" Evening cBPQBB-pHiiiABEPmA:,. Tuesday, jJytrARY a xws. mki t.f P ART OP INCREASING INCOME CAN BE LEARNED, SAYS M'LISS She Interviews Miss Mary H. Ingham, Who Knows All About Stocks and Bonds and "Spiking" the Get-rich-quick Schemes t - VT of their stocking and into safe, sound and lucrntlvo Investments!" J Sounds like a peace party slogan, that, but It tvas simply tho answer that tlss Mary H, Ingham made when I naked her what women ought to do with their money. This clover woman who, without losing any of her femininity, sccma to bo able to grasp all of those subjects supposedly cotnprehenslblo only to the mas culine mind, Including the workings of tho stock market, Is engaged In n work tinlquo In tho history of this city. She Is teaching women how to Invest their money, A largo brokerago Arm with ofllces all over tho world employs her solely to look after their women Investors here, to glvo to thm of her financial knowledgo and to guldo them In "placing" their capital. "The money of women," the told mo when I Invaded her oftlco on Chestnut street, "Is needed In tho development of tho country. Their principal should tako an active part In tho money affairs of tho world. It should not Ho Idlo nhd for their own sako It should bo Invested In a, way to mako It yield tho biggest interest. "Thcro nro two kinds of women. Thoso who think tho only snfo way of keeping money Is to have It by them In tho stocking or tho mattress. Tho other typo respond to the advances of tho 'gct-rlch-qulck' schemers. I had ono woman como to mo recently to ask mc nbrut making nn Investment that was advertised to yield 1000 per cent, profits. Imagine that!" Women are easily lctlmlzcd, In tho opinion of Miss Ingham, becauso they have had little nr no training In money matters. To tho avcrngo woman tho working1 of a slock ticker Is ns Intelligible as tho clicking of a telegraph Instru ment 8ho doesn't know a stock from a bond, a wild-cat schemo from a gilt- edged security She needs to in- shown. For lack of tlmo or opportunity to find good Investments, or lack of knowl edgo about them, many women recelvo much less Incomo than they ought to have. A readjustment of principal, tills finance expert declares, will often result In an increase with as good or better security. It la tho duty of Miss Ingham to glvo Unprejudiced advlco nnd to dlspcnso Information concerning Investments. "I am Just as Interested In tho woman with a small amount as In tho ono with a fortune She who has fcoternl hundred dollars should bo nblo to get as good a rato proportionately ns she who can sign her check for largo sums, No matter what the principal Is, a woman should feel that she 13 getting tho very largest yield that she can hope to safely. AVo bellevo here that cxperlenco nnd knowledge are best safeguards for women, nnd I think that every Investor should realize that there are duties and responsibilities attached to the investing of money as well as rights." Not to lie Found in Hoylc Tho supremo triumph of tact over Inclination Is when a brldgo-flcnd smiles Bwcotly at tho partner who has trumped her ace and remarks: "It doesn't really matter, George!" What Docs the Lady Mean? Professor Emily Oreeno Itnlch, of Wellcsley, says that tho war will create a new sex tho International. Whatever It means, many a man will protest that there nro too many ulrcady. SEEN IN THE SHOPS M Governmental Intrusion? It a young woman walks up your front door atop, rings your bell and when you como to answer says: "Good morning, I'm hero to show you how to run your house," don't bo surprised or think sho Is crazy. Sho Isn't at nil. Sho'a merely a teacher In home economics employed by Uncle Sam to demonstrate tho easiest, best and most economical wnys of mak ing tho wheels of domesticity revolve. If you are living In Phllidelphla, however, sho Isn't likely to como around, for her activities nro confined to tho rural districts, nnd small villages. Ac cording to n recent Interview with ono of tho teachers, It Isn't tho easiest thing In tho world to walk Into a woman's liouso nnd convlnco her that sho's doing things all wrong. It requires somo tact1 beforo even tho threshold can bo passed, but once sho gets by tho battlo between the old and tho now ancient methods of performing household tasks versus inodorn methods begins. The way that mother used to do Is not necessarily tho most efficient way, but somo pains aro required beforo many pcoplo grasp this. Making friends With tho daughters of tho farmers' wives Is ono of tho means of gottlng Into tho household without being considered a moddlcr. "Olico tho teacher is In tho house," said the Government young woman ex plaining hr tactics, "It's an easy step t talk to tho mother about her canning and preserving. Ono step leads to another. I have on several occasions been grudgingly admitted to tho farm-houso on tho pretoxt of examining the young girls' canned tomatoes or peaches, and beforo leaving have given advice, some times actual lessons on becoming colors, tho way to preserve eggs for winter use, how to mix cement for a floor, how to stop noso bleed, tho best food for laying hens, four ways of making uso of left-over bread and a dozen or more other subjects." It stands to reason that tho teachers must bo very versatile In order to como up to the Government's Idea of what an Instructor In homo economics should be. And thero are 400 of them In the Southern States nlono teaching women tholr business, which makes of this qulto a profession. They have been at work for only two years, but despite tho fact that they report a gratifying success. It seems curious to think that an outsider could go In and glvo a Southern woman any pointers In tho culinary and domestic art. Howover, tho efficiency bug seems to havo descended upon tho land with a vengeance. Who among us can hopo to escapo It? They Will Crop Up The subject of trousers for women will not bo downed. I hear that many of the English women who have Joined tho labor ranks becauso of war con ditions have donned them. Those who have taken the places of mon on the farms and In tho munitions factories And tho mascullno garb more comfortable to work In. There's safety In numbers. I reckon the 3000 women who are employed In ono factory alono In Glasgow could wear anything they wanted to without ex citing adverse comment. M'LISS.

By IiMOGEN B. OAKLEY According to an ordinance of Councils approved March 7, 1SS2: "To placo any sweepings, or other dirt or rubbish from any store or other build ing, upon tho streots of tho city, or tho footways thereof, except In proper recep tacles," Is declared to be a publlo nui sance nnd therefore prohibited. Nearly all tho small shopkeepers In Philadelphia, and some that aro not so small, sweep tho day's accumulation of dust and djrt out upon tho sidewalk, and whllo many, flattering thomselvca that they nro exceptionally tidy, sweep tho dirt across tho Bldowalk nnd Into tho gutter, they aro all violating this law, which rorblds sweepings on cither sldo wnlk or street. Nothing enn bo more Insanitary than this practice. Various women's clubs In tho city have nt times dabnted tho question of sending printed requests to shopkeepers, asking them In tho interest of tho public health to put their sweep ings Into the ash can, or still better Into tho fire. WHY NOT IN PHILADELPHIA? "If Berlin can h.a-o clean streets, why cannot Philadelphia?" Is tho Indignant question of nil thoso who have seen nnd admired tho wonderful cleanliness of that cltv. Philadelphia could have clean streets nnd havo them at once If sho had a military government. Tho United Stntes army gavo clenn streets to Havana nnd Manila nnd could do tho snmo for Phil adelphia If her citizens should desire to Hvo under martial law. If all Philadel phia men wcro obliged to devoto a num ber of years to mllltnry scrvico and to learn tho soldier's lesson of prompt nnd unquestioning obedience, thero would doubtless be no more public expectora tion, no moro throwing down of wnsto paper, no moro sweepings of shops out into tho streets. WHAT A GERMAN DID. I was once asked to remonstrate with a family of German Immigrants who per sisted In throwing all their household tefusc Into the nrd of their next door neighbor. I explained to tho man of the family that It was neither cleanly nor kind to dump refuse Into a neighbor's yard and that therefore tho law forbado his doing so. He looked nt mo with amazement and said: "But I thought this wns a free country!" Ho and his fnmlly had been cleanly In their own country, but they had been cleanly under compulsion: thoy had not been tnught that tho real reason for cleanliness is that ono should lovo one's neighbor ns ono's self. Tho democratic ideal, as opposed to militarism, Is that tho pcoplo shall be taught the altruistic reasons for order nnd cleanliness, nnd to lovo and practlco theso virtues for their own sakes. But who shnll do tho teaching? Shall women's clubs nnd collego settlements bo depended upon, as Is now the case? Or shall policemen Instruct tho house holders on their beats? Or shall city ordinances relating to public health and cleanliness bo Included In tho curriculum of all schools? TOO MUCH WORRY ABOUT COLD BOGY AND OUTSIDE EXP0SU1 MRS. BLANK stopped for a brief at on her wfty heme the other day. She had a bundle, and from the end of the bundle protruded a small whip. We won dered what the whip was for. Well, Mr. Blank had asked her to get one. It seemed that little Dorothy Blank was be coming incorrigible. Why. tho little vixen ran nwny down the Btreot to meet him yesterday, nnd she didn't have ft thing on her head! So Mr. Blank felt that stern duty compelled him to arm himself In de fense of tho health of tho household. Now If ono of our llttlo girls should do a thing llko that wo wouldn't consider It criminal. "Wo nssumo that our young sters nre not morons, and thnt any cium of normal mental ty Is quite eapable of coming In out of tho cold If the cold Is uncomfortable And, of course. If the cold Isn't uncomfortnblo It cant pos sibly do any harm. Why, It may even do Think of the tremendous amount of needless, silly worrying people do nbout "exposuro."
