Marriage Shouldn’t Bar Women From Jobs

By Mrs, SUSAN W. FITZGERALD,

President Massachusetts Polit' ical Equality Union

WOMEN are "hideously hampered in professional work by having to bother about the care of their clothes and all sorts of details that a man has never had to think of. If a man .had to get his own breakfast and dinner and wash out handkerchiefs and things at night he wouldn’t like it much. A professional woman ought to be saved all that and have her nervous strength conserved for her work. It would be quite nice for her to have a HUSBAND TO HAVE HOT CHOCOLATE READY FOR HER when she came home, to take her wraps and perform various little services for her. It would save her a lot—just as a wife saves her husband —and be a good, comfv job for him. He would be BETTER THAN A MERE MAID because more demoted. " * *■ AS TO THE MARRIAGE QUESTION, IT IS NO BUSINESS OF ,THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL—WHICH HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT IF ANY OR ALL OF THE THREE WOMEN PHYSICIANS ON THE BOARD OF HEALTH MARRY SUCH AN ACT WILL BE CONSIDERED EQUIVALENT TO A RESIGNATION—OR OF ANY ONE ELSE WHETHER A WOMAN IS MARRIED OR SINGLE. THAT IS JUST AS MUCH A PERSONAL MATTER AS THE CHURCH A WOMAN BELONGS TO, THE DAIRY SHE PATRONIZES OR THE FACT THAT SHE HAS A GRANDMOTHER.

Women’s Present Dress Violation of Seventh Commandment

By Rev. Dr. GEORGE ASHTON OLDHAM, Episcopal Clergy,

AM, Episcopal Clergyman, New York

1N walking down Fifth .avenue, New York, these spring days, you see worse spectacles than in a second class vurietv performance ten years ago. MUCH OF THE PREVAILING STYLE OF WOMEN’S DRESS IS A VIOLATION OF THE SPIRIT OF THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT ITS VULGAR SEX APPEAL REPRESENTS A REVERSION TO A LOWER TYPE, MORE COMPATIBLE WITH A PRIMITIVE AND DECADENT ERA THAN WITH TWENTI ETH CENTURY CHRISTIAN ENLIGHTENMENT. This style of dress bids fair to rob both sexes of that (modest reserve which is the sfifeguard cf moral i tv.

MEDIATORS SPURN CARRANZA ENVOY TO PEACE PARLEY

Unofficial Delegate Will Not Be Given Hearing at Niagara. LETTERS ARE REQUIRED Full Authority to Participate in Proceedings Is Demanded—Envoys Hold Conference That Lasts Until Early Morning. Niagara Falls., Ont., May 22. —At a conference of the mediators lasting from midnight until after one o’clock this morning the matter of the procedure In the event that a constitutionalist envoy asked to become a party unofficially to the mediation proceedings was discussed. The mediators decided that they could not admit such a representative. Their position is that any constitutionalist delegate must come as the other parties to the conference have come, with proper letters of credence, empowering him to participate fully in the negotiations. Rebels Ready to Send Delegate. Washington, May 22. —The constitutionalists are preparing to send a representative to Niagara Falls to confer with the South American mediators who are endeavoring to settle the Mexican problem. This will be done with the distinct understanding that the representative is to give information as to General Carranza’s purposes without committing thg constitutionalists to any plan for the pacification of Mexico that the mediators may determine upon. Jose Vasconcelos, now at Montreal on a financial mission for General Car ranza, is understood to be the man chosen to go to Niagara Falls. It was said by men in close touch with, the constitutionalists that he would arrive there within the next few days. The question of taking this step has been the subject of several informal conferences between representatives of the constitutionalists and of the Washington administration recently, and it is understood that General Carfanza has given his consent. Government officials here have urged that the presence; of a representative of the constitutionalists would greatly assist in bringing about a solution of the Mexican question. Secretary Bryan, John Lind and Charles A. Douglas, an attorney for the constitutionalists, held a conference and Governor Lind met Senor Urquidi, the constitutionalist confidential agent?* here. Later Senor Zuburan, a member of the Carranza cabinet, now in Washington, Senor Urquidi and Mr. Douglas had a long conference,

Mediators Meet Mexicans. Niagara Falls, Ont., May 22. — Immediately after the receipt of press dispatches from Washington telling of the intention of the constitutionalists to send a representative here the three mediators went into informal conference shortly before midnight to discuss the new developments. The Huerta delegates who also had been unofficially informed of the constitutionalists’ intention to send a representative here later joined the mediators in conference. They were in session long after midnight. A feeling of optimism was observed on all sides. The mediators held what they preferred to call a “conversation” between themselves and the Mexican delegates during the afternoon. “The is hopeful,” was the statement made by one of those participating in the mediation conferences. The tentative purpose of the mediators to establish a provisional government in Mexico seems to have found no opposition from the Mexican representatives. Problem Grows Larger. The events of the past two days, in spite of the restrictions that have surrounded disclosures concerning them, have served to Indicate that the mediators are proceeding in the hope that they will be able to adjust Mexico’s internal problems and not merely regard their mission as ended if they furnish a satisfactory solution for the differences between the Huerta government and the United States growing out of the arrest of an American naval officer and a boat’s crew of American bluejackets at Tampico. The Washington government nas made it sufficiently clear that the quarrel between the Wilson administration and that of President Huerta has passed beyond the state where the object of the landing of the United States forces at Vera Cruz will have bpen accomplished if General Huerta agrees to order a salute fired to the Stars and Stripes in reparation for the Tampico incident. > The mediators and the American and Mexican delegates were the guests of Martin Burrell, Canadian minister of agriculture, at an official dinner to the distinguished visitors on behalf of the Canadian government.

SPANIARDS IN PERIL

VILLA THREATS AGAINST FOREIGNERS AROUSE NATIONS. Madrid’s Ambassador Requests Secretary Bryan to Save His Countrymen From Rebel. Washington, May 22.—-The Mexican situation presents one of the gravest possible developments. The danger lies in General Villa's sweeping threats of vengeance against all Spaniards who might fall into, his hands, it raises an ominious international question which no leniency on the part of the American government can solve satisfactorily. The deep significance of this problem was presented to Secretary Bryan by Senor Riano, Spanish ambassador, who was stern when he called at the state department. When he left Mr. Bryan’s office his excitement was evident. The state department has put its machinery into motion to discover the whereabouts of a person described as a messenger of Admiral Fletcher, who disappeared more than a week ago from Vera Cruz. Juarez, Mexico, May 22.—Saltillo has been evacuated by the 12,000 federate under Gen. Joaquin Maas, according to an official message received by the local junta here from Gen. Philipe Angeles, constitutionalist minister of war. One "last ditch” battle, fought by the federate with their backs against a wall, will conclude the present revolutionary movement, according to the constitutionalist authorities here. WueretaTo, twice famed as the spot where periods of unrest have been concluded in Mexico, is the place they declare will mark the end of the Huerta regime.
