FnF ITALIAN SERVANT GIRLS.
nreDreHented At the New York
Employment Agencies

Nxt to May, September is the month
in hich the employment agencies in
NW York are busiest, states the New
YORK Sun. Women who have to depend
qpoH these places note as a remarkable
eire instance that among the number
o. rls to be anGaUad for dom esfic serve
ice, including fi ish German
English and French coll
girls, Swiss and Russian girls, Cana
dian, Dutch, Polish, Scotch, Hungarian
and Bohemian girls, there are no Ital-
ians
This exception is the more surprising
because male Italians devote theme
selves largely to the class Of work which
most nearly corresponds to domestic
service among women. There are Ital-
ian walters, Italian Wallets and Italian
porters, not to speak Of Italian peddlerss
boOtblacks, BARRIERS and grOcerymen;
but there are no Italian servant. girls,
The dearth of these is the more sur
prising because Italy is one Of the coun-
tries in Europe in which the number
Of female births greatly exceeds the
number Of male births, and Italian girls,
usually precocious, do not lack training
in their own country as to the require
ments of household service, to which
they devote themselves almost exclu-
siveIy, there being few co-eds and still
fewer professional women in Italy
For many years the explanation Of
this anomaly was to be found in the fact
that large proportion Of the immigra-
ton from Italy was male, but in recent
years this disparity has not continued.
italian girls are not lacking in the at
tributes required for efficient house
hold service They are quick, indus
trious and frugal; they do not drink;
they have no t0p-I0fty s6CfHf notions;
there is little demand for their services
in such professional occupations as
typewriting, bookkeeping and stenog-
raphy The fact is that the girls in
clined to domestic duties marry. They
do not become servants.

OPEN WAY TO ROOSEVELT.
President without EncOunterinE
the Secret Service Guards.

The discussion as to whether there
are guards enough about the presidents
home at Oyster Bay recalled to two
men of New York city the other day an
incident of a year ago when they made
a first trip to the summer capital Of the
nation.
They didn't drive over by the regular
road from the village, but landed from
boat and then walked through the
woods and across lots up to Sycamore
HILL Neither knew the way, but they
assured each other that they'd know
the Roosevelt domain by the presence
of secret service men.
1t occurred to them when they thought
they were near the right place, though,
that it wouldn't do any harm to inquire
the way, so they walked across a field
and up the steps to the back Veranda
of a ine-lOoking house. Not a secret
service man was in sight around there.
A man was sitting on the veranda.
Can you tell us, asked one Of the
callers, where President Roosevelt's
house is?"
'This is President Roosevelt's house"
replied the man on the porch, who hap
pened to be Senator Burrows, of Michi-
gan.
And before the callers could recover
from their astonishment the president
himself appeared at a screen door open
ing on to the veranda, and said Good
morning, gentlemen"
This was a case Of two strangers ac-
cidentally stumbling upon the president
without even first seeing a private sec
retary, Vet alone a secret service man.

RADIUM IN MEDICINE.

and Blindness.

The Anglo-Indian Review sum.
marizes an interesting account Of the
possible future applications Of radi,
UNI. The area where success is prac.
tically assured Is at present not very
large, but in the medical field it Is al.
ready fairly extensive. Ia the work
ing Of X-rays and in the marvellous re.
suits achieved in the treatment OF can
Ger and blindness we have every hone
for great and universally benehting
results. In its industrial application
we are somewhat restricted by the
extremely limited supply Of radium
available, but 1t is stated that a small
fraction Of an ounce, properly en-
ployed, would probably provide a good
light sufficient for seVeral rooms, and
would not require renewal during the
present century. 1t has been calcu.
lated. that the energy stored up in one
gramme Of radium is suficient to

ounce would, therefore. suflce to drive
