WOULD HAVE


WOMEN HELP JOBEESS GIRLS
The problem of the jobless girl has
appealed to Mrs. Gertrude Howe
Britton of the Juvenile Protective As
ISOLATION. Realizing the danger to
a girl out of work she believes that
something should be done by the
clubwomen Of Chicago to aid the
girls.
She favors the free employment
bureau along the lines of the one
planned by the National Civic FEEDER
alton of New York.
"a free employment bureau for
women. would be a good thing not
only in times of stress but always"
said Mrs. Britton.
ct must be founded on an ethical
basis and not upon the worship of
the dollar.
Such a bureau would not cost
much in operation. There are many
well-educated women in the city
who would be glad to give part or all
of their time to the work gratis.
these women, too, would be the

because of business positions Of their
husbands.
eve work such a bureau for the
boys in our Juvenile Protective
League. We get jobs for the boys
who come from reformatories and aid
them in making good with a fresh
start.
1--WE find it hard Co place the right
boy in the best job for him. The
bureau will have to watch out that
they put girls only where they can
make good as efficient workers, for
an employer. will not stand for fail
ures from any bureau.

that the formation of these fractures,
some of which must be very deep and
probably parallel to the horizontal,
brought into play the elastic proper
ties of large masses of rock, thus en-
gendering the earthquake waves. The
question as to whether the rise of

sinking of the ocean bottom is or is
not appreciably noticeable will not
affect the validity of the above con-

morning Rev. Bowers suggested 1t
TO the Board OF Affairs. All Of the
members of this body are in great
sympathy with the movement, but
stated that the city had no money
with which to provide the necessary
supplies and any initiative must
come from some other source.
1t was suggested that II be taken
up with the civic league and another
suggestion was made that each
ch"rch Of the city install public
drinking fountain somewhere In the
main part OF the city.
The ministers will probably take
the matter UP with their rarions
congregations and il this is done the
action Of the church people will be
awaited with great interest by the
public, WHO suffer every day during
the hot months for the lack of these
small conveniences.
