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.

SPOKANE, Wash., March 9. Cap
ital, rather than immigrants, is needed
to continue the world Zionist move
ment in Palestine, wnere a national
home for Jews has oeen established
under a mandate to Great Britain, ac
cording to Nahum Sokolow, president
of the executive council oij the world
Zionist movement, who arrived in
Spokane today.
Mr. Sokolow, accompanied by a
party of workers in the Zionist move
ment, is on a transcontinental tour to
stimulate interest in the movement
and obtain financial support for it
from Jewish elements in the American
population.
"We need $12, 000,000 in the next
two years," said Mr. Sokolow today,
"In Palestine at present we have not
the facilities to care for the masses
of Jews from Russia, Rumania and
Poland who wish to go to the national
home."
The party will remain in Spokane
until Saturday night.
COURT SETS WILL ASIDE
Woman Who Cared for Mother Wins
Action Against Property Transfer.
OLYMPIA, Wash.,' March 9. (Spe
cial.) '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.) At the annual meeting of the
Eastern Oregon Poultry association,
organized here a year ago, it was de
cided to expand and form auxiliary
organizations in other eastern Oregon
counties. Vice-presidents are to be
named in the various counties.
The association was organized to
educate farmers to better ways of
raising poultry, co-operative market
ing and co-operative buying of feed
and supplies.
The officers for the year are L. M.
Jensen, president; D. C. Sievers, vice
president; A. W. Deffel, secretary
treasurer; Chris Stackland, J. H. Day,
W. B. Pickens, O. C. Fleshman and
C. S. Schultz, members of the execu
tive committee.
Legion Post Nominates.
ABERDEEN, Wash., March 9.
(Special.) John Layland. Carl Weath-
erwax, L. D. Brown and Edgar Buzard
were nominated for the office of vice
commander of Aberdeen post No. 6,
the American Legion, at a post meet
ing held Wednesday night. The nom
inations were made to fill a vacancy
left through the resignation of Dr.
W. T. Brachvogel, who has gone to :
Portland to fill a position as X-ray
expert in a hospital. The post pledged
support for the G. A. R. state encamp
ment, which will be held here In
June.
PUGET: SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
March 9. Captain F. B. 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

Yeast Vitamine Tablets should be used in
connection with organic Nuxated Iron. With
out organic iron, both food and Vitamines are
absolutely useless, as your body cannotchange
inert, lifeless food into living cells and tissue
unless you have plenty of organic iron in your
blood. Organic iron takes up oxygen from your
lungs. This oxygenated organic iron unites
with yoar digested food as it is absorbed into
your blood just as tire unites with coal or
wood, and by so doing it creates tremendous
power and energy. Without organic iron in
your blood your food merely passes thru your
body without doing you any good.

WISE WOMEN

the women, and not the men, knew
