A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE
AS CHICAGO SALESGIRL
In place of the usual comment

Day Book presents a true story
by a married woman, who tells of
her own experience while work

Following is the story:
By a Married Woman.
When I read articles in The
Day Book. of existing conditions
in Chicago department. stores my
blood boils, and it recalls the
many temptations ] encountered
while earning a living in my girl
hood days.
'You cannot realize how true
the evil conditions are until you
have been up against them YOUR
self. 7 was employed in one of
the downtown department stores
before married and met with
many temptations.
There are many ways in which
the keepers of low resorts try to
win over the friendship of pure,
innocent working girls.

pened to me some years ago. },

fairly well, made Tita point to take
the same car Fdid every morning.
She got off the same place I did
and followed me to my place, of

Delaware Sends Remains of Old Texas
to Davy Jones.
The guns on the Dreadnought Della
ware completely destroyed the old
battleship San Marcos, formerly the
Texas, visible above the surface Of
Chesapeake bay, at Tangier sound
where she was sunk last spring by
the guns of the New Hampshire
The big Dreadnought, steaming at
full speed, opened fire on the helpless
ship time after time, while at from
five to seven miles the eyes of $4,000
officers and men on sixteen battleships
and cruisers watched the work.
1t was soon over. The shooting all
together did not take more than an
hour.
The test, naval officers say, was to
ascertain the hitting power Of the Del
aware. It was the first time her guns
had been used. and much depended or
the result
The tests also showed at what range
ships of the Delaware class can eff
fectively enter into battle.

WHALES RACE STEAMER.

Follow Ship Seventy five Miles.


Follow Ship Seventy five Miles.
A seventy-ive mile race upon the
high seas with two big whales, each
measuring more than $50 feet, is re-
ported as furnishing excitement to the
173 passengers of the steamer Boston
which arrived recently at Boston from
Nova Scotia.
1t was not until after the exciting
race had lasted for eight hours, the
story goes, that the two whales gave
up the race. 1t was then after mid.
night, and scarcely passenger was
able to go to sleep. The Boston had
hardly left Digby, n. S., when she ell.
countered the whales.
Some popcorn was thrown from the
steamer by children, and the two
whales eagerly made for it. Evidently
expecting more, they clung to the ship
Sometimes they drew alongside, hard
ly an oars length from the ship, or
