AMUSING LETTEK TO M'LISS
Signs Himself "A Christian" and Quotes Saint
Paul to Put the Female of the Species in
Her Proper Place
"TEAU JI'LIss," writes a correspond'
JL-ent, whose lottor Is more descriptive
of. his mental outlook than any words of
mine could bo:
"Why do you waste valimblo npace In
a reputable paper In tho discussion of
women and wages? Women should not
bo engaged In tho Industries, unless It Is
io assist In tho manufacture) of Inferior
grades of commodities. At tho present
day woman has been elevated to an ex
tent that Is Inconsistent with her mental
capabilities.
"The attentions bestowod upon her and
her antics In consequenco nil many col
umns of our papors with nauseating read
ing. Bettor wero they In tho days of
old, when obcdlenco and sllonco wero
demanded of them, and as St. Paul Rays
In 1st Corinthians, 14th chapter, 35th
verse, 'If thoy would learn anything, lot
them ask their husbands at home.'
"A CHRISTIAN'."
I wasto this valuablo space, Christian,
becauso I believe two subjects, at least, to
bo of suporlmportanco In tho world, Ono
Is women and tho other Is wages. When
tho two aro combined tho question Is
raised to tho zenith' of moment.
I can understand tho nttltudo of tho
man who believes that no woman should
work nt anything. Ho Is a dreamer and a
fool, but etlll comprehensible. I cannot,
however, "get" your contention that
women should bo permitted to engage In
"tho manufacturo of Inferior grades of
commodities."
Perhaps you aro one of thoso mis
ogynlsts who would rcfuso to respond to
a toast "To tho Ladles," oven though
his own mother had proposed It. Or, per
haps, some woman has proved her capa
bility of doing a work similar to your
own just a llttlo better than you do It.
At any rato, jour viewpoint Is a heart
less ono. Tho manufacturo of Inferior
grades of commodities Is, I Imagine, tho
lowest form of labor. It probably entails
tho greatest expenditure of physical
energy and pays tho poorest kind of wage.
You call yourself "A Christian." I sus
pect you would have mado nn ndmlrablo
and cordially detested slavo driver,
Tho prlino reason, I should say, for tho
continued and persistent discussion In
reputable newspapers of woman and her
relationship to wages Is becauso men of
your typo exist not In largo numbers, It
Is gratefully written, for you aro grad
ually becoming extinct, but hero mid
thoro ono still comes across you, ns,
despite ono's careful watchfulness, ono
comes across occasionally a poltonous
weed In a sweet flowering garden.
Uecnuso you, or your typo, walked tho
earth In alarming number years ngo tho
woman's movement was born. Scratch a
growing movement and you'll find oppres
sion underneath. Tho women would
never havo protested had not tho dom
Inanco of tho malo becomo so obnoxious
that sho preferred death to submission
to it.
At tho risk of puncturing your ex
cesslvo egotism, Christian, I Bhould llko
to point out tho painful fact to you that
many women do not osk their husbands
at home when thoy wish to learn some
thing, bocauso tho former ronllzo (though
sometimes thoy aro too tender hearted to
publish their knowledge) that thoy nl
ready know far more than tho gentlemen
whom thoy huvo espoused.
Thcro nrc two speclmons of humanity,
Christian, who nro pitiful to behold Ono
Is the man who lives ahead of his day,
who sees further than his fellow man, and
Is called a "nut" becauso o'f his vision.
Tho other Is tho man who has not yet
caught up with his day. Ho Is always
ranting about things as they used to bo.
Ho is the original laggard In tho nrmy of
life.
Pep up! Christian, tho dominant males

FALSE REFRIGERATION ECONOMY
EXPOSED IN DETAILED ESTIMATES
By WILLIAM A. EVANS, M. D.
THIS is tho rating of an ordinary cheap
refrigerator (about $10 to $20). such
as $10 to $70 a month apartments aro
equipped with. Tho refrigerator Is 48
Inches high, 28 Inches wldo and IS Inches
doep. There is an Icebox at tho top and
a food chamber' below It. The Icebox Is
entirely separato from tho food chamber.
Tho wall Is lis Inches thick. Tho outer
most layer Is wood, nppar-ntly three-eighths
of an inch thick. Tho Innermost layer1 la
galvanized iron. What Is between I do
not know, but probably wood and paper.
Tho wall surface of tho refrigerator is
89.5 feet.
Tho interior of the box Is painted white.
Thero aro two doors on tho front, ono Into
the Ico chamber and ono Into tho food
chamber. Tho doors fasten by the familiar
combination catch and clamp, to hold the
door shut and to press It tight against the
framo.
Tho Icebox holds a little over DO pounds
of Ice, Tho drain from tho Icebox runs
ob a one-inch tubt through tho food cham
ber tb the bottom of tho box, where it
empties Into a dripcup. This drlpcup ncti
as a water seal to prevent warm air from
entering tho box.
On the day when tho box was scored tho
average temperature of tho room In which
tho box was located was 71. The average
temperaturo In tho food chamber was 50,
Tho amount of ico used in 21 hours was
40 pounds. Tho heat transmission factor
was 7.99. Tho day was cool.
Tha score given the refrigerator on this
test was as follows:

Reasons for tho low score :
Temperature of tood chamber Ilacterla
multiply very slowly below B0. At 60 they
multiply rapidly. Milk sours before all
of It Is consumed, Vegetables wither and
meats spoil In a fow days. Such a re
frlgerator means much, wasted food and
ellsht danger from putrefied food. If 15 is
given a temperature under 40, 20 Is a liberal
allowance for a temperature of EC.
Ico consumption The amount of Ice con
umed by this refrigerator makes Its cost
f maintenance prohibitive. A box coat
)ng twice as much would have the extra
ost in Ice n less than two seasons. The
performance of this bgx Is only about one
xtfi the calculated perfect for a box of
Its site.
Humidity There wa w precipitated
water on the walls anywhere except for a
little dampness on the roof of the food
chamber, the bottom of the lea chamber.
A relative humidity of CO at temperature 5S
means that the air holds very little mosture.
At such a humidity meat and food will
not mildew On the other hand, It Is pot
dry enough to damage eggs or other foods
which must not be kept too dry The score
for humidity Is 6 8 out of a possible 8.
Circulation of air That this Is fair,
within the box, is shown by the absence
of moisture from the wall. However, a
proper circulation Is one In which the air
from the food chamber lias a chance to
flow over the Ice, deposit Its moisture and
odors there and flow to the food from the
lee.
Interipr finish Kight out of a possible
it X painted -netal finish U not the equal
of porcelain tile, or glass. The ice cham
ber Is not so easily cleaned as It should be.
Thero nro no glass Inner doors by which
the Interior can bo Inspected without open
ing the doors.
Drainage Porfect, 3 ; allowed, 2. The
seal at the end of the drainage plpo cannot
bo cleaned easily. Tho drainage plpo Is not
cleaned easly. Cold-water low forms of
llfo can and will grow In it.
Hxtorlor finish Perfect, 5 ; allowed, 1.
The exterior finish Is that of an ordinary
$20 refrigerator. A better and more eco
nomlnal icebox can bo made and sold for
less than $20.
A better refrigerator Is more economical
than Is this ono. (
Give Baby Water
I have a llttlo hoy who Is now It months old.

Newly born babies often suffer from pain
In urinating. Tho cause la uric acid crystals
In tho urine. Theso crystals cut and tear,
and blood In tho urine ocnslonally results.
The remedy Is water. Glvo the baby
water to drink. If preferred, tho water can
be flavored with catnip and called catnip
tea, or It can bo otherwise flavored and
called by another name, but glvo water.
Occasionally this uric acid gravel is fol
lowed by stone. Sometimes tho stone Is In
the urethra, occasionally In the bladder or
kidney. Possibly In this case It Is In tho
urethra. A physician can tell you. You
may have to seo n specialist.
In most cases of painful urination In

circumcision is needed.

Treating Tired Feet
A bit of soda added to the warm water
in which the feet are bathed often does
much toward alleviating the tired feeling.
If a girl stands on her feet all day, she
would do well to change her shoes at
night. Low flat heels are a substantial sup
port for the feet, as thero Is more to stand
on than a high hifl, but of course all
Bhapes of feet cannot be accommodated In
a fiat shoe. Any change of shoes, how
ever, relieves the. feet If they have been
tired out by standing or walking. When
the soda bath Is over, dry the feet with
Vigorous rubbing, thus quickening 'the cir
culation and restoring the natural vigor
of the foot. Callous spots may be rubbed
with a bit of lemon.

which, as to shape, Is chiefly bag. It is

sewing them up at tho sides. A couple of
well-aimed tucks form sleeves, and tho
rest of tho trimming Is pockets. A belt
may be supplemented, hut tho perfect free

Bawling Babes
There nro too many youngsters who know
that they can get anything If they cry long
enough for It. Then thcro aro children who
cry over anything, whether crying Is Justi
fied or not. It Is quito natural for chil
dren to magnify every disappointment and
to mako u huge outcry over everything
that displeases. Parents should remember
this and discount n largo percentage of this
bawling. Most adults aro too easily an
noyed by a child's crying. They think he
ought to control himself, nnd attach too
much Importance to his lack of restraint In
this regard.
Of course. It is very probable that there
Is ii physical cause for tho child's crying.
In that cibo. tho cause should bo found out
as quickly as possible Tho chances are

EXPERTSC0RES DOUBLE
WAGE STANDARD; CALLS
IT UNJUST TO WOMEN
Miss Theodora Butcher Says
Female Labor, When as Sat
isfactory as Men's Deserves
Same Compensation
MARRIAGE VITAL FACTOR
Do you believe that first-class woman
stenographer, or nny other kind of business
woman. Is ns good and ns capable In her
particular lino of work as a man7 Do you
think that silo Is nt accurato and as punc
tual and ns efficient ns tho man who occu
pies tho same placo In another nrtleo? If
you do. you are willing to pay her tho samo
salary that a man would get. But do you
do It?
"There's the rub" In most offices, for
although all tho foregoing questloni mny
be answered In tho affirmative employers
may belle vo In a woman's ability facta
prove that they aro not able to aniwor tho
Inst nuestlon thnt wnv. Men nro paid
higher wages than women, though their
work may bo Just the samo and their op
portunities Just ns many.
'as new Yomcnn snics it.
Which Is Jti3t ns It should bo. according
to ono John Martin's beliefs. Mr. Martin,
who Is a member of tho Hoard of Kduca
Hon In tho city of New Turk, behoves in
this doublo stnndard of remuneration.
"A man should bo paid n higher Balary
than n woman because ho Is tho father
of a family; his Is a family wage. A wom
an has seldom more than one person do
pendent upon her. Her salary Is her
own. Therefore, It should be cut down,"
H tho BUbstanco of his declaration In a
current mngazlno.
Miss Theodora Butcher, who Is known to
Philadelphia's professional and working
women as tho head of tho Uttreau of Occu
pation for Trained Women nt 13th nnd
Spruce streets, declares unequivocally that
payment should depend entirely upon the
Individual's value as an nsset to his or her
omploycr,
AGAINST DOUDI.n STANDARD,
'Thcro Is no rulo for man or woman In
this matter of money," Miss Hutchcr says,
"It depends upon the person employed. If
a woman makes herself Indispensable to a
certain firm, ns a stenographer, for In
stance, If she works conscientiously nnd ac
curately, no ono ran deny thnt sho is Just as
valuable as a man, nnd deserving of tho
samo salary ns a man. Hut, nevertheless, I
havo seen hundreds of trained women tak
ing Jobs of thlt sort, nnd filling them to
their employer's satisfaction but they
don't get n man's salary. Strange as this
may beem. it Is so. Anil nny ono in the
commercial world can prove It to you.
"Many employers aro unwilling to tako
women because they aro not regarded as
permanent. And a good many of them
aren't. A woman under 3R Is likely to
marry, and they do It nt tho very period
when their usefulness is at Its highest point.
Of course, this Is discouraging to employors.
They naturally employ men because they
know that a married man Is hot likely to
stop working, but, on tho contrary, to work
all tho harder If ho has a home nnd family
to support. ,
"I think that Mr. Martin refers to tho In
dustrial class of workers rather than tho
trained workers. I have read some of his
series of articles which havo been running
in the Survey and I think In somo respects
he Is taking a protcctlvo attltudo toward
women.
"Ho says that women should not tako
up any kind of employment that Is known to
bo Injurious to their health, which Is, of
course, tho health of futuro generations.
Now, girls who havo been working In n
factory for 8 hours a day will go homo and
lndulgo In somo sort of amusement that is
not bcneflclnl to their health.' This Is prob
ably what Mr. Martin means, but what Is
to be done about It?
"But even in tho industrial world If a
girl only gets $6 a week sho works for It
nnd sho Is entitled to It. Thero Is no rcn
Mn to discriminate on account of tho peo
plo who nro dependent upon her. Sho may
bo supporting a whole family and fre
quently Is. And a man gets a higher wago
simply because he Is a man, whether he Is
married or not and no matter how he
spends1 it. rtcally, tho personal sldo of tho
employe's exlstcnco Is nobody's business but
his own."
Guarding the Sight
If you value your sight there aro a great
many llttlo things you can do to preserve It,
For Instance, always do any sort of work
with the light coming over your left shoul
der. If the light comes from behind you,
you enn Btay at prolonged Jobs without eye
strain, If your eyes aro In normal, good
health. Weak eyes are very much affected
by strong light In front of them. Don't rub
your eyes. This Is n careless habit that
may bring all sorts of Infections In Its
wake. It also Irritates tho eyes. Bathe
the eyes every morning with cold or tepid
water, but never rub them to get awake.
Strawberry Sherbet
Here Is a cooling drink for summer, and
It Is quickly prepared. Use a tablespoonful
of good cider vinegar, sugar to taste, and
a handful of crushed strawberries. Have
a glassful of water and a llttlo cracked Ice
at hand. Pour tho strawberry mixture Into
this. Tho vinegar gives the drink a de
lightful tang.
