w The Sidewalks OMAN’S PAGE. of Washingtori BY THORNTON FISHER. A few years ago men used to have stenographers. The young women took dictation, tickled the keys of a type- writer and answered the telephone. Men no longer have stenographers. No, in- deed. They are called secretaries, and most of them are worthy of the com- paratively recent designation’ ‘The private secretary constitutes a barrier between her boss and the world. Trade and professional endeavor ‘would function less efficiently without her—or him, for there are male secretaries, too. There is a young woman secretary in this city whose employer is a man of genuine importance. He has con- fessed to intimates that his secretary has been Tespon- sible for much of his success during the past two years. She possesses that much-t -desired and yet rare facul- ty for creating within the visitor's or telephone call- er's mind the idea that he or she (the visitor or caller) is the one person in all the world her chief would like to gee and accomo- date. In the art of turning an un- desirable down she is a past master or mistress. Some of the least busy men employ secretaries, That's why they are less busy. During the past few years there has been prestige attached to the pos- session of private secretaries. In some | cases they have little to do save adorn an office and respond to telephone calls. A well known radio team has a secre- tary. For years these men attended to | the details of their business and could do so at present. However, the phycho- logical effect on the caller when he comes in contact with the secretary is amazing. She is familiar with her em- ployers’ fees, and thus is able to trans- act business as well as the principals. Naturally, the visitor is impressed, and the importance of the team is magni- fied. The young woman earns five times her salary for the performers. bl Charity begins at home. This prob- ably explains why so many Washington doorbells are rung by those seeking various means of extracting dimes and nickels. Washington folks are, in the main, charitable and sofi-hearted. The other day two sisters living in Park road heard the strains of a Steel ‘guitar | and a_man’s voice ascending from a | rear alley. Looking over the railing of | a rear porch they saw the singer—and the singer saw them. Immediately he directed his attack at them. Women are more_susceptible than men, as every traveling minstrel with a tenor voice knows. Also he knew that the romantic lamor of Italian songs soothes the !zmlmne eart. He launched into “O | Sole Mio,” and how! One of the young women tossed him & quarter. He raised his hat, pocketed A PAST-MASTER IN those numbers which stir the fancy. Surrounding him in the alley were several white and colored small boys who were more fascinated by the way he played than by the vocal effort. Soon another quarter came spinning from the rear porch. Other residents peered from windows and soon he was receiving requests. He aimed to please just as long as the customers aimed coins. After his concert one of the young women said to a male guest, who chided her because she had given the singer a quarter: “I think it is admirable that a man who may be out of work is willing to go out and try to earn a living that way, I like to help them.” 2 Of course, the man wasn't dut of work. He was using his talents to earn a living the only way he knew. More- over, he works all over the city, and his income would astonish most cf those who contribute to his savings account, * s At least, the singer is earning his money. How different from the able- bedied man who accosted us on E street the other day. Let it be known by all alms-seekers that there is one blade in this town who will not give even a crip- pled cheer to any one who addresses him as “Doe,” “Buddy,” *“Chief” or | “Jack.” The gentleman who apprcached us was fairly well attired. He said, “Doc,” could you give a fella 3 cents for a bowl of soup?”’ We think he meant giggle soup, for his voice was a bit thick and there was a peculiar odor of spirits frumenti. Doubt- | less, less hard-headed folk contributed | something so that he might obtain his bowl of “soup.” * X K In the suburbs of a large city a pros- perous man lived with his family. They attended local social functions, owned a swell car and had a maid. Each morn- ing the man com- muted to the city, sat in the smokar and conversed with his friends and neighbors. Each evening, like a duti- ful husband, he re- turned home for dinner. His life was circumspect and withal sound and® res p ectable, What his business or profession was seemed to be a se- cret. One day the maid, on her day off, went to town, By the merest ac- cident she passed a certain corner where a poor-looking chap in frayed clothes stood with his hat extended. She was about to deposit a coin in the beggar's worn chapeau when she uttered a cryy of astonishment. It was her employer. It is hard to say who was the more flabbergasted at the recognition, H@ was a professional and prosperous beg- gar, living in excellent fashion on the proceeds gleaned from gullible and sym- the money and began another one of pathetic people. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. It does seem like taking candy away from the baby when the doctor insists on_depriving the asthma victim of his pillow, especially when the patient is able to lie down and sleep. Neverthe-, less this is precisely what must be done in certain cases of asthma if the pa- tient hopes to enjoy lasting relief. Not that the comfort of a Pillow or any number of pillows desired i3 bad for asthma. It is the stuff pillows are made of that puts the wheeze in cer- tain cases of asthma. With the exception of a gwindling proportion of the population that still likes being humbugged, people subject to asthma generally know today that the condition is, like hives, caused by a peculiar individual sensitivity to some protein substance that gets into the blood through some avenue other than normal digestion. ‘To indicate this peculiar condition, which gives rise to spasmodic bronchial asthma in some cases, to hives in other cases, to sudden and mysterious diges- tive disturbances readily assumed to be “ptomaine poisoning” in other cases, to hyperesthetic rhinitis in other cases, to giant hives (angioneurotic edema) in other cases, and sometimes perhaps to persistent or recurring outbreaks of eczema, there are several names unfa- miliar to the laity but in common use among physicians. One name is ana- phylaxis, the attack being called an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylactic is the opposite of the familiar word prophylactic, which is preventive or pro- tective—the medical advisers of our dictionary makers are a bit old-fash- joned, and hadn’t heard of anaphylactic When they submitted definitions of pro- | phylactic, or maybe they are just op- timistic. Another term for anaphylaxis is_allergy, another is hypersuscepti- bility, another is atopy. The condition is of great importance, because it is a foundamental part of immupity. ‘There are many legends of queer per- sons who get all fussed up and dis- tressed if they enter a room where there is, say, a cat, even though they do not see the cat. 'Of course, these sensitive souls are actually sensitized to cat hair or dander, and probably suffer an ana- phylactic reaction from inhaling a minute quantity of it on entering the environment of the animal. The source of such maifestation may be & My Neighbor Says: Leaks in the gas pipe should always be repaired promptly. ‘When turning off the gas in lights or heaters be sure it is turned completely off. In serving a poached egg on toast, creamed chicken or fish, it is better to cut the toast in strips or tiny cubes and pile them around the egg or the creamed chicken.

Feather and down pillows became sus- pects long since, hair mattress or up- holstery ‘was later condemned in cer- tain cases, now Dr, Grafton T. Brown finds that even kapok fiber (sometimes inaccurately called “silk floss™) is re- sponsible for asthma in not a few cases. It begins to look as though we shall have to restrict asthma patients to air pillows. ‘We all have troubles, more or less, and we complain of our distress and talk about our pains and aches, and of mis- fortune’s scurvy breaks, and of the crosses we must bear, of heavy loads of grief and care. Today, while seated in the park, I heard a delcgate remark, conversing with another wight, “I never learned to read and write.” I had been ‘weeping in my beard because of troubles dark and weird; I had been groaning in my soul, since I was slightly in the hole | and knew not how I'd raise a groat to’ pay off an impending note. But when I heard that man’s remark my troubles didn’t seem so dark. I thought, “By jings, I can go home and read a high, uplifting pome, forgetting my affictions hard in following the gifted bard. When creditors and bailiffs sail relentlessly upon my trail I can forget them in my booth. I read the story of a sleuth, who tracks the sinner to his doom and I'm divorced from woe and gloom. One can escape mundane ills by reading stuff that's full of thrills. The daily papers come to me with news from far across the sea, from every corner of this land, and with the paper in my hand I don'tre- member that my feet have rheumatism hard to beat. I don’t remember I must pay some silly sort of tax today. I read of all the tragic things befalling cor- oners and kings, of rumored wars on other shores, of bargains in the local stores, of men who will be candidates, of scraps among the heavyweights, of 50 other vitals things, and I forget my smarts and stings. The man " who hasn’t learned to read! He is a luckless gent indeed. He has, no doorway of escape from any evil, haunting shape. He has no chance to get away from life when it is dusty gray. I can endure what llls I have, since books provide a healing salve, but if I couldn't read them more, this life would be too great & bore.” ‘WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1929.)

Onc mother says: My little folks often ltke to help me when I am sewing, so I have found sev- eral little tasks that I allow them to do, and which really do prove to be a help to me. I.use colored basting thread and let them pull it out. They never make a mistake and pull the wrong one, be- cause of it being colored. Whenever they sew they must use their thimbles, for if allowed to sew without them it is very hard to get them to use them when they are older. I give them pretty pieces to sew with, and they make doll clothes out of them. Sometimes they embroider little designs which I have stamped on old sugar or flour sacks. (Copyright, 1929.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Training for Leisure. It is not enough that we train chil- dren to work, to earn a living, to be “successful.” Material success, a_ daily job may be the ruin of a human being, in that it cuts off all spiritual growth. ‘The work of world is to be done by machinery. More and more of the drudgery is handed over to the machine. ‘The hours of labor are shortened and the Jeisure time is growing greater by year. It is the proper use of this leisure time that will save us. We must prepare children to use it wisely and well. Art is the highest expression of the hand and mind. A bit of beauty feeds the soul that would otherwise starve in a material world. What that bit of beauty is to be must depend upon the taste and ability of the one most inter- ested. Music will fill the need of one, color and form will bring joy to another. But the enjoyment of some sort of art, an appreciation of one or many of its phases is essential. A man or woman needs to have some interest apart from his work. If he is to possess that gift when he is old, it must be indicated t& him in childhood. He must be given an epportunity to develop his taste; his power, his gift, whatever it may be, so that in the leis- ure time to come he will find comfort and solace in it. The gifted few can do creative work. To make something lovely not only adds to the joy of the creator but it adds to the sum of human happiness. Suppose it is nothing more than a clay pot. If it was made in sincerity, in joy, it is a thing of beauty and a way that leads out of darkness into iight. The pleas- ure, the uplift a bit of creative work returns to its maker is what makes the difference between a life of gorgeous color and one that is flat and drab and dreary. ‘To know’ beauty when one sees it is an art in itself. The recognition of a fine piece of work, the discovery of a masterpiece gives the soul a thrill that changes the day into a state of trans- cendent bliss. Along with creative work and appre- ciation comes the joy of collecting. Nothing quite equals the transport of a collector when he makes a find. All the trouble of life drops below the level of living which is raised sky high. Food and raiment are as nothing compared to this treasure. To know what is lovely and ‘discover it for one's self and to; make it one’s own? What more could the heart desire? Some measure of this I would crave for every child in the schools. Offer | them a great variety of experiences. Open all the doors of beauty to them and let them enter at will. Flood them with color and music and literature. Make them acquainted with the great songs, with the grand poems, with the majestic prose of the masters. Offer them all,. but insist upon none, for beauty can never be forced into a re- sisting spirit. 3 In this training for leisure there must ever be the atmosphere of leisure. Ap- ( preciation apd culture and power cannot be gained between trains. It must seep in slowly and through the years of growth, so that when maturity arrives the spirit is ready to receive it in beauty. | Make a place of importance for this| training in the child's daily program, for his avocation may be more impor- tant to his ultimate success than.his vocation.

In a separate bowl place enough milk to cover them, thicken with a little flour, add a small lump of butter, season with salt and black pepper, and flavor with dried thyme and marjoram. Turn this over the carrots and cook until thickened. —_— Mint Sauce. Mint sauce to serve with roast lamb or mutton may be obtained for Winter use drying some mint leaves during the Summer, when they are in the best condition, and %klnt them in a jar until half full, n_filling ghe jar up with vinegar. Whek wanted for use pour off some of the vinegar and heat in it some of the dried leaves until they uncurl, then sweeten to taste. DDED HEAT STAR, DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Have Women Lost Men’s Respect in Fight for Equal Rights? Some of the Present Advantages They Enjoy. EAR MISS DIX: ‘What have women gained by their fight for equal rights with men? Have men the same respect for women that they had a gen- eration ago? Do they look up to women now as an ideal of all that is pure and good? I think women have lost more than they will ever gain. In their heerts men hate the modern women and yearn for the simple, home-loving woman of the past who took a pride in her sex and tried to make home what it should be. The sooner women realize that men do not regard them as of old, the sooner they will return to the place they once held. DISILLUSIONED MEN. Answer: What have women gained by their fight for equal rights with men? First of all, and most of all, the right to be considered as human beings, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The right to be free instead of the bound slaves of sex. The right to a say-so in the government under which they live. It is hard, even now, for us to realize what life was for women in the past. Even so much as 50 years ago it was held that it would unsex a woman to teach her geography and women had little education. No matter how brilliant a mind a girl had, she had to content herself with little schooling, and reading such fiub-dub books as were considered proper for a young female to peruse, and if she dared to think and. have original opinions she was simply ostracized. For a girl to have brains was considered an actual deformity and the most blighting crit- ‘ iclsm you could pass upon one was to call her strong-minded. ‘Women have won the right to an education now. Every coll It is no longer a disgrace for a girl to be intelligent. open to them. e door is very ave- nue of intellectual activity is as free to women as it is to men. Their own ability sets the limi profession and art and science. it to their achievements, and women are making good in every ‘Women have won the right to make an honest living. They no longer have to sell themselves in marriage for bread and butter. ‘They no longer need know the horror of dependence, and what this means to women only women them- selves know. Up to within a very few years, as time goes, if 8 woman had no money she had to marry any man who offered himself for her support, or do menial work | for a poor wage, or be the poor relation in some family that didn't want her and that made her know how bitler is another man’s bread and how steep another man's stairs. Now a woman is as free and just as capable of supporting herself as a man is. She does not need to marry unless she finds the man she loves. gloriously independent and live a full, independent, useful life. She can be And these are some of the things that women have won in their fight for equal rights with men. As for men not having the respect for women that they used to have, that is antique hokum. Men respect women more today than they have ever done because women have earned their respect and because it is only our equals we respect. We look down upon our inferiors. The man of the past used to patronize the ignorant little girl who asked his opinion about everything, and who hadn’t an idea in her head or a scrap of information except how to purl one and drop two in knitting and the best way of making preserves, but he has to respect the girl who has made as good a grade in college as he did and who graduated at the top of her elass. The man | of the past may have thought it pretty and cute for a girl not to know enough to add two and two together, and who thought'the bulls and bears on Wall Street took part in an annual circus, but he has to respect the girl who holds down a good job and earns as much money as he does. And there is a lot of nonsense talked about the chivalry of the past. True, there was more hand-kissing and picking up handkerchiefs, but in those chival- rous days, when men were supposed to protect women so ardently, a man took every nickel of his wife’s property on their wedding day and refused to give women the right to earn a living. And now men have passed laws to secure their wives’ property to them, and they give women an equal show in life on equal terms. So to my thinking the modern man is the most chivalrous man the world jhas ever known. for men clamoring for women who are simple and homé-loving and shrinking violets such as their grandmothers used to be, , I don't know where you will find them. Men's taste in women has altered and it is the go-getter girl who gets the men now, not the stay-at-home girl. All of which merely means that the world has changed and women with it, and they make just as good wives and mothers as they ever did. So don't be afraid to take a chance on one. DOROTHY DIX. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Where Are the Stakes ? ‘There are women' who cannot sjt down to a game of anything from bridge to parchesi without asking what the stakes are. In other words, if they do not gamble, they derive no enjoy- ment from the game., We pity such Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. If you have a large wall space in a bedroom which requires a plece of fu: niture, but are not in the mood for spending much money on it, try making an ordinary dry goods box do the work. In the illustration is shown a combi nation bookcase and dressing shelf. ‘The ends, top and bottom of the box, together with the back, have been pre- served and cut down to a narrow width. Two shelves have been installed in the interior and a curtain rod put across the top, just underneath the shelf, Each shelf was then partitioned into three spaces, the centers being used for books and the outside ones for shoes, cosmetics, etc. The curtains should be wide enough to meet in the center and put on the rod with rings large enough to allow them to slip back and forth easily. The box may be stained or. painted to match®the woodwork, and the curtains should harmonize with the general color scheme of the room. women, but we strive, as a rule, to avold their soclety. Gambling, like many other human diversions, is a habit, and it is a per- niclous one. Once in its grip, there is little one can do in life with any pleasure if one does not gamble. There are women who must bet on their golf game, and if they crocheted doubtless they would bet on the number of stitches they éould take i an hour. Aside from any moral scruples one ‘may have, there are some good = nomic reasons why one should not gam- ble. In the first place, it is an unpro- ductive use of money; duces spendthrift or wasteful habits thirdly, it tends after a while to destroy any normal ideas one may have had of the value'of money. The average woman cannot afford to gamble. She is allowed a specified sum to run her house, and it does not allow for gambling. If she gambles and loses she must either stint herself or starve her family, Even the unmarried woman cannot or should not gamble for economic reasons. Whatever surplus earnings she may have should be invested. Without any other means of support, she must be particularly provident for her future. Gambling leads to debts in the case of the majority of women who gamble. How can they pay those debts? By gambling still further or for increas- ingly higher stakes. Pinally they arrive at a point when they face ruin or where their husbands become seriously em- barrassed. ‘Whenever a woman sits down to play a game for money she should re: son | along these lines: T am obviously playing for money. Iam depending on luck and skill to favor me. If I really wish to increase my fortune, would it not be more sensible to be engaged in some gainful occupation where my efforts would be rewsrded with adequate re- muneration? ‘We feel that if women would analyze the reasons underlying their playing for stakes and the reasons why it is un- economic, if nothing else, they would soon quit bridge tables for desks, coun- ters and other places of employrgent. ‘The desire for more money may be perfectly reasonable. Why not, then, satisfy it in a reasonable way? Why Jeopardize one’s home and happiness by indulging in a pernicious pastime? If one has time to waste at gambling, she has time to put to a productive use. “IT KEEPS ME LOOKING FRESH AT ALL TIMES"' writes 1532 Vyse Avenue Bronx, N.

Nancy knew that she would have little time to devote to Christmas shopping orice they moved into their new home. It be- hooved her, therefore, to get as much done as possible before the moving day arrived. She looked at her list. For a number of friends she wanted to give something pe&mnnl. something she had made her- self. She had achieved quite a reputation for shopping bags made of felt. She planned a number of these. Then she wanted to make a felt wall hanging of a Noah's Ark. | A few guest-room towels of round- | | thread linen and with hemstitched bor- | ders would do for two or three friends. g She planned these towels in sets of four or five, all of the same size but each one being a different color. Then she had a hooked rug on her mind, and before long she had one on a frame. Her sister-in-law was fitting up the third floor of her home as a study. It had quaint, old-fashioned paper, wicker furniture painted black, book- shelves lining the walls.. She decided on a cherry.rug. She drew the pattern she wanted and used it as a repeating motif. The rug was hooked with strips of worn-out silk stockings and .jersey silk underwear. It was soft and effec- tive, and Nancy liked it so well she knew she would hate to part with it when Christmas came near.

Carbon-copy men are ordinarily called “yes men,” a name which carries with it the idea of weakness ®omewherw. This idea of weakness is often a mis- taken judgment. Some of the strong- est men I have ever met are “yes men.” They will stick to the status quo in spite of all reason and even ultimate profit. This takes courage at times. I have known: “yes men” with the most liberal of educations, with charming personali- tles, who might in the shuffi¢ of any set of cf tances stand out as strong individuals. . A “yes man” is not weak until he re- alizes what he is. Sometimes it takes | years for him to make that important discovery. Not one in a thousand sees | himself as others see him. The reason he is a “yes man” is that constitutionally he abhors change and variation. Ei takes pride in being like the people w=u are at the head of things. Why does the *“yes man” nod solemnly to every pronouncement of his superiors, regardless of their asininity, evasion or downright meanness? Why | does he imitate their very dress and | language? Or of his clique? | The weakness of the “yes man” goes back, not to some inability to be diffe:- | ent from his group, but to a desire w have his group around him at all times. He figures rightly that in union there is strength and safety. He is looking 1o the day when all the individualists shall have died from dlfler?;lces of opinion. Nine times out of ten he guesses righs. Human nature is more pack-mindea than most people think it is. Most mea would rather be one of the hounds thau the hare. In that sense we are all “yes men,” more or less. Of course, there are differences among “yes men.” Some, for instance, make a virtue out of their weakness. Unable to think even with the pack, they take on the carbon-copy face to save them- selves. In such cases the common sense hing to do is to go ahead and be This sort is more to be | pitied than censured. They suffer from curaphobia—the desire to avoid re- sponsibility. TH’INGB British are the main topics of conversation in Washington at present because of the Ramsay Mac- donald visit. h({g‘ 3 tmmg shelf o :zorluh 4 has been rought one cen- tering around Speaker Nick Lony h and a visiting British journalist — one that does credit to that popular ra- conteur and 80 much like him that it rings true, It seems that the journalist desired an “audience” with Speaker Nick. He had planned to re- main in Washing- ton only a week, but said that he would remain over if Longworth would “receive” him. A Washington correspondent Wwas ifi;fild who agreed to arrange it for “Come on up to Capitol Hill and let's see what we can do,” said the news- paper man, Arriving at the Speaker's room, the ‘Washington newspaper man walked in unannounced with his guest. Long- worth was lounging in an easy chair smoking a cigar. “This is Mr. Blank,” he said. “He wants an interview. How about it?” “Shoot,” replied the Speaker. Rather nonplussed, the Londoner paused long enough to get his second wind, and proceeded to extract an ex- cellent interview. Things went splen- didly until he propounded one particu- lar question—the answer to which he is still pondering. “I have read in the reports of Con- gress,” he said, “that quite often the House indulges in ‘general debate.’ I. think we have no such thing in our House of Commons. What is ‘general debate,” Mr. Speaker?” “ ‘General debate,’ in our House,” re- plied Longworth, ‘is the occasion upon which the sweet singer sings his songs.” “Sweet _singer, Mr. Speaker? Sweet singer. What is a sweet singer?” “A sweet ginger—well—T'll tell you. He is & good deal like the water goes over the dam—makes a hell of a racket, but has nothing to do with the grinding of the grist.
