American Woman's Work In London

Some years ago Alice Smith, a lovely
Philadelphia Quaker girl in London,
was married to an Englishman, Hon.
Bertrand Russell Something, per
haps an invisible power, called Mrs.
Russell's attention to the deplorable
drunkenness among British factory
girls. This was actual and no fancy.
Mrs. Russell. in order to study condi-
tions, dressed herself as one Of the
working girls and really labored in the
factories at times.
Occasionally. clad in her working
garb. she watched where the girls went
on receiving their wages on pay day.
Once in less than half an hour she
saw forty-seven girls go into drinking
saloons from their factories. In the
saloons of one neig,lborhool she found
118 women, and fourteen of them had
babies in their arms. Girls seemed to
glory in getting drunk.
Shocked at such revelations. the
Quaker soul of Mrs. Russell began to
devise means to check the inte1nper-
ance of London factory women.

One Russian Hebrew Girl.

Tyna Heiman. Russian Jewish girl
from Kishineff, came to this country
to Boston about four years and a half
ago. She had some education in Rus
sian, but none at all in English. In
her fourteenth year she entered the
Boston public schools and was put in
the primary department, lowest grade,
First Reader. She remained there two
days; then her teacher, seeing she was
misplaced, promoted her to the third
grade, skipping the second. The pro-
motions came so rapidly that Tyna
Heiman appeared to be marvel. In
ten months this young Russian He
brew girl accomplished six years. work
Of the Boston public school course.
Next she took in three years the pre-
scribed four years instruction OF the
Boston girls high school.

The popular interest displayed in the
subject Of car sanitation and car venti-
lation by the boards of health Of the
larger cities has evoked some criticism
Of the railroad companies for not ,glv-
ing more attention to matter Of such
vital interest to their passengers. The
laboratory Of the Marine hospital serv-
Ice has been Investigating this subject
for some time. DR.. Walter Wyman,
surgeon general of the Marine hospital
service, says: Just how much danger
there is of contagion through vitiated
air in the ordinary day coach now in
use or in the Pullman sleeping and pal
ace cars has not yet been definitely de-
termined, and the matter Is still being
investigated. Information collected
points to the state of Texas as having
been the pioneer in this movement, due
doubtless to its excellent railroad CON-
mission. 1t is held that there is much
danger to the passengers of contracting
contagious diseases from the fine dust
arising from the carpets apd upholstery
while the cars are In motion and which
imperfect ventilation compels the pas
sengers to inllale. '-Medical News.

would be equally dangerous. There
would be bonfire of every copy in the

priests had taught of astro nony had
been contradicted and refutei And then
