in addition to the common require
ments of the college course. The wis
dom of planning in advance is urged
upon college girls; an added curricu-
lum course or two, or few weeks
of vacation study may supply the
missing element.
The peculiarly difficult phase of the
enterprise is the narrowing down of
the bureaus work to territory def
nitely collegiate. The managers re-
port that they could have doomed a
stenographic bureau for high school
girls or a registry for private house
keepers out of the mass of early in
quiries. 1t will be easier to educate
the women to full understanding and
use of the. opportunities available
than to convince employers, simply
because the women are more accessi-
BILE to the agents. But sceptical quer-
les as to the need for college women
seem to be convincingly answered by
the success of an agency so delimited
in filing satisfactorily 422 out of 1872
such requests in year and a half.
The report is largely family affair
whose details lack general interest,
but an appended analysis of "oppor-
tunities in nontesching occupations"
is suggestive, not the less useful be-
cause a product of business expert
ence rather than Of scientific study"
Women are found to be increasingly
successful in agriculture and allied
occupations, and some have combined
inn keeping with farming, joining in
one enterprise production and market.

FlOgging of Felons i'm Delaware

Chicago Evening Post: Delaware
has system of Furnishing convicts so
out of harmony with the ideas OF
most civilized nations and individuals
that congress has been invoked to in
wade her estate rights" and put an
end to it. In each of Delaware's
county seats is a whipping post, and
unlike the stocks and pillories which
were once its companions it has not
been pensioned off. To the whipping
posts of Delaware petty thieves, bur-
glars and occasionally those guilty Of
other offenses are tied and flogged.
A majority of the victims, it is said,
are negroes, and that and the fact
that the county seats are small coun-
try towns is partly responsible for
any lack of public sentiment in Della
ware itself against the practice. The
practice seems to US indefensible on
any grounds, and that fact is nowhere
more apparent than in the kind Of ar
gument to which. it's defenders are re-
duced. In the debate which recently
took place in the house of representa-
tives, following a resolution that in
junction proceedings be brought
against the lash welding authorities
Of Delaware, speaker against the
resolution was driven to the old de-
vice of Biblical quotations. The fact
that the remarks in the Bible on the
subject of corporal punishment refer
to the advisability of using that form
of correction on children by their par
ents, and not on adults by servants
If the state, did not deter this advo-
cate of medievalism from their use

putting the opposition to flogging
down to sentimentality or even to
sympathy with the felon the uphold
crs of the practice fail altogether to
reckon with the real grounds of OBJ
lection to it. One does not have to
sympathize with the felon at all to
see that their reconciliation with So

| In business the classification is intri-
cate, but the bureau has been success
full in getting women into executive
positions in department stores and
public service corporations. There is
scarcity of good dieteticians, for, whom
comes a call from hospitals, other
public institutions and clubs. Condi-
tions as to salary and duties are as
yet regretably choice. Restaurant
and tea room managers are in de-
mand, but these positions, like those
of matrons and house mothers, stem
ographic and secretarial positions,
while frequently handled by the bu-
reau, are hardly in the strictly collie
giate class.
Library work, including indeXing
and so on, often required by large
business concerns, is growing oppor-
tunity for educated women; indeed,
two years of special training subse-
quent to the college course is often
required. Translators in the modern
languages are little in demand and
poorly paid and there is little call for
literary or historical research work
ers merely as such. These occupa-
tions are more commonly adjuncts of
secretarial employment. Writing and
editing are outside the agency field,
but the bureau has placed many ap-
plicants with literary people as secre-
taries, with perhaps the added duty
of preparing manuscripts for the
press, proofreading, etc.-with
dreadful hint at "some editing, and
not infrequently the actual writing"
Of laboratory assistants the demand
seems to lag behind the supply. In
social work advancing standards of
efficiency require special training or
experience.
In the professions, law, medicine,
architecture, landscape gardening, the
bureau is unable to aid in the build
ing up of private practice. but does
place some salaried assistants. Inte-
rior decorating requires long prepara-
tory study, but girls taking it up as
apprentices cannot expect more than
SIS or $40 a week. The duplex re-
quirement of business ability and art
training is severe. Nursing requires
two or three years of training, and
college women are in constant demand
as superintendents of hospitals and
training schools, and in "social serv-
ice" work Salaries for those who can
meet the exalted requirements are ex-
cellent, and seekers Of such employ
ment surprisingly few.
An officer of the bureau writes:

Jobs for Women

New York Sun: The college girls
problem, "What am / to do with my
self? ?" has been translated into new
terms, "What shall we do with our
girl graduates ?" by the intercollegl-
ate bureau of occupations, an agency
managed by an association of college
alumnae in this town as an intern1e-
diary between graduates of women's
colleges who seek employment better
than office hackwork and employers
who need women workers in positions
where higher education or special
technical training is required. Since
October /, 1911, the bureau has been
the means Of filling more than 400
positions in a great variety of occu-
pations.
Its operations, directed by an ad-
visory board composed of the presi-
dent of Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke,
Smith, Vassar and Wellesley; the
deans of Barnard and Radcliffe, and
the adviser of women students at Cor
nell, and executed by an earnest and
efficient corps of women graduates,
the bureau is prominently fitted to
advise and assist the girl who con-
fronts the difficulties of still unde-
veloped economic status" Teaching
no longer wholly satisfies; the college
woman wants something bigger and
better paid for. 1t has been found
that other occupations offer an in

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble

So common Is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that 1t Is
tue cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for a while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of a new beverage that is
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink. She writes:
II am 40 years old and all my life
up to a year and half ago, nau
been a coffee drinker.
Dyspepsia, severe headaches and
heart weakness made me feel some
times as though l was about to die.
After drinking cup or two OF hot
coffee. my heart would go like clock
without a pendulum. At other times 1t
would almost stop and l was SO nerv-
ous 1 did not like to be alone.
"If l took a walk for exercise, as
soon as l was out Of sight of the house
I'd feel as II l was sinking, and this
would frighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly refuse to support me,
and the pity Of it all was, did not
know that coffee was causing the trou-
BILE.

persons were relieved of such ailments
by leaving off coffee and drinking Post

directions and liked the first cup. Its

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells of Strange Bombardment
of His Vessel.

Capt. A Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp. which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports
strange experience at sea on August I.
= In report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least,
a violent electric storm broke out. and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 12:15
a. m, August s, the steel foremast OF
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display OF st. Elmo
fire. as the mast gave out loud reports
ar If from a powerful wireless appara-
t,is.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.
