The All Around Wonian of To -day
(Paper read by Mrs.-kirke at the
last meeting of the Women's Insti-
tute): •
It has been said that no nation ever
has risen or could rise above the'level
of. its womanhood, and at -the present
time it is an undisputed fact that the
influence •of women in every ,cont-
munity is something to be reckoned
with. Our young womeh,
should consider seriously whether
their influence is for good or evil, as
it surely is one ,,or, the oth-
er. Some have failed .to •realize
•their responsibilities and many a
young man has fallen before the
sneers of a girl when a hopeful, help-
_
fu l word would have saved him.
We should 'remember to carry the
blessing of pure womanhood into any
occupation and never be ashamed of
work, however humble. Our Saviour
washed his disciples feet, making even
the lowliest act honorable if it is,use-
fill, and it is only those who are use-
less or who refuee to work when they
they are well able to do so whoThave
no right to be in the world to burderi
others. .
Right leadership is the greatest
need of the world today and let wom-
en atand fer high ideals of purity and
honor and men will try to measure up
to them. • -
Home -making is one of the highest
occupationt- for women. To be the
head of a home and the mother of a
family. is 'a most honorable position.,
„Those •who -have known the usual
type of wither, who sacrifices great-
ly and lovesgreatly, can hardly .be-
lieve that there is any other kinds
But the word anotlaer calls up totally
different images to genie boys and
girls and that some mothers tipper-
ently cared nothing for the company
of their- children Net felt responsible
onlel• for their food and. clothes and
•more or ;lees foe what education they
received. The revelation of this
conies as a shoek to those who know
the beautiful and what we believe to
be the usual kind of mother.
• It is a hard problem for Many
`mothers to solve, that of keeping an
even %elan& of indulgence. Unsel-
fishness racist be insisted upon and it
might he •better to risk what seems
to be perhaps a little spoiling than
forfeit in any way the confidences of
the children. • This is a:subject which
will stand considerable discussion. Dr.
..Margaret Patterson says we "cannot
legislate. people into being good, but
we can educate them." When plead-
ing for a more careful and thorough
educational program in the home and
in the community. • Every boy should
be instructed in the work ,for which
he has,'an aptitude; she said, and
every'1 should be taught the ars
of home=making and motherhood ,as
the highest' and* holiest of callings and
declared that self-control and consid-
eration ;for others are much needed
lessens that ipaxents Should teach
their 'children. • Crime, she averred, is
only. a symptom of maladjustment,
physical, mental -and social—very of-
ten a combination of 'all—and the
cure of crime lies in renioving the
causes, which usually have their or-
igin in faulty training in eltildhood.
'We all realize there is anabnormal
desire for thrills among the yoling
people today and • they must have
amusement. People have lost the art
a reading and 'wish some-mie ese
to entertain them in their leistae
hours. This ean be secured -with
safety only by 'providing attractive
and •wholesome recreation easily
available 'to all young people, espec-
ially those who are away fromhome.
We, should teacleeour young people
the necessity of thinking upon thinge
that are, true, lamorable Riven/. and
of good report if the would make the
best contribution toward the building
of this nation - for God, foP as we
think in our hearts so we are.
The woman of today even more
than the woman of twenty-five' or
thirty years ago has need for many
seasons of qtdet thought and many a',
prayer for guidance, especially if she
be the mother -of a grow,ing family;
as there are a great many more
temptations thrown in the way of
young people. We are living in a
fast age. The automobile, which is
of great seevide to mankind, can also
be used to make .crime easier to be
carried out The motion, pictures,
which could be the 'Means of showing
people many wonderful things as well
at most beautiful scenery in coun-
tries whichwe may never have the
privilege of visiting, are often esed
to show degrading' pictures 'and the
advertisements are often very- hor-
rible and unfit fth anyone, let alone
innocent children to look at. I feel

We read in history and in the pleas
of numbers of -Men who. have becOme
prominent in Politics, commerce, lit-
erature, etc., and:there are hundreds',
of costly monuments erected to the
meniory of mori who have devoted
th-eir lives 'to, the bettering of then -
fellowmen. - But ' hest mem-
ory is 'engraven on the hearts and
lives of those with whon-i 'and for
whom ,she. lives. '
To'better thicierstand, what a per-
fectly developed 3,vonlan shtuld be we
cannot' do -better than consider one
example as -sho-xis in the life of
Christ. We Are told in Luke 2:52 that
"Jesup increased inwisdom, and sta-
ture,and' in favor of God and innn."
•This -is 'recognized by students and
thinker§ as the four -fold or 'perfect
all-round development • Of nature;
"Wisdom" standing for intellectual
development; "stature" for Physical
development, "fayour with' God" re --
presenting the moral and religious
side," and "favour "with man" repre-
senting the social side - of Oue nature.
We may stem to be overdeveloped
in any me or more of these four
ways, resulting in a neglect of eth-
ers. But we Must face the 'fact that
there a.re at birth .implanted in Each
'ofus these four essenlials and we are
taking a. grave risk in neglecting any
one Of them, ,
to, be
_
any
We will consider first, the social
side: Sometimes we have a limited
idea of the meaning of the social.life,
taking it to mean Merely pleasure
and recreation • enjoyed or shared
'With others. While these are quite
•necessary, yet that conception of it is
far from expressing all of the trutha
lagoader view would be our rela-
tions with or duty to our fellowman.
The oldequestiori recurs: "Am I my
brother's keeper " And the answer
comes'that most assuredly we have
greater responsibility than we are
willing to assume. In children we
early note the desire to play together. -
This same instinct is in each" of „us,
only as we grow older -we sometiines
allow ourselves to become 4e1feentresIt
interested in nothing which does not
concern- oarselves • or our immediate
family, with the result that the social
side of our nature is dwarfed or
crowded out, and as we live to our-
selves, our own worries and -troubles
seem to grow from molehills into
mountaint. The surest cure for
trouble or sorrow is to find someone
else in trouble and try, to help and so
• helping others forget otir own. • To
some it -is easy to mingle with neigh-
brs and friends, but others find this
side of their nature-enot very well de-
veloped ,and must make a painful ef-
"fort to appear at least friendly. But
we should make an effort to over-
come this feeling, for if we stay In
our shells, as it were we lose a great
deal of enjoyment and help to be got
from the society of others. Some
one else may be 'needing our friend-
ship as we need.theirs and shall we
not give a friendly clasp ef t'he hand
arid a cheering smile if nothing elseA
To consider the religious or moral
side of our • life de we notehear
great deal about a double standard
of morality?! That is, we are ex-
pected to overlook failings a man
that in ,a' woman we condemn in no
uncertain terms. Nothing 51 so false
as this old idea; and the same laws
which govern the honor, honesty and
virtue of a worhan form also -the
standards by which a -man stands or
falls. -But to long as we women over-
look the faults in a man that.would.
make us consider a weaken not fit'
to associate with, just se long will
there he this false standard of war.,
In considering the moral side we
cannot overleole the religioue, which
Tn most lives is closely int_erivoven
with it. One great man has said "I
never think of my mother apart from
her religion." Nothing becomes any -
One, either old (P.' goung, as a rever-

money at the stranger's suggestion
and listened intently to an explan-

• Detroit, April .27.--A quarrel be-

slaying on I1riday afternoon of
George 'W, Cockfield, 29, by his
"buddy" of war' days, Benjamin „Car-
ter, 80, ,and' Ins next door neighboi',
at 14254 Ward avenue, was a trag
edy in which' both the slakes-. and his
viCtini were Canadians.
Cockfield . and Calder lived Meer' 01'
therr lives: in Goderich, Ont. 'When
the -war s'brolte mit they enlisted to-
gether and when it was over they
came hack together to the old town.
The families" were always closely con-
nected, the wives and children friends
grah playmates.
Four Years ,ago` the Carters and
CockfielcIs came to Detroit, where
they obtained ..employment in one of
• the big industrial plants. Several
times their children had petty gudr-
rels, as children do, l'hese little dts-

one of these quarrels.

afternoon Carter looked oVer
the fence. "Clockfield," he said; "I've
stood all of this I'm going twstand,"
Cockfield laughed.
. 'Mutt are you going to do about
it." asked Carter. ,-
"Nothing," was the reply. .
• "We'll see about it," said Carter.
Then be went inte the house and an -
peered a moment later with,a revolv-

automobile where' Cockfield lay and
fired 'three shots in quick suceesslo.
-0Ockfield never moved.- One of .the
bullets had pierced his head.' .
'.Carter surrendered himself to a
neighbor,with the remark: "I've kilt-

EDITOR TAILED, IN KLAN -.FIGHT
Former Brucefield Boy Has Exciting
Experience Which Doesn't Seem
• To Have Daunted Him Much
Fighting the inroads of the Ntl
Klux Klan ,in Flint, Mich., which is re-
ported to have centrol of that city
and to hold a corner on all civio af-
fah•s, has resulted in the jailing of
"Tip" O'Teil, former reporter of the
London Free Prest- and now editor
of the Flint Daily Herald. Reports
from Flint are to the effect that
(fTip" O'Neil and Wm. H. McKeighan,
general manager of The Herald, were
arrested on Tuesday, by an under -
sheriff, a member of the K.K.K., nt
the instigation of the Klan Keagle,
The two newspaper men were rushed
to jell and, held for bail of $5,000.
bail which was made more difficlut
to give; in view of the fact that the
'sheriff could not be lochted to re-
ceive the. money. -
• The battle between the Flint Daily
Journal and the Flint klan has been
exceptionally bitter and is said to be
one of the most diffigult fights a
newspaper has ever waged.
The arrest of the two_men followed
a complaint of the kleagle, a man by
the name of Steenbarger, who asks
dafnages 'of $50,000 on the grounds_
Viet hie business and confidence of
the people were reduced by articles
aftearing hi the Flint Herald.
In the same "Extra", of The Her -
aid which announces the arrest of its
general manager and editor, runs an
editorial by the jailed "Tip" O'Neil
answering a rumor that the leVO
newspaper men ha left town tempor-
arily for fear of the Man. O'Neil
points out in his editorial that neith-
er would leave town foe; fear of "the
two hundred and ten pound fraud"
Steenbarger. In the same writing the
ideagle is referred to as a "big baby"
ancl his henchmen "fanatical and dan-
gerously lunatic, yet absolutely harm-
less." It also term Steenbarger
"ham" and a "first-class eoward" and
his followers "vultures."
