«' M.KRNITY COMPENSATION
ASKED BY ENGLISH WOMAN
WASHINGTON-—If maternity is
-ha all important thing in a woman’s
life, as many men contend, Mrs.
Helen Archale of Great Britain
wants to know why they aren’t will
ing to pay for it. .
Mrs. Archdale, in Washington on a
world tour i uthe interests of femin
;.sn}, believes in divorcing sentimen
tality from sex. She wants equality
t'05 men and women in everything.
“Women should be compensated
'on bearing children, if it’s such an
important thing in the world's af
fairs,” she says “A mother who has
to ,earn her living should be paid by
thtj state for the time she has to re
main away from her work, or the firm
tor,which she works should be com
peted by law to compensate her for
the enforced vacation.”
As to equalitty in sharing the bur
leas of war, she is equally firm.
“Certainly women, should shoulder
arpis along with the men,” she as
sents. “Why should meu be selected
for cannon fodder any more than
women?”
Mrs. Archdale came to Washington
as ;a guest, of the National Woman’s
Party. She attended the Republican
convention at Kansas City, and her
'oqunent was: “Most amazing!”
"I could not tell who were Repub
licans and. who were Democrats, who
were important and who were not,”
she recalls. “They were all mixed
together in a most confusing jumble.
1 could make nothing out of it. so I
did not go to Houston.”
Mrs. Archdale is international sec
retary of the. Six Point group of
Great Britain. The Viscountess
Rhondda is chairman of the execu
tive committee. The object of the or
gapization is to work for reforms to
give men and women equal opportuni-,
ties politically, economically and so

Sleeping Out.
Seymour Hicks, the English actor
»nd playwright, was telling a. New,
Yo^k reportef stories about his youth.;
“Once in Barnstaple.” he said, “our
manager dug out with the receipts,
and the company was left stranded.
“Half adozen of us slept in the
theater that night, and the cold was
horrible. I woke up and said to the
chap who was lying next to me:
“ ‘It’s hcastly cold here, laddie.’
“ ‘Well, no wonder,’ says he. ‘We’re
sleeping out in a fielud of snow. Hey,
stage manager, lower an interior!’ ”—.

A Bad Thing,
Prohibition Administrator Rhinow,
of St. Paul, was talking to a re-,
porter about his experiences.
“One bad thing,” he said, “is the
increase in cologne drunkards. In the
days before prohibition there used to
be a lot of women who drank violet
extract and essence of heliotrope and
so on, but lately men have taken to
cologne drinking, too.
“There’s a story about a policeman
who dragged a wild, disreputable
looking man into a magistrate’s
, court.
I j
“ ‘What’s the charge ? ’ the magis-1
! trate said.
“ ‘Fragrancy, your honor.’
“‘You mean vagrancy, don’t you?’
“ ‘No, your honor; fragrancy. He’s
been drinkin' perfumery.’”

Silence!
On the western plains the sheep
' man goes out with several thousand

| natural result is that the pair, forced
! on one another When they least want
it, form the habit of hating each'
other.
An ex-sheepman while in a narra-!
live mood one evening, was veiling a
party of friends of a fellow he once [
rode with. “Not a word had passed;
between us for more than a week,1
and that night, when we; rolled up in;
our blankets, he suddenly asked: . j
“‘Hear that cow heller ?!
“‘Seems to me like a bull,’ I re
plied.
“No answer, but the following
morning I noticed him packing up.
“‘Going to leave?’ I questioned.
“ ‘Yep,’ he replied.
“‘What for?’
“‘Too much argument.’ ’—Ex.
