CAN OPENERS NO REMEDY
WOMEN WILL STILL WORK

Women's work will never be done,
So claimed Hildegard Kneeland from
the bureau of Home Economics, of the
Department of Agriculture, when she
spoke recently before University OF
Washington home economics classes
when she stopped on the campus
while on her official tour of leading
colleges of the country.
Washington's home economics der
partment surprised Miss Kneeland by
its applicability to varied needs of
many students rather than to students
in that department alone, she said
after visiting such college departments
all over the United States.
While modern devices aid women, in
reality the lady of the house is never
done, she said, and Miss Kneeland
brought out statistics to show that
one third of the homemakers in the
United States work longer than an
eight-hour day, and that but one sixth
work a shorter time.

Federal Old Age
Pension Proposed
A Bill introduced by Senator Dill Calls
For Government Aid to the States
Adopting Pension System

The national demand for better con-
ditions of life for all our people makes
it imperative that the federal govern
ment encourage and assist the states
in providing systems of pensions to
those citizens past the age of 60 years,
who are in need of the common COM
forts of life
The poorhouse as an institution
should be relegated to the past. Those
who are in dire need should be made
comfortable among their friends and
relatives when they are old that they
may spend their declining years as
members of the communities in which
they have been active members.
Experience proves that in those
states where the old age pension
system is in operation the cost is no
greater per capita than under the
poorhouse plan and the results are
incomparably more satisfactory both
to those who receive the old age as
sistance and to their relatives and
friends.
This bill proposes an appropriation
of only s1o0ooooC annually, but I'M
doubtedly much larger sum will be
needed to give full assistance when all
the states provide systems Of old age
pensions.
This bill sets up the legislative and
administrative machinery for estab-
fishing the plan OF cooperation. At a
later date, system of raising revenue
to maintain it and also plan Of
government participation in some form
of old age retirement should be provid-
ed

and which operates most largely

Neither should motorist run up
and park in front OF street car,
thus preventing the street car from
standing opposite its safety isles.
Most cities now allow cars to pass
on both sides of the safety isles
but this does not mean that the
motorist can misuse the privilege.

The Green Lines, street car
company in New York, has for
several years carried series of
traffic hints pasted on the windows

Pedestrians who are boarding street
cars and who have to stand in the
safety isles are at the mercy of the
mud-thrower. When moving vehicle
goes past human beings at speed in
rainy weather he automatically
splashes little. But with the exercise
of a small amount Of care the
catastrophe accruing from splashing
can be avoided. When the motorist
runs past curb where the water is
standing, he should slow up so as not
to splash the pedestrian standing on
the pavement.
When he turns corner he should
only be going miles an hour. To
proceed at greater speed is usually
against the law, is unsafe and is
apt to cover passers-by with greasy
mud.
Every motorist at some time or
ether is perforce a pedestrian. Re-
member the golden rule and try not
to cause unnecessary misfortune.
A secondary consideration of course
is the fact that mud puddle hit at
speed splashes the car, and sometimes
the car owner as well as those stand

on the highway, this precaution ceases
to become Of secondary consideration

Many Gorgeous Displays of
Towering Trees Are Avail

Beautiful displays Of Towering dog
wood and redbud are available not only
in some of the public parks here In
Washington and nearby vicinity, where
q campaign for its preservation and
propagation is under way, but in Sec
tons of Virginia and Pennsylvania
within day or two motor trip of the
National Capital, according to P. L.
Kicker, president of the Wldflower
Preservation Society.
Here in the National Capital some
OF the finest displays are in Rock Greek
Park, on what is known as Ross Drive,
where few years ago there were plant
ed number of trees along the road
side. Many of the older Srees this year
are bearing profuSely, and some of the
smaller trees, Mr.. Kicker reports. are

DogwoOd in Park.

both pink and white dogwood in little

Paul Jones Monument by the Tidal
Basin, to the Lincoln Memorial. This
road passes by new cage where several

display Of dogwood this year. The best

Warrenton, until one reaches a sign
saying Half Way" Just beyond this
sign is a bridge, and near the bridge is
a rough road leading up to Bull Run
Mountain about half a mile. 1t is ac-
cessible, but so rough, Mr.. Kicker says,
that 1t is more pleasant to walk.
Bull Run Battlefield, which is on the
road from Fairfax to Warrenton, also
has both dogwood and redbud trees, Mr.
Kicker says.
Gorgeous Near Valley Forge.
Perhaps the most gorgeous display of
these Towering trees anywhere in this
part OF the country, however, Mr.. Kicker
says, is near Valley Forge, Pa. There is
a road near Valley Forge. he says, which
Is lined on both sides with dogwood trees
for miles.
While these displays are beautiful at
a distance from Washington, and ma
ture lovers are invited to journey to see
them, Mr.. Kicker called attention again
today to the necessity of preserving the
beauties of the countryside from
despoilation.
The dogwood especially needs pro-
lection from vandal hands, he says,
because 1t was rapidly being killed out
In the vicinity of the National Capital
by motorists, who stripped the trees.
Response to the campaign for dog
wood preservation over several years.
Mr.. Kicker says, has resulted in more
widespread results this season than ever
before, and he believes the idea of pres
ervation is being thoroughly indoctri-
mated into the hearts of an increasing
number of nature lovers.
