The answer, in the old days, was "not very, Ions:." Of interest to every woman is the follow. ing, taken from his talk: t'Do you know what happened to the Pilgrim Mothers! I will tell you. sThey died. They died young. It took two or three of them to bring up one family. The fathers were tough and lived long, but work and hardship made short work of the wives." It has been truly said that you can meas ure the height of any civilization by the plane on which its women live. By that standard we have made great progress in the United States, but we have not made enough. rAn electric motor which runs a washing machine -or a vacuum cleaner works for a f er cents an hoDr. There are still millions of women doing this work which motors can do selling their time at coolie wages.
