Give the Unwanted Child His Rights! “Illegitimate” Should Have No Place in Language. Help the Mothers and Punish Those Who Scorn Them and ' Condone Men’s Misdeeds. By Sophie Irene Loeb. Dopyright, 1922 (New York Evening World), by Press Publishing Company. 'N tho last few days before the pub- lio are the cases of two mothers— mothers of unwanted children. Ono ®f these young women, who ts said to have left her baby in a swamp to @ie and who has since given birth to another, hugs the abandoned child lose to her heart, now that she has found it again. ‘The dper mother, who thought she fas marricd and then found herself unwedded, was rescued in time from drowning herself and her baby. Where are the men in both of these cases? Scot- free! The women have borne the brunt of the bur- den. In the wordsof the latter mother: “I was going to find a bit of rope and tie the baby fast to my breast before L jumped, and then there wouldn't be any chance that he would be saved to be an orphan in @ world where he wasn't wanted.” The other wronged woman is de- scribed by her mother as follows: crying “She was a hard-working girl, and So good-hearted! Many nights she has done my work after her own was finished and has done all kinds of little things to save me. "She adored her baby and saved and scraped and worked to get enough money to board and clothe it. We were up against the same old problem always. It was unbearable the way the people in town treated us. I don't want my child to live in @ small town any more, I wish I didn't have to live in one myself. “T don't want people to believe she left her child to die in a swamp. I know she couldn't have done that. She doesn’t know anything about New York and she was suffering so much then that we didg’t know at the time she left home whether she would live to see her new baby.” Oh, the tragedy of it al human being in the world bears the cross and pays the penalty it is such women. Not only do they have the physical torture of bringing the child into the world, but the added mental suffering of knowing that the man in whom they trusted has left them in their misery. And then that is not enough, They have to face the peopie—the com- munity that puts the brand of “ille- gitimate’” the baby and makes the mother's life a living hades be- TN, ~ GOING DOWN! EAR AMBITIOUS ONE; There are about 400 mill- jonaires in this coun- try and the reason they ac- quire so much wealth is b cause they did something bet- ter than the other fellow. If you wish to advance your- self and get more pay, you must do better work. That statement is the simple as- jertion of a fact. When you go to business to-morrow, or the next time, make this reso- lution: ‘I am going to ao things better and better.”’ With this thought in mind you cannot neip impraving your work, At the same time READ. You can easily get books that will improve your mind and make you able to converse on the subjects of the day. A weekly magazine will also aid you in knowing what is going on in the world.

When, oh when, will we wake up and purge ourselves of such perni- clous prejudices? When, oh when, will we take the word “illegitimate” away from the ehild who has done nothing but come into the world unasked as any other child? If there ts such a thing, it is the parents who are illegitimate. When, oh when, will wo find the father and mako him pay equally with the mother? ‘Too lax are wo in the laws and too prone are we to let the mother pay the price in full and with usurious in- terest—interest that tears at her very heart's blood. Haye you ever stopped to realize what a brave spirit it is that goes through with such a thing and with- stands the temptation of suicide? For it is 4 great temptation, the greatest of any in such circum- stances. Well might a girl finding herself in such a position take some credit for the courage that makes her face the facts and narrow-minded people. Hers is not unlike the fortitude of the martyrs—for she is a martyr—a martyr to a love that has failed and a crisis that has to be faced. Heaven pity how legitimate or illegitimate they are, They suffer the the fame tribula- tions. But for the should be some sides scorn and gers. I would like to make a would put behind the who would dare to call a child “ill gitimate” give pain to such child, There is no more reason why uch a person should not be made to pay the full penalty of his crime, for it a erime, than for him to give “mental anguish” to any other being, and he can be brought to the courts for that: The world can only get better—you and I will only become bigger—as we have a broader and more human at- titude toward the unwanted child né fear of the narrow-minded is we condone the offense there children, What rot! What woman wants to face a situa- tion like this? Neither will our re- pellent, straight-laced outlook act as u deterrent on such occurrendes. But what we can do to save sorrow and suffering is to cultivate the right spirit toward such a mother and her child and give her the hand that re- assures and the aid she needs in her darkest hour. If we teach such mothers and chil- dren that the milk of human kindness forever flows, then we will have truly carried out the patience and the piety of the great Nazarene, who forgave with “Go thy way and sin no me and who said: "Suffer little children to come unto me.” There was no such word as ‘illegit- imate’ Let us do away with it in connection with the unwanted child! mothers, no matter same sorrows, trials and the same unwanted child, there something be- pointing of fin- hope, the law that a person bars or a is that will be more suc! in His vocabulary Give Mother a Vacation ican If She Won’t Go Away for a Rest, Make Her House- work Easier, By Emilie Hoffman. Copyright, 1922 (New York Tivening World), ‘by’ Press Publishing Company 3 many households the mother ts the one member of the family who is overlooked when it comes to a vacation. ‘This devoted Individ- ual never seems to find a convenient time to get away. She must sew for the girls and assist them in getting ready for their vacation; then she cannot leave the boys, who must find a good dinner awaiting them after work; there would be no one to put up the lunches and she has yistons of the indigestion that would surely follow a restaurant diet; Tom would never get to work on time if mother was not there to awaken him, and so on, one excuse after another. A mother so intensely interested in the welfare of her family would not enjoy a vacation anywhere unless she had her family with her, but why not give her a vacation at home? Any mother who serves her family so faithfully throughout the year de- serves their consideration during the warm summer time. It may mean a little sacrifice on thetr part, but this would be merely a just compensation for the many sacrifices she 1s contin- ually making, and if mother went on a real vacation the home comforts would be materially lessened. Why not appreciate this? In the first place, see that mother's work is reduced to the minimum. In- sist upon her turning the entire family washing and ironing into other hands. If she cannot be persuaded to do this, as isthe way with some mothers, tell her you will make a picnic of the summer meals; buy one of those prettily decorated doily sets or a tablecloth that need just be wiped with a damp cloth after each meal. Use paper napkins—those of heavy linen texture with hemstitched edgc are really good looking and service- able. One housewife who considers her- self during the hot weather has in- stalled paper towels for ordinary use. In this way she has only the bata towels in the weekly wash, and these do not require ironing. By eliminat- ing the table linen and the hand towels the laundry work is consider- ably reduced. Assure the good woman you do not care for home-baked bread, pies and cakes duging the summer and that you prefer light desserts. Urge her to serve fresh fruits and tell her you would like ice cream for dessert once a week. ‘This will mean at least one hour's work less each day, to say nothing of the heat discomfort of a hot Kitchen that she will be spared if you want hot meals in the sum- mer, why not buy a fireless cooker for mother? If cannot find a woman to release her from the weck ly cleaning, vacuum cleaner will help greatly Of course, this will mean extra ex- pense, but is not your own yacation an extra expense? This is @ ueces- sity to you? Well, how about mother, who puts in fifty-two weeks every year at faithful and unselfish service? Would it not be a good idea to give her some relaxation during the warm she weathier-—just to show you appreciate her service? Help her in every way to make these weeks easy for her and it will do her as much good as a going-nway vacation. It means a financial strain?

Re- member that is a better bleach than 1 and that the success of washing depends more on thorough than anything else. Clothes which have a gray or yellow appearance may have been well wash- ed but show that the rinsing was not sufficient and properly done. Also bear mind that soonest washed is easiest cleansed! If you spill something on your sum- mer skirt, little Willie gets fost of his ice cream cone on his romper, the thing to do ts to treat it to am in- stant bath and not let it le around until the stain and grease permeate the material and possibly raise a fine growth of mold which will be four times as difficult to remove as when the garment is washed instantly. Never make the mistake of throwing a damp or sweaty garment into tho laundry basket and letting it lie there sunshine any chemic rinsing the. frook or until the next wash day, One damp towel thrown among the _ other pieces will become odorous and con- taminate the entire contents of ‘the basket, making it doubly difficult to wash. Always allow a damp piece or garment to dry ‘before throwing into the basket if it cannot be washed at once The id plan for many feminine belongings, small towels and chil- dren's articles is to give them a wash bow! dip every night. This prevents perspiration from rotting the fabric or discoloring it. It is surprising how eusy it is to follow out the plan of instantly washiny small pieces in bow! or bathtub so that they will not need to be part of the regular wash, Every detached house with floor space should have a washing machine as much as it has a range or a refrig- erator.
