conditions which existed in England for

Many Made Blind by Work.

In her address Mrs. Funk of Chicago
told of the efforts, only recently sue
cessful, to procure the adoption in IL
linois of a law limiting the working
hours of women. Such law, she said,
was passed twenty years ago, only to
be rejected by the supreme court of
the state as unconstitutional. The
physical results on women and children
of long hours of work were discussed
by Mrs Funk. who declared that many
of the girls and women who had worked
in the garment factories of Chicago be-
came blind by reason of bad conditions
and long hours.
Miss Winslow told of her experience as
an employe in Pennsylvania textile fac
tory, where she said she contracted tu-
berculosis. She derided the idea that
women are cared for in America more
than in other lands saying that such
talk was evidently a means of trying to
hide guilty conscience. In every case,
she said, the weak were imposed upon
by employers, and that this was espe-
cially true of women, who are unable to
band themselves into unions as easily as
do men.

NO SKATING WEATHER,
BUREAU CHIEF SAYS
Forecast of Week Is for Mild
Temperature Possibly
Rain OF Snow.

The small boys and girls and their
larger brothers and sisters who. last
week. had visions of being able to use
the skates and sleds left them by Santa
Claus, have again given up hope, and
the useless gifts once more are rele-
gated to the closets under the stairs
or turned into decorations for dens.
The reason is that the weather man
sees no indications of cold weather
the kind that brings snow and ice
not alone for this section. but for the
whole L. S A. during the week.
The weekly forecast. issued today.
hints in vague and unsatisfactory
manner at somewhat unsettled
weather for the first part of the week.
The local forecast this morning was
for snow-or rain-and warmer. And
even the somewhat unsettled weather,
according to the forecast, is to give
way to fair weather for the remainder
of the week.
Forecast of the Week.
The entire forecast for the week is
conservative and cautious. 1t reads:
There are indications that the low
pressures and rains and SHOWS west of
the Rocky mountains will be termi-
mated after -..onday, and will be fol-
lowed by rising pressure, generally fair
weather and lower interior tempera-
lures until the latter part of the week,
when another disturbance will prob
ably approach the north Pacific coast.
bringing with it another period of un-
settled weather, over the north coast
states, at least.
In the plains states and the north
west SHOWS or rains with continued high
temperature are probable by Tuesday or
Wednesday. followed by fair and colder
weather during the second half of the
week.
Unsettled in the East.
East of the Missouri river the wealth
er will be unsettled with SHOWS or rains
during much of the week. except that it
will be generally fair during Monday and
Tuesday in the great central valleys, and
Tuesday and Wednesday in the lake
region and the Atlantic states.
''Tn the south the weather will be un-
settled Monday and Tuesday with local
rains. followed by generally fair weather
during the remainder of the week.
1T will be warmer Monday over the
central portion of the country, and Tues
day in the east and south. No unusual
ly cold weather is indicated at present
for any portion of the country

OKLAHOMA OIL MEN
BRING TEST SUIT

Tulsa, OKLA, Nov. 19-Whether the
Corporation Commission of the State
has the constitutional power to en-
force its orders affecting the regula-
tion of drilling oil wells or running oil
in the pipe lines is to be tested by
suits and injunction proceedings filed
by the Silurian Oil Company and the
Quaker Oil Company. Fully 5000 men
are idle in the Oklahoma oil fields, and
rumors of impending trouble are ev-
erywhere heard. The Commissioners
have ordered the companies not to
drill new wells. In the suits filed here
the plaintiffs allege, among other
things, that the commission threatens
to impose fine of $500 day IL they
drill any new wells or sell oil under
the market price of 55 cents barrel.
This, they assert, Is depriving the
companies of their liberty and proper
ty rights, and is In violation of the
fourteenth amendment of the federal
constitution.
George A. Henshaw, chairman of
the commission, declares that the
suits will have no effect upon the
commission, and its orders with re-
gard to the oil business will be en-
forced to the letter regardless of any
court action.

When Baking Sponge Cake

There are numerous reasons why
sponge cake will rise at the sides and
fall ut the center. Here are some Of
them: Too hot an oven will cause a
very light cake to rise rapidly around
the sides and fall In the middle. An ex-
cess of sugar will make the cake fall.
A cake will drop II the cake mixture
is too light with eggs or baking pow
der, when it needs more flour. The
shock Of sIamming an oven door will
ruin the baking process, and the cake
must not be moved in the oven until
the mixture has set. II the cake Is
removed from the oven before 1t is en-
tirely done 1t will collapse.
