WOMEN AREN’T BETTER OFFICEHOLDERS THAN MEN—YET

Later She Will Be, Say Local Leaders Commenting on Interview With New York Alderman —Mord Training Is Needed. By Dorothy Stephenson Is the woman a better officeholder than the man? She isn’t now, say three leading Indianapolis women, but she will be in time.

Yesterday The Times carried an interview with Mrs. Ruth Pratt, New York City alderman, who declared women know more aibout economy in government as result of running a home than men, and defended the right of her sex to hold political office. Indianapolis women have a different view. “Because she may be a good housewife doesn’t make her a good officeholder,” they all say. "Os course, there are certain offices that women can hold better than men,” said Mrc. Edward Franklin White, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, who resides in Indianapolis, “but on the whole men make far better officeholders than women. It is because they understand politics better and are more experienced in that line.” "If a woman is fitted for an office she should have it just as much as a frian,” said Mrs. John W. Kern, widow of the late Senator Korn, "but she should be given the position as a citizen and not as a woman." Mrs. Kern said she believed that there should be no discrimination between sexes, but that efficiency and capability should be the main factors in determining who should hold the office. She said that after a careful study of politics, women will in time make better office holders because of their nature to be more careful and conscientious. Now they are Impeded because of the newness of the responsibility and their lack of proper political knowledge. "If a woman trains for' an office, than she Is the best one for it,” was the statement of Mrs. Edna M. Christian, an active Democratic woman leader. “It Is because she is more conscientious than the man. But one must obtain careful training in ifolitical work. I took subjects in college just to aid myself In that line, for without proper training a woman is a failure in the political world.” Alumni Picks Show Committee Officers of the Princeton Alumni Association and committegfe in charge of arrangements for the Princeton Triangle Club show New Years Eve, are as follows: General committee, George L.

iAD LUCK TO REFUSE MINCE PIE iister Mary Gives Recipe for Modernized Christmas Treat. By Sister Mary Whet* we’re chopping suet and ceding raisins and measuring <pices for our Christmas mince meat it may lighten our tasks to reinem,ier that mince pie was served at •Saxon feasts in pjje-Norman days and smacked of paganism. But the armored knights demand'd their good things to eat even as non do now, and mince pie survived (he vicissitudes of the centuries, becoming involved finally in political ind deligious disputes. Imagine serious debates by the clergy to determine whether or not its members might indulge in mince pie since it was supposed to be of pagan origin: The modern mince meat is quite different from the concoction of the days of our grandmothers. Fifty years ago, mince meat lived up to its name and was actully thick with meat. A few raisins, apples, spices and boiled cider was added to the finely ground meat to give flavor. The mince meat of today, with its nuts, canded fruit, currants, spices and preserves and no meat, would not he accepted by those grandmothers of ours. And so, for the sake of tradition and because it adds to the mixture, I like to add meat to my mince meat. When meat is used, nuts sliohuld be omitted, but the other sweetmeats can be used as desired. Mince Meat Two pounds lean beef, \ pound beef suet. 4 pounds apples, 2 pounds seeded raisins, 1 pound cleaned currants, 1 pound shredded citron, >4 pound candied orange peel, pound candied lemon peel, 2 pounds brown sugar, 2 quarts sweet cider, 1 cup molasses, 1 cup stock, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 nutmet (gratoH. 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground clove, 1 teaspoon all spice. 1 cup preserves, 1 teaspoon allspice. 1 cup preserved cherries or strawberries. Any part of the beef can be used, the heart and tongue are particularly good. -Cook meat in boiling water to cover until tender. Add water as necessary and remove scum. When meat is tender, boil rapidly to reduce stock to about 1 cup. Let meat cool in stock. Remove meat from liquid and carefully take off any hits of fat. bone or gristle. Put lean meat through food chopper and add

There are some rather interesting superstitions about Christmas foods in general and mince pie in particular. To refuse a piece of mince pie at Christmas dinner means that “bad luck" will attend one throughout the year. The apples in the pie portend health and happiness and to eat an apple at midnight on Christmas eve

CHRISTMAS KEPT ALIVm B Y WOMEN Can You Imagine Father Remembering Those to Be Remembered? By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Christmas would not be quite so harrowing If we were not drowned In advice about how to make cunning little, gifts for nothing at home. While everybody takes It for granted that the men need only white checks, wo women are urged to economize where our friends are concerned. They tell us to take old .scraps of silk and construct a hun \red different presents, most of which are useless I'll wager that another million guest towels are being made right now by energetic and economical women, and who on earth ever wanted to use a guest towel? They are entirely too fine for the ordinary grimy face. Made from fine linens and daintily embroidered with for-get-me-nots or lovely little scrolls, they look very pretty but can hardly be called articles of utility because they are not much larger than a good sized pocket handkerchief. Then there are the cushions and fancy garters, thotr sands and thousands of them. Now these things are all very nice and one gets a soft feeling about the heart thinking of all the sweet worn en who sit about during the evening using up their scraps, but the point Is —why should mother work and economize so patiently while father spends with such a lavish hand? Os course, everybody knows, or ought to know, that Christmas is kept alive by the women. If Jt were not for us and our hard-work-ing efforts, poor old Christmas would simply languish and die. Can you imagine father rushing about and remembering everybody who must be remembered? Can you fancy the men as a whole put ting themselves to all the trouble which we take, running their logs off to make this season the most wonderful of the year? But what’s the use of talking? If you are a woman you realize that if it were not for us the men would go back to their natural barbaric conditions. All the beauties of life are in the hands of the women. THEY WON'T FADE Always hang colored clothes In the shade wrongside out and where there is a current of air to dry them quickly if you wish to minimize the possibility of fading.
