THE 3IORXTXG OREGONTAX, FRIDAY, 3IARCTT 10, 1023 7 IMPROVEMENT SEEN IN MODERN HOMES Condition Better Than Gen eration Ago, Say Educators. CRITICISM IS ANSWERED Women Declared Broadened by Contact With Outside World and More Attention Given Child. PUGET SOUXD BUREAU, Tacoma, Wash., March 9. Are modern homes ec-riously menaced by the lipstick, cheek veneer and cosmetics? Are modern homes falling down on the Job? Tacoma school officials replied tartly today to charges made by Rob ert L. Jordan, manager-director of the American Homes bureau, that rouge and the lipstick are undermin ing American homes. ' W. F. Geiger, superintendent of schools; Mrs. Victor H. Malstrom, president of the Tacoma Parent Teacher council, and Mrs. Victor H. Miller, only woman member of the Tacoma school board, . gave their i views on the home question. Mr. Jordan, speaking before 60 Ta coma and Seattle furniture men, said - that now women use rouge and lip sticks without exciting comment and that women are wearing $1200 fur coats while their homes are bare of decent furniture. '"It is the same with the men," continued Mr. Jordan. An insidious influence is at work to break down the ideal of the American home, he said. "The president of the Cleveland, O., board of education, in a recent in terview, declared: " 'The American home is falling down on the job. It is shunting re sponsibility for the moral training of children onto the schools. Parents are too busy with non-essential ac . tivities to perform the greatest of all their duties.' " Homes Declared Improved. "Women do not stay at home as much as they used to, and this is one reason for improvement. They have been broadened by contact with the outside world and realize, the need for better influences in the school and on the street," said Mrs. Miller. "The home itself is far superior to that of a generation ago. It is more attractive to the children. The ma jority of homes have musical instru ments that were unknown in the av erage family some years back. "The automobile has been one of the largest incentives to crime. It bas simplified the commission of crime. "Juveniles who go wrong today go to far greater lengths than formerly. I don't believe, however, that condi tions are worse than in former years. More attention is being paid to chil dren and their activities supervised more closely. "Escapades that attract attention today went unnoticed 20 years ago. have investigated many charges against high school boys and girls, to find most of them unfounded. A grave injustice has been done our high school students by the cha:jes leveled at them. Better Equipment Found. Mrs. Malstrom also contended that the home of today is better equipped than those of bygone days. The home has developed with all institutions, although in some respects it may have failed to keep pace with them, she said. "The home is more efficient be cause of modern improvements," she added. ''Labor-saving devices have made it possible for women to mingle more with each other, keeping abreast of advancement and at the same time taking proper care of their families "Many duties formerly confined to the home have been turned over to the school because the cchool is bet ter prepared to handle them. Higher standards in the homes reflect in the schools, and conversely. "It is my belief that the develop ment of the Parent-Teacher associa tion will solve the present difficul ties. It is to the advantage of the city that it receive the fullest possible-support." Mrs. Malstrom declared her convic tion that there has been a consistent improvement in home conditions, al though the rate of advancement has not been as rapid as in other Ameri can institutions. Burden on Schools Seen. Superintendent Geiger sees the com plexities of modern life making it impossible for parents to devote as much attention to their children and school affairs as in former years. There is a tendency in many quarters to throw the entire burden of child development upon the schools, and this is too much to expect of the schools, said the superintendent. "There is no longer that evening hour when the whole family gather after supper to discuss the affairs of the day and get closer to each otl er," continued Mr. Geiger. "It is often difficult for a chlid to get a busy parent to look at a report card. The child frequently misses the commen dation of a parent for work well done and sometimes fails to receive the needed reprimand for poor work. "The parents in some cases assume that the schools can do everything connected with the development of their children. This is too hard a job for the schools." I.ark of Kno-tvledgre Blamed. Mr. Geiger added that these condi tions existed largely in homes where there was little knowledge of school surroundings. He found no fault with homes where there was an affiliation with the Parent-Teacher association, saying that they understood and ap preciated the problems. He expressed regret that so few fathers are en rolled in the association, but pre dicted that they are manifesting greater Interest. "Misunderstandings between the home and the school originate largely in homes wherethere is no knowl edge of school affairs. The parents have in mind the schools of 25 years ago and have taken no interest in them since they ceased attending," said Mr. Geiger. "Such misunderstandings result dis astrously for the children, who be come resistent and do as little as pos sible, leaving school at the first opportunity." POWER SITE CONFAB SOUGHT Tacoma Again Will Ask Governor Hart to Arrange Conference. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Tacoma. Wash., March 9. Governor Hart soon will be requested for the fifth time to hold a conference of city and state officials looking toward a set tlement of the Lake Cushman power site controversy between the city of Tacoma and the state fish board. The board of trustees of the Taco ma Commercial club-appointed a com mittee of five men to try to obtain a conference with the governor. Those named were Overton G. Ellis, chair man; E. M. Hayden, attorney; Dix Rowland, attorney; Major Everett G. Griggs, president of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber company, and W. W. Seymour, ex-mayor. The fact that three of the five mem bers of the committee are lawyers is considered significant, since Gov ernor Hart's whole objection to a set tlement of the controversy has been based on legal technicalities. Members of the committee said they expected to meet in the next few days and arrange a conference with the governor. LIQUOR LICENSE TAX PENALTY PROPOSED Way to Get Big Sums From Violators Is Seen.

'Because Nellie Slavin, daugh-. ter of Ellen Conley, who died at Au burn in July, 1920, had fulfilled a con tract which her mother made with her by letter ten years before, by which she was to come from Troy, N. Y., to Auburn and care for her mother as long as the latter might live, the supreme court Wednesday set aside a deed by which the mother, three years before her death, trans ferred her property to another daugh ter, and also set aside a mortgage executed by the - .mother several months before her death. The court held that the letter in which the mother asked Mrs. Slavin to come to care for her and the sub sequent action constituted a contract which took precedence over Mrs. Ack- man's deed. The supreme court af firmed Judge J. M. Ralston of King county. POULTRY BODY TO EXPAND Eastern Oregon Association to Or ganize Auxiliaries. LA GRANDE,' Or., March 9. (Spe cial.)

Ebbert, asso ciate general counsel - of the Anti Saloon league, visiting in Seattle, gave out a statement Tuesday an nouncingthe discovery of many ad ditional penalties that may be im posed on violators of the liquor laws in Washington and Oregon. Fines and jail sentences having proved ineffec tive in stopping the traffic, Captain Ebbert proposes that federal license taxes be assessed against those who have been convicted. According to his calculations this course would bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in re two northwest states. Millard T. Hartson, collecotr of cus toms for Puget sound, just returned from a trip to California, said smug gling of liquor has been made in creasingly difficult along the entire Pacific coast. . He remarked that in Los Angeles the price of bonded whisky had been forced up from $10 to $15 and $20 a quart . On Tuesday announcement was made of the raiding of three hotels in Bremerton by agents of the pro hibition director. Many empty bot tles were found, a small quantity of liquor seized and eight persons ar rested. Bootleggers Hold Convention. Tuesday, then, was a big day in the liquor business of this district; for it was also on Tuesday that the bootlegger" convention, in session in Seattle for a week, finally adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. The three sessions of the convention were held in three of Seattle's down town hotels. Unterrified by the threats of Captain Ebbert, undiscour aged by the discoveries of Collector Hartson, undismayed by the Bremer ton raid, more than 100 booze runners and wholesale dealers perfected their organization, established rigid rules and regulations for their traffic and fixed a hard-and-fast scale of prices. For the first time since the state of Washington went "dry," which was some years before th,e powers of fed eral law supervened, the liquor deal ers in this part of the country are under agreement to work together. The new organization will not be in corporated under the laws of this or any other state. It is admitted. just as it was in ,the old days, that the purposes of organization may be embarrassed from time to time by rank outsiders and even by unscrupu lous members who do not live up to their pledges. Rules may be broken and prices may be cut here and there. But in th2 main the organization is expected , to be helpful in keeping the liquor J runners and dealers within the limits of approved business methods. Dis regarding the provisions of the Sher man act against price fixing and trade restraints, the leaders in the movement face the future cheerfully, with the will to keep the stuff com ing across the line and getting much better prices for it than they have in the past. Drug Vendors to Be Fought. A neat touch was given the conven tion programme by the resolution, adopted vive voce and unanimously, that the liquor runners and dealers in the association shall boycott smug glers of narcotic drugs and do every thing possible to aid the authorities in the apprehension of these mis creants. As interpreted by conven tion delegates this resolution indi cates that the liquor .dealers feel the pressure of narcotic competition; they are convinced that the drug peddlers are cutting into the liquor trade. In addition to the increase in prices of from $10 to $20 a case, and the con demnation of the narcotic drug deal ers, the convention agreed to give Vic toria wholesalers a better share of their custom than heretofore, instead Manhattan Shirts VanHuesen Collars Trimble and Stetson Spring Hats ) X r, Copyright 1922 Hart Schaffner & Mane The way to look STYLISHLY DRESSED The answer is simple wear Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes.
