The special relations of the other powers, geographical, economic, ethical and historical, with the scene of tho conflict, are such that they cannot be expected not to claim a voice when the time comes for a permanent settlement." i 1 ' i WOULD PENSION ALL U. S. MOTHERS x if V That each woman who bears a child shall receive a pension of $25 ,is one of the provisions of a bill , which Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, the dean of the Washington College of Law the only exclusively women's law school In the country is advocating advo-cating before congress.

Mrs. Mussey, in discussing her bill, said that much of the blame for the white .slave traffic in this country could be laid to the failure of mothers to properly instruct their growing daughters. The sponsor for tois bill is one of the most prominent women in professional profes-sional life in the United cAates. She has been a practitioner before the Supreme Court of the United States for fifteen years, and she was at one lime a member of the school board of Washington and was the most prominent promi-nent figure in that board. !

"The pork chop is just as much my meat as your meat or any man's ' meat The only thing I have against pork chops is theirvTje. No superstition super-stition that tabooes pork has any terrors for me or any othef reformed Jew. "We have nothing to do with ancient and abandoned tribal Juju.
