Hugh Frayne, formerly di trict organizer for the American Feder ation of Labor in New York City, sat across the table fi r. Gomper! Concerning the proposal that the sur- plus funds raised for the defense of the MeN as be used for the benefit of the families of the twenty-one victims of the dynamiting of the Los Angeles ‘Times Building, Mr. Gompers made this | announcement “The money contributed toward the | defense fund Was transmitted to the at- torneys in amounts of $10,000 until with- in @ day of when they pleaded guilty, | The total sum raised was around $19), 000, which fncludes everything.

BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. There are mothers and mother Wise mothers and hen-mothers. There is the brooding maternal spirit that permite its own life to be eclipsed by the life, of the child, and by so doing hurts the child's individuality and ite own. Such are the henmothers, according to Mre. Jessica Garrison Finch, President of the Equal Fran- chise Society and founder of a school much frequented by fashionable young women. Then there is the wise maternal spirit that feels a bape natural joy in continuing its own life in another, but Greciere saute Mat docs not sink itself in ite children—far better EELE children than come to the hen-mother, whose chicke, Mrs. Finch believes, are very apt to be spoiled. Before Mrs. Finch made her analysis of the mother-spirit she had told the members of the Equal Franchise Society that four children constitute the ideal family. “When the modern mother has reared a family of four children she has done quite as much as her grandmother did When she brought Into the world twelve or fourteen boys and girls,” she said. “Families of eight, ten and even four- teen children were not unusual years ago, when large families were necessary to replenish the world, but two, three or four babies are all we can allow the modern mother. The death rate years Ago was so much greater than {t 1s now that the modern family, in spite of its small number in the beginning, 1s equal to the old-fashioned family in the end. ; DIVIDES WOMEN INTO THREE| CLASSES, AS MOTHERS. It must be admitted thet many women to-day are not as adequate to the care! of their ‘ho: hildren as they United States than in any other country in the world? Throughout history the normal woman has al- ways been self-supporting. The supported woman is an abuormal- ity." “Then we have more abnormal women than any other nation I asked. ‘In the sense that ‘we have more women who give no equivalent for thetr aup- port?" “Yes,” Frs. Finch agreed, “more ab- normal women because more supported women, The amount of leisure that many of our women have is abnormal and drives them te gossip, bridge play- ing and to many other forms of ex- travagance.” “Don't you think the extravagance of idle women is responsible for the fright- ful pace of American business Lfe?" I asked. “That American husbands would should be," tuid me yester-| not need to work so hard and would day, but even w women throw | have more time for thelr homes and themselves heart and soul into thelr children if their wives were not #0 ex- travagant in their demands?" TOO-BUSY FATHER AND THE “HEN-MOTHER.” “I think the extravagance of a certain type of woman is one of the caui of the overworking of husbands and fathers,” Mrs. Finch replied, “Certainly the overworked men as well as our pro- tasks, as mothers and housewives, the) work does not absorb all their time and energy. Household engineering has be-| come so simple, so perfect. With the come w comparatively simple affair. » “So far as motherhood 1s concerned, | women may be divided into three classes.
