Servant Problem After FASH

(By Pan-American Press

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 9.-The
ton, among whom are the wives Of
many senators and representatives,
has just issued report covering two
years investigation of the Servant
problem in which it is stated that
ignorance and not laziness among
working girls is the great cause Of
trouble. The alliance has discovered
that many of our maids live i'm
houses in which we would not allow
animals to stay
10 residents in Washington this
last matter is very plain, for nowhere
IN the United States are city's
Sums so vile as in the capitol, and
as the bulk of the servants are ne
groes who Give at home" in disease
spreading alleys, this home environ
menace to their employers.
All discussion of wages is care
fully avoided in the report Of the
alliance, but nevertheless it is we'll
known that many servants are paid
as low as 50 week, while extra
good maids and cooks get something
more.
But the great trouble among these
fashionable housekeepers is that they
cannot compel good servants to stay
with them for the term Of their ma
tural lives. TO find a Jewel at for
from SO to 81 week, and then to
have tile Jewel" leave for some other
mistress is more than the ladies-of-
the-house can stand. To stop these
"runaways' blacklist system is pro-
posed-of course, it Is not called a
blacklist In just SO many words, but
here Is what the president Of the al
lance, Miss Ellen Marshall Rugg, has
to say upon the subject:
THE members of the alliance urge
all housekeepers to pay more atten-
ton to length Of service in getting
at the qualifications of a prospecting
servant. If this is done, servants will
cease leaving positions for trivial rea-
sons, because they will realize that

the growing love of Marcus for the
little London wait, who has stole her
way into the heart of the serious man
of books.
Written in the best style of William
Locks, one of the cleverest of the
modern novelists, the dramitazing Of
! the book has brought to the stage
one of the best written plays that
| has been produced in this country
for a number Of years.
1.-The Morals of Marcus is a mo-
dern play in every sense of the word,
that is called the best full-dress play
on the American stage today. Not
only is the plot subtle and extremely
we'll wrought out, but the characters
are the best that master such as
! Locke has ever created.
TIE many admires of Miss Maude
Leone will be pleased with the state
! ment that the waif is the best piece
, ever done, and this is not forgetting
that Miss Leone has done some great
pieces of character work.
It IS dialect part, something very
unusual for Miss Leone. She is said
to have mastered the peculiar dia-
lect perfectly and to completely bury
her personality in the part of the
homeless, friendless and forsaken
little waif Of the London streets.
To Willard Mack will fall the part
Marcus Ordeyne, one of the best parts
that this actor has had for a long
time. After the many friends of the
! Mack-Leone company have seen the
two gamblers that Mr.. Mack has
given, the one in "Salomy Jane and
the other in. Cameo Kihby." Cameo
Kirby it will be very refreshing
to watch Mr.. Mack in the character
of the man of lettesr, retired from
the sharp contact with the active
life Of men and women, buried in
his books, happy, completely salts
fled until he meets the little waif
becomes interested, his first interest
later turning to love.
In learning of the new productions
of the Mack-Leone company there
are many theater-goers who anxious
ly ask what kind Of a part Mrs
Annie Adams will play. The remark
ably good acting of this very in
terest lady in the productions the
company has made, has won her a
large following and has created a
great deal of interest in her future
work. Mrs. Adams will have the
character of Antoinette, housekeepe1

ed all the dairymen within reach of
the New Orleans market for the pur-
pose of working up sentiment in fa-
vor of the organization of an associa-
ton state wide in its scope, which will
enable the producers to combat the
situation absolutely in regard to the
sale of milk, and to fix the price for
which it will be sold. The farmers
have long complained Of the treatment
they have received at the hands Of
the city buyers in arbitrarily changing
the price Of milk at will, as well as
shipping back large quantities of milk
as sour, from which many Of the
dairymen claim the cream has been
extracted. These are the main reasons
for the organization of the association,
which was formed here.
The association will be known as
the Milk Producers Protective Union,
and over 100 dairymen signed the
rolls as charter members.

Hammond - The session OF the Mix
Dealers Proteetive Union drew q
large att tela.as dee Of dait ityInen this
week. William Laferrier, one OF the
oldest milk dealers of New Orleans,
addressed the union on the situation
in regard to the milk business OF the
city, saying that as long as he had
been in business he had never had a
surplus, and did not get 100 gallons
of sour milk in year. The manner
of selling was brought up, and the
can measurement method was decided
upon as the one to be adopted. Sta
tistics and figures were introduced
by several members. showing that the
cost of producing gallon of milk is
from 16 to 10 cents in the country dis
tricts. The price which it is proposed
to charge the New Orleans dealers
was fully discussed in all its bearings,
and the figures finally decided upon
are 26 cents per gallon for the six
months from September to March l,
and 20 cents for the remaining six
months, from March to September 1.
These prices will go into effect Au-
gust Is and the pay days were fixed
for the 5th and Goth of each month.
