HUGHES TO FIGHT
FOR HIS MEASURES
Issues Clearly Defined Be-
tween Governor and Po-
litical Machine.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Not a whit
discruntled because the Republican ma
jority In control in the State Legisla-
ture, aided by the Democratic minority,
ran the steam roller over all of his
pet projects last night, while he was
making a speech advocating reform in
Brooklyn. Gov. Charles Z. Hughes re-
turned home TO Albany today, declaring
that the people are yet 10 be heard
from"
While the governor is saying nothing
for publication, there is no question but
that he is glad the issues between him
self and the machine have been ac-
centuated so that no one can mistake
them. Had the Legislature accepted a
few OF his suggested reforms and nulli-
fed others. he might be in such posi-
ton that he would have to compromise
but now that the lines are clearly
drawn, his friends assert he is in fine
shape to break up the strong Repubii-
can machine, and shatter the remnants
OF the demoralized Democratic organi-
zation at next falls election of assem-
/ blymen.
The senators are likely to give the
people what they desire rather than to
risk defeat when they themselves are
| candidates in the fall Of 1910.
According TO the friends Of the gov
ernOr with whom he has talked, he will
make an energetic campaign for his de-
feated reforms this summer and viii

In addition, his friends viii organize

laughed as he stopped over and picked it
up. The little thing lay mewing in his

the kitten. Isn't it a dear little thing?

which was now clinging fast to Horace s
sleeve, L was nearer him than I had
been for days. Just the touch of his

my pulses throb. I felt the warm color

draw back, lest 1 yield to the wild long

turned again Horace was putting the
kitten carefully on the floor. Persia
hovered over 1t for a moment, licking
its little face so ardently that itIumbled
over. then she picked it up and carried
it away.
It was only a trivial incident, but II
seemed to have brought us a little near

One million women simply
detest washing dishes because they
have not yet found the right way

If you were compelled to do your house
work in the way your mother did before you,
it would be almost unbearable.
And still many women cling to the ancient
soap route when washing dishes.
GOLD DUST added to your dish-water
will make your dishes whittier aud cleaner
than they ever can be made without it. That's
the better way.
GOLD DUST, unlike soap, cleans more
than the surface. 1t goes deeper after germs
and hidden food particles, and sterilizes every
thing it touches. That's & -
the safer way. "a g

WOMEN AS MACHINlSTS.
Employed in Manufacturing Establish
 ment-They Like the Work.

From the Chicago Tribune
 Some of the biggest plants in the city employ women machinists. At first they were kept at lighter work. But now they are being initiated even into the functions that had taxed the powers of men. You may see them drilling holes in plates and cutting bars of iron where the sparks fall in showers of fire all around them.
 They stand at the machines with col lars turned down and sleeves rolled up like their hardened brothers. During the day their hands are literally saturated with machine oil and covered with iron filings, but after work you can hardly tell them from the stenographer or filing clerk of the office. Ample use of soap and towels effects transformation not known to the members of the other sex.
 The work as yet does not seem to ap- peal to the American girl. however. Near ly all the women in the machine shops are foreigners. The American girls. the foremen explain, fear the oil and soot of the machine. Another deterrent is the wages The scale is so low the few American girls in the trade state that the native born women do not care to ac- cept it.
 An investigation in one factory dis closed that girls receive from ss to $40 q week Piece workers average from s125 to s1 50 a day. Three dollars a week is paid to beginners. As soon as they have become proficient In the work and after they have worked at tic maximum week wage for a time they are placed on piece work
 One of the harvesting implement manu- on electrical EhOn Of great size and a manufacturing establishment of hardware specaltes are three of the big gest employers of women machinists In the city. They employ the bulk of the 5000 women who lead their sex into new industry Many of the machine shop girls are in their teens. but large num- her of them are those who have tried married life and found it failure.
 The women learn the trade readily. the superintendents who employ them de- clare-easier than men or boys. The senior sisters in the trade now act as teachers for tho beginners. The foremen find it better to have women help women. In many instances the experenced wo- men have charge of departments.
 ''Thev like the work said a foreman of a depa rtment of go girls in q factory on the South Side making hardware spe- cialties. You can't drive thea away with stick after they get in here and they break their necks to get a job with us They are a bit nervous when they start out as q rule. but they become broke in ouiclx-quicker than men. They don't loaf any, but put their minds to the work That's why they learn the trade so quickly.
 Do any of them get hurt? We'll noth- ing serious Some of them get finger smashed once in a while, hut nothing had There are more accidents among boys Once they catch on they ain't tripped so easy. After they are broken in there is hardly any danger of acci- dents amons them,
 ''Of course we keep them at the lighter work as far as we can. Some of them work at the punching machines, but most of them are on the saws, the bend Ing machines and things of that sort. We
