AMERICAN CHORUS GIRLS
WIN POINT IN LONDON
Following Tribune's Disclosures
Decourville Agrees to Employ
Them for Long Run.
GBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

London. July 9.-American chorus
girls working at the London Hippo
drome are not frightened now that
their return passage to the land OF
the free and the home of the brave
will not be paid. as. o.. learning that
The Tribune correspondent had found
out that the girls had asked the Ameri-
can Consulate for advice. Albert De-
courville, the manager, called the
American girls together after the matt
nee to-day and told them he was sat-
listed with their services and would
give them new contracts for the entire
run of Hello. Ragtime."
Mr.. Decourvilie was surprised that
the girls had gone TO the consulate TO
ask where they stood. and said II he
could find out who in company had
talked with The Tribune correspondent
he would discipline them. Mr.. Decour-
vile said to-day
Il never told the girls or in any way in
situated that they should make money
on the side. What ! did tell them was
that If they had a long engagement
here. say for six months, they should
be able to save money for their return
passage. II would be absurd to expect
them TO save their return passage in d
six weeks engagement. The contracts
definitely show that the return passage
must be paid if the girls are discharged
when the first six weeks expire or in
side of that time unless the girls are
discharged for drunkenness or other
serious cause.
Two girls Of the company were fired
for acting very badly. Indeed, they
were so drunk that they fell off the
runway into the audience. The Ameri-
can girls now here are good workers
and are very satisfactory. and ! can
keep them on long run J. they keep
on wording we'll
As the matter now stands II appears
that everything is asa.n serene. as Mr..
Decourville says he will keep the girls
employed unless they behave badly.
and in turn the girls DO not expect 20
do anything in a legal way unless a
crisis arises.

says UNCLE CIV

1t is written that there is such a
thing as being too ALFRED smart.
That is to say, that one may lay too
much stress upon the habit of caution
or may be SO skeptical that he iso-
lates himself from the vital thought
and action of the world. There may
be little external resemblance be-
tween the man who sees so many
dangers that he never undertakes
anything worth while and the smart
Aleck whom nobody can tell any
thing" but they are brothers under
their skins and behind their square
foreheads-the Barnacle brothers.
Both are suffering from an insidi-
Gus form of paranoia. Neither will
hearken to wisdom and both are
whelmed in folly. The one sets such
store by his own perverted views that
he sees only the snares and none of
the advantages of any given PROPOSE
ton. The other, firmly believing that
he was born with all the wisdom of
the world, rejects the views of others
without consideration. Neither is pro-
gressive, neither moves-each merely
has his being after the ancient and
accepted traditions of the Barnacle
family.
The man who invites you to tell it
to the marines or to Sweeney OF the
king of Denmark may be doing him
self an injustice, but he is giving you
good advice. Let the Barnacle stick
TO MS pIank-Save your views for
men of intelligence.
Similarly you are wasting your
time talking to the overly cautious
soul who sees portents in stones,
dangers in trees and shipwrecks in
the running brooks He, too, is a
Barnacle, and will move only when
he is scraped from his abiding place.
Both set much store on the negative.
They have faith in no man or in any
thing. For them the heavens are
filled not with signs and wonders,
but thunderbolts; earth is not the
home of a helpful, happy, aspiring,
loving race of men, but a desolate
region where one human monster is
is after US all.
The Barnacle brothers never make
mistakes. They merely stick and
thus avoid errors. Their less wise
and careful neighbors go about their
business with enthusiasm, falling
into error and climbing out, keeping
the world moving and getting ahead.
They develop judgment and back it
for gain. They do mems work, meet
mems losses and reap the rewards
of men. They have due regard for
safeguards and exercise a reasonable
amount of precaution. But they do
not permit their caution to smother
their initiative. They learn that in
the long run the fellow who moves
and hustles reckons more gain than
loss, and they are willing to pay the
price. Wherefore they prosper
All this, however, does not appeal
to the Barnacle brothers. There is
such thing as being too ALFRED |

money in bank Two weeks later
she had to draw out SIS Of it to make
even, and it was at the paving teller s
window she first caught sight of Brian
Van Vert. He was a young man, and
he was so courteous and kind as to
draw her particular attention. She had
never drawn check in her life, and
had to be shown how.
1t was an uphill fight with the girl.
but she hung on in hope of a better
thing. She had not been able to send
home dollar yet, nor to earn her own
way, but the landlady had encoura ged
her.
After bit Miss Kitty had to draw out
more money. More talk with the paying
teller. At the end of three weeks the girl
made up her mind to accept defeat and
return home. While at work for the "a

IN other ways to better herself, but with
out avail 1t seemed as if there was a
conspiracy against her. Yes she would
withdraw her balance and go back to
mother and say she had failed
A bank makes no mistakes-that is, the
mistakes are not made public. The re-
GGeivlng teller of the bank where Miss
Kitty deposited her $40 entered 1t on a
slip for the bookkeeper as $780, The girl
was given pass-book with that sum en-
tered upon it. She wondered over the odd
cipher, but was too timid to ask questions.
AT the close of the days business the
bank was short $3.50. but it was not traced
to the Clarkson pass-book. nor accounted
for otherwise, and the receiving teller had
to stand the loss
When Miss Kitty had made up her mind
to go home she knew that she had $50 in
the bank. In writing out her check she
made it for $500. She was thinking of the
extra cipher, as she thought of it in the
book. She received the money and rolled
1t up and put it in her bag and exchanged
a Few pleasant words with the teller and
passed out She never expected to see

until she reached her boarding house For
a few minutes she was dumfounded. She
had $500 instead of $50. How could the
teller have made such a mistake, for mis-

In the other instance she meant to be In

he drew Miss Kitty's hard luck story
from her, and said at its conclusion:

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Bankers in Chicago and other prin-
cipal reserve cities, it is reported, re-
cefve inquiries every day concerning
the money situation and outlook. The
Inquiries come not only from country
bankers but from merchants and man.
ufacturers anxious to know whether
conditions warrant expansion or call for
contraction in business plans. There
appears to be a general feeling that
while basic conditions in the United
States are favorable, there is some
vague thing or other to be guarded
against.
The fact that the questions are asked
and that business men are giving care
full consideration to the future, says
the Chicago ecord-HeraId, is a hope
full sign. The best way to head off
business trouble is to be on the lookout
and prepared to meet it. The reply
given by bankers to the inquiries is
that the present situation, particularly
as it is reflected in the money market,
suggests the advisability of running
strong in cash resources and the dam
ger of overextension in any direction.
Should present conditions in money
obtain in September, when the banks
are CdUSQ upon 10 meet the Q0Ildu0
for funds to market the crops, they
would be alarming. They are not
alarming now because there is time for
preparation.
The expectation of $50, 100000 in gold
from New York to South America and
various European centers since the
first of the year greatly restricted cred
its in this country. The credits of
Europe have been even more contracted
by the boarding of sums estimated to
aggregate between s400, 600, 900 and $780,
600 900 since the outbreak of the Balkan
war. A settlement of that war appears
to be the most potential source of re-
lief to the money markets of the world.
1t would restore to circulation boarded
funds and probably would permit this
country to take back from Europe
much of its gold.
Meantime the larger banks are being
sorely tried to meet the requirements
of their borrowing customers and at
the same time maintain proper cash
reserves. The money rate in Chicago
is virtually per cent, which is unusual
for this season. While present condi- |
tions last, however, bankers may be /
expected to employ such brake on
business as high interest rates afford.

WOMEN Do THE WORK.

The ability of Germany to maintain
an immense standing army and at the
same time successfully compete for a
large share of the worlds commerce
will be better understood when it is
realized that the women do the work.
The growth of German industry dur
ing the last half century is a fact well
known to all who study modern indus
tria; conditions. but few people are
aware of the large and increasing
share women are taking in it. In for
mer days the German wage-earning
woman was, as a rule, only to be found
in agricultural districts; but now they
are forsaking country life in increas-
ing nj nbers and are going to the
cities where great industries are
springing up and demanding their la
Dor. The number of women wage
earners in Germany is now larger than
in any other European country, and
from census reports it appears that it
is steadily increasing.
In 1882 the women employed in oc-
equations other than domestic service
numbered over 100000; rs years
later the figures stood at s,oo0,Oo0;
and while the employment of men has
II years. the employment of women
has increased 81 per cent. during the
same period.
At present a full third of the eco
nomic labor of the empire is being
carried on by women. Statistics re-
Gently published show that there are
9,5OO,0OO wage-earning women in
Germany, which means that nearly
every second adult woman is earning
her own living and directly contribut-
ing to the wealth of the country. There
is no doubt that to their work is large
ly due the wonderful industrial adj
vance made by Germany. which is
one of the most remarkable features
in recent European history
In 1906 there were no less than 81
women's trades unions, comprising
nearly 119, 900 members. The Textile
Workers union alone numbered 3D.
02o women, while the National I'm
ion of Women Clerks, founded FL
years ago in Berlin, is one of the best
organized unions in the country, num-
boring, in 1909, $4,000 members.

cause, and an evidence of it's almost
total collapse was furnished by the re-
turns of the recent primary election
which showed it to be in third place
drop from first place to third in less
than six months carries a significance
that cannot be misunderstood. If at
forded a test at this time it is not
likely it would make any better show
ing in Pennsylvania. Wherever the
people have had a chance to vote the
returns have shown that the new par
ty is no longer worth being counted
as a party.
There are several men at Harris
burg very much interested in the pass
age of certain measures, which they
hoped to force through with Washing
ton party votes, but it is dawning upon
them that they are leaders without a
party to follow.

EVENING CHIT
The Will Habit.
EY RUTX CAMERON.

Ine VIII Habit.
"A mans will is his heaven" says
an old proverb. 1t seems to me the
proverb-maker should have added,
'tor his HE'LL
The other day we were talking
about a woman who has a very pow
with whom she comes into contact by
the force of her tremendous will. She
has ruled her parents and brothers
and sisters for years. She is the DOM.
inant force in several societies to
which she belongs. Her profession
is that of nursing, and before she has
been in a patients home "a hours, she
is managing it, unless perchance she
happens to meet a will as strong as
her own. And that is very seldom.
Now this woman is extremely clev-
er and competent, and usually far
more capable of managing things
than those whom she dominates.
Moreover, she is self-sacrificing and
kind-hearted, and wants nothing
much as to help everyone. And yet,
as you easily imagine, she antagonizes
people everywhere she goes.
At the mention of this woman,
for her family, especially for a young
er sister whom she has managed into
a very pulp of incompetence. And
then the Man-Who Thinks spoke up
far more than anyone else"
"Why?" asked the Author-M Man.
Because she makes so many enc
mies?'
No. said the Man who-Thinks,
mot exactly that, but because she
can't help making so many enemies;
because she is the worst victim of her
own will. She dominates other peo-
pie by it, but think how it dominates
her. Remember, she didn't create
that will; it was born in her, and I
believe it drives her just as relentless
ly as she drives other people"
That's a rather new point of view,
isn't it?
But a very convincing one, I think
When one of these domineering
people comes into our orbit and tries
to drive us by his or her will, we are
apt to feel resentment. And yet after
all, are they not more to be pitied
than blamed?
We do not blame the man who in
herits a taste for drink; we pity him. |
But what is the power of a taste for |
drink compared to that of taste |
for dornineering? The love of drink |
is in the blood. we say. The imper- |
as well as everyone else is even more |
deeply rooted than that. 1t is a part /
of mans very nature.
I know a man who has antagonized |
his wife and children, and made his
home bleak and 1oveless place by !
he really wanted to do that? Do you
think he prefers loneliness and hate
to love? Not so. He is simply the
worst victim of his own will.
OF course. If they struggled hard
enough, these people could conquer
might the drunkard conquer his hab
1t. And yet we pity rather than
blame him. Why should we be less
Ienient to the victim of the will habit?
