OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

1t is well pleasing to note the increas
ing number of women going into news
paper work in the smaller cities of tho
Union. The daily papers in many of
these smaller cities have really more
genuine originality and scope than the
great, many blanketed sheets. for all
their fuss and feathers. On the Jour
nal of the small inland city there Is
more Americanism of sentiment. CON
sequently less prejudice against wo-
mems occupying responsible places.
than can be found in centers like New
York and Chicago. Aspiring young
women begin to find this out. and are
knocking at the door Of journalism in
towns where it will be opened to them.
1t is pleasing, too, to note that many
of these young women are college grad
yates, trained to write good English
and to use their brains to think. To
those who serve their apprenticeship
faithfully in the country towns, if later
they desire to hazard their fortunes in
one of the great cities, the way will
open. Portraits and sketches of the

promotion. Miss Lee watches every
item of her local department till the
paper goes to press al 2 in the morning.
Many time it is necessary for her to
60 out at night and get a hurried news
story which the nervy. brainy young
woman does without the least hesita-
ton and in perfect security.
A summer woods camp for girls has
been suggested. where they may live in
freedom and enjoy physical sports at

along-their own brothers, also some
other girls brothers.
The woman who tolls like a slave

strong and expert swimmer, was in the
water off the pier. She was perform

the swimmers, thought this motion Of
Miss Bernard was a signal for help.
He snatched a buoy, and threw 1t to-
