Vile and a friend, Miss Cochran,
obtained work as ordinary mill hands
in order to make a thorough study
of conditions in the mills.
"The evils of prolonged hours OF
labor for growing girls are intensi'
fed when this labor is performed at
night. Night work after a given hour
is prohibited by law for all women
in certain industries in a few states
Massachusetts, for instance, requires
that no woman shall work in textile
factory after 6 p m. Other states
protect all girls up to a certain age
from any night employment as in
Ohio, where no girl under IS years
of age is allowed to work after pm
Many states have no restrictive leg.
islation on this subject. Pennsylva
mia, four years ago, forbade all child
rem under sixteen, with the eXcep-
ton of boys in certain kinds of oc
equations, to work for wages after
9 p m, and the Legislature of 1909
has included all girls below eighteen
years in this protected class. But
this law, which sounds so well on
paper has up to the present proved
but a lame one on account of the
loose requirements of the age certi,
flcates; how lame Miss Cochran and
l saw most clearly on the evening
when we first applied for work on
the night shift.
"As we went into the factory our
passage was blocked by return
stream of girls, and the announce,
ment that .the boiler was burst and
there was no work that night In
the outpouring throng, jubilant at
their release, were so many short
skirts that it might well have been

Here is Miss Sanville's account Of
lunchtime:
81 have implied that the eating Of
the midday meal is very haphazard
operation. Only in the rarest case is
separate lunchroom provided in
a study of thirty-two factories in a
single industry we found just two
that did so. the dinner hour IS
almost universally a half hour so
that only the few girls who live prac.
tically at the factory door are enab
led to go home. Those who are
left have at their disposal within the
mill a seat on the oily floor, or on
a bobbin tray, in room which often
reeks of i'll smelling raw material
In the summer time it is possible to
go out of doors and where the loca-
ton of the factory makes it practic
able this is the general rule. But
sometimes this wholesome alterna-
tive is not offered.
Il recall one factory, situated on
a bed of fine coal dust, between two
railroad tracks. The sole choice lay
between a seat on the coal heap in
the blaze of the sun or on the oily
floor of the mill, in an atmosphere
where the noise of the machinery
gave no possibility of rest Some of
my most vivid and painful recollec-
tions of the noon hour call up pic
lures of weary figures crouched on
a heap of spools, their heads sunk
between their hands, as if to shut out
the clatter of the machinery-on ac-
count of the short lunch period, some
factories keep their machinery in
motion instead Of shutting it down
their shoeless feet on floor strewn
with the remains of their own and
other luncheons."

A Wandering Lake.

Lake Nor, in the TabI desert, In
southwestern Asia, which has been
called the wandering lake" presents
q phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven
Hedin has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phenome-
non.
1t appears, according to that eKplor-
er, that the Tarim river. entering the
lake from the west. brings down dur
ing the period Of high water late in
summer a great quantity Of salt,
which has the effect Of driving the lake
lying on the level floor Of the desert
toward the southeast. But the sum-
mer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast,
and II, too tends TO drive the lake be-
fore 1t. The combined effect Of the
urging by the wind and the river is
to force the lake southwad. Yet it
is thought the migration Of the lake
is not constant in direction, but 1t
shifts back and forth intermittently,
according as the circumstances change

She RepudIated the Charge.

At the mems service In a Yorkshire
parish the vicar tried to convey the
lesson that the truest heroes and hero
ines are those who do noble deeds in
the secret corner Of the home, where
none can see or applaud.

ton to duty proves them to be So"
1t certainly hadn't struck one old
farmer in this way before, and as soon
as he got home he promptly told his
wife that the vicar had called her a
heroine.
Whatever does that mean" asked
the good lady.
"Oh, 1t means a woman who stays In
T. house instead Of goin' art to show
hersen," explained the farmer vaguely.
"Then I'm not a heroine, an I'll

Beethoven. "MOonlioht Sonata"


The story runs that Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata"-always so called,
though he so rarely gave a descriptive
name to any Of his works-was com
posed on an occasion when he had
been playing to some stranger folk
by chance. Walking with a friend, he
overheard In a humble house some
one playing with much feeling a bit
of one Of his sonatas. He paused 10
listen. In a mament the music ceased,
and a girl spoke longingly of her wish
to hear some really good concert The
voice was 30 appealing that the COM
poser stepped without hesitation to
the door and knocked. Admitted to
the wondering host, no said, Il will
play for you" and played wonder
fully till the lamp burned out. Then
with the moonlight filling the room he
began to improvise-the mysterious
delicate breathings Of the beginning
of that wonderful sonata, then the
tricksy elf-like second part, and the
glory of the close.-Christian Science
