Nothing surprises or erlrageS
the average wife more than to
tell her that it's up to her to
earn her keep. like any other
worker. For all women believe
that they confer the greatest
possible favor upon a man when
they marry him and regard any
subsequent chores as additional
condescension.
Nor can you blame them for
this attitude. They've been
trained into it since birth. To
begin with, their parents treated
them like prize packages and
gave them special concessions
and exemptions which were de-
MED to their little brothers.
Then the movies and maya
zines took up the easy task Of
convincing them that they were
Gods Greatest Gift To Human
ity. Lastly, devoted lovers
vowed themselves blue in the
face and hooked their watches
to prove the same point. No
. wonder that the Dear Girl,
when she married, felt that she
was doing plenty for the Big
Boy.
Then the honeymoon waned
and the new husband begins to
complain because vest buttons
are missing and meals aren't
on time. Naturally the bride is
amazed and indignant.
How dare he!" she cries.
what does he think I ana
servant?"
She is not a servant nor does
her husband consider her as
such. But she is a human be-
ing with the same moral obliga-
ton to earn her living which
rests upon all other human be-
ings and which has not been
diminished nor altered by the
fact that she has married.
Marriage Is one way Of earn
ing a living. It is also other
things - rare and beautiful
things-but fundamentally it is
a working partnership in which
favors and obligations are
equally divided. A woman does
a man no greater favor when
she marries him than he does
her.
She wanted to marry him as
much as he wanted to marry
her or she wouldn't have done
so. She gives no greater gift
she makes no greater sacrifice.
Nor does she place him under
personal obligation when she
performs her houSework.
Shed have to perform some
kind of work, if she's self.re-
specting citizen.
HouSework is the business
which she has elected to follow.
It is a hard business, at times.
1t has periods Of strain and
anxiety. It also has periods Of
leisure and responsibility. On
the whole, as a means of earn.
ing ones living, it is no better,
no worse, than any other Job.
And It Is . wife's duty to bs

The New Dirigible
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID
Famous Scientific Authority

Many people still regard with
n1istrust the lighter-than-air
machine. Some even go so
far as to speak lightly, of the
dirigible, as the most expensive
of toys.
During the World War, the
Zeppelin raids over England
created a horror there which
did not find expression in the
press, greatly hardening the
British in their resolution to
defeat Germany. But when all
was said and done, estimates
showed that the damage done
was not at all in proportion to
the magnitude Of the menace.
Several zeppelinS were shot
down by anti-aircraft guns; and
the tangled mass Of burning
wreckage showed the helpless
ness of one Of these huge mon.
sterS, once a vulnerable spot
was found.
Since the war, there has been
surprisingly little dirigible con-
struction. It is probable that
the dangers Of this type Of air.
craft, as well as the essentials
of its construction, are as yet
only imperfectly understood.
The mystery of the horrible
disaster of the R-101 only tends
to deepen this feeling. AS COM
pared with the monumental
achievements Of the airplane
and the almost countless num-
Der Of successful flights, The
record Of the dirigible, with a
comparatively few flights of
imposing success. can scarcely
be termed impressive. The DO
tentialitieS of the airShip are
not yet clearly defined. Much
Is yet to be learned about both
their construction and guidance.
It is to be expected that
the new lighter-than-air craft,
notably the ZRS, in process Of
construction for this Govern
rnent, will surpaSs in funda-
mental respects the Graf Yep
pelin and the R-100 and R-1O1.
Many factors are being kept
In mind in the construction of
dirigibleS Of the new type. In
the effort to ensure greater
; safety, both speed and buoy
ancy may undergo slight reduC.

Calls upon the A. T.. =.
To Handle Job Problem

Az &&@uWA0 WV @AV0ASM
Editor Times:
I have been reading your
column for a long time. At this
time of so much unemployment
and of the discharge Of women
whose husbands are capable OF
taking care Of them.
Why stop at that? There are
whole families working for the
Government, some with six and
seven in the family; some
cases each Of whom sport an
expensive car. It seems to me
that the Association of Federal
Employees would take that up.
There are a good number of
men who are rated as tenn
porary employees and draw
about twice as much as the
permanent men who work with
them at the same work.
That's another little thing
that the A. F. E. should take
UP. There are men working
for the Government who are
over the age limit, who have
incomes of $2,5O0 on property,
drawing 500 a month pensions,
and drawing from $500 to
$2,500 in salary while their fel-
low men and women are hun
cry.

Says Wives Should Get Out
Of Government Service

Of Government Service
Editor, The Times.
Speaking of American vet
erans of the world war replacing
married women in Government
service whose husbands are
drawing a salary of more than
$500 a year, there seems to
be more husbands Squawking
about this deduction of their
yearly income than wives.
Some of our boys may never
have crossed the pond and are
now clasSe as Campfire
squawkers" and being selfish.
Personally, I would rather be a
campfire Squawker" than a
"fire-side squawker." taking
from those who are really in
need.
There are men who are just
as efficient as the wives Of
these husbands whose salaries,
in some instances, cover more
than the necessities Of life. It
is only fair that these salaries
be equally distributed among
others and not all in one FAM
lily.
Hats off to those advocating
the dismissal of these wives.
Give others a chance.

DROUGHT HEALTH
WARNING IS ISSUED
PelIagra Spread Declared to
Threaten Rural
Sections.

The water shortage and the lack Of
vegetation, caused by the recent drought
and excessive heat, are q danger to
the public health all through the coun-
try, the United States Public Health
Service has warned In urging residents,
particularly those in the rural sections,
to take extra precautions to prevent
the spread of communicable diseases.
! Rural Sections Chiefly Endangered.
The worse danger is In the rural
sections, where there are now water
supplies, modern convenienceS, and no
surplus of green vegetation. The area
particularly hard hit, among others,
the Public Health Service said, is that
section Of the country which only a
few years ago was almost devastated
from floods, and not having suficiently
recovered from the effects, Is threat
ened with a spread Of pellagra.
This pellagra, which is directly
most extensive in the rural sections
where food is scarce. Since about IS
per cent of the rural districts of the
country lack adequate public health SUI
pervision, 1t was said, this problem is
serious to the whole Nation.
The Public Health Service cited an
increase in typhoid fever cases reported
from all parts Of the country in the
past few weeks. A large part of this,
it was said, can be traced directly to
conditions resulting from the drought.
With a shortage of water in many Sec
tions, conditions have become more in
sanitary.
Well Warning Issued.
Warning was given with regard TO
wells which have dried UP and forced
persons dependent upon them to look
elsewhere for their water supply. In
such cases. officials urged, every precau-
ton should be taken to guard against
unhealthy water, and, If necessary, all
drinking water about which there is any
uncertainty should be boiled before
being used.
Lack of water and vegetation also
has had its effect upon milk; resulting
chiefly in decreased production, which
has been felt more in districts where
the drought was severe. The whole
problem is serious, the Public Health
Service believes, and requires the help
and vigilance Of every one.

FILE AMENDMENTS
TO GAS RATE CUT
Public Utilities Commission
to Discuss Amended Pro-
posaI Wednesday.

The washington Gas Light Co. yes
terday fled with the Public Utilities
Commission two amendments of It's pro-
posed rate reduction schedule, to cor
rect errors which had escaped unnoticed
in the first draft.
The frst amendment deals with do
nestle consumers. The domestic rate
first filed was stated to be for consun1-
ers having a use of not to exceed 200
cubic feet per hour, but no arrange
ment was made for any domestic con-
sumner using more than this, unless he
was using 1t for house heating. The
amendment strikes out the 200-cubic-
feet requirement, and makes the domes-
tic rates apply to all domestic con-
Sumers, regardless of how much they
use per hour. unless they heat their
homes with gas.
The second amendment deals with
large commercial consumption. In the
schedule as filed, 1t was found by COM
putation that under certain circum-
stances consumers using more than
500, 900 cubic feet of gas per month
might be called upon to pay more under
the new schedule than they do for sim
liar amounts at present. This was cured
by introducing a new rate of rs cents
per 1000 cubic feet after the first $780,
600 cubic feet of consumption, instead
of the IS cent rate in the schedule
first 1lled.
The amended schedule will be dis
cussed before the Public Utilities Com
mission In an open hearing next We'd
nesday.

NO DANGER HERE
FROM HURRICANE
Storm Sweeping Seaboard Expected
to Spend Force at
Sea.

There is no danger OF the West In
dian hurricane now sweeping up the
Atlantic seaboard striking Washington,
Weather Bureau officials announced to-
day.
The forecasters added that should
the storm continue in its present course
1t probably would spend its force at
sea. This would mean that the dis
turbance would fail to touch any cities
along the Atlantic coast. The hurricane
passed out to sea last night after buff
feting the North Carolina coast and
demolishing about dozen buildings
An advisory bulletin issued by the
Weather Bureau today read:
Disturbance central about ITS miles
east Of the Virginia Capes, moving
northeastward, and will cross the steam
err lane considerable distance south
east of Nantucket tonight. The dis
turbance still is small in diameter, but
is attended by high winds Of hurricane
force near the center"
Meanwhile, the showers Of yesterday
afternoon having abated, normal Fall
weather was experienced here today.
Although rain fell for short time In
the downtown section yesterday, the
most heavy showers were recorded in
Burleith, Georgetown, Chevy Chase and
nearby Virginia.
The forecast for today Is:
Mostly cloudy, with showers tonight
and Sunday; little change in tempera-
ture."

golf courses to operate until am. each
day instead Of being compelled to close

attending moving picture or theater

During the conference the question Of

SET FOR SEPT. 2OBY
us. JUDGE GRONER
Both Sides to Be Allowed to
Introduce Witnesses in
Baker Case.
DEFENSE is CONFIDENT
OF BLOCKING REMOVAL
Court at Alexandria Will Deter
mine Bringing Realty Man
Here for Trial.

Federal Judge D. Lawrence Groner
Of Norfolk today set Saturday, septem-
Der 90, for q hearing he will conduct
in Alexandria to decide whether Her
bert M. Campbell shaA be removed to
washington in the staying Of Mary
Baker.
Judge Groner selected the date after
o conference with Mai. Paul w. Kear,
United States attorney in Norfolk. The
arrangement was said to be satisfactory
to Charles Henry Smith of Alexandria,
counsel for the Virginia Highlands real
estate dealer.
Declaring he would preside over the
hearing in person In an effort to settle
once and for all whether Campbell
be brought here from the Alexandria
City Jail, Judge Groner reiterated he
would permit attorneys for both the
prosecution and defense to call as many
witnesses as they desired.
Changed From Norfolk.
It had originally been intended TO
conduct the new hearing in Federal
Court in Norfolk. The decision to use
Nae Alexandria Corporation Court room
instead was reached after Smith pointed
out It would be difdcult to have his
witnesses travel all the way to Norfolk.
II am delighted" Smith said when
an&ormed Of the date chosen. ST will
A&Ra eight or nine witnesses on hand
20 prove my client could not possibly
have committed the crime and 1t still
looks like we win be able to block his
removal"
The case was carried to Judge Groner
by Smith several weeks ago after j..
Barton Phillips, q United States COM
missioner, ruled at the conclusion Of q
stormy hearing that Campbell should be
removed to Washington. Phillips denied
Campbell the privilege of placing de-
tense witnesses on the stand. He held
the Government had made out prina
1acie case.
Indicted by U. S. Jury.
Campbell has been the central flg-
ure in the case since his arrest more
than two months ago. His indictment
by q District grand jury came as the
elimination of an investigation directed
by William II. Collins, an assistant
United States attorney.
The Governments case has been built
around reports of noted ballistic ex-
perts that the bullets which killed Miss
Baker were fired from pistol volun-
tarily turned over to the authorities by
Campbell.
