More Foreign Propaganda
Is Now Coming To America
directed at Young Womanhood of Country Regarded as
Per hap* More Sinister Than Any Recently Hurled at

New York. May 3?More foreign'
propaganda has come to the shores
of the I'nlted State*. In sonte quar
ters it Its regarded as sinister as anv
which lias been hurled across the]
restiess wavcB of the Atlantic at the j
free Institutions of America.
Foreigners are coming here and;
urging American girls to get mar
ried. This is a rank invasion of th ?
riuhts of the bachelor maids, or*
whatever they choose to call them
selves. Some time ago when "scoff-j
law" and "rumbug" were invented |
as possible?or rather impossible?j
of the English language, some one I
offered a prize for a name to take j
the place of "old maid" or "spin
ster." It was said that spinster car- |
rled with it some Idea of reproach. If.
being left on the shelf, and failed ut- ?
terly to give the atmosphere of vol-1
untary singled blessedness with It.
Among mere man it was argued!
that "bachelor" was a word in which i
the single of the masculine persua-1
sion seemed to take great pride. The I
more deadly of the species have at-1
tempted to imitate Its suggestion of
a lordly, independent pose, by com
ing "bachelor maid." Hut it has
proved an awkward expression and
the girls have wanted some thing pe
culiarly their own.
The contest to substitute a bette
word for spinster appears to have
died out. however, and it is small
wonder, considering the fruits of the
contests for a contemptuous desig
nation of those deliberately violat
ing the Volstead act.
In lieu of a proud name for the!
spinsters has come this seductive j
foreign propaganda telling the young I
women of America to get out of their j
heads this youthful idea of careers j
and to take on the yoke of matrl-1
mony at one of the earlist opportun-,
Ities.
A quite famous protagomlst of the'
"new order" is none other than Lord !
William Cecil of London, who is soon
to sail for home after seeing his own I
son, the Hon. J. F. A. Cecil, of the
British embassy at Washington, mar
ried to the brilliant Miss Cornelia
Vanderbllt at Biltmore, N. C.
Lord William says a career may be
all right for a woman, but let it come
after she has married and brougnt
up her family and sent her children
In the way they should go. Then if'
she and her husband decide that
she should strive for a place in par-'
llanient, or on the county council,'
well and good.
But first of all, Lord William be-j
lieves in the ancient institution off
matrimony and that is his first and
last advice to the American girl he
has learned to know and admire so
much during his sojourn In this
country.
On top of Lord William's unequlv-l
ocal view, comes that of I>r. Aletta [
Jacobs, distinguished suffragist and
women physician of Holland. Out of
the fullness of her seventy years. Dr.
Jacobs avows that early marriage Is
to be regarded as one of the most
certain cures for the waves of im
morality which are sweeping the
world.
It is the opinion of the distin
guished lady of The Netherland th'.it
girls should marry at twenty?or
younger. In Holland marriages at
sixteen are not uncommon. There
are more at eighteen nnd still more
at twenty.
As a result of these early mar
riages, the flapper type of young w >
man has never ffourished long in
Holland, and there has been less up
setting of the moralities since the
war than In almost any other coun
try on the globe. Holland boasts of
fewer Illegitimate children than any
other country.
It Is not Dr. Jacobs' Idea, however,
that women should hccome parasite:*
at 1H or 18 or 20. She believes, con
trarily to Lord William Cecil that a
young woman can marry and hav>
a career too. in Holland, many of
the young women who marry are
working girls and they keep right on
working. It Is easy, according to
Glectrlcal Labor

of children while the mother is com-1

"Women," says Dr. Jacobs, "can J
never hope to excel If they work only i
a few years of their life,?before
marriage. Men work nearly all of
their life and naturally go farther
than the woman who works only a
very Bmall part of the time."
Thus the propaganda wages. What \

On account of rain Wednesday
afternoon the number of mothers
attending the Mother's Club at the
Fleetwood Community Building was
somewhat below the standard.
Thirteen members were present, ten
babies were weighed, six losing
in weight, three gaining and one
weighing the same. There were
four visitors. Mrs. J. H. Aydlett.
Mrs. J. M. Weeks. Mrs. 3. C. New
I bold and uMr?. It. T. Venters, and a
'number of small children. The
special feature of the afternoon
was a health talk by Dr. R. L. Ken
drick to the mothers, while the
; smaller children were entertained
i by Mrs. K. T. Venters exciting
[stories told in her engaging man
Iner. The talk made by Dr. Ken
drick was both healthful and Inter
esting and was much appreciated.
I He pointed out that if the best of
care was not given to the babies dur
ing the warmer months a loss In
weight would be the result. Dur
ing th? last mouth the members of ]
the club have been enthusiastic
workers and raised about 130.00.1
which goes to show that the club Is
helping to raise funds for a new
building and not depending alto
gether on others for the demands.
