Helen, the house wrecker, is the oldest.

In the Kolba parlor is long mirror

New York.

II you had dropped Friday afternoon
into the Equal Franchise headquarter,
East Thirty-seventy street, or the
rooms of the Woman's Political Union
at 46 East Twenty-ninth street or the
meeting place of the Woman's Suffrage
party, Thirty.fourth street and Madison
avenue, probably some fluffy haired
young woman with expressive eyes
would have assured you that there are
now no lines of work in which women
do not compete on an equal basis with
the men. Aud then as you left any of
those places you might have stopped for
a minute or so to watch the workmen
tearing down some old houses near Fifth
avenue and Thirty third street. In the
boss of the fifty -strong destruction gang
at work there you would have seen a
confirmation of the suffragist's state
ment-a woman house wrecker.
And not suffragette at that She is
Miss Helen F. Kolba, just old enough
to vote if she had the chance, and
rather good looking. She is real
boss, too, with five years experience
under her father, Morris Kolba, who
taught her the business.
How does she work. About as any
other house wrecker would. Dressed
in dust-staned short skirt and coat,
her hair white with mortar and plaster,
she directs her men, with the advantage
that she can tell them what she wants
in Polish, Russian and German as well
as English.
She lives at 357 East Fourth street.
To get there you must thread your way

thousands of children that overflow into
the streets of the lower East Side until
