work, not only keeping their houses

many sorts Of trades and professions.

has been remarked upon by many nom

that as the women do not usually

ELECTRIC PLANT
CITY COMMISSION PLANS TO ADD
NEW MACHINERY TO THE
EXTENT OF 10000.

The electric needs of the city have
outgrown the facilities at the plant
and the city commissioners are plan
ming to increase the facilities neces-
sary to take care of the business of
the city. At the monthly meeting of
the commission last evening the mat
ter was given additional discussion.
and it was informally decided to be-
gin early i'm January to advertise for
bids for charging the plant so that
work could be commenced upon the
improvement at the opening of
spring. 1t is not the purpose of the
commission TO enlarge the building,
there being sufficient room to ac-
commodate the new machinery need
ed. This will include an additional
engine and a large dynamo. The cost
of the improvement is estimated at
$40, 900. and of this amount $15,800
is now in the electric fund, earnings
from the electric plant. Hence, il
will not be necessary to issue bonds
or incur any considerable Indebted
ness to make the needed improve
ment. The management of the plant
has been very satisfactory to patrons
during the past year or more, the
service being good, and rarely have
lights or power been interfered with
by shutting down the plant-and
| these interferences for only an hour
or two when trouble along the lines
resulted from storm or a breakage of
machinery in the plant. Such inter
ferences, OF course, are beyond the
control of the superintendent and en-
ployes in the plant, and patrons have
had no cause to complain hat they
| were not speedily remedied and serv-
ice resumed at the earliest possible
moment.
The commission plan of city gov
| eminent has been a success in Mad
| ison during the two and a half years
| it has been in existence in this city.
| Financial affairs have been improved
| all along the line, a large number of
| street crossings have been installed,
| and other public improvements made
which seemed to drag along and were
| apparently impossible under the old
| aldermen system. This is the result
| of the three commissioners working
together for the general good of the
city while under the former eight al

College Women
as Publishers

The following interesting data read be-
fore a meeting OF the Intercollegiate Blu
reau of Occupation, February II. were
cleaned from letters sent by the publish
ers in answer to the questions: How
many college women do you employ?
How do their salaries and capabilities
rank With those of the non-college
woman?
The Century Company reported that out
of 107 women thirteen are college grad
yates, several Of these are employed In
the dictionary department. one is the as
sistant of the secretary Of the company
and her critical opinion is valued. These
positions command salaries above the
average, but there are other women. not
college graduates, who are doing equally
good work and drawing commensurate
salaries.
Doubleday, Page & Co. wrote that they
had no women who are college graduates
in their employ.
The American Book Company employ
college women and non-college women in
the proportion OF to 4, and the salaries
are In the proportion VI 10 In favor
of the college women.
In the editorial department only, in
Houghton Miffin. are college graduates
employed-in 'he Boston offices. There
are four college women only in this de-
partment and none In the publishing or
manufacturing departments.
Only one out oil 80 women at Putnam
45th street establi shment Is a college
woman The writer furthermore states:
ION our st aft the WORK done by the COL
legs woman Is the most important and
her compensation IS properly higher"
d. c. Heath e. Co. employ six college
graduates among the 20 women on their
working staff. Their salaries are from
20 TO so per cent higher than to non
graduates of universities. The writer
adds TO the report that he thinks college
women are almost indispensable In and
out of business.
out Of 500 employed by CHM & Co, 10
are college graduates.
Twenty per cent OF the women en-
ployed by d. Appleton are college women,
and their earnings are from one-fourth
to one-third greater than women without
a college education.
At Dodd, Mead's there are As very ca
pable women. Not one is a college grad
uate.
In nearly every one Of these letters,
however, the writer adds that whether
the increase OF ability and therefore Of
salary is due to college training or TO the
individual herself is difficult to ascertain.

Politician Is Expert
Bread Maker

The most successful woman politician
i'll California" "a possible candidate FOL
Governor" prize bread baker OF the
state"-all Of these are captions frequent
~ brought into use by those who attempt
word pictures of Mrs. Charles Farwell
Edison, of this city, says a Los Angeles
paper.
The most definite thing to say about
Mrs Edison is that she is the woman who
was recently appointed by Governor
Hiram Johnson as a member OF the State
Labor Commission, but when accused Of
being a successful politician Mrs. Edison
laughed and said
Mere. no. Nobody can accuse me Of
being a success. In my present Job 1 feel
that / have made a fearful start, or,
rather. that ] am so busy doing all the
things that an Office boy could do that |
can't find time to do the real work that Is
waiting for me-
Now. since she is working for the state.
Mrs. Edison plans her kitchen campaigns
outside Office hours. Sometimes the wheat
bread. tho brown bread, the rye bread
the nut bread, go into the oven at 9
o'clock in the morning. sometimes at 8
at night But always, twice week regu-
larly, Wednesdays and Saturdays, under
the hand OF Mrs. Edison, the bread goes in.
Asked, out OF her experience, to outline
and explain the characteristics and quail
fcatlons essential to the successful wom-
an politician Mrs. Edison made the fol-
lowing statement:
Perhaps It Is a special talent; anyway,
IL is something / never tried TO attain.
have never used tears. nor baby talk.
nor the frills and foibles OF feminism TO
win a point with the men politicians. If
among the politicians I have made
friends. II is due TO the fact that / have
been frank and open-minded, and have
brought into politics the same feminine
qualities that are needed in the home and
every other walk Of life"

and tx the mother of two sons and one
