GIRLS IN ENGLAND.
ASK SQUARE DEAL
Declare Fact They Do Not Have
Equal Chances With Boys
Causes Discomfort.

LONDON, May 25.-Resuming her
role as the mouthpiece of the inartic-
ulate,' Miss Josephine Knowles again
discoursed at the Steinway hall on the
subject Of unmarried daughters
Since her last lecture she said she
had re@efvv6 hundreds of letters from
girls who were unhappy. who were liv-
ing at home and who We're cared for in
the way of food clothes and necessa-
ries. but were without the command Of
a sixpence. and had no training or edu-
cation fitting them to earn their own
living.
It had been suggested that immigra
ton on a large scale, such as she had
suggested, was not a sufficiently drastic
remedy. What did her critics put for
ward as an alternative-the lethal
chamber? At any rate, her solution,
Miss Knowles declared was based on
sound common sense. For here in Eng
land we had q large number of super
fiuous women and in the colonies men
were wanting wives and unable to find
them.
1t was incontestable that there was
at the present day great mass of
women and girls in this country who,
for one reason or another, were out of
the running They had practically no
separate existence-they could say, Il
will do this or that" and had to qualify
ii by adding, IF they will give me the
money" Was it to be wondered at that
there was a great and growing restless
ness among women, and was anybody
. prepared to say that it was not a
danger?
The great reason was that middle
class girls had not enough scope and
outlet in their parents hands They
used to be content with their needle
work and their pianoforte. but those
days were past, and 1t was the anti
auated point of view still held by many
We'll meaning parents which CALLED and
made them unhappy.
They could not conceal from them
selves that parental love often was
cloaked by a good deal of petty tyranny
which kept the girls of the family in an
upholstered cage. They were kept in a
narrow grove by what seemed an in
visible srell, and until that spell was
broken and girls were given equal
chances with the boys, women would
not be content.

LONDON CARRIERS
TOLD To STRIKE

LONDON. May 25-With the strike
of the transport workers as a nucleus,
labor troubles in London are growing
al an alarming rate. The Carriers union
has called a strike of all draymen and
drivers of BUSES and delivery wagons.
If effectual, this will tie up traffic and
prevent the distribution of foodstuffs
This would bring famine close to o.
100000 persons.
The head of the transport workers to-
day served notice upon the dock. COM
panes that the men would not return
to work as long as the companies main
tanned an open shop and hired non
unionists
AS a result Of the transport walk
out, the London and Brighton and the
Southeastern railroads notified all snip
pers that they would not accept the re-
sponsibility for delay in the monde

A WONDERFUL BOOK
THAT B.H.S. ~ ANNUAL
The Makers Had a Lot of Fun.
But 1t Required Some
Work, Too.

The editors in their preface call it "a

find so good an annual as The Alci-

ing class of the Atlanta Boys High
school
From title sheet to what is called
oThe F,nd-Up" (the same being the pic
ture of a monkey, hanging by his tan

the energy. capability and joy OF living
of these young Atlantans.
They say they had a lot of fun IN
getting it up. That doubtless is true
but every ounce of fun they had was
the result of hard work. But in few
DAVIS thev'u be lucky days, with moth
in to do till September.

on "The Alciphronian" are

DOESN'T LIKE

Des Moiness apital: IT is signify
cant that when the telephone patrons
at Sioux City were asked to state
their prefere. between an auto

vote was strongly for the former.
Just at the present time there is agi-
tation In Des Moines for an automa-
tic service II the Sioux City refer
endum vote Is any criterion, Des
Moines patrons need not doubt that
the automatic system will be in every
way satisfactory.
Sioux City, however, is about to UNI
dergo {. consolidation such as Des
Moines underwent some years ago
and from which this city is still SUI
ring. In many respects one tele-
okrne system is an improvement over

actual question of service, it Is to be
doubted whether this city has been
the gamer. The removal OF competi
( ton has apparently worked to the
detriment of the patrons. There are
more complaints today over delays in

offs" in the midst Of conversation and
I in poor service generally than ever
