THE CORE CANADA Where help in the home is scarcest DOMESTIC help it is often a big problem here at home. Think what it means on the lonely prairie farms of Western Canada. You cannot "send things to the laundry if you live a day's journey from a town; you cannot hire a charwoman to help with the scrubbing. But the men and women who run these farms ate among the most enterprising and up-to-date in the world. They have cars, wireless, telephones, the latest labour-saving machinery and they have Sunlight Soap.

Throughout Canada, in the great cities as on the remote farms, you will find Sunlight everywhere, a a And the sales are continually increasing not only in Canada, but throughout the Empire and the world. That is a fact of which British women may be proud. For was they who first recognised supreme purity and quality of Sunlight Soap the ease with which lathers, even in the hardest water, how it saves labour, makes clothes last longer and leaves everything sweet and fresh.

Freudian theories, and educational fcxpei intents. change in our social or economic WAYS OF USING IT Considering the acknowledged whole-someness of hoiwy, as well as the fact that from Britain nd British colonies comes uv best honey in the world, it is surprising how little we use it in cooking.

Most of us, if we use it at all, are content to put a dish of it on the tea-table particularly on the nursery tea-table to be eaten with bread. And if we find, as we so often do, that the children prefer jam or marma-j It is not ever body that likes the taste( or consistency of honey cold and raw, as it were. So we make one offer of it, and when it is refused we are at our wits' end to finish the jar. Yet there are several excellent ways in which honey can be made use of other than in its plain state. It can be served hot as a sauce with either suet or sponge puddings, or with pancakes if we like, containing honey as an ingredient).

It can be used as part of the sweetening when making marmalade, in which case very much less sugar will be needed. It can be made into various sorts of cakes and biscuits, or served (again hot) for tea on a cold day with waffles or Johnny cakes in the American fashion. The Continental nations, especially at Christmas time, make many enkes loeil iby the children and supremely wholesome in which honey is combined with ginger, sugar, ud various spices. And a further advantage of such goodies is that they keep perfectly fresh for weeks on end if stored in a tin box. HONEY CAKE.

One sort of honey c.ike is made thus. Mix and sieve together ljlb. of flour, quarter of a grated nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls of ground ginger, one tcaspoonful of bicarbonate, and half a one of Bftlt. Beat, together 4oz. sugar and 4oz.

butter or margarine. AVhen creamy add alternately the flour mixture and Jib. of honey, stirring well till the whole forms a smouth dough. Roll on a floured board till iin. in thickness and cut into louiul cakes of the desired mzo.

imt -IH minutes' in a moderate oven should hake them. Thoy are further improved by a thin sugar icing when cold. A German recipe begins by melting lib. honey in a saucepan, and stirring into this when piping hot 6oz. moist sugar, Zoz.

sliced candied 3emon, 4oz. chopped and blanched sweet almonds, and loz. powdered cinnamon. Enough flour is than added to make quite a stiff paste, vhieh must ho rolled out several times to ensure perfect smoothness, and cut into quarter-inch-thick calces, ll.ilf an hour's baking in greased tins will he enough for this. A delicious pudding for an emergency is made by sweetening some warm milk with honey, dipping stale fingers of bread into it, chaining, frying to a golden brown, audi serving with not honey poured over.

Ilonev pancakes are made in the same way as ordinary ones, but with a tablespoonfiil of honev added the hatter and hot honey served with thorn. Where honey is used slice or two of lemon will often eoirecl the sweetness, which many people find raiher cloying. C. Something to Stick HOME-MADE PASTE Theio arc many occasions on which paste can he used. Wallpaper has a nastv habit of detaching itself from a damp wall, and leather will peel from the top of the library table and the family Bible.

Paste is better than glue for sticking le'ather and paper, and glue has the advantage for all book clothb. For office use prepared paste in bottles is dearer but quite economical by its convenience and excellent keeping properties. For attaching leather to desks and other articles a stiffer paste is necessary. I have tested many patent nasty, powders and cold wnter" pastes, and found some of them quite good but none of them better than the ordinary flour paste in at most bookbinding establishments. Half a pound of flour and half an ounce of powdered alum should be raised well with cold water to form a thin pate without any lumps.

It should then he heated gently, ana continually stirred until it begins to boil, when a small quantity of rarbolic acid can bo added. The paste should be kept for. five minutes on the hod, and stirred vigorously to prevent burning. When cold, it should form a thick which will keen for a very long time, and can be thinned by the addition of water. For some uses the addition of a little glue makes the paste stick more quickly.

If a whiter paste is needed so that no stain-, may bo caused on drlii-atc paper, half tiie quantity of wheaten flour may be left out anil cornflour subatiiuted. ftire-ilour or starch are even better substitutes vinore whiteness i the chior consideration, but for superior stickinc properties the beet wheaten flour that can he procured will be found the cheapest in the t-nd. Paste that is in rontinual use is handily kept in a wooden box with a twisted cord acrosB the top to wipe tho brush on. Paste brushes are best bound with string, as metals corrode and oficn rnue a nastv indelible stain on lfce material that is patfd. T.

Motorists Summoned for Neglect of Mirror Order.

When several motor owners were summoned before the Manchester City Magistrates for failing to comply with the new order respecting the provision of a mirror on their vehicles, one of them protested against the way in which information about the regulation had been given to motorists. He suggested that a great deal of trouble and confusion would have been saved -if the authorities had informed the owners by post of their liabilities in the matter. It was pointed out by the Bench a fortnight's grace bad been allowed in Manchester by the Chief Constable before enforcing the order, and an announcement to that effect had been made through the newspapers. KILLED BY BOXES FALLING FROM LORRY. Schoolijirl's Death.

Hilda Dean, a schoolgirl, of Marsh Lane, Fordhouses, Wolverhampton, was killed by a fall "of orange boxes from a lorry yesterday. The girl was on the footpath going to school, and a lorry, laden with boxes full of oranges, was going from Liverpool Bocks -to Wolverhampton market. It is believed that when the lorry was passing the children the camber of the road caused the load of boxes to lean towards the footpath and hit an electric standard.

ITALIAN CHAMBER'S LAST SESSION.

The Memory of Giolitti. (From our Correspondent.) Rome, Thuksoat. The Chamber opened its twenty-seventh and last sitting lait evening, as the new Corporative Chamber will be constituted under 'the Eascist Iieionu Law early next year. The' present session -will last only 'three week during which an immense -amount of k-gislation -will gone consisting of 41 bills and .123 con-' versions of decrees issued by the Prune Minister into law. In yesterday's, sittingthe President of the Chamber Signor Casertano, recalled the memory 0f those deputies who had died since lasf-session.

ignor Giohtti he said, had" been live-times Prime Minister and for forty years was the. chief 'personality in Italian politics. He had had a clear conception of a strong State such as the Italian people wanted, but possibly his methods had often benn inadequate. When in 1915 the Italian people lfd. War -tha historic Pent the political prestige of Giohtti had declined.

He returned to the Government in 1921. when the new Sf'Su' a vtle cfy was foreshadowed but henceforth only the new energies, which rose -out of the victorious war could guide Italy to-the triumphal goal towards which Facism was daily travelling. "-After- tha Facism' GPttl from this renewed activity." said Signor Casertano, -but we rnust niPFH 8cat House with dignity and reserve." Shoara Salt Lobel. of kancfaester, delivered last night the first -lecture of the first series organised by the Doueiaa aown flees." of which practical demonstrations tvere' I EFT ft mi i WIVES WHO WORK Chance threw into my hands yester day two journals published by women's Organisations: a Women's Institute journal from England and the Journal the American Association of University Women. Turning the pages of the English paper 1 came across an indig nant letter signed A Mere Man," in the way that indignant men will sign when they wish to indicate that they are some thing bo much more than mere.

Mere Man" was furinns with the Women's Institute because in his district there are thirty-seven engagements in sis momns, ana no mention is mane of committee meetings, classes for folk-dancine and for handicrafts. In a little country town the Institute has held a summer fete, a mnible sale, a tombola, and a two-day indoor fete within six months." He, says that this is all very well for the wives. I know how much" the Institute has meant to the average country woman. But the thinss which the husbands say about the Institutes are "unprintable." Surelv a married woman's place is at home when the man comes home from work. If I came home from work at six (which I don't) and hod to set my own tea, things would happen." He leally is very cross indeed.

He makes you feel that the first of those things which would happen would he a very had tea. Had temper never fries coort Oaeon. He is one of that still exten sivo number of husbands who feel them selves entitled to the full-time services of whatever woman thev have married, and if wives aren't waiting in the home with tea ready at the very moment when their husbands appear at the door they'll larn 'em. THE WARM WIFELY WELCOMC. Local authorities, private employers, and wives themselves frequently encounter similar stalwart championB of the Cause of Husbands.

Theiis not to reason whv theirs but to demand that the wives do or die, lost six o'clock tea, carpet slippers, and the warm wifely welcome bliould perish from the home. And, indued, it may be true that a man who marries a woman on the express understanding that he will pay for her if she will be his housekeep'er lias a grievance when he find3 the housekeep ing neglected and tbe wite at a tombola. It may be so. Yet I rather think that Mere Man gives the case away when he confesses that lie knows how much the women's institutes have done for women. If they have satisfied a need among the country women something must have been lacking in their lives before, and no woman leadinc an incomplete, stunted sort of life is going to mnke a really admirable wife.

It happened that in the American University Women's Journal an article appeared which piovided an interesting comment upon this wrathful husband. It was a summary by Anne liyrd Kennon of reports collected by the Research Department of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union of Boston on College wives who work. The Union had set about its job in the thorough, unsentimental fashion typical of the modern American University. No nonsense here about the finer shades of ethics or the domestic traditions of a great nation. It put facts first, theories afterwards, and conclusions very far behind, instead of shouting out the conclusions fiist, and filling in the subsequent gaps with bluster." From four big groups of university women the Union-collected evidence about 11,474 women graduates 3,333 of these had married, and 12 per cent of the mairicd women worked outside the home.

There follow imposing statistics of the degrees held, hours of work, and types of employment. Office manage! teachers, insurance salesmen, chemists, dressmakers, research workers, welfare supervisors, doctors, scenaiio writers, and bookkeepers are among the eases examined. Some women have children; some have not. Some work with their husbands, as college teachers, doctors, lawyers, and business partners. Others pursue entirely different activities.

But beside these figures, useful and interesting though they may be in showing salaries, jobs, and chances of piomo-tion. the Union has collected a considerable body of material based upon opinion. Itow far has the combination worked? How far is it satisfactory? What is the price paid by those households for the hbertv of wives to work? There are some mothers who find i-difiicult to give adequate attention to young children. One writes This is not it satisfactoi way of living. It is detrimental to my little girl.

However, wo manage better since she is in school." One mother gets up eaily, bathes and drosses two babes, gives them their breakfast, and leaves at eight o'clock, when the nurse arrives. She gets her own breakfast in "all day, eats supper in town, and returns at seven to find her nurse with her wraps on ready to leave. These are the mothers who have not been able to evolve any very practical arrance-ments for their nurseries. A resident nurse would solve the second problem; the first seems to be answered by a mother of six children who toadies in the music department of a colleee. She writes I enjov teaching music, and I am not a brilliant success as a house- UKRAINIANS UNDER POLISH RULE.

Inquiry into Lemberg Riots. (From our Correspondent.) Warsaw, November 17. On a motion introduced by the Government bloc, the Diet has appointed a commission of inquiry to investigate the cause and effect ot the rioting between the Poles and Ukrainians hich has taken place recently in Lemberg, and to make recommendations for the punishment of those found culpable. It seems to have been definitely established that the disorders on November 1 began with the Ukrainians desecrating the graves- of Polish patriots who fell in the "Defence oi Lemberg ten years ago. The retaliation of the Poles was prompt and unmerciful, since it is not denied that the Ukrainian University was raided, that Ukrainian property was destroyed, and that the Polish gendarmerie fired into crowds of Ukrainian demonstrators.

The important point in this particular case, however, is that the Poles were not directly the aggressors and that, if the Ukrainians had gone more peacefully about their business of demonstrating, the November celebrations would presumably have passed off without bloodshed. The incident nevertheless has tad a crofoundly disturbing effect on Polish-Ukrainian relations. and has served once more to bring Polish treatment of minorities, and of the Ukrainians in particular, into the foreground of discussion. Liberal Poles are only too conscious of the justice of the charge raised by Ukrainian sympathisers that Poland's" minority policy is -oppressive, and at times inhumanly so in the case of the Ukrainians. It is somewhat of an exaggeration to claim that Polish onpression of the Ukrainians to-day is the exact -counterpart of Russian keeper.

I have an excellent Bohemian woman to do the cleaning and cooking. I think perhaps the children enjoy the music more than they would enjoy mo if I had let my muic slip and devoted myself mainly to housework." WHAT THE HUSBAND THINKS. As for the husbands, their opinions seem to vary. Of course there is a difference between the wife who devotes herself A-holly to her husband's comfort and the wife who is following a career of her own. One Boston teacher says that though she could teach and look after her child quite easily she could not do this and play bridge and amuse her husband and his men friends in the evening.

The report concludes that for a happy combination of a professional pursuit and manied life six things are necessaiy the husband's active co-opeiation, health, adequate household assistance, framing before marriage, adjustable hours of work, and various ariangemcnts for the children; and of these perhaps the most important is the husband's co-operation. Why should he co-operate? our angry he-husband might inquire. Why should he voluntanlv lose a hostess an entertainer, a devoted slave? Probably lecause be counted tiie cost and found it well worth while. If the cost of thee joint marriages includes less leisure for the mother to spend with her children, on the credit side must be reckoned the advantage to the father. The husband of a full-time mother rarely eoes near the nursery.

It i wholly his dep.ntnient; it i her job in life. And thus he loses much joy in his own children. But thu hushand of a professional woman has great fun in the nuiwrv. He often hfcomes proficient with hath? and toys and pram and drying-rails. He may even be the 'irst discoverer of a newly cut tooth, the firt to hear a newly spoken word.

He can hold forth learnedly on Montessori methods, oppression of the Poles only a short time atro but it is only too evidrnt that the piesent-day attitude of the Poles towards the Ukrainians is havinz precisely the s.ime effect as fiusrian oppression of Poland throughout the lrst century. It is quickening the national spirit and stirnulatine a feeling of hatred that may some day result in the becoming the oppressors. One specific grievance of the Ukrainians is that, because of the peculiarities of Oalician law, they are virtually denied a voice in local government and municipal matters. Another is that the land laws and the conditions of land-ownership in that section of Poland are extremely irksome to the Ukrainians because they virtually condemn the peasants to a state of serfdom. Like so manv of the minority and regional problems of Eastern Europe, the roots of the Ukrainian grievances lie more in economic and social grounds than in political.

Liberal opinion in Poland, which has not yet forgotten the condition of affairs existing before 1914, would unquestionably be willing to meet the Ukrainians more than half-way in reconcilinsc the differences between the two peoples, -which are growing more and more acute i.ith the passage of time. Unfortunately, however, liberal opinion in Poland is not in favour with the present regime. DOG'S BODY EMBALMED. Miss Bath Wooster, a wealthy American, who sailed in the White Star liner Homeric for New York on Wednesday, took with her the embalmed body of her favourite pedigree fox -terrier in a lead-lined, eilk-padded elm coffin, for interment in the animal cemetery in her garden. The annual rate of mortality in England and Wales last week averaged 11.3 per thousand.

habits is made without some loss. As every year more wives in England and Amenci ko out to earn their Jiving, as those who arc housekeepers by profession more lnteiots outside the home, we nay at fust pav bv loss of some airs and ci aces of social intercourse, some legaiit't some comfort. It is absurd to ignore the cost. The real question to ask i- Aio the gains worth while? Freedom to develop individual talents, the use by society ot the bust minds to seive her, eo-oneration in intelligent work, equality of (ho exes, the gradual disappearance of the whole system of snobbery created by the hierarchy of leisured women? Are not those worth little discomfort, even to the Mere Man whose six o'clock tea mav sometimes be a few minutes late? W. H.

The Raincoat Few- people care much about appearance when it is pouring with rain and naturally choose old garments. The makers of raincoats have endeavoured for many years to overcome this, to them, unprofitable habit of reserving an old and shabby coat for bad weather. The introduction of co'our into rainproof garments has done much to brighten the streets on a wet day. hut bright colours are not quite so popular as they were, and the newer raincoats are in more sober fawns, preys, and greens, although pretty pastel shades are very popul.ir for children. One of the best materials for a raincoat is made of cotton.

Probably two-thirds of the cloth used in the making of weatherproof garments has been woven on Lancashire loons, and this material is both licht in weinht and durable in wear. of raincoats now pay far more to fashion and titling than they used to do in the days when the styles for weatherproof garments followed those adopted, by the fashionable tailors. AN INDIVIDUAL AND DIFFERENT PARTY. Runcim-m on Liberalism Southport, Wednesday. Mrs.

Ttunciman, addressing a crowded meeting of womon Liberals at Southport to-night, suid that there was a very great deal of Liberalism going about the coun-: try just now. The Conservatives had adopted much Liberal legislation in recent years, the Socialist party was becoming very Liberal too, and so their enemies said to them: "Why should you bother to exist at all Why cannot some of you turn a little to the right and become Conservative, and the others turn a little to the left and become Labour, and let the Liberal party disappear? It will be much more convenient for everyone concerned." "We arc not so simple as to take that advice' said Mrs. Eunciman, and 1 hope that the Emaller our numbers in the House of Commons the more resolute we shall be to maintain our Liberal faith throughout the country. Our3 is the party that has the highest ideals for the betterment of mankind, combined with the best practical sense of getting them into operation. I rather like to get back to the olti Gladstonian tradition and to realise that if we want to improve the world we can only do it by first seeing that we have a secure foundation of prosperity; and the three things essential to that security, are peace, economy, and Free Trade.

We want Liberals to make sure that the League of Nations is a reality, to make sure that economy is practised in our great spending departments, and we certainly rely only on Liberals to defend the principles of Free Trade, li there are some Socialists who really ars Liberals and some" Conservatives who have Liberal tendencies, let them come and join ns. I don't believe we shall have any success in making an appeal to the country unless we are convinced that what we have to offer is a distinctive policy, a distinctive theory of Emblem i'maSami- it ASSORTMENT From now o-' iue lecture..
