Burden Falls on Women.

A sad picture of the blighted homes
of the immigrant was presented to the
Woman's Forum, No. % West Forty
fourth street, yesterday, by DIR. David
Blaustein. and the darkest side of it
was the fate of the immigrant woman.
Speaking of the immigrant from East
ern Europe DR.. Blaustein said:
''He comes to America as to the
promised land, expecting that every
wrong from which he suffered at home
will be rightec, and he is disappointed
and disillusionized. He looks for DO
ltical freedom. and he finds the boss
supreme. He looks for a free press. and
finds the yellow press. He looks for
free education, and the public schools
make a gulf between him and his chill
dren. The officials of the health. street
cleaning and police departments. who
are trying to enforce laws made for his
protection seem to him the instruments
of oppression. He has been taught 10
respect those in authority, and before
election he hears all manner Of abuse
heaped even on the head of the chief
magistrate. He does nct understand the
noltical game. and he believes every

A Mayor Who Relies on Women.


In his address of welcome TO the
Louisiana State Federation of Women's
clubs, Mayor Behrman of New Orleans
said:
i am not of those who oppose wom-
en- clubs or organza tons | believe in
them-not because they have existed and
nave come to stay, but because believe
they can be, and are of the greatest good
10 every community in which they exist.
:. nave proven the sincerity of my be-
,ief IN the good that can be accomplished

ihihuehce | could bring to bear to aid in
me adoption of the amendment to the
organic law of the state, which lodged
us inhibition against women holding of
nee. The adoption of that amendment
MADE 1t possible for me 20 name n won-
an as factory inspector. The splendid
results of the untiring work of Miss Jean
Gordon IN that position have proven to
this community, and entirely satisfied
me, that no mistake was made in her
selection. 1t is mainly through the CO.
operative work of the lady members of
the tenement house commission that such
good work has been accomplished thus
far by that splendid subordinate branch
OF the city government. created less than
year ago. This is not meant as a re-
Election against the male members of
that body. They themselves admit that
they are encouraged and stimulated to
greater activity by the zeal ardor and in
detatigable work of the patriotic ladies
with whom they are thus associated.
All OF you. no doubt, have read of
the recent creation of the public bath
commission. The confidence of the COM
munity, as well as of the male members
OF the commission. in the success of This
undertaking is based mainly upon the
fact that in the membership there are
four noble, unselfsh and public spirited
women. Here we have, therefore. splen-
did object lessons to prove that the work
OF women in such directions is not a
mere sentimental idea. They tend not
only to the elevation and moral main
tenance of the boards upon which they
have membership. but actually stimulate
their male associates to greater activity
and better work. 1t is for that very
reason that | would like to see our laws
amended further to render women elig-
lble to membership on our school boards.
Il take it that the State Federation
OF Nomen's Clubs is as devoted to state
and civic welfare as to its home success
and Preside happiness.
I'm that opinion / am borne out nv
my recollection that the state health CON
ference held recently at Alexandria
recognized this very federation bv wise
ly assigning to it part of the great work
of the sanitary uplifting of our state. All
the people of this fair city appreciate
your work. We feel highly honored by
your presence and as chief executive of
New Orleans, | wish to assure you of the
great pride l experience in expressing TO
you the word of welcome of most hos
pitable people,"

MADRID, Aug Queen Amelie, OF

King Manuel, Is trying to forget her
troubles at the villa Maurique. the
Summer home of her mother, the
Countess of Paris.
She left her son and his turbulent
kingdom on the advice OF her physi-
clans. who informed her that she
could not stand the strain OF living
In Lisbon any longer and that she was
In imminent danger Of going insane
unless she put herself under her
mothers care and outside the pale
of politics and financial troubles.
The Queens mind Is said to have
been affected by the disclosures show
ing that her late husband illegally
borrowed" from the State treasury
some two. million dollars. which the
royal family Is unable to pay back In
a lump sum as demanded and which
debt the King Manuel has agreed to
discharge gradually out of his salary.
The Queen, who Is somewhat of a
financier herself. figured out that a
large part Of the money obtained by
the late King Carlos was borrowed
for other purposes than those as
signed. namely. royal journeys and
the entertainment OF kings and EN-.
perors In Lisbon and this suspicion
adds TO her mental troubles.
