AIDING THE AFFLICTED
shortly systematic effort to stamp
out tuberculosis In the factories Of
Worcester will really begin.


In America not more than 14.3 per
cent of the whole female population
is engaged In gainful occupations, as
against 61,3 per cent of the male.
Moreover. even this 14.3 per cent be-
comes still much smaller when only
the native whites of native parentage
are considered, as the average for the
whole country results from the partici-
patton of the negro women. In Ger
many the percentage of workingmen
is the same as In America. Gil per
cent. but the percentage OF working
women is 30,4 per cent. Almost TO-
100000 women are breadwinners in
Germany. There are three and a half
million women engaged In Industrial
work and business. as against ten and
four-fifths million men, and especially
characteristic of the German situation
seems the fact that 73S,999 women are
independent owners and heads OF es-
Establishments One and three-tenths
millions are laborers in factories. In
the textile industries, for instance, the
women are in the 900

WISE MOVE IN EFFECT AMONG
WORCESTER MANUFACTURERS.
Employees Afflicted With tuberculosis
Given Free Treatment In Chance
to Recover Health.

Health among employees has become
manufacturing centers. and an evil
dence Of this is an experiment that
has been carried on In Worcester,
Mass. There an agreement was made
among employers concerning workers
afflicted with tuberculosis. and some
Of the results of the agreement were
recently made known.
The campaign started In shoe fac.
tory. where an employer, learning that
one of his men had tuberculosis, sent
him to the state sanitarium for six
months and paid his salary while
there. A movement was then started
to get other manufacturers interested
in the same kind of work.
Thirty-four responded to letters that
were sent them. Twenty-four prom
lsed to send employees to the state san
itarium at Rutland for three months:
four for three months or over; one
for Ave months. and Ave gave no spe-
affected by this agreement was 10000.
However, things did not work out
quite as well as expected. Some of
the thirty-four manufacturers. after
they had made their promises in the
letters. failed to live up to them. Elev-
en- did. however, and some beneficial
results have been obtained. Patients
were treated from six weeks to six
months. OF these three were pro
nounced cured. eight were improved
at the end OF their stay. one was not
improved seven died. and Ave moved
away from the state.
But these patients only represent a
part OF the total number of persons In
whom tuberculosis may exist. In the
factories that promised to enter into
the agreement and then backed out
no medical examinations have been
made and no effort exerted to see that
persons afflicted with tuberculosis
have been taken care OF, The bureau
that is endeavoring to bring about the
manufacturers cooperation In caring
for tuberculosis now is working &c

agreement. and 1t is believed that

This Is because the laws OF the
country provide that the employee, to
receive damages from the employer
when injured, must show negligence
on the part of the employer. How
ever, In foreign countries conditions
are different. In Great Britain, when
a workman Is injured, law of parlia-
ment provides that the employer must
pay damages. Germany compels its
workers to be provident and to con-
tribute to an old age and sickness In
surance fund that includes disability
for thirteen weeks. The burden OF
further insurance rests entirely on the
employer In France. the employer
must pay specified compensation In
all cases of injury. Further than this
the burden of payment of damages In
case of injury rests solely on the EN-
ployer In Belgium. British Columbia
the Cape of Good Hope, Denmark, Fin
land, Italy. the Netherlands, New Yea
land. Norway, Russia. South Aus
tralia. Spain. Sweden. and West Aus
tralia
But America has no national laws
of the kind. In the United States the
workman must rely solely on his own
savings or private insurance. or the
charity of his employer.

Too Frequently Efforts to "Keep
Up Appearances" Result in
Dire Calamity.
BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF
Respect Of Those Worth Considering
Is Never Lost by Frank Avowal
That There Are Things One
Must at Present
Do Without.

How many times have you heard IL
said that this man or that woman Is
keeping up appearances?' 1t is one
of the most common expressions OF
the day, and conveys to us the idea
that the person to whom 1t Is applied,
is making extra effort or living be-
yond his means. 1t Is really signih-
cant that the expression is used more
frequently in business circles than
anywhere else.
While 1t is true that q great many
people who can afford to do so, keep
up appearances for appearances SAKE
there are vastly more people who en-
deayor to appear better than they
can afford, fearing that they lose the
respect OF their neighbors II they do
not do so. Many a man and woman
engages In this struggle just as long
as they possibly can, and then go
down and out. Their fall is harder
than 1t would have been II they mad
been honest with themselves and their
neighbors.
Keeping up appearances when one
is really unable to do SO, Is decep'
ton, sometimes 1t Is fraud, and some
times crime 1t Is a tragedy from be

PUTS END TO STRIKES

TO ADVANTAGE IN AUSTRIA.
Public Employees In Organization
Which Makes II to Their Interest

ment as to an expression OF grleV-
ances and a demand for redress there
Of are In an indeterminate condition
and a matter of present consideration.
It may be stated definitely that
strikes are not resorted to. This IS
largely due to the fact that after some
years of service all government en-
pIoyes are entitled to pensions. which
are so graduated as to attain to the
maximum at the approximate age OF
retirement, emitting an employe to re-
tire after thirty-five years of service
on full pension This makes 1t to the
interest of state employees in whatever
line to avoid such conduct as might
lead to dismissal before the pension
