First School improvements
The Lamar school is the first Of the

has been done and the soil and trees
are now being placed in preparation
for the sodding with Bermuda grass

extends around the school grounds and
is 16 feet wide, except at the corners,

A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.

IL is an old saying that in this
country one campaign is scarcely fin
ished till another is begun. 1t is ten
months till the November election
but already not only are forecasts be-
ing made but preparations also, for,
while it does not always hold true, it
generally does. that the party which
wins in the congressional election
preceding presidential election
wins that presidential election also.
Consequently. while the Republicans
will hold the White House and Sem
ate until March, 4, 1913, much inter-
est attaches to the complexion of the
House of Representatives in the Six
ty-second Congress not only because
of the political power which goes with
1t but as forerunner of things to
happen in 1912.
To state the case modestly the
signs are that the Democrats will
elect the next House unless a foreign
war should unfortunately intervene
Revising the tariff Is always a tick
lish performance for the party in
power, ending under normal condi-
tions, in the defeat of that party. Re-
publicans revised the tariff in 1874
and lost in 1874. They again revised
it in 1890 and lost. Democrats re-
vised 1t in 1894 and lost. Republi-
cans revised 1t in 1897 and won
but they won only by the skin of their
teeth and by reason of the Spanish
war. When the House elected in
1898 convened, it had only thirteen
Republican majority which was
promptly increased by the simple but
effective plan of throwing out Demo-

No man in full possession of his

PLANNING BIG BATTLESHIP
[special to The sentinel. |

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Building a
worlds record breaking battleship of
$4,000 tons displacement, at a cost
of s1S,O00,000, and making the
United States the leading naval pow
er, are planned by Secretary Meyer,
he is said to have told the house naval
committee Saturday.
The members of the committee
stated the secretary's radical plans
were favorably received.
The proposed giant battleship
waits until next year only because the
naval experiments with 14-inch guns
have not been completed and the de-
partment desires to know the result
of full experiments. Tentatively, 1t is
planned to arm this great battleship
with battery of IA 14-inch guns of
the latest type.
1t was tentatively agreed Saturday
that the naval increase this year,
based on the secretary's recommenda-
tions, shall be as follows:
Two 27,000-ton battleships. equip
ped with either 2 or l4-inch guns.
One repair ship
Two colliers.
Five submarines.

THE HELLO GIRL" MUST
Be FIVE FEET HIGH H---AVERAGE
SALARY OF GIRL IS TOO LOW

Less than five feet high? All
right, you can't be a telephone girl
Such is the rule of the big tele-
phone companies, according to a re-
port complied for the United States
senate by the labor bureau and made
public today.
The girls must be high enough to
reach TO the top OF the switchboards,
and reasonable distance sideways.
This being the case 1t is easy to see
how much chance the short girl mas
of learning the hello" game.
The bulk of the report deals with
the women employes-there are H.
2l0 of them working at the switch
boards for 27 companies in 26 states
which furnished the data. Agents
of the bureau visited 73 exchanges
and found them. generally speaking,
well housed. In many cases the girls
were compelled to walk up from one
to four flights of stairs. and more
than two-thirds of the complaints
heard were because of the lack of
elevators.
Wages for telephone girls. accord
ing to the report, vary from high
est monthly average of $36.96 In
New York City to s22.40 in Nash
vile. Tenn. In some of the smaller
cities, the average goes even lower.
particularly in the South. The Bell
company employs 1926 women op-
orators at an average monthly wage
of s30.9l.
Efficient service is possible up to
225 calls an hour for each girl. She
cannot answer more than that with
out injury to herself or injuring the
service. The bureau has reached the
conclusion that the operator who has
not enough to do to keep her con-
stantly busy, however, does not prop
erly attend to what she has.
Commissioner Neill strongly urges
the practical elimination of overtime
for operators and says this can be
brought about If the larger cities will
set the example. New York City has
lone SO. but in Chicago the Bell op-
orators have about 28 per cent of
overtime and in New Orleans as high
as 80 per cent.
A widespread and intelligent effort
on the part of the companies to look
after the comfort and well-being of
its women employees was found. On
the other hand, the investigators dis
covered that the women were loyal
to the companies and enthusiastic for
their work, all of which is declared
to add much to the efficiency of serv-
ice to the public.
