Prefer Coal Mines to Factories.

Lancashire girls, wearing wooden
clogs. recently went TO the house Of
commons and urged the proposed law
forbidding women to work at the pit
brows be made void. They said they
found it healthier to work at the
mouths of coal mines picking over the
coal than passing their days In close,
dusty factories. The statements OF the
women emphasized an unusual fact
that commonly Ii not recognized. While
many statesmen are seeking to get
proper legislation for women and are
trying to house them, they forget that
outdoor work, involving more physical
labor, may be q good deal healthier for
the girls. The girls who appeared be-
fore the legislators In London were
healthy, red checked and cheerful.
Many of them said they had worked
in factories, but were advised, when
In broken health. to get jobs picking
over the coal &c it came out of the
mines. They said that IL they were for
hidden to work at the pit brows they
must return to the factories they found
unhealthy.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Women Of Federated Clubs interested
In Work of Civil Service Reform
What Some Are Doinu,


Minneapolis Journal: At the Gin
cinnati biennial it was resolved with
enthusiasm to continue the civil sery-
Ice reform department and under its
present historic name The women
of the federation, who work so jealous
ly for better social and economic con-
ditions. are realizing that their efforts
are impeded and often thwarted by in
competent or partisan officials. What
is the USE" they ask, "of, securing leg
islation against adulterated foods or
child labor IL the enforcement of the
laws must be left to inspectors who are
appointed solely for their political ac-
tivities? Why devote time and labor
to improving the conditions in prisons
asylums and almshouses If the first re-
quisite for those who have the manage.
ment Of these institutions is that they
support a certain political party? WHY
have working committees on street
cleaning and smoke prevention If street
commissioners and smoke inspectors
are expected to work harder for their
party than for municipal cleanliness? ?"
The reform of the civil service; the
placing 1t upon an efficient and unpar-
tisan basis, is the very foundation
stone of every reform.
How shall we interest our members
in civil service REFORM" is a question
that comes to this committee from
many clubs. In the very same way
that you interest them in any other live
topic-by holding meetings, by dis
trihuting literature, by taking in sea-
son and out of season.
Mrs. Decker and her COMMITTEES did
splendid work the last two years In
arousing interest throughout the whole
federation. This interest must not be
allowed to slacken. suggest that the
state civil service reform committee in
states that have no civil service law
and only New York. Massachusetts,,
Wisconsin and New Jersey have such
laws-ask the cooperation Of leading
men Of the state, in getting before the
legislature a bill providing for COM
petitive examinations in all appointive
state offices. The civil service reform
committee In the various towns and
city clubs, can help the state commit
tee by sending official and personal pe-
titions to the members OF the legisla-
ture in favor of such a bill. They can
also study the condition of the civil
service in their own communities and
demonstrate the need OF trained and
bipartisan officials in every depart
ment OF the government. They can
hold meetings to explain and popular
ize the principles of the merit system
The committee published last year
for study of the subject series OF pro-
grammes which have )e
and are still In active demand. They

Picture Hats Replacing ParasoIs.
There have been fewer sunshades in
the daytime in Long Beach and Allan
tic City this summer than ever before
Men may not have observed it, but
women have commented on the change.
The reason Is, with the development Of
the picture hat there has been no nee
essity for a sunshade. The broad brirns
OF the hats have kept the sun from the
women's faces and they have found
it needless to carry parasols. In the
brightest days women were content to
walk along. the beach wearing their big
hats and leaving thir parasols at
home. The unusual thing, however, is
that more parasols have been sold by
dealers this year than ever before. The
vogue of the women in not carrying
them In the afternoon has not hindered
their sale. The reason is the women
who have discarded the parasols in the
daytime carry them in the evening
parade along the boardwalk.

SOME WISE SAYINGS.

Every man seems to think that he
is warranted in doing unwarranted
things.
Labor is the foundation of many a
fortune-but not necessarily Of the la
borers.
It is difficult to convince the head
of the house that two heads are better
than one.
And lots Of people who think they
have nothing but trouble don't know
what trouble really is.
Anyway, the average woman knows
as much about things political as the
average man does about caring for a
baby.

One of the interesting things in con-

makers for the exhibits, was obliged
