{Mother Jones’ Message
k To Women in Industry
BY “MOTHEB ” JOBES
{■atty-pir-uld Champion of La
bor** C*aa««.)
women in industry help la-
Wor to struggle toward freedom?
■ Many women, otherwise clever at
■heir new jobs, would reply; "No;
■fc would not be ladylike.'*
■ Ladies have 'been created by the
A lady submits to prevail
ing standards.
■ Women were created by God Al
■tfchty. A woman submits to no
■ne.
■ As long as women in industry have
■hat word ■■ladylike'* lodged in their
■ftinds. they will make no progress
help the world to make none.
■he question: •‘Will this be nice'.;*
■s a slave-chain about a woman s
■Mck.
Women who enter the labor wond
get into the labor fight. They
■annot escape it—they can only
their duty. The woman work-
must break her individualistic
and amalgamate.
Wot a Sex Isms
■ Women ought to join men’s un
■ona—not organise separate unions
■f their own. The battle against un-
Katrtotlc greed, the struggle for a
America, is no sex matter.
■ An infusion of women into men's
Knlnns works for good to both men
■tnd women. Sian has studied the
■Raease longer than woman; he has
broader vision of society's prob
■mds. Woman is less indifferent to
Mnfferiug than man. She will con
■gibute energy and inspire to action.
A woman will not see the hair
from the scalp of a ten-year
■M girl by unprotected cog-wheels
■n a southern cotton mill, without
to do something about it.
■Jhe must learn.
■ Unfit for Strain
■ Many women, of course, will be
■•tired within the next year or two
■rom lines of work to which women
unfitted. The bosses are after
and unfit labor wins them
Ho dollars.

In the more normal occupations,
women have come to stay. Returned
soldiers will find employment In

no conflict between me a and women
as to which shall hold the jobs.
Women. Wot ••I.adloa”
The woman who wants to be really
useful must atav out of women’s
clubs, settlement work, and so-called
“charitable" organizations. These are
breeding places of convention and
ladylike submission. Woman must
cease to query: “Is this ladylike,
and ask only, “is this woman-like?
She says he proposed to her a few
hours after he had met her at a
Pittsburg concert, where she sang.
The voung wife charges that her
husband is an habitual drinker, and
frequently has shown violence to
her. One day this month, her com
plaint savs, he threw her into the
hallway of a hotel when she was clad
only in a nightrobe.
Mrs. Burrows was Miss Ethel
Watkins, of Pittsburg. She is the
defendant's second wife.
If You Want a Stroll?
Trot a Parsec or Two!
A •’parsec” is a distance that
the most zealous pedestrian
would hardly care to walk before
breakfast. In fact, it doesn’t
enter into the sphere of human
operations at all. but It is a
handv unit of astronomy. It is
equal to 20.006.000.000.000 miles
and is the distance traveled by
light in 3.3 years.
High Meat Prices
Likely to Continue
For Long Time Yet
Peace will not bring cheaper meat
or more of it.
Wartime prices are likely to con
tinue for several years atter the war
is formally ended and food control
lers are memories. There is a pos
sibility prices may go even higher.
Meanwhile millions of families in the
United States and Europe will be
forced to continue meatless meals
and days. _
This is indicated in the British
food ministry's survey of the food
situation, which emphasizes the vast
depletion of cattle in every country.
The survey also indicates similar
world wide shortages of sugar, ani
mal fats, milk and the possibility of
soaring prices of tea, coffee, rice;
sago, pepper, allspices and many dry
groceries.
It is the after-the-war task of the
allied food conference, composed of
the food controllers of the United
States and allied nations, to prevent,
so far as possible, a world wide
scramble for food in the United
States and other countries after
peace is signed.
After-the-war price soaring is more
to be feared than war profiteering.
The British air ministry’s statis
ticians have compiled figures to show
the comparative Increases in food
prices during the war.
Those countries in which the in
i crease has been greatest are the ones
now most short of food. The table is
scaled from July, 1914, of which the
food prices are put at 100 per cent.
The table follows;
July July July July Oct.
1914 1017 1918 1913 1918
United King-
dom 100 185 179 179 190
France 100 170 160 203 220
Italy 100 149 154 256 264
United States 100 140 148 153 161
Sweden 100 160 178 268 305
Switzerland .. 100 180 186 213 215
Germany .... 100 181 201 249 228
Austria 100 $lB 367 502 622
In Austria, it will be noticed, food
cost more than six times as mu-h
in October, 1918. as in July, 1914, in
dicating greater shortage there now
than in any other country.
Practically all European countries
are absolutely without fats and will
have to be supplied by the United
States in so far as that is possible.
In Germany the fats ration was 2
ounces a week at the close of the
fighting. Scandanavia has no bacon
and no pork. Only in Denmark is
the butter supply adequate. Holland,
France and Italy are short of all
fata.
Milk Is short In England and al
most non-existent in Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary, while Sweden,
Denmark. Holland. Italy and Switzer
land have only short supplies.

Are Pastors’ Sons ü ßlack Sheep?”
CASE OF YOUNG DA VIS, $40,000
EMBEZZLER, RECALLS OLD SAYING
Are ministers’ sons "black
sheep?” Is the old proverb true or
The strange case of young Ar
thur C. Davis, twenty-one, minis
ter’s son and $40,(100 embezzler, has
brought this question once more to
the tore. Pastors ought to know.
But pastors disagree.
Davis’ father is a well-known
pastor of Portland, Ore. The lad
married in his teens, had a good
job as clerk in the Last Side bank,
out ran into debt. .When he kissed
his wife as though going to work,
and skipped for San Francisco
with a suit case full of cash and
securities, there was one baby.
Now there are two.
The boy heard the tiny cry of
that baby seven hundred miles. It
brought him to his senses. Sur
rendering to a policewoman, he re
turned most of the stolen money
and goes north to face trial, prob
ably before a woman jury. His
wife is true to him.
Did Davis go wrong because he
is a “minister’s son?”
San Francisco pastors differ.
Bev. W. A. Cowden, First Pres
byterian church, says:
“it is not true that minister s
sons are handicapped. More is ex
pected of them —that’s all. This
alone has led to minister’s sons,
more than any other class of men,
being good, doing good and making
g But Rev. John H. Poucher, Cen
tral Methodist church, differs:
"Ministers’ children lead an un
natural existence. Everybody is
watching them. For that reason
they are likely to ‘slop over.’ ”
To this Rev. Thomas Parker, St.
Paul’s Episcopal church, rather
agrees. He says:
“Unless a boy has full expres
sion of himself, psychological trou
ble is likely to develop later. In
ministers’ families there is often
repression due to an impractical
idea of religion. I doubt, however,
whether that is the general rule.”
Then comes Rev. C. R. Abra,
Green Street Congressional church,
and declares:
"Woodrow Wilson is a minister’s
son!”
And the "black sheep” theory
is flatly scouted by Rev. Frank M.
Silsley, First Presbyterian church.
Oakland, who says:
“Statistics show that fewer min
isters’ sons go wrong than any
other class. That is because their
home life is paved with pt*ayer and
devotion.

HDW AMERICAN
WOMEN HELPED
OUR DOUGHBOYS
Wife of Major Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr,, Tells of Wel
fare Work Behind the
Lines in France
How American women Y. M. C. A.
workers cnangetl unattractive recrea
tion areas established by the military
authorities for American soldiers on
leave, into popular play grounds is
told by Mrs. Theodore Kooseveit, Jr.,
who recently returned from France
after seventeen months there in
charge of the women of the "leave
areas.” Mrs. Roosevelt was the first
woman to enlist with the Y. M. C.
A., for overseas duty. She went
over in June, ISH7, and took charge
of the first canteen established in
Paris.
"When the authorities decided, for
several reasons, the principal one
being that a mail must be always
on call, that the soldiers must take
their leave in certain restricted areas,
the men evinced the greatest indig
nation and disgust,” Mrs. Roosevelt
declared. "They christened the first
of the areas, which was Aix-les-
Balns, "Ashes and Pains,” and were
surly even when they left the train
there.
Women Take Charge
"We went ahead and took entire
charge of the place. We hired the
Casino and Installed a canteen
where the bar had been, leaving
the brass rail and the marble coun
ters there for old times sake. The
Baccarat room was turned into a
place for religious gatherings and
other rooms were fixed up as thea
ters and libraries.
"We arranged excursions and pic
nics across the lake and into the
mountain, bicycle rides, hikes and
fishing trips for the day time and
shows, movies, concerts and ‘stunts’
for the evenings.
“These first troops came direct
from the front line trenches where
they had been fighting only the night
before and they were caked with
mud. They look casually about the
town upon their arrival, but when
they saw what had been arranged
for them they hurried away to get
cleaned up. refusing to enter the
buildings as thev were dressed.
“Within a day every man had en
tered into the spirit of the place
and they were playing like young
sters."

MONTANA BOOZE
PARLORS WILL
CLOSEJANUMYI
State-wide prohibition goes into ef
fect in Montana at midnight of De
cember 31, this year. With the pass
ing of the saloon there will disappear
one of the picturesque institutions
of the west. At one time the saloon
was an important feature in the so
cial life of the hardy pioneers of the
Treasure State.
In the early days when men were
blazing the western trails, the saloon
followed them and, as a rule, was
among the first industries to set up
and transact business in the commu
nity. With a canvas for a top and
board bridging two boxes for a bar,
hospitality at so much a drink was
dispensed to the argonauts.
As communities prospered the own
er of the saloon or “half way house”
waxed prosperous in proportion. The
barkeeper’s was a strenuous life, for
those who sought the cheer he dis
pensed included miners, cowboys. In
dian fighters, cattlemen, sheepmen,
the renegade and the ne’er-do-well.

Only 18 Counties in Coastal
Line of North Carolina Now
Infested With Pest That
Takes Heavy Toll
With additional territory being
cleaned up and released from quar
antine on December 1, 1918, only 18
whole counties in the coastal sec
tions of North Carolina are now in
fested with the cattle tick.
This work, which was begun in
1906, has been steadily pushed along
with funds furnished by the state de
partment of agriculture and the
United States department of agri
culture co-operating with the respec
tive counties. If the next legislature
passes a state-wide stock law and
provides a small amount of funds for
the work, it is estimated that the
state can be easily cleared of the
tick during the year 1919.
Stock Law Needed
On account of the geographical lo
cation of the counties now infested,
it is very hard to make rapid prog
ress in cleaning this section entirely.
The lack of a stock law, and the
prevalence of free-range conditions,
however, furnish the greatest hin
drance to the work. This is appar
ent to any observer, as the princi
ple of lick eradication is based on
the periodical dipping of infested
cattle in a poisoned solution. This
is difficult at all times, and at some
times impossible where the cows are
wild from having been living in the
swamps. Those cattle which are not
dipped, of course, quickly infest such
as are free from the tick, making it
necessary to do the work over again.
In fact, it has been estimated that
it will cost $127,300. under free
range conditions, to clear up the re
maining territory. If there were
stock-law conditions existing here,
the cost would be decreased to $73,-
330, with a much greater decrease in
the amount of time neoessary to d«
the work.
Value Is Increased
Dr. ’William Moore, state veterina
rian. has estimated that the increas
ed value of these cattle in these
counties, if fr<»e from ticks, would
,be $245,841. According to Dr. Moore,
the passage of a state-wide stock
law would be a most economical sten.
in that the department of sericul
ture could save the money which
now being put into this work each
vear. and cou’d divert it to other
nrnjeets for promoting agriculture.
“This seems fair also." savs Dr.
Moore, "because those tavnayers not
in the ouarantine area have wisely
gotten rid of the ticks long ago."
Alaska Was Bargain
For U. S. Government
Alaska has been worth much more
than it cost the United States. A

that original investment has been re
turned to the nation more than sev
enty-fold from the products of the
land and sea. Alaska has added to
the national wealth upward of $500.-
000,000, the greate.? portion of which
has been produced during the last 20
years. Two sources of large and

Wilson Wore Deerskin
Coat Given by Georgian
On His Voyage Across
BY BOBEBT J. BENDEB.
PARIS, Dec. 14. —(By Mail.) —The
biggest story in the world—in a
deerskin coat—stood on the bridge
of the George Washington as she
steamed out of New York harbor. It
was President Wilson. The coat he
wore was the gift of a Georgia friend
and made of several fine deer skins.
Hat in hand, he stood beside Mrs.
Wilson acknowledging the din of
whistles, sirens, bells and cheers
that voiced bon voyage.
The weather getting rough early,
George Creel retired to his stateroom
shortly after the vessel got under
way. He was not available to visi
tors for several days.
President Wilson rested most of
the first three days, retiring early.
Mrs. Wilson, in a long black fur
coot, promenaded the deck at regular
intervals.
‘Abandon ship” drill the second
day out gave the passengers their
first opportunity to try out life belts
and get their life boat assignments.
One passenger, Captain , U. 8.
N., being an old-timer, didn’t feel the
need of carrying his life belt out on
deck.

changing views with th<j captain*on
the subject. Thereafter the capthin

While President and Mrs. Wilson
one day were on deck talking with
the press correspondents, Ambassa
dor Jusserand came up. There fol
th® following bit of repartee:
’ You should have seen the moving
Pictures last night, Mr. President,’’
M. Jusserand. “They were very
.fine. The story was built around a
near-beer called ‘Vevo.’ You know
•Vevo,’ La France,” added the am
bassador smiling.
“Oh, yes, ‘Bevo L’American!’ ’’ re
joined the president, at which there
was general laughter.
Through the efforts of Admiral
Grayson, President Wilson’s cold
rapidly improved. He went to the
movies frequently.
Ambassador Jusserand is a believer
in preparedness. He carried a small
French volume in his life coat pocket
to afford him reading material if by
any chance he’s forced to “take to
the boats.”
During an informal chat on deck.
President Wilson told the following
story:
“One time during the Civil war
President Lincoln was sending a
messenger to Jefferson Davis. Presi
dent Lincoln ha’d very laboriously
explained the details of what he
wished the messenger to convey to
the Confederate. At the conclusion,
the messenger, readj’ for departure,
asked: ‘Are there any instructions?'
“Whereupon President Lincoln,
somewhat wearily, responded:
“ ‘None, except as I am reminded
of a storv of a little girl neighbor
back in Springfield, 111., who played
with letter blocks in her bed at
night. One night she became very
®leepv before she said her pravers. so
kneeling down, she said: “Dear Lord,
T am too sleepy tonight to say mv
nrayers. There are the blocks. Spell
it out for yourself.” *’’
Saturday we got the side lines of
a real storm. The waves were high
and there was a marked falling off in
attendance at deck promenades.
Neither President nor Mrs. Wilson,
however, failed to appear for their
daily constitutional.
Ex-Ambassador White, one of the
American peace delegates, knows Ar
thur BaUour. the British statesman,
very well. He refers to him as "A.
G. B.’ in conversation.
On Sundav the president conferred
for the first time with Secretary
Lansing and ex-Ambassador White
on the peace copference program.
Upon leaving the conference Ambas
sador White said: “I am In complete
accord with the president’s views.”
The president attended a show
given by the crew. The "First
Night’ was reviewed privately for ex
purgating purposes before the pas
sengers of state got their glimpse
of it.
The orchestra aboard was made up
of pavy men. many of whom enlisted
for Uncle Sam from the Chicago and
Philadelphia Symphony orchestras
Their playing did much to soothe
troubled innards or stormy days and
prevent meals from hoisting anchor.
The same food served the officers
and crew aboard was doled out to
the passengers during the trip—but
it was prepared hy crack chefs con
tributed by the New York Hotel as
sociation.
