The use of wine-by the mass of peo-

comparatively little wine is produced

licensing Of home-worl1ing sweaters
It is interesting to note, is the result
OF observations made in America
where the system obtains in several
States. That England should seek a
lesson from America in a matter so
important is decidedly fattering in
view of the fact that just at present,
owing to- the revelations of the beef
trusts inquities and the insurance
scandals, American methods generally
are in bad odor here.
When my husband and / visited
the United States" said Mrs. Mac
donald, I'VE made special study of
labor conditions and soon discovered
how erroneous is the popular notion
that sweating does not exist in the
land of the free In some sections
it is almost as bad as in parts of Eu-
KIT IN 70 he
born American it should be acknowl-
edged that most of the sweating in
the United States is done by men and
women who have gone to America
from continental countries in the hope
OF bettering their condition, but carry
ing with them degraded standard of
living. They get caught in the grip
OF the fierce competitive struggle and
their visions of comfort vanish in the
reality of endless drudgery and anx-
iety for daily bread
But despite this Americans have
accomplished much more than we
have in the way of coping with the
sweating evil by legislation Eight
States have adopted the licensing sys-

it only attacks directly the sanitary
side OF the problem, by setting a
standard III one particular below
which conditions may not fall, it in
directly raises the minimum standard
all around. The worker who secures
license secures with it a certain
status; 1t is not worth her while to
get one unless she means to work
with some regularity, and a higher
standard of cleanliness and comfort is
inevitably followed by a demand for
higher wages in return for work done.
OF the excellent results of the
system in checking the evils of sweat

eyes, and above all of our noses

inspectors would grant no licenses.
In the last few weeks l have visited
homes in England where clothes and
other articles OF common use were
being made which no Inspector with
a sense of smell could have licensed
as being kept in a wholesome condi-
tion. 1t has made me more eager
than ever to have in force IN our
country the same automatic method
of insuring visit from the Inspector
to premises where home work is car
ried on.
"a most excellent feature of the
system, the adoption of which would
greatly improve conditions here, is
that requiring that any worker carry
ing on work in his or her private
dwelling must show to the employer
from whom the work is obtained a
license certifying that the home is
kept in a clean and suitable condition
and is not overcrowded. And if the
work is given out without the pro-
duction of a license the punishment
falls on the employer By introdue-
ing the American license law for
sweaters in England we confidently
anticipate being able to remedy some

History of BOer War
Told to Suit British
ONDON, July 1s.-The first
volume or the Iaqqard "officiap

volume of the laggard official
history of the Boer war has just
been issued. 1t might be more cor
rectly described as the history of the
Boer war written to suit officials D
1t has been FIVE years in preparation.
The late Colonel Henderson, whose
book on "Stoncwall'' Jackson revealed
him as military historian of the first
class, was first intrusted with the
editorship of it and soon had the first
volume in hand 1t was brilliantly
done, but it hadn't been written to
suit the old fogies of the War Office
and when the proofs fell into their
hands they insisted that it should be
revised in accordance with their no
tions of how official history should be
written.
Colonel Henderson in effect told
them that he would see them else
where before he would change a line
in it to please them or submit to
having it emascula,ed by their blue
pencils. Probably he would have had
his way in the long run, for he was
man with backbone, but unfortu-
nately he died before the matter was
settled.
Major General Sir Frederick Maur-
ice was then given charge of the
work, presumably on satisfactory
assurances being received that he
would prove a more plant editor
Anyhow, the War Office blue pencil
wielders have since had their own
way with it, much to the disgust OF
some of the most brilliant officers
who have contributed chapters to the
work.
The history will run to four
volumes If any publisher could get
hold of the first volume compiled by
Colonel Henderson, which the War
Office suppressed, there would be d
big sale for it. But in the official
history the general public will take
little interest.
