After North Carolina voted to be a

One day commercial traveller went
up to an old negro in little town III

to him:

The old darby looked him carefully

that time and the 55 hours, or
work his full force in shifts, this
being regarded as the best way to
meet the situation. He can ar
range shifts for his force in any
way that is most helpful to him,
provided, of course, he observes his
ten hours daily and So hours
weekly. For instance, he can have
part of them work from morning
until five or six clock in the even
ing, and he can have another shift
come on at noon and work until
the closing hour at night.
It is the fault Of the shopping
public, and these are principally
women, that the merchants are
hard put to arrange their hours for
Christmas shopping, for if the
shopping were done during the day
(and the earlier the better), there
would be no question Of night work
in the stores, and the merchants
would be saved much trouble and
expense. 1t is the public, and not
the merchants on whom the blame
must fall for keeping stores open
long hours.
At the request of one merchant
in Wilmington, members Of the
Consumers League have been in
terviewing merchants this fall and
find them generally, not only will
ing, but pleased, to close at nights
If they can supply their patrons

Ten-Hour Law In Operation

1t is now fully five months since
the Ten-Hour law for women went
into effect, and if there has been
little heard from it, it is because
with practically no exceptions,
every manufacturer and merchant
In the state has made an effort to
comply with it's requirements.
They have found that compliance
with its provisions is easier than it
was thought. There was one pros
ecution at Georgetown by the Fac
tory Inspector, Miss Mary S. Ma
lone, and that proprietor, after be-
ing indicted on three charges and
fined for each one, has complied
with the law, and others, noting
carefully his case, have followed
suit.
With Christmas coming there
will have to be further understand
ing Of the law and consequently
compliance for the Christmas shop
ping. Miss Malone is emphatic in
her declaration that the law makes
no provision for overtime under
any circumstances. This is not
rule made by the inspector; it is
clearly stated in the law and Miss
Malone will have to see that it is
carried out.
The employer may work his fe-
male employees up to 55 hours a
week, provided he observes the ten
hour day with one weekly excep-
ton Of II hours, but he cannot
lawfully exceed the 55 hours in
any one week. There are two So
lutions Of the Christmas problem
for him. He may employ girls
working elsewhere less than the
lawful number of hours, and en-
pioy them the difference between

From present indications there
will be more holly for Christmas
decorations this season than for
several years. According to re-
ports the holly crop is showing up
well and the berries will be proli-
fic, which is one Of the main rea-
sons for the high prices obtained
at the Yuletide season.

militant ADMITS
FIRING BUILDINGS
Wife of Prominent Doctor
Makes Confession.
Says That She Had Been Member of
the Suffrasets' Arson Squad for
Six Months Without Hus-
bands knowledge.

Liverpool, England.-A remarkable
confession of dual life, which in
some respects equals the strange case
of Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde, was made
here Thursday by Mrs. Edith Rigby,
wife of rich and prominent doctor,
who admitted to the police that she
had been a member of the militant
suffragets' arson squad for six months
without her husbands knowledge.
Every night she would slip from
her home and set fire to buildings,
plant bombs or send threatening
letters to those opposing the cause.
She told the police that she had
caused at least 100000 damage
through her own exertions. Her hus-
band opposes suffrage and she had
to carry on her campaign of van
dalism clandestinely.
By day she appeared a gentle, duti-
full wife, with no thought of Votes
for women" but at night she went
forth with violence in her heart. She
was arrested.
After being taken to the police sta.
ton Mrs. Rigby dramatically con.
fessed burning down the mansion of
Sir w. H. Lever in Lancashire, when
over 100000 damage was done. She
also said she burned other buildings,
and risked her life night after night
in the manufacture of bombs.
