The Old-Time Servant
\Vomen “110 employ a “girl for
general housework” or more than
one servant, frequently exchange
lilt‘lllllthoiy reflections in regard
to the difficulty they find in sc-
curing.r women to pei‘l'ol'm. ”1050
services in these times. It is per-
haps not surprising when you
think of the disadvantages that
iiscd to attach to that form of ne-
cupation.
(me of the things that must
have done a lot to give housework
a bad name, was the bad condi-
tions under which such women of-
ten had to work. It was cus—
tomary in many homes to give
sueh a girl a room on an attic
floor, which would be scalding hot.
in summer, yet was not, provided
with any way of heating in win-
lci‘.
A girl would go up to such a
loom in the middle of a hot sum-
mer day, when she had time for
a little rest, and find the sun had
been heating with such intense
severity on the root‘ above her,
that, the room was just like an
oven. Such rooms were frequent-
ly poorly provided with windows.
so they might. not fret a cooling
breeze if there was one.
in winter while the family be-
low were kept. snug and L'olllll’il‘l'
able with their perfected heating
apparatus, the only way for the
girl to keep warm was to stay lll
her kitchen. It is not strange
that many girls got rebellious un-
der such conditions, and decided
they would rather live in their
own homes and share advantages
and (liscomi‘orts equally with the
rest of the folks, rather than be
given the dregs of everything in
some nicer house.
The hours of labor for the old
time houseworkers were often
very long, and they broke up the
day badly, so that, a young woman
who desired social life was much
cut off from her own crowd. it
has not been strance that house-
work has got, a bad name. Many
housewives, however. now make
conditions very pleasant for their
home helpers, so that; this kind of
employment will seem at least as
agreeable as shop or store or of—
fice work.

Bankrupt-Educators
Fifteen hundred California
bankers have been speakers with-
in the past 1‘2. months, talking
business and banking before civic
and social gatherings of every na-
ture, bringing home to their hear.
era the essentials of banking prac-
tice and of personal thrift. Dur-
ing the school year just ended
they addressed not less than 130,-
W‘school children.
In 37 states and the District of
Columbia other bankers have been
profiting to the same end, while
in some states—Pennsylvania, for
instance—the bankers’ association
has been forwarding the work by
supplying data, outlines for Ice-
tures and other material as a
means of saving busy men time
and effort. Here is an education-
nl Work, outside as well as inside
the schools, of a value hard to
overestimate.
The banker who does not com-
mand his community's respect
does not remain a banker long.
The successful banker is the kind
of man to whom people listen, and
whose judgments carry weight.
He enjoys, therefore, an opportu-
nity to preach good business and
sound economics such as is grant-
ed to very few of his fellow-citi-
zens.
The more wisely he uses them,
the better it is for his bank as
well as for the whole community.
The more effectively he can set
forth the twin gospels of conser-
vative business and ordered thrift,
gho better banker he will be, and
thebstter will be the citizenship
in which his insitution operates.

“MASSACRE" ‘
Ninety-seven. per eentof the Ar-
menian population in Turkey has been
wiped out .to date. declares Rev. Dr.
G. D. Young of the Near East relief ar-
ganlzstion. '
At this rate. if you bother to add up
the Armenians "massacred by the
Turks in the last 10 years (according
to the cables), there must be several
millions of them left. Sometimes we
wonder'if s. propagandist invented the
adding machine. Why exaggerate an
evil that admittedly exists and is
atrocious enough without exaggera-
lion?
GAMBLING
In the big new California oil field.
boomers are paying as high as $50.-
000 an acre for the privilege of drill-
ing wells on land formerly wortn
next to nothing. .
()n top of that. it costs the boom~
ers 875.000 to 8100.000 to drill one
well. They go nearly a mile deep to
net the oil sand. It's a. ricn man's
name. not as much chance for the
Horatio Alger hero as when Rocke-
feller was in his late twenties build-
ing up the Standard Oil Co.
Despite the huge cost. there's at-
wavs a decided chance that the well
will be a. "tltis‘lri-"-no oil.
DELI.
If your job seems monotonous and
«lull. think of 1-2. 1‘. Smith of the Old
Colony Trust Co. in Boston. Ilc signs
his name 350,000 times a year on
checks. etc. A machine. holding five
pens, enables him to sign five. at a
time. But that still necessitates 70,000
signatures a year. And if it‘s as bore-
some as when teacher used to make
us stay after school and write. the
same thing over and over main on
the blackboard. Smith deserves a
medal. Yet his job is llie kind that
standardization and mass production
and "efficiency" are bringing all
humanity inward stedily. “’e are
walling ourselves in a frightful prison.
(‘HI'RCH
The title is turning. and Europeans
are coming back to the churches. re-
ports Prof. K. H. Roessingh of Lcyden,
Holland. This comes after an epidemic
of despair and, religious doubt-rc-
netlon from the war and its misery.
The swing back to the church in
Europe in the kind of reconstruction
that counts most. l-‘or Europe's real
troubles and problems are spiritual.
"ONE
The home is the least efficient of
our. social institutions. charges Prof
I‘Zrnest ll. Groves of l‘mslon l'niverslty
('oil.~x:e nr Liberal Arts. He says the
home lags behind the school and
i-lmrch because it has not made use of
sob nee. “There are. parents who pre-
pare themselves more seriously for the
raising of poultry than for the bring-
ing up of their own children."
It is easy to start an argument
about anything. And there are ways of
proving that black is white. Rut to
claim that the average home is less of-
lielvnt than. for instance. schools. is
too lnlll'll. Home, managed by moih-
ore is the MOST successful of social
institutions.
CRIME
The former head of Scotland Yard
detectives Sir liasil Thomson. toured
our country rteently. Back home in
London. he blames our crime waves on
uncertain and feeble working of our
laws (loopholes and too much elns-
tir'lty) rather than on courts or police.
He also thinks we do not have enough
cops.
Is it possible that our laws. except
where free speech or property rights
are concerned. are too democratic?
\\'e are no strict with the rabbits that
we overlook the wolves.

THE LAST HI'l‘ClllNG POST.
(Antonia Sentinel.)
One more Connecticut town has re-
mow-d the last of its ancient and un-
used hitching poets from the scenery.
There was danger that the twentietth
century youth would inquire. ”Papa.
what is that poet tor—the post with a
hole in it?" “'0 don't. ‘ hitch" any
more; we "park." Suppose there were
horses and suppose there were hitch-
ing posts. What is the proportion of
probability that the person driving thy
mere horse woud find his parking
space clear where the hitching post
was? Motorists kick sufficiently
about having to dodge driveways;
they had to treat hitching posts as
they do fire hydrants.
Yes. the last of the hitching posts
are going; and is there great lament?
By this time we are becoming recou-
clled to the disappearance of the horse
from our cities and towns. Statistics
showing that the horse holds his own
mildly amuses us. Where is he?
Somewhere on this modern. swiftly
moving earth there is a place for the
horse. But it isn't on our trunk line
highways. 0n the mm? The farmer
has a tractor and s. fleet of flivvers.
with l Packard car for his pleasure
use. From the drudgery of trucking
the horse is largely delivered. And
all of us are content. the horse meet
of all.
Sentiment lingers around his mem-
ory.‘ He still exists for our pleasure.
and for the venture of our money on
the race track. Still. in some exclusive
park driveways may be found some
privileged persons riding on Dr drawn
by horses. Still we may 'read about
the horse in romance and poetry. in
the pages which bell of the heyday of
chivalry. The Mm has had his day.
and may have other days. for all we
know. For the present our god is
the machine.

While repsred to offer determin-

sorship of the press. the Council of
the Institute of Journalists place on
record their strong disapproval d
the increasing tendency in newspa»

timate details of divorce petitions. and

50 Municipal Courts.
(Wm. 'I‘. Tilden. World Champion)
That will provide play (four per-
sons to a court in doubles) for 200
persons per hour for eight hours. or
1.600 persons daily. This means 11.-
200 individuals per week on 50
courts. If a city puts in cement or
asphalt courts. the original outlay
is higher. possibly 8600 to 8700 a
court, as against $260 to 8800 for
dirt. It is quite possible for the up-
keep of the courts to be partially or
entirely covered by a nominal fee of
25 cents an hour per player if neces-
saxy.
