Two reasons for calling

They're in a class by them

as it is for Jack, and it makes life dull
and dreary. Every moral instinct is
shut out by labor and poverty. Some
times food, insufficient in quantity
and Of poor quality, is all that can be
gotten, and sometimes, too, the
poison of fatigue affects the health.
Let this go for months or years
is it not natural that girl should
become discouraged? When dis
couragement is kept up too long and
the normal instincts of youth are
crushed continually, Is there not
danger that the Encouragement shall
become despair and, once in the state
of despair, is glittering temptation,
perhaps devil disguised as an angel
of light, easier or harder to meet?
Leave the actual figures out of con-
sideration for a moment; is there not
danger in anything that keeps work
ing people-men or. women-con-
stantly distressed? ...-
Take the case of a girl who can
find no normal outlet for that within
her which cries out for expression,
who wants all of the normal things a
young girl OUGHT to want, and yet |
cannot get them. Is it not a fact |
that an abnormal means of express
sion, first regarded with shrinking,
may in time become less repulsive;
and, in the end, through mere exter-
nal pressure, be accepted?
One must distinguish between di-
rect and indirect causes, or between
causes which are real and conditions
which make it possible for i'll causes
to succeed. Low wages is not THE
CAUSE in this instance. Yet some |
times low wages are coincident with
conditions which give bad causes a
chance to do evil work.
Every man and woman knows that.
so to speak, there are impulses in
him, or her, some of which tend to |
lift~up, some to drag down. |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-04-23

partly by wages and partly by other
things, to strengthen the environ
ments which, let the forces which lift
up have play and to destroy the con-
dition under which the forces which
drag. down have play.
1t does not alter the facts to say
that many girls under hard condi-
tons resist the downward drag. That
does the girl honor because it shows
her character is stronger than the
drag. But the drag is there just the
same, and it may injure or destroy
weaker sister by providing the con-
ditions for her fall. What we want to
do is take away the drag.
Partly this may be accomplished
by giving our boys and girls some
thing to do. Too many go out into
life and find it a blind alley.
A young woman came to me for
employment few days ago. asked
her what she could do, and she an
swered nothing" There was place
where the downward drag had good
chance. Neither her brains nor her
hands ever had been taught to do
practical work. =. ....... ....
Training IN some vocational work
has a distinct moral and mental
value. 1t takes away the conditions
under which the downward drag gets
its best hold. There are many
fathers and mothers whose lives
would be happier if their children
would find education in some definite
work in life, so they could not only
assist their parents, but could keep
their own bodies and souls together
in decency.
Many mother who knows the
path of danger she herself trod would
like to have the path made safer for
her boys and girls. Employers, here
and there, are recognizing the prin-
ciple of a minimum wage for women
and men. They gain thereby Sc

PHILIPPINE TRADE.
Imports From United States by
Islands Show Increase.
Large Gain 10 Shown In Cotton GOODS,
9 the Sale Of Which Almost Doubled
as Compared With Previous
Similar Period.

Washington. During the nine
months ending with March last the
value of the imports from the United
States into the Philippine Islands was
$l9.4GS, 592, or a. per cent. Of the total
importations. which amounted to $i3'-
S17.234
The increase of per cent In i'm
ports over the previous corresponding
period was due almost wholly to In
creased importations from the United
States.
Official statistics of the foreign com
merce OF the Philippines, compiled by
the bureau of insular affairs. show
also that this country figured In the
Philippine export trade to the amount
Of $1G.S3T.1IG or 80 per cent. OF the to
tai value, az against $l5.6l6,SG7 for
the same period OF the previous year.
Among the articles imported into
the islands from the United States.
SAYS a statement from the insular bu-
beau. cotton goods showed the most
marked Increase. the value during the
latter period being $5.lS9.464. as
against $2.991 .036 during the former,
an increase OF more than 30 per cent.
The total value Of cotton cloths TN
ported into the islands during the
nine months ending March, 1913. was
$8,625. S9G, as compared with $6.SSO.-
1872 during the previous year.
Other commodities which fgured
In the increase in importations we're
wheat. -four, automobiles. machinery.
mineral oils and rice.
The Increase In the value OF rice
fmportations was due entirely. how
ever. to the higher prices. as the guam
tity imported was slightly less than
during the previous year. The only
notable decrease was In the imports
Of cattle.
THE United States purchased hemp
from the islands to the value OF $1O.-
O1S.570, an increase Of S4,3e3.71b over
the same period for the previous year.
Approximately 80.000.000 cigars. with
a value Of $1.7OS.293. were exported to
this country. which represents ma
terial increase. There was a reduc-
ton In the value of sugar and copra
expectations, particularly to the Unit
ed States, due principally, however, to
reduced prices rather than 10 reduced
production"
