Views Of Times Readers

Editor Times+AS one of The
Times readers states, there are two
sides to the question of whether
married women should work and
thus deprive single girls of a chance
to make an honest living. There
are two sides, but which follows the
principles set forth in the Golden
Rule?
Hundreds Of childless married
women are working, not because
they must, but because they want
to. They are not content with the
seeming monotony of homemaking.
Yet single girls must postpone mar
riage indefinitely because of lack of
money to start housekeeping, and no
means of helping to make the
money. They must wait, smother
ing youths love, to keep childless
married women in luxuries.
And as for married women who
are mothers leaving their homes and
little ones behind each morning to
join the work-a-day world, there is
nothing more disastrous to morals,
society and the American home.
While the mother thinks she is do
ing her best in helping to feed and
clothe little bodies, mentally and
physically her children are being
neglected.
The things that children can get
only through mothers constant
care and teaching, these little ones,
whose mother leaves them every
morning, are missing. Better a few
patched dresses and trousers, which
will be forgotten in a few years,
than patched and warped ideas Of
life, picked up on the street through
improper associates.
These may ruin utterly the child's
future. Wrong ideals are filling our
reformatories and prisons. Instead
of providing for their education, the
fundamentals Of life, the basis Of
education, are being left out en-
tirely.
And what man wouldn't rather do
without some Of the material things
if it meant finding his wife, instead
Of cherries rooms, when he re-
turned from his Say's work.
A mothers place is at home. She
alone can adequately guide her chill
drens lives toward fruitful living
and good citizenship.

Sanity Doubted

WEARS were to pass before lab
Il oratory work-now the normal
adjunct of every high school as we'll
as college course in chemistry--was
considered normal part Of the
work in chemistry.
"And even then in some Of the
colleges at least" says DR.. McPher-
son, "the students electing labora-
tory work were regarded with sus-
picion as to their sanity.
"They we're thought by some Of
the classicists to be allied with the
alchemists Of old, who sought in
secret places to transform the baser
metals into gold, or to discover that
mystic something that would bring
perpetual youth to its fortunate
posSessor.
Gradually the science won its
way, even thought there were few
students and the library and labora-
tory facilities were very meager."
AS a sample of the change in con-
ditions, DR.. Mcpherson calls atten-
ton to the reports of a professor
of chemistry of fifty years ago in a
university which today has lab
oratory costing more than $1,000.000,
and in which more than 5000 stu
dents are now studying chemistry.
This is what the professor of fifty
ytarS ago wrote:
Give students took the course in
general chemistry; in analytical
char1iStrv wa haVa tuyO students ono
Of whom is ready to begin his course
in quantitative analysis.
"At present the chemical library
of the university consists of Watts
Dictionary-a valuable work, but
not fully supplying our needs. We
have begun to take a chemical
journal.
"a chemical hall is needed. This
need not be an expensive structure"

QUEEN BLANCHEs BIRTH


December !
I'm Dec. l, 1888, Blanche of Cas-
" tile, mother of Louis TX, and
one of the most able rulers of
France, was born.
After the death of her husband
in 1926 she served as regent during
the minority of her son. She proved
her ability in this period by Sue
cessfully suppTessing a formidable
conspiracy of the mobiles.
Possessed of. remarkable executive
talent, she supervised personally all
departments of government.
After the marriage of her son,
she resigned her regency, to re-
sumo it later for period Of three
years, when Louis went off to fight
in the CrusadeS.
Louis became one Of Frances
greatest historic figures. AS king
of France he defeated the English
at Saintes.
Following the Crusades In Egypt
he returned to France and ruled
his kingdom with admirable justice
and marked ability. He has been
called "the ideal king Of the middle
ages"

Inherited Wealth

A writer in the current North American Review
points out that the United States, while it pro-
duces the worlds wealthiest men, does not seem to
produce enduring dynasties of wealth that last gen.
Grafton after generation He remarks that even the
great Aston fortune, handed down from John Jacob
himself is now only about third as large as was
a generation ago. The Carnegie and Prick fortunes
have shrunk; the Armour and Gould fortunes have
been split up.
This condition, preventing the formation of a
soIided upper class" maintained by Inheritance of
great wealth, probably has had lot to do with
keeping our traditional democracy alive.
One would like to be able to look into the future
and see if it will continue. Will it? Or are the
Fords the Rockefellers and the Melons founding
families that will hold their riches through
generation after generation?

France Gets Everything

NOR twelve years, the civilized
Il world has been financing naval
powwowS, disarmament commissions
and peace parleSG, not to mention
the League of Nations and the world
court.
The net result is a practically dis
armed Germany, but with other
European nations maintaining
bigger and more expensive military
establishments than in 1914.
The number of officers of Frances
pay roll is greater than the number
of soldiers Germany is allowed to
enlist and the number of cannons
she keeps in storage is twelve
times as great. The same is true of
airplanes, forts, fortified frontiers,
and poison gas.

It Is Poor Politics and Worse
Craftsmanship to Put the
World Court Matter Before
Conqress at This Time.
SAYS:

MISERABLE as our entry into
- the world court may be, and
needless as our daily dallying may
have been, it is poor politics and
worse craftsmanship to put the
matter before congress at this time.
The regular session is too short,
the necessity for dealing with
domestic problems too urgent. and
the political situation too precarious.
We have no time to waste on avoid
able or doubtful issues.
With three or four million people
still out of work, and with business
still in slump, it is our own house
that Gales for attention. The world
court has done very well without us
thus far. There is no reason to sup
pose that it could not worry along
for a year or two more.

Editor Times-My wife ard some
other women went to every bakery
in town and tried to buy second day
bread, as we used to get it for or
2 cents a loaf, but they could not
buy it, as they were told that the
bakeries break it up and shovel it
up and sell it to farmers for hogs.
If the business man wants to help
the unemployed, he at least could
sell the bread to people who have
children starving, and not sell it for
hog feed at a loss.

When the whisky's in the glass,
And the glass is on the bar,
And the sparkle Of the settler
Puts 20 shame the morning star,
Why it's then that friendly feelins
Come a-stealin' through US all
And most all our cares and sorroTs
Drift away beyond recall.

The woman admits that her older

the mother staying at home and
raising him, while the younger, son,
raised by sister little older than
himself, has no regard for his par

was making sufficient to keep the
family.
If all married women stayed at
home and kept house, and raised
their children as God intended they
should, all the husbands would have
jobs, making sufficient to keep
them. Many divorces are brought
about by the fact that the women
are away from home so much they

INSANE SLAYER
ELUDES SEARCH
Browns Relatives Warned
to Be on Guard.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NASHVILLE, Ind, Dec. 17.-No
trace had been found today of Paul
Brown, e, who shot his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Lee Brown, to death Mon
day, and wounded Chester Bunge,
who had been working on the
Brown farm.
The victims will be buried at
Nashville Thursday. Condition of
Bunge remained critical, but he has
shown some signs of improvement.
Sheriff D. S. Wilkerson has
warned all relatives of the slayer to
be on their guard, in the belief that
the former Purdue student is dan
gerouSly insane, and has escaped
from the vicinity of the crime.
Bloodhounds followed a trail Tues
day, which led toward Bloomington,
but soon lost it. A score of men
searched the wooded hills all day
without success.
There was the alternate opinion
locally, however, that the slayer,
who took his revolver with him in
his flight, had shot himself to death
in some isolated spot where the
body may remain hidden indefi-
nitely.
This theory was supported by the
complete absence of reports of
Brown being seen after the crime.
