Present Discrimination.

PHILADELPHIA. February .6-The
passage of a law regulating the hours
and working conditions of cooks nurse
maids and other domestic servants, in
addition to the woman workers now pro-
tected by legislation was advocated at
a meeting of the state industrial COM
mission here yesterday. John Price

ton. declared that 1t is inconsistent for
the law to protect the girl in the factory
and permit the domestic to be worked
to death
James Maurer president; of the State
Federation of Labor said that it would
be better for girl to work twenty
hours a day i'll factory than ten hours
in some households with a nagging mis-
tress and children getting on her
nerves
Mrs. r. r. Bradford a social worker
denied that girls are worked to death in
homes and contended that the domestic

the year than the factory worker who
receives twice as much money.

BERRY ADMITS HE COULD
HAVE AVERTED COLLISION
Nantucket's Captain Acknowledges
Error of Judgment, But Also
Blames Monroe.

PHILADELPHIA. February 26.-Capt
oswyn Berry of the steamship Nantucket
admitted on the witness stand yesterday
in his trial on charges of negligence in
causing the collision with the steamer
Monroe that if he had stopped his ship
when he first heard the Monroc's whistle
the disaster. which cost forty-one lives
he was stopped and that | could easily
pass him. Capt. Berry said.
Under cross-eNamination the captain
further admitted that his judgment was
in error when he guessed he could see a
mile ahead in the fog. He said he did
not see the loom of the Monroe's light
until they were within an eighth or a
quarter mile of the Nantucket.
Capt Berry contended in his testimony
that the Monroe was out OF her course.
He said he maintained speed of about
twelve and a half knots through the fog
after he heard the Monroe's whistle, up
to within a minute of the collision.
Charles E. Hillyer, first mate of the
Nantucket, testified that. in his opinion.
the careless navigation of the Monroe by
the officer in charge was the cause of the
collision and added that .'she was right
across our bow going full speed and out
Of her course too"
Two other members of the Nantucket
crew, the quartermaster, who was at the
wheel, and the lookout. corroborated the
story of Capt. Berry as to how the COLI
lision occurred.

Injury Must Be Shown.

IN the same way the court has just
held. in the bleached flour case. that the
addition of poisonous and deleterious in
gradients is not prohibited unless it is
specifically shown that the addition was
poisonous and deleterious in a particular
case. and added with 4 knowledge and
intent that it should be SO.
The officials of the department would
not discuss the decision, pointing out
that it would be indeiicate and iniproper
for them TO do so. They did not even
admit a knowledge that Senator La Fol
lette had sent for a copy of the decision
with intent to introduce an amendment
TO the pure food law in the Senate. This,
however was the case.
1t was not officially stated whether or
not the department would ask for a new
trial of the case. which hangs over from
Secretary Wilson's administration. He
held. after long investigation, that
bleached flour was injurious and pro-
hibited its interstate shipment. The max
ers of the bleaching machinery fought
the ease desperately. 1t was tried in
the Missouri district court. went to the
appellate court of the eighth district and
thence to the Supreme Court.

MOVEMENT TO ABOLISH

ing various bills for prohibiting the in

diers to civil jurisdiction.
\ majority of the committee. composed
of conservatives. elericals and liberals,

The Introduction of the bills wa
brought about by the recent violent en-
counters between the military and civilian
authorities at Zabern. Alsace. The gov

New Trial Thought Unlikely.

In view of this decision there Will be
little use in holding new trial, it is
said though the department has about {,
month in which to decide whether it will
make the request.
In case Congress passes an amend
ment to the pure food law changing the
wording on which the Supreme Court
based its decision. new case and new
indictment will have to be made out and
the thing will have to go the rounds of
the courts for years more before deci-
sion is reached.
In the -four hearing held at the de-
partment more than two years ago sew
eral bakers and flour manufacturers tes-
titled that they did not want to use
bleached flour, but We're forced to do so
by the makers of bleaching machinery
and the falsely educated taste of the
public.
The process subjects the flour to the
fumes of nitric acid and makes it very
slight shade winter than ordinary flour.
The department held that this treat
ment made the flour injurious.

This case has been vibrating around

is regarded fully as important to the

GIVE THE CLERKS A CHANCE,

Early shopping has been urged by
pulpit and press until it is having
it's effect and now the matter of the
closing of all stores on Christmas Eve
is being urged, in fact in many of the
cities all department stores will be
closed at seven. In Valley City it is
altogether likely that all stores will
be closed, but it will be much easier
for the merchants to do so if those
who have shopping to do will do so
early. There is absolutely no excuse
for waiting until the last moment to
do the buying and so help out the
Christmas spirit by making early pur-
chases, for after all what is Christmas
but season of making others happy.

and if we are to judge by the number

of editors who are annexing Rev. to
their name We must be convinced that
the pulpit and press are really joining
forces. One of the latest is Editor
Fyles Of the Minor Teller who is
scheduled to preach at Forbes and
other points. Well in any event lit
tie mixing will not injure the editors
and We might be so bold as to suggest
that it might also improve some pull
pits to put real editor into them.

MAINTAINING A GENTLEMAN At.

Sometimes when a lone man is
vending his way peacefully homeward
thinking Of piping hot dinner await
ing him and is rudely pushed from the
sidewalk into the street by a bevy of
girls, he is good man indeed
if the question of whether or
not our state institutions should
not have a department devoted
exclusively to sidewalk and street Ell
quette for the benefit of the coming
educators, does not enteer her mind.
Most men would prefer to be gentle
men at all times but is is a trying
ordeal to be compelled to leave a
seven foot sidewalk in order not to
intefere with the passage of a wedge
of thoughtless and extremely careless
to say the least, girls. Perhaps, how.
ever, the men ought not to object to
the back to the soil movement"

THE FACTS ABOUT DIVORCE.

Ida NJ. Tarbell, the well known jour-
nalist, contributes to the January
Woman's Home Companion an article
entitled What Women Are Really Do
ing"-an article in which she answers
with facts and figures some disturbing
questions as to the status of women in
the United States today. Miss Tarbell
has made a careful study of the Thir-
teenth Census in order to get at the
truth in regard to marriage, divorce,
child bearing and other subjects. After
proving that more women marry now
than did formerly she takes up the sub
ject of divorce as follows:
There has been an increase in d.
vorce. In the thirty million married
women whom the census takers of 191
reported they found 1906 who had
been divorced. Considering the diff
culties of married life, the number
does not appall. 1t rather gives one a
greater respect for human beings to
see that they can handle such a COM
plicated relation with such a small per
centage of disaster. There is no other
human relation that can show any
thing like so large statistical proof
Of success. The number of divorces
found in 1910 is greater, proportionate
ly, than the census takers unearthed
In 1900, still larger than they found in
1890. In each Of these ten-year per-
iods there has been an increase Of one
tenth OF one per cent. 1t is doubtful
if this be due to loss Of faith in mar
,riage. A proportion of it is due to 6
higher ideal Of marriage, an unwilling
ness to see the relation prostituted b,
a absolute, cruel, or unfaithful part
ner.
"A percentage is due, too, to tn,
greater carelessness with which mar
riages are made under our changin,
social practices. We have removed
largely from boys and girls the pro
tective social devices by which we on
ice guided their relations and choic
They go and come freely and, as Nigh
be expected, marry with less sense O

MORE ABOUT TWILIGHT SLEEP.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion appears an article entitled us
the Twilight Sleep Safe for Me-" The
article is authoritative, having been
read and approved by one of New
York's well-known obstetrical special
lists. Following is an extract:
I'm the cases of the very young, the
comparatively old, the debilitated, and
those suffering from serious diseases,
like kidney disease, this treatment is
emphatically inadvisable. Doctor
Gauss, reports that. at Freiburg, only
20 per cent Of the applicants are &C.
copied for the treatment. OF this 70
per cent, 80 per cent of the cases re-
spond satisfactorily, giving a result of
Sc per cent successes. In the hospitals
in this country now using the treat
ment the cases are so carefully select.
