Married Women Who
Work Discussed

Editor, The Times:
May I take this opportunity
to congratulate Mrs. Sidney
Wiseman on her common sense
and good Judgment regarding
Married Women Should No.
Work"
The unemployment is due to
the injustice Of some having
it all while others have noth-
ing. Why should women whose
husbands are making good sal
aries be allowed to hold down
jobs while men with families
walk the streets seeking. work
of any kind. Single girls and
fellows anxious to earn an hon
est living, but to no avail, and
as the result become dis
couraged with life having no
regard for anything.
These women are worse than
criminal offenders, who spend
their salary for the 1uxuries Of
life, fine clothes, ETC.. while
many are homeless and hungry,
and thousands jobleSS, So why
doesn't the Government get
wise to itself and give the
! down-and-outer q good break,
and the same goes for business
concerns. In some cases it Is
necessary for the wife to work
to help support the family but
that's only one-tenth, the othe-
nine-tenths are grabbing it ell.
Why not correct this condi-
ton, with no partiality shown
whatsoever? Until the Govern
ment takes a hand the present
situation Of unemployment will
remain, IRENE NELSON.

ONCE-OVERS
YOur Husbands Friends

Mrs. Married Woman. you
make q mistake when you are
not cordial to your husbands
business friends when they
come to your home with him.
You may not like your huS-
bands guests but he likes them
and viii continue to mingle
with them irrespective Of what
you think Of them.
Not that your husband does
not want to respect your per
Sonal likes and dislikes but he
cannot be fuSSy in choosing his
business friends.
Business is business and brings
social obligations as well.
If your husband cannot en-
tertain these men in his own
home he will go elsewhere to
extend the glad hand to them.
Another thing, he as every
man, likes to feel that mis- wife
will be courteous to his friends.
He wants them to think well
Of her and believes he used good
judgment when he persuaded
her to captain his matrimonial
craft.
His pride is hurt when his
wife shows displeasure in the
presence Of his friends.
Many martial disturbances
are caused by the ungracious
conduct of a woman toward her
husbands men companions.
Not many men will forsake
their old crowd altogether to
please even their wives.

Three.quarters of the average
woman's love for a man is
mother-love-or the love OF
mothering.
The fond parent, who at
tempts to get chummy with
"the young folks" and join
them in their pastimeS, these
days, is apt to find himself
about as popular as a horse
shoe In garage.
The modern man appears to
regard every woman married
or single, as "nobody'S darling"
-yearning for a little affection.
IF she can't be kissed, he
thinks she ought to be psyche

perienceS.
True, there are apparent Inconsistencies.
There Is butter for breakfast but none for
lunch or dinner. 1t is assumed that at noon
one automatically loses all fondness for but
ter on ones bread, and lone vegetables have
a way Of appearing unexpectedly as separate
courses. String beans for example, will arrive
in solitary state long after the piece de re-
sistance has gone the way of all flesh and
creamed caulifower is regarded as sufficient
unto itself. 1t is as if a symphony orchestra
should stop suddenly in midmeasure to allow
the second piccolo to play Yankee Doodle"
But by and large, French cooking is some

cooking also, though not SO wistfully. Its ap-

but under his belt is the same stomach ne

sentful toward innovations.
English food without doubt is the greatest
shock to an American digestion We think
of the English people being more like our
selves than any other nationality, and it is
natural to assume that they eat much the same
sort of food that we do.
But they don't. For instance, they have
fish for breakfast-hsh that has been slightly
damaged by fire and water. An American
stomach that is called upon to deal with a
bloater or whiting at o'clock in the morning
is bound to feel bewildered. About the only
thing by which it can identify the meal as
breakfast is the toast, which has been made
the night before and allowed to harden. This
toast is interesting from an archaeological stand
point, but that is all that can be said for it.
BREAKFAST is a particularly melancholy
meal in England because there is nothing
to lubricate it except tea, coffee and fog. The
days serious drinking does not begin until
noon, and then it is time to think about lunch.
But the less thought about lunch the better,
for it will probably include kidneys, tripe and
other items of interior decoration which make
the bill of fare look like the index of the
Veterinarians Handbook.
Before going to England you may think that
you won't succumb to the afternoon tea habit.
But you viii, even though you come from the
Middle West where tea parties are attended
only by women and clergymen-for there is
seven-hour interval between lunch and dinner,

unexpected charms.

Charles Dickens, more than any one else is
responsible for the disappointment which Amer

ing for the first time. His breathlesSly en-

During the Channel crossing this is partic-

for those dreaded coughs that follow
severe cold epidemics-
From any druggist, get 212 ounces OF
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and MI

membranes with surprising ease, but
also il is absorbed into the blood, and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing of the cough. 1t loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness

FRANCE VIEWED
KEY IN SUCCESS
OF SEA FARLEY
Three Power Agreement
Seems Inevitable at
Present Time.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINTMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

LONDON Feb. 10.-With the
United States and Great Britain in
accord on fundamental issues, and
Japan in mood to compromise on
such outstanding differences as still
persist, the London naval parley
now is on the verge of actual results.
Hot on the heels of Secretary
StimSons memorandum describing
Americas position, Premier Mac
Donald made public Great Britain's
stand.
Certainly. so far as Great Britain,
America and Japan are concerned,
an agreement seems assured. Ger
tainly there will be parity between
the British and American fleets. AL
most certainly America will scrap
three battleships within the next
three months, Britain five and Ja-
pan one.
Size and Caliber
There will be another naval con-
ference in 1885 and then, doubtless.
If battleshipS are not abolished, they
will be materially reduced in size
and in caliber of guns.
For the present, the question is,
what will France do here and now?
While it may be safely predicted
that no matter what happens now,
three-power understanding vir-
tually is assured, the problem is
how can 1t be made into a five-pow-
er agreement which everybody here
is heroically struggling to achieve.
France is still the key to this riddle.
Obviously, if France remains out
side of an agreement, and insists
on a big navy, Italy would find 1t
difficult not to follow suit. Britain
must gauge fer naval requirements
somewhat according to the Franco
Italian strength, and America must
have regard to the strength Of
Britain and Japan.
Security Vital
Frances main argument Is that
security in Europe makes 1t vital
that she maintain her communica-
lions across the Mediterranean SO
that in event of war, she could
bring additional man-power from
her African empire, which Is larger
than the United States. Manifest
ly, if way can be found to in
crease her sense of security both at
home and in the Mediterranean
area sufficiently, she could af-
ford to reduce her naval establish
ment to a minimum.
AS French public opinion feels
deeply on this question, Premier
Tardieu would hardly dare return
to Paris without some sort of guar
antee for reducing tonnage here.

Robbery Epidemic
At RaymondyiIle

RAYMONDVILLE, July l5.-The
citizens OF Raymondville are suf-
fering from an epidemic of rob-
berries and holdups caused by the
influx Of cotton pickers who have
come in within the past few weeks
and who have found that the cot
ton IS not ready for picking. They
have been forced to live on practic-
ally nothing. and naturally some
have resorted to robbery to secure
the necessities. So far the serious
trouble has only been the theft OF
necessities. Three robberies had
been reported over Sunday.
The residence of B. W. Crowell,
who lives on the edge of Raymond
vile was entered some time Sun
day. and the only thing missing was
several loaves Of bread and canned
goods on the shelf and some vege-
tables out Of the ice box.
Harry Douthitt lost a suit Of
clothes out Of his car which was
parked on South Fifth street, Just
off OF the main business street. and
the residence Of w. +. Baker. lyno-
typist for the Willacy County News.
who lives in Spanish acres, east Of
Raymondville, was entered and all
of the clothing except that which
he IA wearing were taken. He
missed nothing else.
