DETROIT, Mich, Dee. Is. - In the
1913 season of navigation on the
Great Lakes, now closing, % boats
ended their existence. being total
losses, about 20 lives were lost and
800 or more minor accidents occurred
In 1912 thirty-fve lives were lost. 10
vessels went to the bottom never to
be- raised again aud 200 minor ac,
dents occurred. The most important
loss OF the season was the sinking of
the steamer James Gaylev on Lake
Superior by collision with the steamer
Rensselear, the combined loss of
ship and cargo being 100000; while
this season there were seven losses.
each Of which exceeded that amount.
The loss OF life would have been com
parativcly small this year had it not
been for the big storm of Nov. OIL
when all of the losses of lives except
seven were recorded.
An approximate estimate places the
total loss of the season of 1918 at
about S7.0S7 900, including loss of
eargoes. damaged by collision and
stranding. This is undoubtedly thu
biggest season loss ever recorded on
the lakes, and is the more remarkable
that it occurred largely at one time
/ The total financial loss to steamer:
and cargoes, aside from this storm
would hardly have exceeded $1,000,

INDUSTRIAL STATUS
OF WOMEN CHANGING
Address by Prof. George Groat of Uni
versity of Vermont Before Brat
tlcboro Woman's Club.

\ regular meeting OF the BiattIcboro
Noman's club was held in the chapel OF
the Centre congregational church yestcr-
day afternoon Owing to the inability OF
Hon John Barrett. director OF the bu-
rcau Of Pan-.American republics, to fill
his engagement to address the club on
this date, the program committee secured
Prof. George Groat Of the University OF
crmont who spoke upon The Changing
industrial Status OF Women Mr. Groat
spoke first Of the rapid changes IN indus
trial conditions. which make it impossible
for one to get Il wide knowledge OF any
industrial situation before the situation
has changed, and said these changes were
important in their influence upon the sta
tus of women. Women always have
worked first in the home, when the larg-
cr portion of the food for the family was
grown in the d0or-yard or garden patch
and the clothes were woven from wool
taken from the sheep which grazed on
land adjoining the house Then when
work was taken from house to factory
woman followed to complement the labor
Of man. The presence Of the large nrmbcl
of widows who support themselves and
their families Is directly connected with
the changing status of women. and many
Of these women are made widows by the
prevalence of accidents and industrial dis
ease. Legislation and factory inspection
are necessary to change these conditions
Now that many schools are intro
ducing Il Kind OF manual training, nclud-
ing domestic science and sewing for girls
Mr.. Groat suggests that there may be an
opportunity ior industrial training oi
| some kinds as we'll Mr. Groat said "A
closing; a practical Kind OF industriq
| education seems to bc the program su--
gertcd from contemplation Of the chang
| ing status in which women Of the country
