WOMAN In TIE FIELD.

When the convention OF factory In
spectors opened in Detroit. Mich, II
was treated to an immediate sensation
In the paper of w. l.. Bodlne, of Chi
cago. He is superintendent OF comrul-
OF his paper was "The Competitive
Life" The competition he had sspc-
cially in mind seemed TO be that be
tween men and women, and be pro
duccd statistics to show the great in
crease In the number of women and
children at work for pay and the man
ner In which this displaces the work Of
men, says the Hartford Times. He
passed on to startie his hearers with
the assertion that woman IS destined
to be the ruling sex In indusirialism.
More specifically he declared that man,
like the Indian, is dying out and beng
driven out. that the birth rate among
the women workers Is increasing and
the death rate decrea sing. while the
reverse is true OF male workers, and
that before long ''man will be back

those fields of labor where only his
physical endurance will save him in
the struggle for survival There was
more about competition in the leader
ship OF society and such like, but this
1t is hardly necessary to consider.
The other matter may not be quite
so bad as Mr.. Bodine ina gines. For
instance. it may be better for a man
to work in the fields or the shop than TO
gather figures to show how much he is
injured by women who prove that they
are able to do well some other things
which men have been accustomed 10
do. IL the women can do the work
which makes less physical demand.
and II they wish to do 1t. where does
the injustice come in? II The men
who are likely to be displaced do not
like it 1t is open TO them 10 fight for
their places as they would against
other men, but 1t is not dignified 10
whine about being driven out by
women. 1t would not be possible for
this to happen unless the women We're
really dangerous rivals, and they could
not be this in the long run unless they
did the work efficiently and could be
depended on to accomplish ii day by
day and week by week
There are those who believe women
should not take up anything that has
been mems work. no matter how wei!
they can do 1t. They rely on belief
that 1t is unworthy Of women TO work
for wages, but admirable for them to
work twice as hard and with half the
independence in caring for n family
and keeping house for a husband.
Against that contention there is no
reasoning. 1t does not rest on reason
in the first place, but on tradition and
feeling and almost IL not quite on dog
ma, for the continued practice Of many
generations and the views which have
grown up and been transmitted with
it, and in part by reason Of 1t, are held
by the unthinking us somehow involved
in the order Of nature. True enough,
Saint Paul said: "Let. the women
learn in silence with all subjection,"
and ssBut suffer not woman to
teach" but It was he also who said:
"Prove all things; hold fast to that
which n good" And he Is not the
only man who has been in two minds
about woman. .,.

DAMAGE TO STREETS
APPROXiMATES $4,000,
SAYS SUPT. HANLEY

1.-The damage to the streets of Los
Angeles by the storm approximates
$35, ,000," said Street Superintendent
Hanley yesterday. 1T will be greater
before we are through with it. I fear
there will be some slides in the hill
districts. noticed one today near
Elysian park. 1t was not so large, but
they all count up.
"Streets all over the city are more or
less damaged, and we have been COM
PEELED to put large forces of men at
work. Streets which have been prop
erly oiled have stood the test we'll and
are not damaged to any great extent.
"This fact is noticeable on Grand
avenue, south of Washington, where
the flood water from Olive, Hill and
Hope streets all flows into Grand For
two days the street was veritable
river and considerable water is still
running down the east side, yet the
main portion of the street is all right.
Between the car tracks. where the oil
was put on but once, and then not
properly, the water has dug ditch
For years this street has caused
trouble and the surfacing has been
washed away by every storm, because
OF the influx of water from other
streets, but the oil saved it this year.
l simply mention this street as an ex-
ample Of what oil will do when prop
eriy applied"

STORM HAS PASSED
TO THE EAST, SAYS
F0RECASTER FRANKLIN

Forecaster Franklin said yesterday:
THE storm which has prevailed along
the California coast appears to have
divided, and is moving east, being
central in Colorado, where there is
rain. A portion still remains in the
vicinity of Puget Sound and will proba-
bly, pass east along the British border.
The storm in this part of the state was
caused by the consolidation of a storm
which moved north from Arizona and
one which moved south from the north.
The precipitation was heaviest in
Southern California. 1t was also heavy
in the vicinity of Point Conception.
THE rains were heavy in Arizona
and have spread to Texas, New MeXi-
co and Kansas. The barometer has been
rising steadily all day and the wind
has veered to west. These are the
conditions which follow the passing of
a storm east"
Clear weather is the forecast of the
local bureau for today
The rainfall in Los Angeles for the
past twenty-five years averaged about
16 inches, the lowest being 553 and the
highest 1918. This last occurred in
the season from September 1, 1888 to
September l, 1884.

DAMAGE REPAIRED AND
TRAFFIC RESUMED ON
ALL THE RAILROADS

Traffic between Los Angeles and
Northern California points was re-
sumed late last night, when tine damage
near Bakersfield was repaired suffi-
ciently to admit of the passage of sew
eral trains. These trains will reach
Los Angeles some time this morning.
Several trains came in over the
Southern Pacific via Ell Paso, yester-
day, bringing many passengers and a
great quantity of freight. While much
delay has been caused by washouts in
Arizona and New Mexico the most seri-
Gus damage was done at Cajon pass,
near Bakersfield, where traffic. has been
tied up since Saturday.
Reports received last night indicate
that the railroads will be cleared today
and traffic resumed on schedule time.
Several trains started north over the
Southern Pacific last night.
The telegraph and telephone wires.
which were blown down by the storm,
practically isolating Los Angeles from
the rest of the world. have, with few
exceptions, been repaired.

SEARCH FOR BODIES
OF STORM VICTIMS
IS WITHOUT RESULT 7

Careful search all of yesterday failed
to locate the bodies of any of the five
men who were reported drowned at
different points Monday as a result of
the storm.
A number of police officers and citi-
zens tried in vain to find the bodies
Of the two men who are supposed
to have been swept away and drowned
by the current following the collapse
of the Seventh street bridge. Persons
who saw the large viaduet go down
are positive they saw the two dead
bodies swept past them by the cur
rent.
The local authorities have not been
advised of any casualties outside of
Los Angeles. Efforts are being made,
however, to locate the bodies of the
two men reported drowned near Santa
Monica and the one swept away in
Cajon pass it is said.
1t has been impossible to establish
the identity of any of the storm vic
