Considers the Girl.

In the eyes of the law, man and
woman must stand on the same ground
as to their responsibility, but most of
us will concede greater consideration
for a woman and it is but natural. It
does seem to me, however, that man is
inclined to disregard his responsibility
and this case is an instance of it. Here
is little girl in poverty and she has
been operation the post office at
Hooking for the pitiful salary Of $3.50
per week, not enough to keep her.
Now I do not want to say anything
derogatory OF that postmaster, but
do not think that he should ever have
been appointed. He is able to earn
enough each day to pay this girl for
running the post office and he is one
of those who secure an appointment
and farm it out.

These young men handle tens of thous-
ands of dollars each day and are paid
barely enough to live on, notwith-
standing that they have this tempta-

the case with this little girl. 1t is a
wonder to me that more of our girls
do not go astray one way or another
because Of the temptations to which
they are subjected and the small pit
lance paid them for their work.

you take your mother home or let her

to make and I will not make 1t any
harder for you that it is. If can be of

with practically everything in it,
together with the first floor overhead
were charred and burned. The fire
was SO hot that even the asbestos pa

burned off. Two Of the lead pipes at
tached to the gas meter were burned
in two and volumes of gas escaped
during the time the firemen were at
work controlling the blaze.
Effective work enabled the fire
fighters to keep the flames from get

flames worked through in several
places. but the chemical engine was
used to snuff them out, at the same
time doing very little damage by water
