matter
Of earning the family living.
Out of 10000 families investigated. for instance, q per
cent were supported entirely by the wages of their
women members.
1900 unmarried women studied, one in five was
supporting a family unaided
An enormous proportion of city families is depending
wholly or in part on the money earned by wives and
daughters. In certain industries which employ women.
C5per- cent of the women workers are married.
Evidently the woman who marries for economic security
stands a fair chance of getting badly stung. Instead of
being freed from the necessity Of supporting herself. she
rnay have to pitch in and help support, not only her.
self but her husband as well.
It would seem that there are several things back of
this recent influx Of women into tie realm Of Jobs. II

Not Ideal. But Modern. Home

A recent building convention In Copenhagen displayed
a conglomeration Of ingenious devices that bore the col
lcctive label, The Ideal home"
There was an automatic rubber door mat, to begin with
that brushed the mud off Of the shoes OF any man who
stepped on it.
The dining room table had a glass top. to make table
cloths unnecessary. Doors and windows could be opened
and closed. with no effort. simply by pressing buttons. A
pneumatic tube was installed to wlisk letters away to the
~postofficc.
The WHOLE house fairly bristled with things of this
kind. The press dispatches did not say whether or no!
there was an automatic gadget to put the cat out for
the night, but apparently every other household chors
was taken care Of.
We seem to have made up our minds definitely that
The machine is to be our salvation. in little things as
we'll as big things. Yet why should that word Ideal
be tackled on t. a proposition of this kind? Is the
process of making a home as simple as that. then? Did
domestic happiness wait, through all the ages. for the
invention of the electric egg-beater?
1t is obvious. of course, that this label. Ideal" is only
q bit Of sales talk. not meant to be taken seriously. But
some people will take it seriously. just the same. The
luxuries Of a former day are the necessities of the present.
Tcday's family is not contcnted if it lacks an auto; to-
morrows bride may flounce home to mother II her hus-
band fails to provide an automatic window-opener and

lies in the way that word ideal" is used. 1t connotes a
change in our attitude: a change whereby we elevate in
cidentals; meant to iron out the minor rough places III
lfes pathway. into items Of major Importance. ends in
themselves, things greater than the spirit that lies be-
hind them.
Making a home-an Ideal home" If you please-is at
once the simplest and the most complex task any man
faces. The statistics Of any divorce court will prove that
a great, many people make . hopeless hotch Of 1t. and
the half scandalous activities Of any quck-stepping coun-
try club married set will indicate that many more people
don't meet with the success they once expected.
Yet the Job is not so stupendous. A few simple, old
fashioned words. such as love. tact, kindness and fore
bearance, sum up the essentials.
Plainly, the man and woman who tackle this job don't
really need the help of the manufacturer and the in
ventor. If they are not, in their own hearts, up to the
task, the factories can't help them.

Reversing an Old Theory

Our courts Of law, in the machinery they have set up
for the trial of accused persons, operate on the old, es-
tablished theory that it is better that two guilty men
should escape than that one innocent man should be con-
victed. Extensive safeguards. accordingly, are thrown
about every man who is tried for any crime.
It might be a good thing If we could tip off our liquor
patrols to this old theory. If It applies to the trial Of sus-
pected criminals, it ought to apply to the catching of
them, also. And letting fly with a machine gun on the
mere suspicion that a man q hundred yards away is a
law breaker hardly seems like the best possible way Of
putting it into effect.

THE TREATMENT FOR vARICOsE
VEINS ANIL ULCERS

vayicoSe veins occur more often
after middle life and more 0Sten to
women than to. men. The veins OF
the lower leg are most. often affected
becoming enlarged, numb. or pain
full. and of q purplish- blue in color
so that 1t is easy to see them vending
their ~tortuous way just beneath the
skin. In. the beginning, there Is q
sense of weight without pain, due to
the weight Of the blood which the
valves in the veins are not holding
back properly.
People who stand at their work
are most often victims OF this dis
ease. It Is interesting that man Is
about the only animal who suffers
from this trouble, probably because
since he stands upright. there Is a
great pressure Of blood upon the
veins Of the legs.
varicose veins, unless carefully
treated, tend to become worse as the
vein becomes widened and its valves
stretched, allowing the blood to throw
extra weight upon the next valve be-
low. Ulcers may also form II the dis
ease exists for q long time.
The usual causes Of varicose veins
are prolapsed abdominal organs,
pressure Of feces, or tight garments
such rs garters Or belts. Many pa
tients suffering from this disorder are
advised to have the veins s~urgically
removed or rendered fibrous by the
injection treatment, or the patient
may be advised to wear a rubber
stocking. I believe that q more sat-
isfactory cure depends upon q general
health-building regime to improve
the blood so that the veins. will have
a proper nourishment for develop
ment Of strong walls. It is also neces-
sary to correct any prolapsus or a
tumor Of the abdominal organs which
may be pressing on the veins. Local
treatments should also be given If
one wishes to reduce the enlarged
veins to q normal size. Certain kinds
Of electrical apparatus which can only
be used by a physician are extremely
valuable for this. You can benefit
yourself, however, by taking certain
exercises for improving the circula-
ton. A good exercise is taken while

France After Guarantees

France is thinking of nava! parity in terms of building
lip its fleets and obtaining more guarantees. while Bril-
tain. and America are thinking of the same subject in
terms of limiting or decreasing their sea ornaments.
That is why, in the pre-confercncc period OH naval
limitation, France seems SO at odds with the purposes OF
the fivc-powcr conference President Hoover and Premier
Ramsay Macdonald have called to meet at London.
January 20.
France. in fact, is described as not thinking in terms
OF peace as are the Anglo-Saxon powers. 1t is thinking
in terms Of preparations for war as preparedness means
to assure peace. The Gaul has not shaken Off all sus-
picion Of Germany. He has heard the voice Of Mussolini
procls:ming the destiny of Italy to war in the not distan.
future. Neither reaction has been in the direction of
that fine idealism which has inspired Hoover and Mac
Donald.
A Paris correspondent of American papers says that
to guage the French position accurately, it should be
recognized that France now is in the grip Of naval ma
tionalism. On her feet economically and financially for
the first time since the war, France wants to improve
Ter naval position. She intends to get back where she
was before the war, when she had a fleet OF 100000 tons
which. incidentally, equaled the American fleet. The
French government takes the attitude that a fleet Of
$4,000 tons is necessary to give France naval security so
long as she must depend on her own forces exclusively.
AS was suggested in the French memorandum. Paris
IS ready to consider any measures toward what she
regards as real security. The term Mediterranean
Locarno' is somewhat inaccurately applied to what the
French have in mind. Rather they wish a regional agree
mept ~on- the League of Nations model, by which the
participants pledge to help each other against possible
aggression.
Knowing that America will not join in a Meditcr-
ranean agreement, the French argue that that does ncs
prevent Great Britain, France, Italy. and Spain from
making such a treaty. Not only would such an arrange
nAent permit France to feel safe in cutting her Mediter-
renean fleet. it is c%ontended. but Britain. which main
'tahns 100000 tons Of warohips in the Mediterranean, as
against 10000 tons before the war under the entente
:cordialc arrangement, couid cut her fleet there.
But. so far as the United States is concerned, greater
interest attaches to the French desire to reinforce the
Kellogg pact. The French will most certainly endeavor
'to4azTe the Suited States declare that in case of violation
Of the anti-war pact America will not send supplies or
otherwise aid the aggressor, however the aggressor may
b. determined. This undoubtedly would mean an effort
to bring up the issue of freedom of the seas.

Question: Miss M. M. 8. asks:
"What causes red StreakS in ones
cyeballs and what can be done, If
anything, to make then clear again."
Answer: A common cause of rcd
streaks in the eyeball3 is from eye
strain caused from reading too much
or staying up too late nights in the
bright lights. There. are other causes
from various toxemias due to consti-
patton and sluggfshness of the clim-

| cxtremities. Gentle massage while
the legs are elevated Is also benefit
cial. The strokes should be made
! from the extremities toward the
heart. After the veins have been
! treated in this manner. you can ben
| eft yourself by the application of q
lump Of ice to the enlarged veins.
This should be done several times
daily. The ice may be held against
the vein with a towel so that your
hand will not become too could. but
the smooth part of the ice should be
placed directly against the swollen
vein while the leg is in the air so the
blood has an opportunity to drain out
of the vein.
After three or four months of this
treatment, the vein will usually be-
come strengthened and contracted by
this ice treatment. During the cold
weather q substitute for the ice can
be had by sitting in the bathtub and
elevsting the leg and allowing the
cold water to run over the part where
the enlarged veins are located. The
ice treatment. however, produces the
best results.
When varic6se ulcers have de-
veloped, there is at first only a dis

cases blood and pus are ALSO exuded.
The best treatment for varicose ulcers
can be administered by a doctor who
uses the actinic light. Often or
two applications Of this will cause a
healing of the ulcer.
