How many occupations In which men

believe that the labor statisticans have
succeeded In finding three. In all the
rest women are given every chance at q
livelihood from which Nature has not
haired them out by some physical dis
qualification: whereas q few tasks which
call for extreme deiicacy OF touch and
an indoor life are reserved almost ex-
clusively for women.
And how about compensation? In those
States where women vote now their
wages are on the same scale for the
same work as everywhere else: while as

welfare of workingwomen the nonsuf-
