Modern Equipment Frees Womer,
From Household Drudgery, Slavery
BY ELIZABETH MacRAE BOYKIN

The women's rights organizations
in Mexico are starting at a logical
place-they're trying to iberate
women from the time-consuming
drudgery of grinding corn by hand!
It seems that the basic food ration
of the average Mexican family is
the tortilla and that it must not only
be made fresh each day but that
the corn meal of which it is made
must be ground fresh each day too.
And that the only equipment avail
able to most women who do this job
is a regular Stone Age grindstone.
1t takes lot of time to pulverize
hard corn with this equipment.
The liberation-of-wo organiza-
tons are demanding that little grind
ing machines be developed that can
be bought for about four dollars.
These organizations rightly recog
nize that until women are released
from time consuming drudgery in
their home, they won't have time

F>estoon rings at the upper cor

that you need in the way of dra-

how to cut and line the valance
which is pulled through these
rings. You can avoid piecings by

Wartime conditions have caused
widespread lowering of health and

tests by the U. S. Public Health serv-
ice in rs cities in 1914 revealed that
eating and drinking utensils in over
tWo-thirds of the restaurants inspect

Obvious countermeasures are the
prompt passage of up-to-date sani-

lacking such modern protection.
Also, the customer can protect him

A similar situation once prevailed
In the United States when
women had to do their washing and
ironing by hand, when they had to
cook the year round on coal or wood
ranges, when they had to pump or
draw water from out of the ground,
when they had no electrical appli-
ances for cleaning.
1t is interesting to note that the
start and spread of the women's
club movement and Of the parent
teacher organizations in the United
States were directly parallel with the
development and wide distribution of
the household washer and other mod
ern equipment. For until women
were released from the slavery of
household drudgery, they couldn't
lift their gaze much above the
