At the End of the Rainbow
Whose Ok Is GOred.
BY WALT MASON.

you are wearing a singularly bea-
tific smile this evening. my dear Mrs.
JiSgers.' remarked the star boarder.
I'VE had such a splendid woman
suffrage meeting this afternoon" re-
piled Mrs. Jiggers. Mrs. j. De Puy-
ster Smith from New York was pres
ent and made such helpful address.
She has investigated conditions in the
cities of the country. and had facts to
back up everything she said She
showed how the working woman is
compelled to accept much lower wages
than the workingman. even when she
does as much work and does it well.
Nothing could be more unfair than
that. But when the women vote they
can remedy such things. and the
working woman Will get Justice
Il admire your profound sympathy
for the stricken working woman, Mrs.
Jiggers.' said the star boarder. with
feeling. Il hope. with you, that the
dawn Of a better day is at hand for
that unfortunate female, but I am
afraid If she has to wait for that bet
ter day until her sisters remedy her
condition she'll wait until the cows
come home. I fear me much that
woman has no more sense than man in
the consideration of such living issues.
when the average man has sore
head or SPAWN on his off limb he
wants to cure it at the polls. The man
who is out of work because of his own
inefffciency thinks the government is
to blame and wants somebody turned
out Of office. The clerk who draws
small wages wants to have law
passed in his favor instead of taking
off his coat and earning bigger wages.
Now, it seems woman has the same
superstitious faith in the political
remedy, and when you have full priv
ileges at the polls you are going to
right every wrong that the sex endures
The other evening I sat on the back
porch. basking in the golden light OF
the dying day. if you will pardon such
a poetic expression. The window was
open and you were seated near the
window, Mrs. Jiggers. interviewing an
applicant for 4 position in your
kitchen. The applicant was full
grown young woman. able bodied and
energetic. She asked 81 a week as
return for her arduous labors and you
refused to pay more than $3.50. The

WOULD USE SOFT COAL
IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS
District Engineering Depart
ment Believes Saving
Could Be Effected.

Believing that the use of soft coal
in the various office and school build
ings under the jurisdiction of the Dis
trict government will result in a great
saving on the annual coal bill of the
District, and at the same time give
equally good results as obtained by the
use of hard coal. officials of the engi-
neering department of the District are
now making tests to get definite data on
the subject.
That the smoke nuisance often encoun-
tered when soft coal is burned may be
avoided already has been shown. as
more thar eighteen months ago the Com
missioners had a soft coal plant installed
in the District building. which has given
satisfactory results. Although this plant
cast $4,000, it already has paid for itself
in reduction of the coal bill since its in
stallation, and the saving from now on
in this one building may be considered
clear gain. when the cost of hard coal is
considered.
The first year that the soft coal plant
was used the coal bill was s., 500 less than
the year before. The plant was ordered
by the Commissioners on the recommen-
datiOn of Maj. f. NJ. Markham. assistant
engineer commissioner of the District.
System Satisfactory.
We. have thoroughly tested the burn
ing Of soft coal in the District building"
said Mai. Markham this morning, land
have found it satisfactory. and also we
have found that with the present plant
no more smoke results than did formerly
when the hard coal was used
The average annual coal bill Of the Dis
trict, hard coal being used, is about
SOOOO, and it is said that if soft coal
were substituted in all the buildings that
the saving would be large.
Maj. Markham said this morning that
as the cost of installing soft coal plants
in all of the buildings would be great il
will be necessary for thorough expert
ments to be made by his department be-
fore any definite recommendations are
made to the Commissioners. He sug-
gested that If it were found advisable to
make the change that the new plants
might be put in gradually, thereby not
necessitating a heavy expense at one
time.
