SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 How To Save The Maidless Home Women of the Housewives' Leagues, club women, and individual home- makers are agitated about the effect upon the:home of the scarcity and high cost of domestic service. What is to be done, in the face of all the difficulties of the situation, to keep the home intact, to prevent a whote- sale exodus ef families from the house or apartment into the family hotel? How are children to be brought up in the proper home atmosphere if servants are not to be had to keep the household machinery functioning smoothly? This is a serious phase of the do- mestic help problem. American life will suffer untold harm should there be any considerable letting go of the home ideal and the heme relation-: ship. There are too many enemiss to the domestic life to make it safe to introduce another of a serious) nature. How to prevent this blow is the problem that the. homemaker has to face as she views a maidless kitchen and dallies with the tempta- tion to put it all behind her by tak- ing rooms in a hotel. There is a real remedy, however, and it lies already within the hands of the home makers themselves. It is the simplification of the family life to the minimum with the consequent 'release of the family head from the administration of a complex system] to the performance of the simple duties. This, together with the utiliz- ation of such outside helps as are] to be had in every city, offers a way out, maintains the home and creates independance the domestic vant. The elimination of noen-essentials, a revision of values, the into the household regime of a busi- ness-like system and purposeful ef-1 fort, thought, mterest, and | ability, these are the requirements of the housewife and home maker who would turn the lack of service in the home into a means of bringing the family life back to the funda- mentals and wring a gain from what has been too widely accepted as a calamity. of ser-| introduction energy Paying The Fiddler Paying the fiddler is not a pleasing pastime. After the dancing is over, the spirit that made it all seem worth while has pretty well spent itself and the formality of paying for the fun is irksome. The day is at hand when the whole world is having to pay the fiddler for "the extravagance of indulgence in the barbarity of war, the proportion in which the several nations pay depending upon the degree with which they may impose the respons- | ibility of settlement upon another nation. In this Germany has been entirely unsuccessful, of course, and hers will be the heaviest portion of the fiddler's fee. Besides war debt which is, no doubt, as heavy as that of any of the other belliger- ents, Germany will have to pay all she promised to pay in the armistice her own agreement and in subsequent con- ventions, and must, besides, make good the loss sustained when the interned Germau fleet was sunk 'in Scapa Flow. It is a dead weight that the Ger- many of the next generation and the next as well, will have to. carry, but | for your machine, if reports that come in as to in- dustrial conditions there are to be relied upon a start is being made to- wards its removal. In Germany there seems to be realization that the only way to secure industrial and commercial prosperity is for every- body to work, to produce the ma- terials that their own people need and that the rest of the world will buy and to begin to build up the markets that were lost by the war. It would be a good thing for the rest of the nations of the world if there were a more general apprecia- tion of the basis of a resumed pros- perity. Increased production is the answer to the problem with which every country is struggling in the effort to get back to a normal plane of living costs and to secure the money with which the war fiddler is to be paid. It isn't to be had by shortening hours of employment and increasing wages. It will come only by work. Send Them Home The men who have sought out and | found the agitators, to whom at least | a portion of the unrest of the present time is due, deserve the thanks of the | people of the United States and the | support of the authorities upon whom | rests the responsibility of seeing that justice is done the agitators. It is of little use to hunt down and to arrest unless there is prompt and ef-! ficient carrying on of the processes | of justice. | Practically none of these Red agi-| tators are American citizens. The ! United States has no power to punish them in the way their offenses merit | but there is the authority to send | (them back to the country from which seven innings, Fastman poling five they came and this authority should he employed at the very earliest pos- | sible moment, both for the sake of clearing this country of their pres-| ence and of impressing upon others of their kind the fact that the hos-| pitality of the United States is no! longer extended to those who ac-| cept it only to abuse it. | It would be bad enough if we could feel that any large measure of' the] discontent that has been manifested, in the United States were the result] of conditions here. But to know that the whole people of the] nation are to be called upon to suf- fer under the effects of that discon-| tent just the mischief making of the few radicals who have come here solely for that purpose is hard to bear with patience. No time should be lost in taking the neces- sary steps to remove these trouble-| some persons from the country which living because of they have used for their evil pur- poses. Thanksgiving November finds us this year lack- that high sense of gratitude that had last vear to serve as a basis our thanksgiving. In the case of the great mass of the people things might be much better than they are, ing we i and they are sure that their troubles are the fault of some one, just whom they are unable to say. Few are as well off as they expected to be a year | after the war's end. | But Thanksgiving this year is really a time for giving thanks. There is much that is hopeful in our situa- tion, much that is promising for the future. Where we have failed tof i realize the promises of a year ago, we have failed also to have to meet] evil conditions that have had to be met by other countries. We are settling back into peace conditions with rather less disruption than Eng-| land and Italy. We may well be thankful that things are as well with us as they are and, if there should be a movement of the Congress to- wards meeting the problems of the peace treaty with a mind to settle them, shall have reason to be more than ordinarily grateful. we "SLIPPED A COG" Somebody "slipped a cog" and "of- ficially" informed the Winnetka Weekly Talk that Tuesday had been designated as Winnetka Day for driv- ing w=unded Fort Sheridan men about the north shore in our limou- sines.

GIANTS AND SOX --- rr Parent Teacher Activities COP LEAGUE TILTS Harry Anderson Hurls Former Team To 18-9 Win; Nash Cazel Pitches Way to Second Victory of Season The third evening in the indoor league at the Community House Wednesday resulted in easy victories for the Giants and Sox, the former defeating the Cubs 18-9 and the latter subduing the Reds 22-9. The Giants took the lead early in the first game and kept it during the entire pastime. Stellar fielding by Dahl in center and splendid battery work by Harry Anderson and "Son- ny" Albright were the features of the contest. "Sonny" caught his first game behind the bat for this season vhile Harry pitched his first game. Harry pitched a wonderful game and pitched splendidly when in the holes. His mate caught several foul tips on his stomach that brought the balcony crowd to its feet. Dahl caught sev- eral flies off the wall in the field which helped Harry considerably as the catches came when they were! badly needed. The hitting of Runnfelt of the Giants and Ilg of the Cubs were features. Pete Lucchesi, who had been in possession of a perfect bat- ting average for the first games was hitless. The second tussle was an easy win for Nash Cazel. Nash: didn't pitch the brilliant game he hurled last dicated good work. As usual Fritz Fckart caught a good ame behind the plate. Flossie Voltz was the! losing hurler for the Reds and would | have won his game with good sun- | port. His catching and outfield de-! partments were weak at critical times. The Sox only played seven men during the game which went only] hits in seven trips to the plate. Wood and FEckart are both credited with four. John Dethloff sprang another surprise by garnering two wallops. off Cazel's delivery both of them com- ing with men on. the bases. ; ; The standing of the teams in the Fall (og WwW { Sox sam a ea 2.1. 697, Giants: A albm aii. 211.667) Reds 3... 008000300 1:2" 333 Cubs «ou noivein sh Sand 1:2 333; TO NORTHERN WISCONSIN Plans for extending Sheridan road to Manitowoc or Green Bay, Wisconsin. were discussed Thursday by members of the Sher-!
