DISAPPOINTED WITH POSITION OF WOMEN IN UNITED STATES Don't Keep a Maid Because Ser- vants Are Too Troublesome Observes Dutch Professor x The~Hague,.

Dr. Westerdyk was disappointed with the position of the American woman. “In speaking of America,” she said, “we are accustomed to ima- gine that conditions everywhere there resemble those in New York. But ‘New York is much more European. In the small university towns in the west and the east things wear quite a different aspect. It is true that the married woman is less bound by do- mestic life. She does not have to be at home in the:atgernoom to get idin- ner ready. But, on the other hand, a Professor's wife has a very busy life without a servant in the house. For all have their own house, and many their own car, which they drive them- selves, but they don’t keep a maid be- cause ‘gervants are too’ troublesome. “The, American woman sees to it that «Je ‘does not become @ house drudge, neither is hei the sfayg, of her children. Further, she gets some help from her husband. ‘But one has the feeling in dining with her. that, one. is givi ’ Social Intercours But what had struck Dr. Westerdyk most of, all was that the social inter- course ‘between the sexes was far from being so free and unfettered as in Holland. Her men colleagues, for instance, thought that she might not lodge in the same hotel, nor enter a restaurant with. them, and that she could hardly be with them in the Uni- versity unless other women were present. At the Botanical Society.no women were admitted. She was used to so different a condition at botani- cal congresses that America, with its reputation of a paradise for women, had greatly disappointed her.

ME LUD,” THE WATER. WAGON WATTS WITHOUT Indications That Uncle Sam Will: Board Merry Craft No} Later Than Midsummer (Special Dispatch.) Washington, D. €., May 2.—The war may put Uncle Sam on the water ‘wagon. ; It ia got improbable that August 1 Or perhaps July 1, wif find the manu- ' facture of alcoholic beverages under the ban. In fact, the question of putting the United: States on a@ prohibition basis for the-period of the: war is the one- to which the administration will turn its chief attention as soon as the army bill is enacted. The question, as it is considered in administration ‘circles, is not one of prohibition for prohibitien’s sake. It is simply wheth€r the people of the United States and i en allied na- tions shall eat or shall drink. The Grain That Goes Into Booz Each barrel of beer produced take: nearly two bushels .6f grain now vital- ly needed. for food purposes. €ach gallon of whisky distilled re- quires: almost one bughel:of grain: ‘With the world’s reserves of food- stuffs lower than ever -before, with millions of men on; battle line who’ must be fed but who can produce nothing. and with many more millions engaged in the industrial, processes of war and who must. be fed, the prob- lem ‘of food conservation is the’ big- gest’ one in the world -today—bigger even than the war itself, for authori- ties agree it bids fair to determine the result of the war, bbur ¢ Last year 99,748,603 bushels of grain were used in the production of dis- tilled spirits, alone in the United; States. But the consumption of firatn in’ Gis- : tilling high proof spirits was consid- erably less than one-third of the grain used ‘or all alcoholic drinks. More than 90,250,000 bushels were used in brewing the 58,633,624 barrels of beer we produced last year. In round num- bers, 130,000,000 bushels of grain, worth more than $150,000,000, were used in the manufacture of alcoholic beveragés. Hoover Is for Total Prohibition. The whole matter of food conserva- tion will quickly be brought to a focus with the return from Europe of Her- bert C. Hoover, who has been in charge of food distribution in Belgium, but who is on his. k to the Unitéd States at Preal (Wilson's request, to:act as director of Uncle Sam's food conservation work. At'a meeting of the Council of Na- tional ‘Defense shortly after the break with: Germany, Hoover declared that ‘sands from biscults as much as.bullets would win ‘the war.
