IDA II TARBELL IS
, PORTLAND VISITOR
Koted Writer Has Decided Views
- on Domestic Service Problem
. French Women Lauded.
Miss Ida M. Tarbell, fresh from at
tending the peace conference at
Paris, arrived at the Portland hotel
this morning and is trying to rest up
today from a hard Journey, so she
can speak at the Gladstone Chautau
qua tonight on the League of Na
tions. '
Miss Tarbell was disinclined to dis
cuss the. subject Informally because of
her meeUng tonight, but she exprensed
the belief that after the usual debate
' Is ended it will be found that the treaty.
"with the leagued Ma left intact, will
have been fully ratified by. the senate.
FAMOUS AS "WHITES
Miss Tarbell won her first renown
many years ago by her articles in Mc
Clure's nkagasins exposing the methods
f , the Standard Oil .company. Since
then her 1 writings .- bae appeared in
many periodicals and her Investigations
into social and economic conditions nave
made ber much sought after as a lec
turer." Among the avenues of investiga
tion that she has long followed are
housing conditions, domestic service and
juvenile delinquency, , - r
"The average woman employer is
very ignorant of the social and economic
question and her duty as to employ
ment." declared Miss Tarbell, "and un
til she is sufficiently educated inhat
side of it, she - is going to handle the
domestic service question in an Ignorant,
selfish and vulgar fashion. " '' ,.
SBBVAWT IDEA WKOSO
"She has yet, to learn, to appreciate
that employes, are human, beings ; with
whom she associates.' She regards them
ss servants te whom she is entitled be
cause shs can pay for them. She has
got to get upon a basis of intelligent,
"cooperative service. r'- v '-.'-
"I hope women are going to have
enough intelligence and r realisation of
the problem and enough' consciousness
of their social sand economic obligation
, to put the domestic' service problem on
, a professional basis: ' The trouble now
is that worn, employing domestics in
their households do not treat that work
as a trade, It Is Irregular. There are
no standards of service as .to employ
ment or hours and conditions. There is
that ' social - stigma that regards the
employe as a mental. - ' ,
IP TO WOatElT THEMSELTES , 1
"It is jup to the women ihemselves to
solve the problem. Housework must be
treated as". -a? high grade trade r with
recognised hours and conditions. ' When
we get it on k high grade trade basis
and people j are trained for it. and ' the
women who employs recognises her obli
gation Just as any other employer does,
and' when, she recognizes that she has
got to be a skilled manager just as men.
in factory and store, we will get it on a
basis for which there shall be some hope;
But we 'will not have any success until
we do this. ' ':...:.,'.' '.V'
"The solution, of this problem is a re
sponsibility the woman employer has no
right to shirk. Women have shirked it
in a perfectly shocking way. They shirk
it because they have not been trained to
see. ' They are .slaves to an ignorant
lot of old traditions and prejudices., .
BETTEB TBAIXIJKJ SEEDJSb
"The employes must be better trained".
They must learn to erijoy their - work..
The character of the employe herself
presents another one of the big prob-
Jems. - She is . often impudent, she de
spises her work, she is unskilled, and

TAKING TAHLAC
A. M. Erskine Relieved of Rheu
matism Other Treatments
Had Failed.
"I have not only ; been completely
relieved of a bad case of rheumatism
by taking the Tanlac treatment, but
have also gained 18 pounds in weight, so
you may- know by that what I think
of the medicine," said A. M. Erskine, of
6130 84th street, southeast, Portland, Or.,
to a Tanlac representative recently,
Mr. Erskine is employed by the North-
: west Steel and Shipbuilding" company.
"I "began to suffer with rheumatism
about ten months ago." continued Mr.
Erskine. I was in Vancouver at the
time,, helping tor build the Standlfer
Shipbuilding plant, and X first noticed it
In my left knee. . The pain felt
more like neuralgia V than, anything
else, hut it kept getting worse all the
. time and "finally shifted from my knee
to my:, hip and at times -1 would have
- it-In my. back and then in the muscles
of the calf of my leg. That part of my
leg seemed to be troubled the most, and
the muscles just felt all the time like
the skin had been torn and like a hot
mustard piaster had been put on the
spot. ' At times, I also suffered with
sharpC shooting " pains - that would run
. up and down my legs and I just couldn't
walk any 'distance without, my leg giv-
.. ing out entirely. When .this would hap
pen I would just have to stop and rest
, and sometimes the pain would be so
-awfully bad it looked like it would cut
off my breath. Sometimes about the only
. . wgy X could get any rest at nights would
be to use hot applications and I . suf
fered such agony for eight months and
. got In such bad shape that X fell off
in weight ' from ; H5 pounds down : to
ISO pounds, and "while I kept at work.

that I decided .to try it and I hadn't

out of people who despise their work, : ,
Previous to her work at the peace con
ference Miss Tarbell made an Intensive
study ef reconstruction work in France
for the lied Cross magazines She speaks
highly of ; the way the French women
are .taking hold of the . reconstruction
of the devastated war areas with undi
minished courage 'and cheerfulness. . :f
"Women of all classes. totn peasant
and aristocracy, those who were nurses
and established hospitals and have
done all kinds of the hardest kind of
service, are turning to reconstruction
tasks in the devastated" regions and
working night and day under conditions
almost as bad as those of the war,
she said. '"Everything Is stripped and
there is nothing to do with. , '
TITLED WOM AIT LIT ES ITS CATS
"The women of the " aristocracy are
living In huts. - I found one woman liv
ing in a quarry, a woman with a title
who owned f many ? large - estates. - . She
was trying to help ; the people ; In the
village who had always worked on her
estate. Her own chateau was entirely
gone and everything in it. She had
fitted up this big hole in the rock with

deer slung over the saddle of .his horse..

The .forest ranger had to continue on

much surprised Justice of the peace, who

turn the deer over to the state and then
dutifully pay their : fines of 825 each.
