DR.. Ward Urges Their Establishment
FOR Workinc Girls.

E a
New York Tribune: DR.. Frances
Ward, medical adviser to the Women
Workers council of London, England,
has been in the city for the last few
weeks studying the condition of work
ing girls. She is h guest Of friends at
the Buckingham and will leave for
England on Saturday.. During her stay
here DR.. Ward has toured the east side.
looking into the aWeatshop conditions
existing there, and also many of the
large factories where women are chiefly
employed.
q find the condition OF the working
girl here much the same as it is in Lon"
don" said DR.. Ward yesterday to a Trib-
une reporter. There is much room for
Improvement of her condition gener-
ally, both here and in England. What
the working girl needs most is more
cheerful and healthful surroundings
and better food. She should be allowed.
too, opportunities, as well as given
encouragement to go in for systematic
physical exercises. That could be man
aged here by forming an athletic clu
or association among the working girls.
In London we already ave such an Or
ganization, which is called the Work
Ing Girls Drill company, and displays
or drills take place three times q week
in " large halls built especially for
the purpose by public subscription.
The girls of the company number
5000, and were drawn from twelve
clubs composed exclusively of working
girls in London, most of whom are em-
ployed In factories. The girls while at
drill all wear gymnasium dress, each
club having distinctive colors. Under
the direction of experienced teachers
the girls are put through a series Of
exercises, including dumbbells and In
I dian club drills, and sometimes horn
pipe dancing. Tt is needless, OF course,
to mention the benefits the working
girl derives from membership in such
an organization.
from what I have seen Of them I
must say that the working women here
as a whole, while a little brighter men
tally than their class in London, are in
ferior in physique and stamina
THE small wage which the majority
OF the working girls earn here as well
as in London does not permit them to
spend oycrmuch on food They have to
consider ~cheapness first irrespective of
quality, and they certainly give prece-
dencc to ulk quite regardless of nutri-
tive value The dietary of most of them
here seems to be made up of coffee or
goods, fried fish, cheese and too often
condensed milk. The standard aimed
at is q satisfying anG stimulating
diet. Coffee is taken because it Is
stimulating and one or more of the
bulky articles to fill up.

The cavern rat, found in the Nam.

blush color, with white neck and feet
It has enormous eyes, black as night,
but quite unprovided with irises.
These eyes are perfectly insensible
to light, and when the experiment has
been made of catching a cavern rat
and turning 1t loose in the bright sun
light it blunders about, striking itself
against everything, is unable to pro-
vide itself with food and finally falls
down and dies.

able to lead comfortable enough ex.

the cotton grown in the Southern
states is one of the great commercial
interests. American cotton is exported
to all the manufacturing countries Of

Recently In Marseilles M. Paul Bour
darie delivered lecture before the
Chamber of Commerce, In which he
discussed this proposition: What II
the United States should manufacture
the whole Of its cotton products, leav
ing none for export?
The 800 French spinning mills and
the $50 weaving mills, besides the dye
ing and finishing mills, would have tc
close their doors, thus throwing into
the street 250OOO laboring people, ant
producing an economic crisis of disas

nth an opposltlon to Progress.

| Filth an Opposition 70 progress.
This calls to mind the southern
statesman who vigorously opposed all
measures of sanitary reform because
he believed that disease was the de-
tense the Creator had provided for mis-
people. He argued that yellow fever
was a better protection against white
invasion than q stone wall built
around his country; that 1t were bet
ter for his people to remain In the
filth Of their surroundings and be un.
molested than to make themselves
clean and suffer white neighbors
Such a policy, il followed out. would
certainly cause this fellow and his ad-
herents to be swept up with their rub-
bish and disposed Of as unceremoni-
ously as garbage is treated. The marcn
of progress is too swift for its advance
to be checked by barricades of filth.
Odd Customs Of South America.
Tie South American lawmakers and
officials create many odd rules for the
government of their countrymen. The
matter of passenger service on the
railway offers an instance. On one
line the distinction between first and
second class passengers is the wear
ing of shoes. No barefooted persons
are allowed in the best coaches. A
we'll dressed man, carrying baby
boy, was made to ride in the second.
class apartment because the infant
had no shoes on. He was told that he
could go first class, but the child could
not.
Another odd custom which Ia sup
posed to be distinctive Of gentility 10
the wearing of cravats. At any pub.
lie functional least those intended
for the masses-the only men that are
turned away are those who have no
neckties. A man may have on white
shirt ard collar. and patent leather
shoes, but the tie is the badge of re-
speciality without which none can
enter. The matter of taxes Is reduced
to science. All beggars must pay
tax for that privilege. All professional
men, such as engineers, dentist, doc.
tors and teachers. can be distinguish.
ed from the ordinary citizen because
they wear ring on the first finger
of the left hand. One OF the best
customs in vogue, and one which
would work as great public convent
ence If practiced in the United States,
is the rule of allowing no more people
in street car than can comfortably
be seated.
Much has been said Of the polite
ness of South Americans, and, in the
main they are deserving Of their repu.
tation In this respect, but one cannot
help noticing how groups of men and
boys obstruct the sidewalks. No nat.
ter how many ladies may pass. these
loungers obstruct the passage and
drive all pedestrians into the street
