THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ The Latest News on Cooking as a Sex Function MONG the results of the war nothing has been more devastating than the show-down in regard to industry and sex. We have smugly as- sumed that certain occupations were inherently male and others female. The war has shown that necessity cares nothing for sex distinctions. From time immemorial cooking has been listed as a female occupa- tion. In modern times this theory has been extensively modified as the result of the invasion of men into practically all the well-paid cooking jobs. If the salary i is a few dollars, the cook is female. If the salary looms to attractive sums, the cook is male. So women have settled down with all their historic meekness and accepted the idea that cooking in its most efficient terms was a male and not a female talent. At this point enters the war and the British government proceeds to discover that the substitution of women cooks would save its commissariat about ten million dollars a year with the added advantage of better food and a more varied diet. This war bulletin forces us to revise not only our theory of cooking as a sex function but of war also. It introduces women in the réle of ac- tive participants rather than passive victims. Can anyone tell us why, now that we have such a start in revising old sex theories, that we should not keep right on and admit that, if women are to play no more the pas- sive part in war, why should they play it in the government which declares war? In short—Votes for Women. Politicians Should Practise Pleasing Women Constituents LISTEN to the Congressmen in Washington chatting with the suffrage lobbyists; listen to politicians anywhere, and it will be shown that they have the habit of forgetting, as too trifling to be worried over, the wishes of women. It was the theory of the Common Law, which most American states took over from England, that a woman who secured a husband needed nothing else—not even her identity. A man from Kansas City whose mental habits harked back to the archaic common law found himself not long ago trying to find his wife in an Eastern city where she was visit- ing her mother. Night came on and he was still out in the wet. He had forgotten his wife’s maiden name. Her identity having no valuc, why should he bother to remember it? He hadn’t, and there he was. Moral: The day is approaching when women all over this country will be able to enforce their wishes because they are voters. Many a pol with a belated mind will find himself out in the cold, because old habit hard to change, and he persists in regarding the wishes of women as trifling, in a time when women, as well as men, can make and unmake politicians and statesmen. These gentlemen would do well practising the part they must play in the future, if they would survive as part of the new politi- cal régime. Where Beauty is an Asset in Judges OMETHING new is to be found in the newspaper attention a successful judge in the city of Seattle. It is not that attorne that ca: move more promptly before Judge Whitehead than in other courts. It is not that Judge Whitchead often knows more about the de- tails of a case than the attorney who is trying it. is Judge Whitehead can gain the confidence of sinners as no one is this: “No sketch of Judge Whitehead would be complete statement that the judge is ‘More than Pretty’ and that after election the press announced that Seattle had the prettiest judge in the United States.” Judges have lived and exhorted sinners to repentance, but never before has it been considered a matter of public interest whether they were pretty ornot. But, you see, times have changed and Judge Whitehead is not only “‘a most righteous judge,” but a woman as well, and even the vote is powerless to remove the double standard of value for men and women. Beauty still ranks as an asset for the women of the West, and the public will not be satisfied in béing told that a woman is a most able judge, but it wants to know whether she is also a most beauteous one. A youth may join the cullers, but his future depends on what he culls. comicbooks.com
