Firemen have been in that class. It is only seven years since firemen were required to put in 21 hours a day at their posts. It was only after @ strenuous battle for votes that the double platoon was established here. That was progress—progress that had been long delayed. And it is progress again that gives the firemen their one day off in seven. It will cost the city of Seattle more in money than it will other cities who do not act as humanely, but we will get more out of it in human contentment. ‘ At any rate, the allies had the fun of discussing what they would like to do with Turkey. The United States department of agriculture, which as- ssumes a sort of grandfatherly cure of housewives, has is- sued a bulletin advising American husbands to tell their | wives everything and asking answers on “What do women want to know?” : : Here’s where we help that nice little Washington depart- ment out.

Is the wife or the husband head of the house, when it @emes to a clinch? Should husband eat the cold left-over toast, or should it go to the hens?

By diligent search a number of women can be found who have answers to them and every answer will look cute in the depart-| ment’s Bulletin. Lane says Washington is rich in brains.
