This Judge magazine page contains two distinct pieces of satire about women's roles and rights in early 20th-century America. **"Her Place"** mocks men who claim "a woman's place is in the home" while simultaneously relying on women workers as stenographers, clerks, waitresses, and manicurists. The piece cites statistics showing 586,193 working women in New York City alone, exposing the hypocrisy of confining women to domestic roles while benefiting from their labor. **"A Step in the Right Direction"** satirizes the disconnect between voting rights and actual political power. It describes a woman who, recognizing that city services (inspected milk, city water, sewers) directly affect homemaking, votes with the banner "GIVE MOTHERS THE VOTE SO THAT THEY CAN PROTECT THEIR BUSINESS OF HOMEMAKING"—only to watch male voters deny the logical connection between women's domestic responsibilities and their need for political representation. Both pieces argue for women's suffrage by highlighting women's essential economic and social roles that men hypocritically depend upon while denying them political voice.

They may be interested to bow that 586,193 women in New York Giy stand as so many stubborn facts to qatrovert their delightful theory while in the Empire State itself one-third of the wmen inhabitants, a nice little group of ofj,686 women, look slightly dazed when thy hear the anti slogan, since the shop, the fatory and the school look much more familiar to them than the home. STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION The Lion and The Lamb vs. Politics and The Home By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ Ae the lion and the lamb lay down together—the lamb inside the lion. Ad politics and the home lay down tygther—the home inside of politics. So she fed her family city-inspected wik and government-inspected meat; she mashed the dishes with water from the city Rervoir, and emptied her dishpan into the Gty sewer. And being a logical minded pesoa, albeit a female, she then hied out on the eve of November 2 and toted a banner Sying: GIVE MOTHERS THE VOTE SOTHAT THEY CAN PROTECT THEIR BUSINESS OF HOMEMAKING.

CW, Meta Co, Baltimore: Moos CADYY Bell Telephone Exhibit, Panama-Pacifie Exposition, A Wonder of Wonders “It is the most beautiful and inspiring Exposition the world has ever seen.”—President Hadley Yale, in speaking of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. VERY American should feel it a duty as well as a privilege to visit the Panama-Pacific Exposition and view its never-equaled exhibits of achievements in Art, Science and Industry. In all this assemblage of wonders, combining the highest accomplish- ments of creative genius and mechan- ical skill, there is none more wonder- ful than the exhibit of the Bell Telephone System. Here, in a theatre de luxe, the welcome visitors sit at ease while the marvel of speech transmission is pictorially revealed and told in story. They listen to talk in New York, three thousand miles away; they hear the roar of the surf on the far-off Atlantic Coast; they witness a dem- onstration of Transcontinental teleph- ony which has been awarded the Grand Prize of Electrical Methods of Communication. This Transcontinental Line has taken the thought, labor and ingenuity of some of the greatest minds in the scientific world. Yet it is but a small part of the more wonderful universal service of the Bell System, which makes possible instant communication between all the people of the country.
