TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIATT- PORTLAND, MARCH 15, 1914. TANGO CALLED STEP TO STILT-WALKING Dr. Wise Sees Unrest Due to Revolt of Women Against Emptiness of Life. OLD DOCTRINE PASSING Millions Face Xew Conditions but Cling to Bygone Ideals That Places Are ' in Homes, Is Statement In Sermon. NEW YORK. March 12. Barefooted rope-jumping and stilt-walking were cited as logical successors of bridge playing and tangoing: among- the so called "home-keeping women," in a sermon delivered before the Free Syna gogue In Carnegie Hall by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. His subject was "The Great Unrest Among Women," and he began by referring to George Mere dith's remark that the awakening of woman is the most Indigestible fact of the last 60 years. "The awakening of womanhood in our day and generation may prove in time to be revolutionary in its effects upon the life of the world," he saM, "but one must in truth pay tribute to the patient and sweet reasonable ness with which the movement in the main is led. "When recently in France a commis sion was constituted on the question of re-population exclusively of men, women gently and almost timidly pro tested that surely in the matter of the re-population of the land women might of necessity, if not in courtesy, be given some voice in the councils deal ing with the question. If the temper of the so-called feminist movement were revolutionary, the women might have said that they were satisfied to remain unrepresented on the commis sion dealing with re-population and also determined to leave the problem of re-populating France to be dealt with exclusively by the sex which stone was represented in the commis sion. Women Judges Suggested. "If women were not too patient, would they not have asked long be fore this that on the bench of the juve nile courts anr the domestic courts women preside equally with men? Granting, as some men readily will, that women are intellectually inferior to men, who will deny that touching the problems of childhood and paren tal relations there are women, not a few, wise and visioning and conse crated, who might in New York and other cities serve with distinction and highest serviceableness? "If the women of New York City were really to demand that which is their right, they would insist that women should serve as justices In our night courts, even as do men. It is women in large part who come before these courts, but only before men are these women tried. Above all other women, the women who are dragged into the night court need the under standing and the compassion and the care of a sister. Women of deep sym pathy and tender compassion and high vision, such as Maude Miner and Ir. Katharine Davis, and many more who might be named, ought to serve as the judges in these courts. It is not enough for women to serve as probation offi cers. It is with such mean and grudg ing concessions that over-patient, un exacting womanhood has, up to this time, been satisfied. "Perhaps the most deep and funda mental cause of unrest among women today is to be found in the contradic tion between the new facts of woman's life, which she must perforce face, and the old ideals of womanhood from which she has not had the courage to turn away. Old Ideals Still Stay. "Millions of women in America and Western Europe are no longer home beings. Millions more are in homes in which they are not completely occu pied, in which wifehood and mother hood ask very much less than a nor ma woman ought and can give to life. Millions of women are at work out of their homes, if homes they hiay be styled, or they dwell in workless homes. Outside of the home their lot is cast, or within the home they are only partially occupied. And yet wo men somehow cling to the old Ideals which govern womanhood when woman lived and served completely within the home. "Much of the unrest Is due to the clashing between the new facts which are and the old ideals which these new facts have annulled. The time when, if ever, it might have been said to every woman that her place was in the home as wife and mother is gone, and gono forever. As the result of the new in dustrial order, the place of millions of women in America today is outside the home, and wifehood and motherhood will never be for great multitudes of women, who will not even have an opportunity to decide for themselves whether they wish to become wives or mothers. Moreover, under the present order, wifehood and motherhood are not completely adequate as -a life-calling for women in the home. Proof Is Cited. "A proof of the fact that woman's life is not completely occupied today is to be found in the lamentably obvious circumstance that the so-called home keeping women, too many of them, are ever ready to flee hither and thither from one banality and extravagance to the other, with bridge-whist raging one year and tango-teas another, and probably bare-footed rope-jumping or stilt-walking, or some equally intel lectual delight, to become the chief ob session of nominally home-keeping women next year. "The emptiness of the life of the wo men who are not in industry can alone explain their feverish and almost in sane craving for things not worth while, such as I have named. Many young women within the past few years have confessed to a sense of loathing of the emptiness of their lives. This unrest is taking the form of revolt against those institutions of society, upon the basis of which multi tudes of women are mere idlers, bridge playing, the-dansant idlers, and a wo man idler Is just as much of a loafer as a man idler. Women of leisure are beginning to revolt against the petty and mean conventionalities of society, according to which a wage-earning, toiling woman is not as highly regard ed from the social point of view, what ever that may mean, as a bridge-playing, tango-whirling, idling cumberer of the earth." concealing the assets of their firm, Sol omon Bros., which went into bank ruptcy in August. 1912. Judge Hunt sentenced Abe Solomon to five months on Blackwell'a Island and gave Samuel a suspended sentence of three months. Abe Solomon attributed his downfall to his fondness for life on the Great White Way. He said that shortly after he succeeded to his father's place as head of the business he began burning up money in nightly jaunts to lobster palaces and others places of expensive amusement. often spending $200 a night This, he said, was what had de frauded his creditors of the money that was due them when the firm failed with $60,000 in liabilities. When the Solomon brothers got Into difficulties with the Federal authori ties because of their defalcations their relatives contributed to a fund out of which their creditors received 40 cents on the dollar. When Abe Solomon pleaded guilty he told the Judge that a prison sen tence would break his mother's heart. Judge Holt replied that he should have thought of that before he committed his crime. fJCOfilE TAX ATTACKED CONFLICT WITH CONSTITUTION IS SET VP IX ACTION. Fact That Only Half of One Per Cent Pay Held to Be Iefect Al leging Other Discriminations. NEW YORK, March 14. To test the validity of the Federal income tax act suit was filed in United States District Court here Friday to restrain the Union Pacific Railroad Company from paying taxes under the new law. Peti tioner. Frank R. Brushaver, of Brook lyn, a stockholder, maintains the in come tax law is unconstitutional. Mr. Brushaver contends the Income tax law conflicts with the third clause of the second section of article one of the Federal Constitution in that while It purports to be a tax on net income, it is, in fact, a tax on the real and personal property in which the net re ceipts of the Union Pacific were In vested and is a direct tax. and. there fore, void. He maintains moreover, that the law is unconstitutional because it seeks to impose a tax on income received prior to its passage. Discrimination is alleged in the classes of corporations obliged to col lect taxes upon the income of individ uals at the source. When the Income tax law was passed, the complaint declares, there were 90,000,000 people in the United States, but the tax under the law was so apportioned that only 499,000 out of them felt It. This. It Is asserted, is placing the burden of the tax on slightly more than one-half of one per cent of the entire population. Among other objections is one that owners of homes are not charged with the rental value of such property, while many renters, especially those in the cities are taxable. Likewise what is declared to be In effect the exemption of farm products consumed by the farmer during the year is declared discriminatory against others who are not allowed to deduct living expenses from income.

SUIT OVER HORSE ENDS Attorney Ordered to Return or Pay for Oregon City Animal. OREGON CITY. Or.. March 14. (Spe cial.) One of the suits arising over a horse that now has been lost track of by all concerned was ended today when a Jury in Circuit Court awarded Hutchinson a verdict against Cobb for the return of the horse or its value, which the Jury placed at $200. The Canby Mercantile Company turned over to its attorney, Cobb, a bill against Hutchinson amounting to less than $100. Cobb, it is said, seized Hutchinson's only horse. While the case was being fought a liveryman with whom the horse was left ob tained an order to sell it for his bill. Contention, to Be fade That Wealthy Widow's Most Recent Decree Was Made and Signed When She Was Perfectly JDucid. NEW YORK. March 9. That James K. Hackett will not inherit the for tune of his niece, Mrs. Minnie Hack,ett Trowbridge, without a legal battle has become apparent. Friends of Mrs. Trowbridge said today that another will, disinheriting the actor, will be offered for probate and that a fight would be made to have it declared legal. "It will be contended that while the wealthy widow had been declared Incompetent, her most recent will was made and signed by her when she was perfectly competent and lucid. It is known that for more than ten years Mrs. Trowbridge, who died at her home, 72 Park avenue, had made numerous efforts to una means oi disinheriting her uncle, for whom she had conceived a bitter dislike, but since she had been declared legally incompetent there seemed no way of preventing the bulk of her $2,500,000 estate falling into the hands of the actor at her death. Hackett Is now in Washington, and refused to discuss the case today, but referred reporters to his lawyers, A. L. and Samuel Jacobs. Relatives of Mrs. Trowbridge main tained great secrecy regarding what legal steps would be taken to rescue the fortune from Mr. Hackett, but they intimated that there would be a suit of some kind. Mrs. Clancy, wife of the warden at Sing Sing, one of the dead woman's favorite cousins, has been prostrated through grief at her cousin's death, and could not be seen at the Trowbridge home. Her daugh ter, however, told reporters they would have to wait a few days before any an nouncement regarding the estate could be made. When asked if there are two wills in existence, she said she could not an swer, as she had been told to say noth- nsr. A will, she said, would be pro bated in a few days, but she did not say whether It would be a new will or the old one. 'There is only one person who is at liberty to tell just what steps will be taken to protect the estate," sne saia. but I cannot Eive you his name, l have been told not to talk about the case." 'I and my dead sister s children are the real heirs to the estate of Mrs. Trowbridge.' A. Oakey Hall said. "I am prepared' to prove my assertion. My father was the brother of Mrs. Trowbridge's mother and we are first cousins. My sister. Mrs. Minnie H. Rechlin, died on December 10. 1910, leaving three children, who are now living with their grandfather. Augustus A. Rechlin, at 1365 De K.a.10 avenue, Brooklyn. These children and myself are the nearest of kin. "James K. Hackett, the actor, only claimed relationship in January, 1911, after Mrs. Trowbridge had been de clared incompetent. She refused to see him then and never would have any thing to do with him."

CANCER IN FERTILIZER French Kxpert Says Horses Teem With Parasitic Germs. PARIS, March 12. The use of horse manure by market gardeners is largely responsible for the appalling spread of cancer. Is the opinion of Professor Charles Nordmann.

It is thius easy to see how the use of horse manure disseminates can cer, as 65 per cent of the cases are tumors of the digestive tubes." "Poison Needle" Branded Myth. : CHICAGO. March 5.

Some anxiety Is now felt regarding the oper atlons In Australia of American meat combinations, one of which, the Armour-Swift trust, is already engaged in active attempts to capture toe Aus tralian meat trade. Three large works. one of them near Cairns, will deal with the cattle of Northern Queensland as far as the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is stated that in this part of the state the price of beef has increased by 100 per cent in the last six months. The trust has also secured works between Bowen and Townsville, on the main line along the coast, to deal with, the cattle of Western Queensland. Deep sea vessels can be loaded at the works. Immense works have also been set up near Brisbane to deal with the cattle of Southern Queensland and the north ern districts of South Wales. The im mediate effects are expected to be temporarily enhanced prices for stock owners and considerably augumented retail prices of meat. The anti-trust federal and state laws are believed to be ample to deal with the trusts if the ramifications are inim ical to public interests. In any case, the state ownership of the railways prevents the control of transportation, which is one of the principal factors in the trust problem in the United States. FIGHT OPENED ON SIGNS CHICAGO WOMEN" WAGE WAR ON SALOON "LADIES' ENTRANCE." Shingles Are Declared Subterfuge and Snare to Lure Young- Girls Into Drink ing. Places of Windy City. CHICAGO, March 7. A woman inves tigator for the Chicago South Side Club last week made a report on 478 of Chi cago's 7000 saloons. According to her estimate, eald to be conservative, she found 14,603 working girls and women drinking in the back rooms of saloons. The women in nearly all cases were unescorted. The investigator reported many of them made the acquaintance of strange men. Interviews were obtained with men and women whose welfare work puts them In contact with the girls and women who have come to grief ae the result of their visits to the rear rooms of saloons. A business man who leases his property for a saloon also com mented on the report. The gist of the opinions gathered is that the misleading signs "family en trance" and "ladles' entrance." which hide the snare under , an air of re spectability, lead many girls Into the back rooms of saloons. The women and men uplift workers suggested as a remedy a law abolishing the "family entrance" sign. It is prob able an ordinance will be introduced in the Council within the next week prohibiting the signs and requiring the removal of screens In the back rooms which increase the possibilities of men who are inclined to entice girls to ques tionable places. Corporation Counsel Sexton said the City Council has the power to pass such an ordinance, and Chief Gleason said he would enforce it if passed. One property owner a few days ago caused his lessee to remove the mis nomer, "ladies' entrance." before a new lease was signed. 'The saloon keeper asked me for a number of smaller favors in the new lease," the property owner said, "and I acquiesced in some of his requests. Then I turned to my lessee and said: Now that I have done you one or two favors. I want you to do one for me.' ' 'What is it?' the saloon keeper asked. " "Take down the sign "ladies' en trance," ' I replied. 'Twenty-five per cent of the damage that results from saloons will be ellm- nated if the misleading signs can be removed from . the places. The seg regated ealoon Is the really bad saloon. "I hope the women of Chicago will crusade against that sign." "There is nothing so deceptive as the 'family-entrance' signs on saloons," said Mrs. Gertrude Howe Brltton, of the Juvenile Protective Association. "The man who takes his family to a saloon hasn't any objection to ' walking in through the front door. He won't take his family to a saloon that isn't re spectable enough to walk through the front entrance. 'Those signs are subterfuges. They should read: 'Entrance for young girls." for, in fact, that is what such entrances are. Such signs are bad and should be abolished. The Council would be doing something really meritorious if such signs were abolished." The "family-entrance" sign usually is displayed over a side door. It lead3 into a back room, where there are ta bles or booths. These back rooms are poorly lighted. At night the lights burn low and the decorations of many of the rooms tend to lend mystery to the surroundings. In the daytime these rooms are cur tained so little light is admitted. The idea for the family entrance came ffom foreign countries, where men take their wives and children to saloons. In some sections of Chicago the foreign re spectability is maintained, but the for elgner is strangely shocked at what takes place in a large number of the rooms in Chicago under the label "fam ily entrance."

If you must have your meat every day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood.
