BRITISH BARNA|DS ARE ~T0OOLD AT THIRTY
Mrs. Bernard Drake Gives Brief
 Description Of Their Unhappy Lot.

London, May s.-"Too old at thirty is the unhappy lot of the Isr. tish barrnaid described in a re- port by Mrs. Bernard Drake of an duiry made by the Women's Indus trial Council.
 i Barmaids are British institution. sEeIy few m.n are found behind the 1bars in the saloons throughout the Limited Kingdom, except proprietors. ETkere arc 22,O0O barmaids in Eng slaffd alone. Frequent crusades have 5een started with the purpose of elim- fjuating women, and particularly girls, from this vocation but nothing last ing has been accomplished Ore #ree son is that the saloon is the work ingman's club, and he prefers those places where he can gossip with thu: 8girls. On the whole the influence Of barmaids is to raise the atmo- sphere of saloons, but the influence of the saloons upon the women is considered bad.
 Streets Only Course.
 ''The barn;aid soon grows old,'' rays the report. Sometimes she is old at 25 she is generally too old at thirty Her chances of marriage are small unless she marries the bar iIsan or the manager and almost the only recourse left to her is the streets The number of women on the Lon don streets who have once been bar maids is out of all proportion to the rumbers in the trade.
 Mrs. Drake writes sympatheticall3

of the women behind the bars. She says:
 ~ "The bar1riaid is cheaper than the barman She is more industrious, more sober, more amenable to the wishes of her employer, less rebel liOus against the hard conditions of public house life.
 There are women women of fine character who earn in the bar a de- cent and respectable living. and are net unhappy. There is even a wom- 'a1 of robust health and tempera- r'' mt, who finds in the public-house q certain vocation. The bar is tD other women immediate ruin.
 Fears for Future.
 But all these are exceptions. The Larmaid who is Of the majority, al- tn; ugh she loses nothing of self-re- sl ect, yet continues at her post only in weariness and loathing, and with great fear in her heart of that WI ich the future is to bring''
 Wages for barmaids are no more than domestic servants command in the United States and the average working day is fourteen hours, In houses patronized by workingmen the average pay is $2.50 to $3 a week; in hotels it may rise to $3.5O, and for a head barnnaid to $4.5O or even $5, Foard and lodging are always fur nished, but the girls are expected to dress we'll.
 The barna.d, according to Mrs. Drake, belongs to the type of nor nal and average working girl, indus trious, sober and honest, although she is to be distinguished from her sistsrs by greater measure of the leve of youth for adventure. She seldom adop.s the career as the rs- suit of false step. The working man seldom loses his respect for the barmaid as woman worker; it is re- served for the man about town to be without all sense of honor or chiv- airy to women. Young and pretty girls are deliberately chosen for the West End saloons which are the re- sorts of absolute men and fallen W ,men, because the inexperienced girls attract the men. They are

 Two Great Evils.
 Two great evils of the present sa = loon system are pointed out by the report. One. is the long hours af- te ting the health of both men and women and leading to excessive drink ing. The other is the exploitation of young girls which is responsible for their degradation. One. reform proposed is that no girl under the age of 21 shall be employed after eight o'clock, except on the premises oI her parent, and another is that the bar shall be more fit place for both men and women

such an attempt might spoil the ar tistic harmony of the whole, gained through centuries of wind, weather and changing tastes. Instances of such unsuccessful attempts have re- gently been seen at Florence and Milan where new facades have been added recently to the old cathedrals. They were greeted by derision by the citizens who described them as sugar decorations on a wedding cake.

Provision is made for the inter.
change between governments of laws
and regulations relating to safety of
life at sea and for the imposition by
each government of penalties in case
of neglect to comply with the provi-
sions of the convention.
Capps' System Adopted.
Among the proposals accepted by the
conference was Rear Admiral Wash
1ngton L. Caps system of making
ships, so far as practicable, unsuitable.
The American naval officers plan d.
7ides a ship into side and crosswise
compartments, each of them being wa
ter tight. Thus, if. as the result of
collision, either end or either side of
ship is smashed in. the water cannot
go beyond the particular compartment
penetrated.
Admiral Caps was member of the
American delegation. Senator J. Ham
ilton Lewis Of Illinois was another
member of the delegation and was call
ed upon by Lord Mersey to speak in
behalf Of the United States, following
the adoption of the sea safety treaty.
He said that the measure agreed to
opens an era of Cancellation between
kp,o
old and If followed bids farewell to
the antagonisms of nations and the en-
mites of peoples.

of these subjects and of the exchange
of information.
Lord Mersey said it was important
to show that even after the most care
full attention had been given to all
practicable details and designs for the
increase of the safety Of ship there
still remained the possibility of Sc
rious and even totally destructive &C
cident 1t was therefore imperative
that captains should never relax their
vigilance on the supposition that any
vessel was unsuitable.
On the contrary. they should strive
to add to the safety provided by the
vessel itself that very increase in safe
ty which results from prudent and
skillful management and navigation.
Rules as to Wireless.
The convention provides that all mer-
chant vessels when engaged in inter-
national or colonial voyages. whether
steam or sailing vessels and whether
transporting passengers or not. must
be equipped with wireless telegraphy
if they have on board fifty persons or
more, except where that number is in
creased owing to causes beyond the
masters control.
The contract states. however, nave
the discretion to make suitable exemp-
tons in certain cases, the most impOr-
tant of which is in connection with
vessels which in the course of their
voyage do hot go more than $50 miles
from the nearest land. ...
The American wireless systems have
| all been agreed to. The main feature
of this system is that it gives the con-
troll of the apparatus and the supervi-
sion over the operations Of the en-
| ployees to the American government.
notwithstanding the nationality Of the
ships. whenever they are coming into
or departing from American waters.
| A continuous watch for wireless pur-
| poses must be kept on all vessels fitted
with wireless telegraphy as soon rs the
| government or state to which the YES
sci belongs is satisfied that such a
watch is useful for purposes of saving
life at sea. r-.& ...12 5.~s +
In the meantime the following yes
