DOMESTIC PRACTICE . . HOUSE IS PLANNED Innovation ‘it Nation-Wide Move- ment to Train House Servants Launched Hore. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SOUGHT Promoters Propose to “Glorify Service” and “Dignify Profession.” “A Practice House for Domestic Workers" 1s thé latest fnnovation in a nation-wide movement launched here to fevolutionize the eharacter of coloredl @omestic service. Already suitable property has been purchased at 1116 Rhode Islan@ ave- nue nofthwest to be converted into the practice house. Every household in Washington employing domestic workers will be asked to contfibute $1 toward the preject, which is eal- culated not only ta benefit the em- ploye, but the employer as well. The National Association of Wage Earnets, Inc, with Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of this city as president, is behifd the movement. It has elic- fted the approval, encouragement and co-oparation of TAny socisty leaders of thig city. Miss Burroughs is presi- dent of the National Training School for Women and irls and & leader in movements for the betterment of the colored people. Practice House Planned. The practice house s planned not only as a place where women may be improved in efficlency, habits and dress, but where there may be kept an emergency help regikter, where capable women who do fot work out regularly may be enrolled and be available for special occasions “when the cook, laundress, waitress or other help does not report for werk. This will save thousands of homes from being thrown out of mear.” “Colored women have taken an im- portant step for the improvement of their economic life and the removal of the general chatge of inefcienc =aid Miss Burroughs, The commend- able thing about it is that they are Dot starting a charity. The movement will be of as much benefit to white people as it will be to colored people. { For that reamon they should have the co-operation of those who want efficient, better-mannered and more sensibly dressed housemaids.” 115 Rhode Ixland avenue northwest, headquarters of the on of Wage E BOOTLEGGER HIRES PRISON SUBSTITUTE Californian’s Ruse Detected When Guard Recognizes.
