Fewer Women Work in Factories Than
We Imagine.

| In the January Woman's Home Com
| panion Ida VI. Tarbell the famous Jour
nalist, writes wonderfully interesting
and valuable article entitled what
Women Are Really Doing She has
made most thorough examination OF
the 18th census and she answers with
figures many of the false and sensational
| ideas about women that are circulated.
For example she quotes a platform
speaker who claims that the family is
doomed to destruction owing to the fact
that women are dissatisfied and are GO
ing into industry. This speaker says
that there are several million young girls
in our factories and shops. Miss Tarhell
answers this claim with the following
statement of facts;
"As a matter of fact, far from there
being Several million young girls in in
dustries, there are just about eight mil
lions (s,075.722l girls and women of all
ages, from 10 to 100. employed part or
all of the time in the land, in money
earning work Of all kinds-teaching
dress making, clerking, business, domes-
tic science. Only about one fifth of these
100000 are in shops and factories and,
moreover, probably not over half of this
one fifth can be called young girls that
is, are under 81 years OF age. There are
something like III 1000 women employed
in making suits, coats. cloaks, and over
ais in the country $4,000 or one-haif
OF them, are over q years Of aye. There
are $4,000 women in our shoe factories,
and Al 900 Of them are over 81 years Of
age. There are something over l4S,000 in
cotton mills. and 1000 Of them are over
p years old. There are around 250,000
saleswomen in the country, and 10000
are over 81"

ed, for Elsie Winton was fine cook
and could make two pounds of butter
where nobody else could make more
than one pound and pint of butter
milk. But it's about Molly Bowen l
meant to be telling you-her that had
the affair with Ed Green.
AS was saying, Molly drove the
cart, and pretty soon folks began to
notice that she wasn't as punctual as
usual And as for Ed, whenever the
boarders howled for him to make a
kick about the victuals, he wasn't
anywheres in sight. The fact is, he
had got into the habit of strolling
out into the country about the time
when Molly and the cart were due,
and Molly, being only twenty-fOur,
had a soft spot in her heart which
wasn't proof against the rules and
regulations of the society.
81 don't know how Elsie Winton
heard about it, but she went right up
in the air. Elsie was -forty-three, and
her hopes had soured from being kept
too long. So there was a terrible
rumpus up at the institution, and they
talked Of eXpelling Molly; but finally
it simmered down and Elsie drove the
cart herself after that
Now you can't fight against hui
man nature, as you may have observ-
ed, and pretty soon folks began to
understand what was happening. FL
sic Winton started on her rounds at
seven in the morning, as regular as
elockwork, and she didn't get back
before ten. And about week after
she had begun to drive the cart we be-
gan to notice that all the young fell |
lows in the village had got the early |
rising habit. Ed Green, in particular,
who never used to wake up until he |
smelled the bacon frying, got up as
regular as the sun and started taking |
a country walk before breakfast. Jim |

etTy, and he said he had to be up
to salute the sun.
However, the folks around here,
who, as you may have observed, are
snoopy, couldn't help noticing that
they all used to take the road past
here that leads up toward the institu-
ton. And we guessed that some day
or other Elsie Winton would come
home unexpected and raise Cain. She
is a powerful woman with her tongue,
as you may have noticed,
I'VE got so interested that nobody
thought very much about anything
else. Bill Wise, who farms on the
ridge, told us he used to see the young
fellows gossiping with the girls over
the fence that had been put up. It
wasn't much of a fence, being COM
posed of arbor vitae, which takes
more than six weeks to amount to
anything. And. l guess the boys
weren't slow.
well, to get on, at last the flare-up
came, and in just the way we had
looked for. Elsie WintOn came back
one morning at half-past nine, and
there were Ike and Ed and Jim hob
nobbing with Winnie and Jenny and
Molly over the arbor vitae. And two
or three more of the young fellows
with the girls, too.
"And Molly, being woman, saw
that it was best to get her tongue in
first.
We're done with your old society,
Miss Winton,' she said. Ed and I are
going to be married on the first of the
month
And Jim and 1 on the fifteenth,
put in Winnie Custance, glaTing at
Elsie Winton.
''And Ike and are going to be en-
gagged as soon as he makes some
money out of his poetry continued
Jenny White.

up the lane, and Elsie Winton called

An additional few thousands was in
corporated In the budget for the pur-
chase of new readers. physiologies

The American Book Company got the

For an hour the school directors
battled over the budget, the Increase
of the tax rate the additional super

for books and supplies. The motion
to add another music teacher to the
teaching staff was referred to COM
mittee.
The word fights ended, however, in

BY Associated Press

Washington, D. c., April 4.-Inter-
est In legislation on the Senate side OF
the Capitol Jagged to-day while sena-
tors discussed the attitude of nine oi
their number who are In open re-
volt against meetings behind closed
doors except for consideration of for
eign relations. The revolt. led by
Senator LaFollette, came last night
during a heated executive session in
which the Senate by a vote of So to
27 confirmed the nomination of Win
thro NJ. Daniels as member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
With Senators LaFollette, Cummins
Kenyon, Norris, Bristow, Clapp, Jones'
Gronna and Poindexter promising to
talk publicly and freely about all do
mestic matters considered in executive
session in future, 1t was conceded that
virtually nothing could be accom-
plished by closing the Senate's doors
to the public and the press. There
was much speculation as to whether
the senators would hold to their posi-
ton, and whether an effort to- ma
terially alter the rules would result.
1t was understood that no one con-
templated an attempt to have the
senators disciplined for violating the
rules of secrecy.
Daniels Closes Contest
The confirmation of Mr.. Daniels
closed a contest that had occupied the
Senate for four days and which was
marked by one of the bitterest de-
bates ever heard in the upper house
of Congress. Opponents of contirma
ton objected to Mr.. Daniels views on
the valuation of public utility prop
erty as demonstrated in the decision
of the New Jersey Public Utility Com
mission of which he was chairman, in
the Passaic gas rate case. They claim
ed that the gas company's property
was over-valued and that a man
whose ideas led him to join in such a
decision should not be placed upon
the Interstate Commerce Commission
particularly at this time when the
commission Is beginning a valuation
Of the country's railroads.
Confirmation of Daniels, after the
notable three days Senate fight, was
followed to-day by the revelation that
Mr.. Daniels asked President Wilson
to withdraw his name and thus stop
the contest, which he believed to be
embarrassing the President, and that
Mr.. Wilson refused.
