get higher wages and are better
treated than in any other store on
State street.
l cannot absolutely say about the
wages, but do know; that it is the
general impression on State street
that the Boston Store wages are
higher than the others because of the
commission plan adopted by Mrs.
Netcher, after she, poorly paid sales
inspector, married the owner of the
store. And certainly agree with
Miss Won Kettler that no other store
in the city gives a welfare worker as
free a rein to do what she believes
best for the employees as does the
Boston Store.
So I went with Miss Won Kettler
and had lunch with her in the en-
ployes lunchroom, and we talked.
And-I certainly enjoyed that lunch,
too. L had clam chowder-a gener-
Gus bowl-and crackers; very tender

to come over and attend the theater
with him. He was a little late in ar
irving to meet the train on which she
left her home town, and he did not
find her.
Inquiry among the conductors and
passengers on the train brought out
the facts. His wife, handsomely
goWned for the theater, had boarded
the train. Two men took seats be-
hind her. They told the conductor
that she was travelling with them and
to pay no attention to her protesta-
tons when they paid her fare, as she
was being taken to an asylum. She
demanded to know what right they
had to pay her fare, but frey refused
to talk to her and to explain her
actions told the passengers the story
they told the conductor. When the
train reached the station the con-
ductor saw the woman hurried away
between the men. No one ever saw
her again. Her husband has no doubt

discovered, after interviewing the
millionaire employers of State street,
that there are two-just two who
have shown by any real action that
they feel that they owe any duty to
their employees beyond that of mere
: business relationship.
These two are George Lytton of
the Hub and Mrs Charles Netcher
of the Boston Store. Well, I'll be alb
solutely fair, and add that one other
employer told me he was willing to
do all he could if shown how to do it.
That was Edward Hillman. and it was
because of what he said that l per-
suaded Miss Adelaide Won Kettler,
who is by way of being mother" of
the Boston Store employees, to let me
tell of the work she is doing under
the direction of Mrs. Netcher.
Miss Won Kettler told me that she

his belief. -
And it is not the only incident OF
the kind! es
Why do go into these facts? Be
cause they are facts; because people
must realize that not the minimum
wage alone, but clean city govern
ment is necessary to protect the
women of a city. Do not misunder-

SADIE. AS I said, it is vital.
But the greater independence of
well paid working girls will drive the
slavers to desperation to supply the
demand; then the proper administra-
ton of law and the honest exercise of
police power will be absolutely ne
cessary to guard women from forci-
BILE slavery. Such administration of
municipal government as is daily re-
vealed in New York city we suffra-
gists cannot condemn too severely.

FIGHTING
 DANGEROUS DRUGS

If the measures proposed by the International Opium Conferencef in session at The Hague are to be effec- tuaI. every state in this union must help fight these growing habits.
 Tn most states in this country, if an opium hend finds his supply low. he can borrow or steaI doctors pre- seraption pad Then he goes to the next city. writes a prescription, and gets his demand filled at any drug store. A fayorite trick is to print a fake letterhead indicating that the sender fig a druggist. It goes to some distant manufacturer, usually it works In Jersey City children re- gently were buying cocaine of ped- dIers.
 There Is profit in dangerous drugs They don't cure a trouble. simply be- come indispensable There is little profit in remedy if regular GUS toner is lost by effecting a cure.
 It is natural for almost any one to try to stimulate ebbing vitality and ease pain by opium and cocaine. The latter gives a half hours capabi1ity for intense effort, so is often used by athletes
 A terrible price Of moral, mental, and psysical ruin is paid. The drug makes the exemplary mother indiffer- ent to her children, it turns guile less clergyman into a thief, an6 the shrewd business man into a pauper.
 The physician who uses a hypoder- mic syringe freely does injustice to his patients The remedy seems easy. Next time 1t hardly seems worth while to see a doctor. Often a boy of ff- teen can buy a hypodermic syringe as easily as a jack-knife. These soft consolations seem for a moment to separate the victim from sorrow by a veil of silk. Soon this veil divides the taker from normal happiness by a wall of steel.

INDUSTRIAL
 ACCIDENTS

Workmen's compensation laws will do much to- prevent litigation and dis tribute the burden of industrial injur- les But they do nothing toward restoring the 60O,Oo0 of killed and mained men that factories. mines. and railroads turn out in this country in ~ year.
 Realizing the burden of this tax, the National Association of Manufac- turers is to send out a six car railroad train this summer through the great industrial centers. with exhibits and motion pictures to emphasize the dan gers of industrial occupations. and the means for escaping them.
 Experts say half the accidents are due to lack of safety devices, the otffl- CT to the typical carelessness of the American workmen. One authority gays the American mechanic takes six times as many chances as the EnsIishman.
 Workmen who sometimes try to rig up extemporized devices to protect xhiriing knives and gears say they are ~derided by their fellow employees. when a bunch of men get together they seem to dislike to display either fear or caution
 Any one who is familiar with rail- road work knows how the employees will jump rides on cars and engines, to save themselves five minutes walk.
 One investigator found that in re- cent year, 526 men were killed by in dustriaI accidents in Alleghany- coun- ~. Pennsylvania Two thousand more came to hospitals for injuries. Of the latter number, one-fourth were per zzaansntty crippled.

AROUND THE

It has been remarked that if tlae Mississippi river were to dry up, and all the soda water consumed in the United States tu571ad into it's bed. the stream would carry on it's sacchariIse bosom large ocean-going ships.
 Anyway the soda fountain is a dis tinctively American institution. It has advanced both in splendor and substantial value during recent years. Formerly soda fountains were simple little cabinets. A few havors were provided. usually vanilla, strawberry, chocolate. lemon and orange. The village girls knew them by heart. backward and forward Those of epi- curean habits varied the list by com binations. supposed to appeal to ed ucated tastes
 Now millions are spent in. marble, glitter and statuary in the more cost ly resorts. which dazzle the eye and contribute to the sense of luxury.
 The old time product of this per ennia1 fountain was a fzzy and windy mixture of honeyed sweetness, that temporarily seemed to assuage thirst
  modern fountain runs into more sub stantiaI foods Enormous quantities of eggs. milk, butternilk, and cream are dispensed. These not merely pro- yoke a temporary sense of coolness. but supply real nourishment and help one much better to stand the strain of heat and humidity.
 The tremendous vogue of the soda fountain is an evidence of the growth Of temperance sentiment. It is far less marked in Europe, where use of intoxicating liquors Is more general Tn this country there are host of people, without desire to criticise tenn perate persons who think differently. who have a sincere preference for the water wagon. It takes no promo seitzers to clean up the effects of strawberry ices. and no dull brown feeling follows the refreshing glass of egg and milk

done a call for a special town meeting will at once follow.
 That the scheme will go through, if started, there is little doubt. The se- 1ectmen are not obstructively. disposed and public sentiment in Georgetown is overwh whelning1y in favor. Among the enthusiastic advocates of Sunday games is the venerable Major Miller, president of the Gilbert 6 Bennett Go. and Georgetewn's foremost citizen. Mi chae1 Connery, another leading citizens is on the same side. The Catholic priest and the Lutheran minister have taken no part in the suppression cru Sade and there are reports that Rev.
 MT. Kirby, the Congregational minis ter who at first shared Rev. MT. Wise's activities for suppression, has evident
 ly lost his former zeal, leaving the
 young Methodist minister almost the
 sole champion of what he regards as
 the cause of law, order and righteous
 ness. The suggestion >to a Georgetown
 man that the minister must be get ting dts1iked by the ball playing ele-
 ment brought this response:
 ''Wel, guess the boys will see to it that he doesn't get much sleep on the
 night before the Fourth Even his own congregation are not all with him in this Sunday business, although the dissenting ones make no open opposi- ton. Another of his actions which has caused criticism is his distribu- ton of 1eaflet or pamphlet on sex hygiene. He says they were furnished him for that purpose by the Confer ence or some other authoritative body Of the church and while the intention l is undoubtedly good, a good many re- gard the circulation of such literature as of dubious propriety."
