and they all wore the pretty pennant

The visit to police headquarters was
occasioned by the loss of a pocket
book by one of the girls. It occurred
at the depot, and whether it was ac-
cidentally dropped or skillfully picked
from her belt is not known. Anyway
the girls headed toward the bluecoat's
warming station to tell their story
Upon arriving at the corner of Fifth

officer Wilson and piloted TO their des-

The girls had short consultation

The Servant Problem.

A representative Of the Department of
Commerce and Labor recently read a pa
per before the American Home Econom-
les Association in st. Louis in which he
discussed the servant problem. criticising
the technical organization OF American
homes the faults Of which he said were
due to the lack Of training on the part
Of servants. Proposing the organization
Of servant girls as q means of solving
the problem. he suggested that the main
fault in the present system Of domestic
management lies in the rigid social dis
ordinations from which servants suffer
The future servant girls union, he aver
red. would demand and obtain a proper
scale Of wages, definite hours Of labor.
Sunday rest. reform In conditions OF
kitchens and sleeping rooms and better
food.
To Judge from the confessions and COM
plants of housewives. the fault lies not In
the social determinations. but In the
utter lack of competence on the part OF
the average domestic worker 1t Is a
question whether improvement in the
condition of the servants would materi-
Evening star., 1911-01-08

ally improve their efficiency. If q union
of domestic workers could guarantee
good service in the kitchens and other
parts of the house better conditions would
gladly be granted in the great majority
Of American homes. The solution of the
problem really awaits the enterprise OF
the women and girls and men themselves
upon whom American families depend Tor
the performance of the various tasks oi
household management.
Here in Washington servant eniciency
is not high. There is no large body OF
trained domestic help. The average
wages paid are probably commensurate
with the services rendered. In most
homes in this city the servants live OUT
and therefore lack the intimate interes.
in the welfare of the family which is felt
by servants in other circumstances Inc
tenure of place is comparatively Short
few families keeping the same COOK 1or
a year at a time. In consequence OF this
shifting about the wage scale remains
virtually fixed for promotions are not
given to the peripatetic general servants
who, if they were more stable, would IN
a few years raise the standard or IN
come.
An organization Of domestic servants In
this city is hardly to be contemplated.
1t would be next to impossible to union
ize the women who do the cooking and
washing for Washington. They are In
large measure illiterate, and 1t may be
questioned whether they are sufficiently
ambitious to unite for purposes of self
Improvement. Nor is there a prospect OF
such changes in the domestic architec-
ture as to lead to any different relation
ships. Even II servants quarters could
be provided is there likelihood that they
would be utilized? An organization OF
housewives in this District might yield
some results, provided it were instru-
mental in raising the standard OF re-
auirements. A system of rigid refer
ences" would be useful. One OF the
gravest local evils In this connection is
the readiness with which housewives en-
gage servants without inquiry into theif
capacities or their records.

AVIATION ACCIDENTS.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
Reckless men can kill themselves at
aeroplaning. but the time when caref,ia
men can use the new machines with lit
tie greater danger than one rides behind

A London aviator has dropped out
not OF his machine. but Of the aviation
game. Probably feared the other drop
and quit in time.

in Philadelphia or in Washington. Much
worse things occur in American cities
than pitched battles between barricaded
outlaws and the police. If the English
people are in the least resentful of Amer
lean criticism on this subject they might
retaliate by pointing out the protracted
warfare which is sometimes waged on
this side Of the water when, for instance,
street railway employees go on strike and
the police appear to be helpless. The
London engagement between the So
called anarchists and the police and SOL
diers was more spectacular than some of
the battles that have ragged in the streets
OF our cities, but it was not as destruc-
tive Of life or property as. for an exam
pie, the Philadelphia affair of a year or
so ago, or the Columbus conflict of only a
few months since. 1t was by no means
as provocative of public contempt for
police efficiency as these repeatedly oc-
curing instances of mob rule in our
cities. However slow or inexpert or. timid
the Lon6on police may have been the
other day. the fact remains that event.
ually they got their men, even though
they were deprived of the satisfaction Of
getting them alive. The most deplorable
ness of the public to witness it, immense
crowds gathering as at a cricket match
or confiagration, and even paying good
prices for vantage places on the roofs Of
neighboring houses. Yet this is not an
unusual aspect Of such encounters be-
tween the forces of order and those of
disorder. The innocent bystander" is
the most frequent victim of mob violence
in America. Whenever a crowd forms
intent upon doing mischief, as in the
case of a street car strike, q much larger
crowd forms composed of those who
hope to see. something happen. They are
disappointed if a street car is not over
turned or fired upon, or if the police do
not make a noisy but rarely effective
charge upon the rioters. They press in
closely upon the lines of disturbance, and
the wonder Is that more are not killed
1t Is to be hoped that the police Of the
American cities will not have occasion
soon to give a demonstration of how to
handle a situation like that in London.
The tragedy In the British capital may
prove an effective object lesson.
