El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-10-01

A sight Of the factory does not en-
able us fully to understand the life
of working women. We must know the
homes and lodging places: we must
know to what extent social life is made
possible by the factory management,
and in what way outside agencies sup
ply the social privileges that home con-
ditions deny.
The tendency is strong for neighbor-
hood women TO go into the factories
whose smoke stacks have stared them
in the face since babyhood and in adj
dition TO economic by saving carfare
TO and from work. The nearby factory
sometimes means a saving in clothing,
too. as in the case of the two young
girls who went to the neighboring fac
tory because then they didn't have to
wear hats as they would if they rode
in the car"
Not Matter of Choice.
The neighborhood to which the
working girl goes is less a matter of
choice than an accident of birth or
convenience. She is born into family
group that has drifted through race
affiliations. for cheap rent, or for con-
venient nearness to the mills to one or
another section Of the city.

II
not a Pigment of the imagination, this
girl On the lowest estimate there
are 1O5 percent of the total working
women in this class. Poverty sends
the seeker for room and board into dis
tricts of grade as low, and sometimes
lower, than the usual slum. She will
hardly find a room to rent in the
thickly settled parts of the city for
less than SO a month. 1t gave me
fresh appreciation of the problem faced
by homeless girls to hear a CONVERSE

The Girl at Home.
To the girl at home. the stimulus OF
her surroundings is slight and even
ings pass with an unbroken sameness.
The homes cannot of themselves sup
ply recreation. They are limited by
mere lack Of space. There is no OPP
portunity for social intercourse, for
conversation, except in connection with
the family group that includes old and
young. One is impressed by the lack
of heart to make use Of leisure, and
the absence Of more than sporadic eff
forts to enjoy free hours. I'VE just
stay at home one girl said. I'VE
haven't anything else to do" For those
who have both the vitality and the
desire for pleasure. there are few OPP
portunities for recreation except roller
skating Kinks, picture shows and dance
halls.
In recognition of this need of work
ing women. outside agencies have been
developed to supplement the imperfect

for stimulation, we may well reckon

amusements take a toll from the peo-
pies income, disproportionate to the

the working girl. diversion IS essen

Spending, Not Using Leisure.
1 shall not soon forget a Saturday
evening when stood and watched men
and women packed thick at the en-
trance of every picture show. The
crowd of waiting people filed the long
vestibule and even part of the side
walk They were determined to be
amused, and this was one of the things
labeled amusement" They were hot
and tired and irritable, but willing to
wait for their chance to get in Is
not this eagerness as well worth con
serving as any river fall that makes
electricity or drives a mill? In largo
measure today. working women are
spending their leisure, not using IT.
The beginning whereby they may use
it is already made. How rapidly this
trend shall increase, depends in part
on the choice Of the working women
and the character of their Industrial
life, and in part on the social foresight

GLAD HAND AWAITS
RETURNING VICTORS
Ell Pasoans Are Expected to
Reach Home Monday
From Pueblo.

The men who went to Pueblo, met
the foe and conquered, are coming back
to receive the just praise Of those who
are most deeply interested in the Ele-
plant Butte project.
NobIy they fought, and we'll. Victory
crowned their arms and all ET Paso will
turn out to welcome them back to this
city.
With Zach Cobb, the boy orator,
whose voice rang through the halls of
the Pueblo auditorium, as did THAT Of
his great idol. VIM. Jennings Bryan, is
coming, and he will not get a scolding
for making a speech even if he\did re-
fer to politics. Judge Goggin is COM
ing too back to the Ell Paso he defend
ed so well upon the floor of the con-
vention, and Richard Burgess and Felix
Martinez, who as members of the most
important committees. guarded the in
terests of the Rio Grande valleys are
coming back, happy, cheerful content
with the victory they won for Ell Paso
and the great southwest.
There are many others in the party,
men who worked with might and main
to sway the tide of battle by personal
W rk among the delegates. and though
they did not shine ar orators, their
talks were of q most convincing ma
ture.
At o'clock Friday the special train
which took the men to the convention
footed a farewell to the Colorado city
where they met the enemy on their
home battle grounds and defeated
them. They are coming home, singing,
happier than when they started for the
fray for there were then grave doubts
of the ability of the delegates from this
section to overcome the great odds
against them.
The train stops at Colorado Springs
on the way back and is expected to
arrive in Ell Paso Monday evening.

opportunitis Of the home for social in
tercourse There are settlements and
semi religious associations How far
their influence goes, it would be diff
cult to estimate. Their impalpable
share in the life and thought of the
community cannot be gagged by roll
books or class records. The classes of
these institutions in millinery, fancy
work, sewing and cooking in most
cases are not for industrial training,
but to overcome the pitifuI inadequacy
of an experience that includes only
factory work and leaves no time for a
girl to learn the trade of housekeeping
before she undertakes it. Dancing and
gymnasium work are also very usual
features of their work as well as the
maintenance of clubs and reading
rooms Glasses in trade training and
manual work have constantly to battle
against WEAKNESS at the end of g.
working day. and they cannot be really
recreative- The purely social clubs
scarcely reach to the great numbers
among whom, except for profit, there
is no social Ieaven working.
Leisure Valuable Byproduct.
There were in Pittsburg in 1907,
22,1S5 working women in factories and
stores, besides many more in occupa-
lions uncounted in this census; yet Of
this number only 25S, less than 2 per-
cent, were in touch with a center for
social : development and recreation,
either in the play or recreating sense.
Even a little leisure is a byproduct of
life too valuable TO waste, and the COM
munity is the loser if the free hour is
spent only in WEAKNESS or some I'M
desirable form of entertainment.
NickelodeOns and dance halls and
skating Kinks are in no sense inner
emily bad, but so long as those main
tanned for profit are the only relief

The Grasshopper Weather Vane Perch
ed Atop Faneui Hall.

Perched ON the cupola of Faneuil
hall is a grasshopper weather vane
which Is not only one of the Oldest
vanes IN the country. but Is famous
as the product of one of Americas
earliest woodcarvers and artisans.
Shem browne of Boston.
Brownies shop was ON Ann street in
the north end
OF the many vanes he made only
three are now known TO be In ex-
istence-the one on the Shepard Me-
mortal church in Cambridge, which
formerly was on the steeple Of the
New Brick church on Hanover street
In this city and known as the revenge
vane; the one In the collection of the
Massachusetts Historical society, a rel
ic of the old Boston province house.
and the one on Faneull hall.
This grasshopper of copper, hammer
ed out by hand. has large CLASSY eyes.
which in the sunlight shine like fire.
Ii was made In l742 at the order Of
Peter Faneuil when the hall. his gift
70 the town, was nearing completion.
Ii has not. however. lived q life Of
unbroken peace. for several times 1t
has been near destruction. In 1855,
when Boston was shaken by an earth
quake. the vane fell to the ground. but
after being supplied with new leg by
the son of the man who made it 1t was
replaced.
Five years later Faneuil hall was
seriously damaged by fire, but the
vane remained intact, and when the
hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was
once more given the place Of honor.
Another disaster befell 1t when In
1889 a dag was being raised TO cele-
brate the anniversary of the evacua-
ton Of the city by the British. The hop
per hoped to the street below. But
In few days 1t hopped right back
again. and there 1t has remained ever
since, with the exception of an occa-

PAINTING THE WORLD.
Indian Legend Of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.

SdHlO INV eN'ehC'SNs
Once. long before there were men In
the world. all the earth was covered
with snow and ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas: white and frozen lay the
plains. The mountains stood tall and
dead. like ghosts In white gowns.
There was no color except white In all
the world except In the sky. and II was
almost black AT night the stars look
ed through II like angry eyes.
Then God sent the Spring down into
,le world the Spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays OF apple
blossoms and the first flowers-crocus.
anemones and violets. red. pink. blue.
purple, violet and yellow.
The 6rst animal to greet the Spring
was the white rabbit The Spring
dropped a red crocus on bis head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes
Then the Spring dropped blue vio-
let on q white bird. the drst bird TO
greet the Spring. and that is the way
the bluebird was made. Ever since
then II Is the first bird to arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven.
80 the Spring went through the
world. Wherever he tossed the leaves
from bis fragrant burden the earth
became green He tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas. and the Ice melted
and the 6sh became painted with all
the tint of his lowers. That Is the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the Spring. SO their submits
remain white and dead, for they would
let the Spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears aed from the
Spring, so they. too. remain white to
this day.
