DETROIT GIRL IS LAYING UP
WEALTH THROUGH HAZARD
Gus PROFESSION.
MISS BAKERS FIRST DESCENT
Recovered Diamond Ring from Wreck
ed Steamer and Was Later Pre-
sented with II as Reward
Undaunted by Pain

Detroit.-Detroit's girl diver, Miss
Frances Baker, is regarded as a
protege by all the sailors of
the great lakes. She Is q years
of age, and has laid up comfortable
bank account by following her hazard.
Gus calling. Her first professional
work was when she raised $4,000
worth of copper from the ship of w.
II, Stevens, which sank in 50 feet OF
water in Lake Erie several years
ago.
Miss Bakers father, Capt. w II.
Baker, was captain Of divers, and
from the first time she was allowed
to go down to the river alone, she
used to watch her fathers wrecking
ship leave the dock and long to go
with him. The ambition to become a
diver matured in her as she grew
older, and she deplored the fate which
had condemned her to be a girl.
At last her desire to become a
diver overcame the objections Of her
friends and she began making wreck
ing trips with her father and soon
became his inseparable companion,
She made a study of every part of
the machinery connected in any way
with diving, and in time learned TO
command the wrecking boat with
great skill and assurance.
Her first descent was in Lake HUI
ron, where a big wooden barge had
gone down and before the wrecking
steamer had reached the spot where
the barge had sunk, the owner spoke
to Miss Baker, regretting the loss Of
diamond ring which was in the
cabin
In describing the sensations of the
initial trip she said that the feel
ing at the outset was as if some
great creature with a thousand arms
was pressing her gently but firmly
on all sides, and as if in a few min
utes her breath would be cut off en-
tirely, but she was far from fright
oned and continued her descent until
the shadow of the sunken barge loom
ed up before her, She had a strange
feeling OF buoyancy, and the 20
pounds of lead attached to her feet
seemed no heavier than leather soles
as she followed her companion to
the walls of the sunken ship and with
his aid climbed over them.
At this point she experienced Sc
we're pains in her head and felt as II
her nose were going to bleed, but, still

In our reckless haste TO make money
we forget that in SO doing the I'M
natural wear and tear of industry, and
the fierce struggle for existence are
producing an increasing host OF de-
pendent citizens, who have been worn
out as a part of machine and are
then thrown on the industrial scrap
heap.
The hours of labor are being slight
ly reduced and wages slightly in
creased but the wear and tear on
man and machine has been nearly
doubled
Many men, each one unit of labor,
valuable to the employer and to so
ciety, drop out crippled by accident or
with their health undermined. Unless
the employees are speedily able to re-
adjust themselves in gainful occupa-
tons, they become public charges.
Each man added to the list of the
states dependents makes an added
burden of taxes on the wealth produc-
ing citizens.
The employer, who is the exponent
of the industrial system is account
able for this waste of productive pow
err though not the originator of il, is
himself one of the first victims to feel
the extra burden of taxation. Doubt
less he is also appealed to, and sub
scrbes literally for private charitable
schemes, which are themselves large
~ necessary evils. Hence the waste

waste of labor is lost sight of in the
mad attempt to save cost OF produc.

she could live unGer the water, and
TO be able to do this means that a
person is worth anywhere from $50
to 5000 a day to a wrecking company.
As 80 out of every 100 men who de.
scend into the waters of the lakes
will in a few minutes begin to suffer
from bleeding at the nose, head-split-
ting pains and suffocation, that is
why all good divers from one end OF
the great lakes to the other may be
counted on ones fingers and toes.
Miss Baker now began following
up her adventure with practical work,
and she early discovered the fact that
she was fitted for captain of divers
instead of a diver alone, as the loca-
ton of the lost copper ship which
has been searched for for years has

Where is the remedy? If the pres

ished it may be controlled. If the

proceed with less friction and waste.
Legislation on this point is becoming
more stringent, and employers them
selves are aiding in the effort to avoid
needless loss OF life and limb.
This problem can be solved only by
sorting out the injured and rcadjust-
jng them to other forms OF labor As
employers more fully appreciate the
great financial loss OF life and limb,
as they now so carefully guard the

ously convert hy-products into profit,
