COOPERATIVE FARM

Buildings of Cement.

Two hundred clerks of the government
departments here have needed the cry
Of back to the farm and are preparing
to lead the simple life of "beans. bacon
and blisters'' for a part of the year. at
least.
They have acquired 80 acres of land
on the Bluemont division Of the Southern
railroad. about three miles south of Fair
fax Court House, and propose to estab-
lish there more or less cooperative
colony.
1t is to be a cement colony, too. The
houses planned are all to be of cement.
There is to be an inn and general con-
gregating headquarters, built OF cement.
where the members Of the colony can get
their meals and some OF them can stop
over night if they wish while their indi-
viduai houses are being prepared.
The plan is to farm and raise things.
There are no holdings contemplated Of
more than five or six acres. Each man
will work this to suit himself raising
chickens. alfalfa or any other form of
disturbance he chooses.
The houses are to be adapted to living
in the year round. The chances are,
however. that most of the colonists will
use them simply for summer homes.
Each man can work his own ground if
he wants to. There will be a superin-
tendent on the place. nevertheless. who
can hire the work done if the proprietor
Is laid up through WEAKNESS. stiffness
and too much previous exertion.
The colony is not confined to any one
department. There have been subscribers
from all the federal departments. AS it
is to be primarily an agricultural colony,
the residents expect to draw heavily on
the Department of Agriculture for the
latest wrinkles in up-to-date farming.
Following out the plan Of cooperation,
the families of the colony expect to buy
provisions in quantities and thus save
on the price Of commodities, transporta-
| ton and the extortion of the small coun-
try stores.

Europe, because the farms are SO narrow
and the revenues from them are so small.
The number Of occupations open to
women in England is much larger than
a few years ago. although they are not
employed in so many heavy lines or
manual labor as on the continent.
Women are expected to do the same
work and the same amount OF work
done by men, but their wages are never
so large. The wages vary from one-half
to three-fourths Of those that are paid
This discrimination is due in q large
degree to the labor unions. which do not
protect women outside OF the factories
and shops. But sooner or later all wage
earners. regardless of sex, will have the
same means of enforcing their rights as
to hours. wages and other conditions of
employment. In certain parts of Ger
many woman labor has been organized
but such exceptions are chiefly due to
special reasons. Labor unions of women
are not common.

SAME ALL OVER EUROPE
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS

By WILLIAM E. CURTIS
Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
! read in an American paper the other
day that the Federation of Women's
Clubs in Iowa had inaugurated a move
ment to improve the highways of that
state. l hope they will not adopt the
methods that may be seen on every
road in Germany. ria-Hungary and
the surrounding states.
The use Of the motor car has enabled
Americans to get a closer view of the
habits and customs of the European peo-
pies. particularly the peasant class. Those
who run along the common highways can
see the cottages Of working people, the
farmhouses and the laborers in the fields
at closer range than while travelling on
railway trains, and some strange and
| often shocking sights are witnessed.
The women Of Iowa are going to en-
courage or compel the officials of the
different townships and counties to build
solid roadways and abolish the mud
nuisance. They are going to try to have
| trees planted along all the roads on both
sides.
They are going to redeem waste places
and marshes by planting box elder and
other plants, which grow rapidly in
swampy soil. They are going to trim
the trees that are now standing and
doctor those that are diseased. Another
reform will be the removal of the sign
boards that disfigure the landscape and
substitute attractive signboards.
This is a great movement. Everybody
will wish it success. When the women
Of Iowa get started in a movement of
that kind il must be successful, and the
good will not be limited to their own
territory, for they will furnish an ex-
ample for other states.
German Women Build Roads.
In Europe the peasant women go still
further and actually make the roads.
American tourists and others who travel
in automobiles will tell you that they
have seen women breaking stone, shovel
ing gravel and earth and engaged in
employment on the highways, which in
many places is assigned to convicts, and
Is about the most laboriOus of any occu-
patton in which the strongest men en-
gage.
The women show the same muscular
strength and endurance as the men and
work side by side with them. But they
do not receive the same wages. Where
a man employed to make or repair
highway in Europe will get 40 or 60
cents a day. a woman doing the same
kind Of work at the same spot will get
- or 30 cents.
She does not grumble about it. She
is glad to get the job. She needs the
wages. Her principal anxiety Is lest she
may break down under the strain that
is put upon her strength.
