STENCILED COTTON
USED FOR CURTAINS

Unbleached cotton, stenciled with
gay little fgurines, is inexpensive
and makes ideal summer draperies
for informal rooms.
First, select the pattern and then
buy good stencil with edges that
won't break after the second OF
third pair of curtains. Place the
stencil on the borders, or wherever
you want the patterns to show, hold
it firmly in place with one hano
and paint over it with the other
Then carefully remove the stencil
and wipe it off before you begin
again.

probably would disabuse us of any
idea that the 9 to 5 stenographer of
today is the first of her sex to know
what hard work really means.
Even the ladies of the manor and
the robber baron's missuS must have
had their hands fairly full with
overlooking the work of the dairy
and the butchering yard, the kitch-
ems and the spinning rooms, to say
nothing of keeping up the proper
moral tone among the peasants at
the foot Of the hill.
Even in more recent times tho

My grandmother was not lust a
Wife" and neither was yours.
If those women were not doing
manual labor in the home they were
acting as hard-pressed executives of
a complicated household. And their
biennial childbirthS alone gave them
something more to think about than
the task of finding favor in their
good mems eyes.
Just Wife" Is Modern
The woman who is lust a wife"
is indeed one Of the most remark
: able innovations of the last fifty
years. Only the removal of a large
part of her household drudgery
could ever have made it possible for
her even to aspire to such a role
In order that a Woman's entire life
may revolve around her husbands
happiness it is first necessary to
eliminate any very pressing inter
eSts of her own.
The woman who makes a career
out Of marriage today and does a
reasonably good job probably spends
three times as much time on her
personal appearance as any wife in
history. The endless conferences
with her hairdreSser and dress
maker and milliner-all to the end
that she may appear at her best at
dinner time-are a luxury which
very few married women in the past
were able to afford. Primping was
not a major industry of the home
until recent times.
Relieved of Hard Tasks
The woman who devoteS herself
to being a wife today is relieved OF
the grubby part of housekeeping
but she is able to devote herself tC
its nicetieS, to the ferreting out OF
unusual dishes to tempt her tired
husband. to the creation of an at

injustice wherever you see it, the
power to work for the reforms
needed to make the American home
safe for babies?
There is something particularly
repellent in the fact that we have
built the sort of nation in which
it is thought necessary and even
good for mothers to resort to guns
to protect their children. Yet,
the evils which crouch Just out
side our doors are not those We
can destroy with bullets. And grim
and terrible as they are, we have
made them.
Those of us who live in Amer
lean homes the fathers and moth
erS Of the U. S. A, are responsible
in a large measure for bandits,
kidnaperS and thugs of all kinds,
because we have been consistently
negligent of our public duty. You
can't be good mother these
days unless you are also willing to
be a good citizen.

Two Into One

If you have a jacket dress of
which you've grown a little tired,
Why not transform it into a one
piece model? Cut the sleeves out of
the jacket and put them into the
sleeveless dress and, if the frock
needs a collar, make one out of the
material in the back of the little
coat.

lar concert at the Murat theater
May 8, under the direction of Fer
dinand Schaefer, organizer and

this type given by the organization
and it follows the regular winter
series of five concerts.

festival concert was free to the pub

make a charge of so cents.
A large part of the money intend
ed to pay members of the orchestra,
who receive a small amount for
their years service, is tied up by
banking restrictions. Sponsors Of
the orchestra hope to make up this
deficit in part by the nominal
charge for the spring concert.
Tickets will be on sale at the de-
partment stores. at the Viking
Music Company, 100 East Ohio; at
Gladys AlweS Music Shop in the
Circle and at the Kirshbaum Center.

REDUCE BONDS,
RAIL WAYS TOLD
BY ROOSEVELT
Federal Ownership Threat
Renewed as Cabinet
Probe Looms.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Rail-
roads need no crystal ball to tell
them what lies just ahead now that
the President has decided to take
hand in their affairs.
They need only the Salt Lake City
speech which Mr.. Roosevelt deliv-
cred in September, 1882, when he
was campaigning for the presidency.
There he set forth his views on
railroads at great length and
warned railroad arrangements just
what to expect if they didn't set
about housekeeping of their own at
once.
Joseph Eastman, federal co-or-
dinator of transportation, who
seems to be moving into the back
ground Of the picture with ap-
pointment of cabinet committee
to survey the problem, did not adj
here closely to the lines of the
Salt Lake City speech in making
his recent report on transportation.
The thing Mr.. Roosevelt en-
phasized in his campaign speech,
and to which Mr. Eastman devoted
little attention in his report, was
the need for scaling down fixed
charges-in other words, reduction
of interest payments on bonds.
The President proposed that rail-
roads begin this task at once. He
pointed out that more than 11,000,-
100000 Of railroad bonds are out
standing, nearly $5,000,000,000 Of
which are owned by banks and in
surance companies.
Railroad securities in general
must not be allowed to drift into de-
fault" Mr.. Roosevelt said. The DAM
age done to savings banks, insur-
ance companies and fiduciary in
situations generally would be too
great"
He proposed that government
credit be withheld from railroads
which refused to scale down their
fixed charges. Now that railroads
almost have stopped borrowing from
the RFC, he has had to provide him.
self with another weapon, and he
has found it in the threat of gov
eminent ownership. The President
has made it clear, however, that he
looks to this only as a last resort.

of the securities of the Missouri
