WOMEN VOTE ON EQUAL TERMS
LONDON CHURCHES

Women members of the Anglican
Church have been given the vote on
equal terms with men in church af-
fairs, and will also be admitted as lay
representatives on parochial church
councils, according to decision
reached at the annual meeting of the
representative church council.
The vote was .1SS to 80. Those for
the change were % bishops; 80 clergy
and 76 laity; those against: 3 bish-
ops; Is clergy and Y laity.
The Dean of Canterbury was the
most insistent opponent of the en-
franchisement of women in church
affairs. In the matter of public affairs
he was entirely of the opinion of
Pericles, "The less women said the
better
Another opening for women is to
be discussed at the International con-
gress to be held in London next year.
Leading authorities in the countries
which are to send representatives to
the congress have been asked to re-
port on the policy of the employment
of women in the services of the po-
lice and the influence on crime of the
publication of Objectionable matters
by pictures or otherwise.

A PREACHER ON BOXING

Rev. John Boulder, the London
clergyman who acted as master OF
ceremonies at the recent Wilsh-Rit
chic bout, has to say in defense of the
fistic art, and in explanation of his
own stand:
81 have always taken an interest
in boxing, and l promoted it among
my congregation down in Exeter
running boxing gymnasium. During
the winter we have matches with the
gloves at our mission hall in Isling-
ton, and | sometimes act as time
keeper. But l shouldn't like to referee
a fight. 1t is enough for me to an
nounce the combatants. / have never
had the gloves on, myself. encourage
boxing because a man who is going
to be a good boxer cannot be loose
liver or drunkard. Besides, | believe
a clergyman should mix with sports OF
his flock. Boxing teaches self-control
which is among the first of Christian
virtues. Only please do not call me a
boxing parson.'
Father Boulder makes an ideal an
nouncer because of his booming voice
The Rev. Everard Digby, who was
prevented from acting as Announces
at the Welsh-Ritchie bout by the order
of the Bishop of Stepney, appears to
have argued the matter out with his
superior, for he was permitted to of
ficiate at the more recent fight il
which Wells knocked out Colin Bell

ing the present school further east.
1t was decided to operate the school
for the coming term at its present
site.
Mr.. F. NJ. Harp, supervisor of the
Eureka school, was authorized to
have such repairs made to the build
ing as would be necessary to accom-
modate the school for the coming
term, and to send the bill to the boaro
for payment.
Mr.. Bitch reported that upon an
inquiry made about bill presented
from the Fellowship district for ta-
bles, he had found that they were for
use on the outside and not strictly
for school use. The bill was refused.
The time of p. M, having arrived,
the board proceeded to open bids as
advertised, for the construction of a
primary school building for North
Ocala, to make additions and altera-
tions in the present primary school
building, and to erect separate

Dancers to the Eve.

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical illu-
minating expert, and DR.. F. H. Yer
hoeff, au eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al
legged dangers to the eye from ultra
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects of ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any cumulative
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects" Very
little of these rays can penetrate the
cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that struggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude,
in cutting off dazzling lights and un-
due heat.

ployees and I'll make such suggestions
or recommendations for better as my
judgment dictates. But / will not do
this on a commission basis. You can
pay stipulated sum for my services,
or not at all If am going to be any
good to you, l must stand between
you and your men. If / worked on
commission basis l would be on your
side of. the fence. The greater the
saving, the greater the profit for me,
but not for you. You would not get
the highest efficiency through such an
arrangement. What you need is the
greatest econor consistent with the
greatest efficiency"
Had Plenty of Trouble.
you are right, Mr. Compton" said
Tomlinson. 81 am glad you made
that clear to me- My proposition was
wrong. l have no doubt of your hon
esty, but what I suggested was wrong
in principle. l will make an agree
ment with you for three months on
whatever basis you think is fair. II
you show in that three months that
you are capable, as 1 am inclined to
think you are, / will be disposed to
consider the matter more extern
sively."
Mr. Compton did not have an easy
time. No man has who takes cake
and pie away from gentlemen who
have been accustomed to feeding on
those delicacies. There was threat OF
a strike when the announcement was
made that he had supervision of the
building. The engineers feelings
were outraged. He scorned dictation
and almost was violent in his lam
guage about Mr. Compton.
But he was not violent when Mr..
Compton summoned him to his office.
Compton is mild voiced, but quite i'm
pressive. 1t did not take that engl-
neer two minutes to realize that there
could be no Juggling so long as Comp
ton was on the job.
The first three months showed a
saving of 5000 in the operation of that
office building. 1t did not seem much,
as Compton explained to Mr.. Toml1n'
son, but it really did not represent
the real savings, for many of the
items of supply had been contracted
for in advance on the graft rates,
There had been a reduction of nearly
200 tons of coal consumed and a
large proportionate reduction in the
use of OIL There had been a slight
increase in wages in one or two in
stances and there was a most prom

makes extravaganza and begets negli-
gence that means danger. In that
one building you are using an average
of twelve tons of coal a day. Ten
tons would be ample You are pay
ing 20 cents ton more than you
should if your purchases were at
tended to properly. You are not get
ting SO good quality of coal as you
think. You have no system whereby
your coal is tested Various of your
employees get their house supply Of
coal from your coal man. In addition,
your coal dealer pays a commission to
your engineer on every ton of coal
ordered. Don't be startled You are
not any different from every other
office building owner in. New York.
1t il to the interest Of your engineer
to burn as much coal as he possibly
can He does so. He is burning up
lot of your money.
II believe you are using about fifty
barrels of lubricating oil a year in
that one building. You are paying $40
a barrel for that OIL About one-third
of that is wasted. / should like to
guarantee to run that building with
thirty-six barrels year How much
your repair bill each year is have no
means of ascertaining, but three times
out of four the repairs could be made
by your own employees. 1t is not to
their advantage to make repairs.
you pay water bill that must be
very large. There is no effort made,
so far as I can see, to curtail the use
of water within reasonable limits.
You generate your own power and
electricity Nothing is done to keep a
check on it. You should have your
building examined exhaustively at
regular intervals. There should be a
test of the operating equipment, en-
btacing every detail of steam, cleo
trical and hydraulic machinery, ele-
vators, pipings, wiring and acces-
series. Everything purchased that
goes into the care or operation of the
building should be bought without any
possibility of graft, for where graft
enters the material or service will
not be good.
"You should have daily supervision
of the consumption of water, gas,
electricity, fuel and supplies. Your
employees should be trained to make
repairs and to do their very best for
the general upkeep of the building"
Not on Commission.
; It hurt Tomlinson to think that he
was paying for the coal that various
of his employees were burning in

TOOK SPEECH IN THE DARK
Stenographer Says Ii Was Not Diff
ficult to Follow Remarks
of "Uncle Joe."

Sometimes a man gets reputation
that is undeserved,' said Sam Gray, a
member Of the stenographic corps of
the house of representatives, at the
Willard, according to the Washington
Post. 1T happened to me few years
ago when | was travelling with former
Speaker Cannon in a political cam
paign. Uncle joe made lot of
speeches in that particular campaign,
and was there to make a stenographic
report and transcript of them. In
one western city the speaker was talk
when suddenly, without warning, the
electric lights went out, leaving the
house in total darkness.
For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the
speaker talked on in the darkness. 1t
was up to me, OF course, to make a
report of his speech, and l did. Nat
urally, l had to feel my way, and
made my notes unusually large, SO
/ would have no trouble in reading
them. When the lights were restored
and made an accurate transcript of
his speech. Some of the newspaper
boys heard of the story and published
it as marvellous feat.
The fact is, it was not at all diff
cult to follow the former speaker. He
is not a rapid talker, and l had no
trouble in taking his remarks"

employees for making repairs about
the structure.
Tomlinson studied the report for a
day or two. Then he entered into a
contract with Compton for a year
Three months after that contract was
made, when he looked over Compton's
second quarterly report which showed
saving of more than $4,000, he
turned over all six of his office build
ings to him to supervise on the same
basis as the first one.
His Business Is Immense.
No one who enters Mr.. Compton's
office today need hesitate about
breathing hard while in it for fear of
straining the walls. He occupies a
whole floor in big downtown struc-
ture.- He has scores of buildings I'M
der his charge. He has a lot of ex-
perts assisting him who watch over
these buildings as physicians watch
over patients. There is not detail
about those great structures that does
not come within the exhaustive exam
ination of these men.
Compton has come to be one of the
largest buyers in New York. His pur-
chases of coal total more than half
million tons year His purchases of
oil aggregate nearly 1000 barrels. His
buying power is so great that he is
able to contract for supplies at a
comparatively low rate. he never
has deyiated from the position he
assumed in the beginning-of stand
ing midway between the owner and
the employee. There are more con-
tent and better service with the elm
nation of graft and extravaganza.

1t hurt him, too, to think that some
of the lubricating oil for which he
was paying $40 barrel was run into
the sewer because getting rid of a
barrel of oil meant 81 more commits
sion in the engineers pocket. What
hurt him most, however, was to real
ize that with all the money he was
spending he was getting such poor
service, that his own life had been i'm
periled by the falling of that elevator.
He was a man of impulse. He liked
Compton's looks, liked the way he
talked and like the way he had pre-
scented his case.
"Ill tell you what I'll do he said.
I'll put you il charge of that build
ing and allow you % per cent of what
you save in the cost Of operation.
suppose I've got more cleaners, por-
tiers, elevator operators, engineers,
firemen, oilers, watchmen and such
than are necessary. Now If you want
to take hold of this thing you ought
to make a fair amount out of it.
Compton shook his head
You have the wrong idea, Mr..
Tomlinson. You never will get proper
service or proper economy in that
building working on that basis. There
is only one way in which you and
can do business. If you wish me to
keep that building in condition l will
engage to give it my attention and
service. / viii supervise your pur-
chases and I'll introduce a system Of
tests and reports that will safeguard
you in every respect I'll look over

girls in Berlin and the dreadful things

which the New York Evening Post
Saturday Magazines special war cor
respondent has sent over with the eX-
PLANTATION that it was all he could get
past the censor at this time. A Ber-
lin paper reports that a quiet street
in Charlottenburg was suddenly
alarmed by shrill cries of Police! Po-
lice!" A great crowd promptly col
lected about the person responsible for
the disturbance, an excited young
woman, obviously American.
Arrest this man. officer" she said
as soon as a policeman appeared. Il

between the garment workers and
their employers, particularly to the
six months strike last year. Two m
ployers. who are the president and
secretary Of the Garment Manufac-
turers' association in Philadelphia,
said these relations were amicable un-
til outside union leaders interfered
with employees and stirred up e. strike.
Both said they had no objections to
Mo if they had honest. reasonable
leaders. but until they had, they
would not care to treat with labor as
a body. Wages in their trade. they
said, are the highest in America for
the same kind OF work.
Two representatives of the workers,
one of them the head Of the local UNI
ion. gave testimony directly opposed
to this. Wages are much lower than
they were before the strike, and un-
ion garment workers arc discriminate
ed against and conditions of employ
ment are bad, they told the commits
sion.
William A.. Kelly. n Of the en-
ploycrs who testified. said that indus
trial unrest is caused by business de-
pressions and by laws passed cas- a
sop to abor." Political parties cater
too much to labor. he said. to the in
jury of the workingmen.
