AUTHOR, DIES

EVANSTON. Ill, Dec. 9 U.N.S0. /.
Henry Kitchell Webster, noted
novelist and playwright, died at
his home here last night after a
long illness. He was 81 years
old.
Webster was operated on last
summer. Unlike the majority of
writer's, who move to New York
or Europe upon achieving fame,
he had made his home here all
his life. He had travelled widely,
however, and was well known in
the East.
Industry and m h d i al
methods figured largely in Web
ster's career. He had an office
here to which he went daily and
dictated his fiction. He worked
out plots by notations on black
board.
Webster first won fame through
his novels about business. Later,
he wrote numerous detective mys-
teries.
He is survived by his, mother,
the widow, three sons, and three
brothers. F ..

Gated, but Wanderwell made
them eat at cheap restaurants

day they took in $500.
Wanderwell had some queer

To representatives of govern

through, he used to say he was
under the protection of the League

From BuenoS Aires the expedi-
tlon went through Argentine, Bo-

AT Lima we were confined to
the ship. A Scottish girl named
Miss Bowman managed to slip
ashore. About that time a revolu-
ton broke out, and she spent
seven weeks of terror in the town.
Presently we left Lima on the
freighter to go to Colon, Canal

When we got to Colon, we were
forced to occupy a negro dance
hall, where all of us had to sleep
on the floor.

these distinct propositions
On the one hand there is purely Federal proect-the
matter of caring for who have fought for their country
and who pettoning Congress for additional
pensaton for that service.
On the other hand there is purely District proect-the

He's probably right in part
of that statement. Jehovah,
himself. couldn't tell some
mothers anything, so assured
are they of their own perfec-
ton. But that does not imply
that they don't need telling.
A Noble Job
I. am a mother. I have
worked, professionally, with
mothers in clinics and juvenile
courts for is years.
Every day I am more con-
vinced that motherhood is the
most important, most noble job
on earth; but I am also con-
vinced that mothers. as class,
are the most ignorant, inef-
ficient and often Criminally
careless of all workers on
earth.
No union would issue a card
to a worker who was as poorly
trained for his craft as the
average young mother.
No city would permit such
menace or countenance such a
public nuisance III any industry
as it permits and countenanceS
in thousands of homes.
But don't mothers love their
children and sacrifice for
them? They do indeed, ten
derly and heroically-to the
death! But what has that to
do with the question?
LOVE rs A BEAUTIFUL
THING, BUT 1T IS NOT AND
CANNOT BE A SUBSTITUTE

mothers need training as much
as any other class of workers.

Mother instinct! Piffle! Why
should a couple of hours in an

Cow Instinct
Cow instinct is sufficient in
a cow world. The COW mother,
loving, licking and in due time
weaning her calf, amply full
fills all her maternal require
ments-bovine life being un-
complicated by social obliga-
tions. But mother instinct is
not sufficient in a human
world. And the mother who
brings no more than affection
and mother instinct" to her
job produces only stupid ami
NAL, often a dangerous animal
not a civilized being.
What is responsible for the
juvenile crime wave? Is it the
automobile? The bright lights?
The Speakeasy? No. These
things contribute to juvenile
delinquency, but they do not
cause it.
THE BLUNDERS OF SILLY,
SELFISH, IGNORANT, AFRO
CANT MOTHERS CAUSE IT!
And who is responsible for
such qualities in mothers? You
and I are responsible. Instead
of treating mothers like human
beings, and judging their serv-
ice by the tests which we apply
to any other human perform
ance, we have sentimentalized
over motherhood. We, have
placed mothers in ShrineS.
