Grotte Saves Money

City Purchasing Agent Grotte says he
is saving at least $50 per year on the
cost of glass globes for the gas lights.
These globes have heretofore been pur-
chased in New York. Grotte is purchas-
ing them here at s. dozen less than
has formerly been paid. About sixty
dozen are used each year.
Grotte has authorized the manufacture
of street sweeping brooms in Commits
sioner Kugel's shop and these are being
made at cost Of less than $50 per dozen.
The price formerly paid for these was
800 per dozen.
I'VE are not only making them at a
third the cost" said Grotte, but they
are much better than what has been
used"

FLOWER DAY FOR THE BLIND.

October 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th will
be celebrated throughout the State as
Flower Days for the benefit OF the
Maryland Workshop for the Blind :.
Since the inauguration of this noble
work for the benefit of the adult
blind, it has been developed that
there are far more cases of men and
women who have lost their sight and
are without occupation, therefore de-
pendent upon others, than was an
ticipated.
Il is distressing to contemplate
what the loss of vision means to u
person, but with the loss comes lack
of occupation, and if the person have
thos, that are dependent upon them,
who can imagine what the feelings of
such p2rson are?
the object of the Maryland Work

lars a week, but great many young
women live on less because they are
partially supported by their families.
When any employer tells you that he
pays his girls five or six dollars
week, and that he employs only young
women who live at home, you can be
sure that that employer who does not
pay a living wage is practically sub
sidized by the families Of his em7
ployes
THE Vacation Savings fund was or,
ganized primarily to help the poorly
paid working girl to save money for
a vacation, but we hope ultimately to
convince employers that a girl who
works only fifty weeks Is of greater
value than one who works So weeks.
You must know that the greater num-
Der OF girls making five and six dol
lars week do not receive paid vaca-
tions, and those that do have little
chance of enjoying them, because
their two weeks wages are mortgaged
in advance to their families.
The Vacation Savings fund was
organized to help girls earning small
wages to put aside sums ranging from
five to twenty-five cents a week for
the purpose of taking two weeks
vacation In the country.
The girls do not wish to feel that
they were in any way the recipients
of charity, and there is nothing that

Charity solves no social problems-in
