VISITED KNITTING MILLS
Mrs. o. c. Ashton informally Inspects
Bennington Industries.

Rutland, Jan. 12.-Mrs. o. c. Ashton
returned Saturday evening from Ben
nington. where she was the guest of
Mrs. Warren h. Putnam. Mrs. Put
nam Is chairman of the Industrial and
Consumers league committee of the
Vermont 20 Federation of Woman's
clubs.
Friday was spent by Mrs. Putnam
and Mrs. Ashton in visiting some of
the great textile manufactures
where large numbers of women and
girls are employed, Bennington be
ing the center of the most extensive
industry of this kind in the state
The visitors were shown through ev-
cry department, beginning at the
wooden mills in the room where the
sacks of wool, just as shorn from
the sheep are received and on fol-
lowing the process through cleaning
picking, spinning, weaving to the
finished product The whole tour was
exceedingly interesting. In speak
ing of her trip yesterday Mrs. Ash
ton said
THE knitting mills are of equal
interest and more fascinating because
OF the greater intricacy of the ma
chinery which is modern and up to
date. Many of these machines are
patented and because of this and the
company's exclusive right to certain
style and make of the garments the
privilege of going through the mills is
not granted to every one. The court
esy shown us as representatives of
the state federation was duly appre-
ciated. We were especially pleased TO
note that the light, air, cleanliness
and sanitary conditions were general
| ly excellent.
Friday evening a pleasant informal
reception was held at Mrs. Putnam's
home.
Saturday afternoon was spent at
the regular meeting of the Formightly
club, which, by the way, is one OF
the largest III the state. The program

gram was given over to considera
ton of the life and rights of chill
dren. RAY grounds, children's
theaters, etc, were ably handled.
Mrs. Putnam who is a thorough
student of economic and sociological
questions, urged the women to know
under what conditions the garments
they buy for their own and children's
wear are made and incidentally
brought out the fact that there is M
law in Vermont limiting the hours
in which a woman may be employed.

A Disappointed Maiden

A woman who has rejected I'VE suitors
has written an essay upon Some Faults
Of American Men" Needless TO say, no
man would have the courage. even II he
possessed either the Imagination or the
facts. 20 discuss a theme so rude as
Some Faults Of American Women" But
she at least has as material a negative
basis, even If she consistently declined
matrimony. It appears that all those
who wOoed in vain this maid severe
were men Of collegiate education and
professional training. What requirement
did they lack7 Their fault, II appears,
was that they did not sympathlze with
the interest Of this fair one in music,
art literature. and social life. They were
all conventonally moral. but also exas-
peratingly dull They had not the SAVIOR
falre Of the European gallant They did
not discover little corners where TO take
tea; they did not plan moonlight rides or
play the piano. Their love-1naking was
too direct and practical. devoid Of
romance; and so this strict Portia judged
them adversely.
1t is to be noted that this severe critic
is herself a college graduate Perhaps
she has had more leisure since she
emerged from classic shades to retain
their charm and to cultivate the graces
OF scholarship than have the men, forced
to confront the concrete problems Of the
work-a-day world But a more plausible
conjecture is that precisely the right suitor
has not put in his appearance. There
are men who cOntrive 70 fight the battle
Of life and yet to retain the aptitude &c

garbage cans would not be so bad II they
were emptied once week, but II one
visits an alley in August when the cans
have not been emptied since July, he
realizes that here is a sanitary problem
Of some importance"
Had the Cornell professor taken time to
investigate. he would have found that
Chicago alley conditions are no better nor
worse than in any other large city.
Garbage collections In Chicago are made
daily. and the alley gets its share Of
attention The death rate OF Chicago
goes far to disprove this criticism OF the
city.
As a fitting climax to the horrible con-
ditions which only a college professor or
philanthropist. seeking for text for a
undertaking lecture. can find. the in
structor Of youth and the guiding spirit
IN uplift work and reform concludes in
the following words. again quoting him
from the press dispatch:
dodgers sleep in relays. and the bed
clothes never get cold. The day workers
sleep during the night. and when they 90
to work IN the morning. the night work
ers take their places"
Had the professor OF philanthropy said
that such conditions could be found
among the very poor Of any city. he
would have been truthful. for so others
tell US. This lecturer however. makes
a sweeping statement that this is GUS
tomary habit in Chicago.
It IS such use OF language that makes
the college professor the discredited man
that he in many cases is. The good
work OF 100 Misunderstanding gentlemen
can be updone by one or two men who
talk on topics with which they are not
familiar. or use such exaggerated Ian
guage as to .invalidate anything else they
can say.

Getting at the Facts

Professors at the University OF Chicago
have never been noted for their conserva-
tism, and as a result. the reputation Of
that great institution has suffered in the
eyes Of the educational world. But not
even in their most irrational statements
have these professors gone further astray

philanthropy at Cornell, Tuesday. when he
told the students that Chicago was a city
