New Concealed Weapons

Congress- which is at times bitter in its criticisms Of
the Washington Police Department. has failed comply with
repeated requests for enactment of worth while vagranc
law and that might restrict the sales and carrying OF
dangerous weapons.
Police officials estimate that in less than two years
10000 pistols been bought by Washington citizens some
from local establishments others from outside concerns
The way they used in this city lately shows that
they must be plentiful
Our law on the selling of firearms is almost dead letter
There is little or restriction that will work in the sales OF
weapons Not much attention is paid to police requirements

It admitted that local laws against the sales and

The Presidents complete shift of front in salary policies for

advisers in view of Treasury deficits looming for this fiscal
year and for the next but the policies anything but
encouraging to the of workers for Uncle Sam.
Not many months the President submitted Congress
plans that would bring salaries OF civil service
workers up provided in existing law It is clear
that at that the President recognized that undepaid
workers had been buncoed of fair increases by ntepr
kations of the Welch pay bill and other legislation
Despite this presidential recommendation OF ar play
Congress would make the necessary appropriations ano

"The Wages of Sin"

modern woman must give more
than that to her family if she
is to be a success. She must
give social charm, enthusiasm,
physical vigor, business shrewd-
ness, and a wide knowledge Of
current affairs. How can she
do and develop all this and
still spend her time doing the
chores her grandmother did?
Had a Good Job
"Take my case. I had a
splendid position in an adver-
tising agency before I married.
I could go back to my old
position. I would be a happier
individual and a better COM
panion to my husband if I did
go back. And it would only
take small part of my salary
to hire maid to do the house
work much better than I can do
it. For, frankly, I'm the worlds
worst housekeeper. I detest 1t.
I think our whole household
system is antiquated and an
economic waste. If we had
community kitchens and clean
ers we could cut our household
expenses in half. The Ameri-
can mans office is run by the
laws of 1880, but his home is
still operated by the systems
of 1890. IT'S AS SILLY TO
EXPECT A MODERN. EDU-
GATED WOMAN TO DO HER
OWN HOUSEWORK AS TO
EXPECT A MODERN, PRO
FESSIONAL MAN TO DO HIS
OWN JANITOR WORK. But
because my husband, as a boy,
formed a sentimental memory
of his mother bending over a
cookie-cutter, he expects me to
follow in her footsteps. And
because I rebel he calls me
restless and unwomanly.'
Why Is It?
"Why is it unwomanly for
me to refuse to do as his
mother did? He doesn't do as
his father did-nail up his
own screen doors, smoke his
own bacon, half-sole his own
shoes? Yet how mad he'd be
if I called him restless and
unmanly."
Well - that's Mary's idea.
What's YOURS? Do you be-
lieve that if woman loves her
home. she must pare her own
potatoes? Or can she prove
that love quite as we'll by
spending her eight hours per
in an office, paying a hired
worker to do the chores, and
greeting her husband at night
WITHOUT a Smudge Of flour
on her emancipated nose?
Let's hear.

LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON

Mrs. Randolph, of Omaha,
started it. Sat down one day,
all frazzled out, and wrote a
rebellous letter asking why
capable, college-bred, business
trained women should be ex-
pected to take care Of their
own babies.
Mrs. Randolph loved her
babies, longed to serve them.
But what sort of intelligent SER
vice could she give them when
her time was consumed between
washboard, diet kettle, sewing
machine and diSpan? And what
preparation could she make
for the difficult years ahead
when her adolescent youngsters
would expect mother to be up
to the times?" What time was
left for reading, for music,
for quiet thought, for a little
interesting, social contact
which every woman needs to
keep her fresh and friendly?
We printed her letter and
how those answers came! When
they passed the 5000 mark we
stopped counting. Also we
stopped hoping. For not one
of a thousand of those letters
was an honest reply to Mrs.
Randolph's question. Each one

But Mary didn't. Mary is also

business man. She had no chill

ried she wanted many-but
now she is beginning to have
her doubts about the beauty
of motherhood. For Mary's
husband also believes in IAN
old-fashioned home" Which
means that Mary, with her own
hands, must darn his socks,
bake his beans and mop his
floors, "as mother used to Co."
But his mother lived in an
entirely different world" cries
Mary. "She is a lovely woman
but, as girl, she received al

Careless about your conso-

truth, to be sincere, to utter
honest words, to love liberty, to
wage relentless war against
slavery in all it's forms, to love
wife and child and friend, to
make happy home, to love
the beautiful in art, in nature;

thoughts that genius has ex-
pressed. the noblest deeds of
all the world, to cultivate
courage and cheerfulness, to
make others happy, to fill life
with the splendor of generous
acts, to destroy prejudice, to
receive new truths with glad
ness, to cultivate hope. to see
the calm beyond the storm, the
dawn beyond the night, to do
the best that can be done and
then to be resigned. K. M. G.

Distribution OF
Ammunition
Editor, Times:
Last evening I read the So

advanced by PRO Bono Pub

ammunition only on police per-

In my mind the only result
of this would be to incon-
venience the masses somewhat,
as cartridges would surely be
bootlegged and thus control Of
them given to the criminals
who are now causing the crime.

SLOVAK CATH. SOKOL,
DUCK PINS. .
BY JOHN ITALIAN

Ash Wednesday brought us the
poorest attendance so far this year
with one team forfeiting and some of
the others finding vacancies in their
ranks.
With rivalry at a high pitch, the
spot light was centered on the Struth-
ers-Rigelsky Tailors contest and what
contestants they were. After taking
the first game, the Struthcrs crew
found q fighting Tailor crew on their
hands and proceeded to drop the
second game $40 to 796 with enough
lung power from the gallery to do
credit to one of our local football
games. Some of the teams are serious
ly thinking of adding the organized
cheering as another feature Of sthe
league. Wen the Tailors must have
made the most racket as they were
the weakest in the final game, which
went to the Struthers gang. "Ape'
Mascardine's IS brace Of COOS along with
fine "pinch bowling' by Sekerek was
the feature of Struthers' victory,
while Smith of the Tailors found the
center Of the ulleys for three good
games.
In a par with the Struthcrs-Rigel-
sky games were the ones rolled by the
Slovak Cath. Sokols and the st. Cyrils.
Three of the closest and most bitterly
fought games this year.
The Sokols, with Mike Bacha and
John Martinko coming thru at oppor-
tune times, took the odd game. Walt
Lind could not get the right angle but
Sarna and John Tesner rallied nobly
to the cause with 3 fine games apiece.
The st. Stanislaus failed to make
an appearance and forfeited three
games to the St. Stephens.
The Herman Service didn't 90 so
hot but "luke- warm' was enough for
them to take three games from the
Lisko Elec., who, with their ranks rid
died could not muster enough pins to
win.
The following were the 200 scores:
