q mass meeting tonight to pro-
test against the dismissal of it's
president, John L. Donovan, by

Cooperative cookery Is much easier
on everyone.
A home is, in reality, a small COM
munity. There are various depart
ments. The competent homemaker
learns to run them all we'll. But
when there are other women In the
family, each should take some de-
partment, some special part Of the
work which is well-liked, and as
sumo the responsibility of 1t. This
is a great relief to the homemaker.
The division of labor permits each
person to have q share of leisure.
Without such division, one woman
oyerworks, and the rest have the leis-
ure, which Is apt to mean leisure to
criticize. Divided activity makes
each respect the others part, for
work respects work. The co-opera-
tive housekeeping suggested has
been proved a good idea.
