THE , WASHINGTON TIMES; THURSDAY, MRCH 16, 1916. 11 ?: i ' Better Homemaking Training for Children A Promise -of Future Ultra-Feminist Objections Answered-AlWVlental Individ ual -Ah Extreme TypePractice In Normal Tasks Good For Future Women. By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK. SHOULD every woman learn houso work? "No," Bay tho iltra-fomlnl8t, In reply to thin question. "Why." they k, "nhouhl every woman learn to ninkc bedd, wash dlHhca, and awcop uny more than a man nhoiilclY No, by forcInK every Jtlrl to njioncl time on thenc menial, non-mental taaka, Jon arc lobbliiR her of Jnat no milch lime In which aho mlBhl be perfecting linirlf In a chosen career. Vou don't want to train every boy to be Just one thing, why train every woman to bo a lioi'Bkrepor?" L'.ut while the girl Is washing illshea ii nd learning how to cook, what Is her brother doing? In ho not carpentering, tinkering with n battery, or learning horn to lie up a toy wireless or operate n t!egraph Instrument?' And doea ho do thlh and Is ho encouraged to do theso and other mechanical things because hl parents want him to prepare to bo a ru-pentcr or a telegraph operator? N'o. they encourage htm to take an lntueat lii manual, mchcanlcal tasks, n that he may acquit o. a knowledge of loots, of mechanics, and n good de gree of manual skill. Ho eventually m.'i be a lawyer or a doctor, and It doe not follow that ho will take up tho lnolinflon of some lino lu which he practiced amateurishly as a boy. Kriually true It ahould bo In the case of a girl. The fact that she learns how In make beds develops deftness and skill In handling dishes, dusting, or operating a stove does not necessarily mean that he must go on to the end of time nnd follow It uri as a liousc Kr"lirr. ."-he, too. may. be a lawyer or a doc tor, and the training which she re celven in manual household tasks wilt not hold her back any more than a knowledge of n saw and plane will pre vent her brother from being a lawyer. I'cisonally I want to make a plea for a still wider scone In tho me chanteal training of girls. But theo retically and practically, both boys and girls should know now to use a saw, hammer, understand a motor and electrical principles and tho basic underlying principles or all mechan ics. Holdlers mako beds: there are thousands of men who cook and to the eliamc.of our sex, some of thorn are belter cooks than any women!) and numbers of other men who can do wen so-called housohold tasks. Manual training and dexterity, how ever, acquired. In never lost. It can be carried over Into any other branch aii other line of work. The worker with deft gngern, with co-ordinated mind and muscle, who can do rapid, frletlonless work, can carry tho samo finalities Into any one of a dozen lines. ft never prcvepted Abraham Lincoln from being a great president because ho had spent hours of time In his youth rail-splitting. It nover pre vented Anna Howard rfhaw from be ing a great leader because she once dug a cistern, and did most primitive housekeeping Ip her early pioneer life. The all-mental Individual In an' ex treme type. It Is a common mistake to suppose that manual dexterity Is not liked nor practiced by those of great Intellect. Gladstone tool: hie recreation lu chopping wood: Franklin was a Journey. man pi Inter, nnd the life of almost every man ot distinction nan traversca many paths of manual nnd so-called Miuiiutii- mnnji uuincn mil ll&vc iv look elsewhere for a more firm argu ment than that dishwashing and mak ing beds keepi them from being great! Practice In manual tnsks and a great er knowledge of machanlci Is Just as good for the future woman with a career an for her ambitious brother! (Coy't 1011. by Mrs. Chrlitlne ITed.Tlck.)

By ANN MARIE LLOYD, I' was with the greatest prldo that I it U often difficult to Iron round ta- I our grnudmothorr displayed their well-stocked llr.cn closets 'with shelf uron shelf piled high with perfectly laundorodr snowy bed linen and nnpory. The ftoothlllg sccrt of tho awect laven der lingered In the imHtills of tho vlM tor long after the door had closed upor the staphs or snowy whiteness thai had been a "Jo.u.tothe eyes." , Kcw housekeeper nowadays, I nm sorry to say, follow the oxainplo of their ancestors and give the care and atten tion to their linens that Is, absolutely necessary to keep them In a porfect condition. Tim safe way to wash linen Is with clear, warm wter nnd plenty of puro, while ionp, followed by the usiul rins ing nnd bluliTK.

Also, icmember to keep Jlnen In a dry, cool place. Heat dries out the threads, maKlng them brittle and easily broken. Thero Is much that can he said abqut Ironing llhcn. A mistaken Idea 'Is that a heavy Iron and a great amount of prc.iiuro should bo used when Ironing napcry. While a certain amount of pressure Is necessary to bring out the pattern, too much Is apt to crack tho linen In the folds. Dampen tho linen well and Iron It on both sides until thoroughly dry, with tho oxceptlon of laco-trlmmcd or em broidered pieces. In folding linens uso only the slight est pressure on tho creases. Many housewives fold their linen by hand and never use the Iron to press the creasec. , Of the greatest Importance Is the fnel that you should always move tho Iron with tho threads, keeping tho article airaigni on tno ironing board or table, Beech -Nut BACON One of the Beech-Nut Pure Tood jnadcJby the Beech-Nut Packing-Oxi CAJCAJOHAU .
