HELP IS AIMED AT THE GIRL

WHO COOKS ON A GAS JET

egg over the gas jet in a furnished

that girl in her own language about
things she understands. And we will
show her that she belongs to class
where 999 stay on as wage-earners
all their lives for every one that is
lucky enough to climb out and get
away from working for wages"
This is the way Winnie Branstetter,
secretary of the woman's commit
tee of the National Socialist Party,
explains a plan for reaching out and
getting working girls and women in
terested in using their votes to cap
ture the government for their class.
'The 5000 girls and women in the
State street department stores form a
peculiar army" she said. I'm order
to hold their jobs they must have
more than ordinary intelligence to
start with. And their work sharpens
the wits. They see people and people,
nothing but people, all day long. They
become wise in many human things
that the old-fashioned housewife new
er knew. -S,..
"They are open to our message
that all working girls belong to the
same class and only as the class goes
ahead do they as individuals go
ahead. A working girl who earns
wages to live on. is just working

of a Thompson restaurant or whether |
she sells ribbons or underwear for |

"a blind, cruel 'gamble-that's all
life is for most of them. And that's the
way they look at it. It's a lottery.
Whether a girl gets promoted or mar

"They ought to have a minimum
wage, based on what the wage VIII
buy. If the Illinois legislature, for IN
stance, should decide that every
State street store must pay each girl
and woman at least $40 week, it
should be fixed that-a committee from
an organization of the girls could
have that wage raised whenever the
prices of food and clothing went up.

THE SUNNY SIDE OF TROUBLE.

"Turn on the dark -; "Turn on the
dark" cried the feverish sick lad in
his brilliantly-lighted chamber, his head
splitting with pain. Peraaps if we were
as sensitive to the needs of our mora
and spiritual nature as this boy was
to the ailments OF his body, we too
would welcome trouble and pain as
mucl as he welcomed the dark. These
were the closing words Of Rev. Carl
H. Elliott in his sermon Sunday night in
the Presbyterian church on the second
and third verses of the first chapter OF
the Letter of James. The minister was
showing that trouble tests faith, turns
the thoughts to serious subjecs, matters
that are of permanent value, and de
velopes unknown and perhaps unsus
pected powers.

SLOWER WOULD HAVE CITY
TO NAME FIRE MARSHAL

Col. Weller K. Slower. chairman of
the finance committee Of City Council,
is preparing an ordinance to be sub
mitted to Council, in which the Office
of Fire Marshal is created, and the
duties Of that official are defined. Col.
Stover stated this morning that he
expected to have the ordinance in
shape to submit in about one week.
Col. Stover explained that the posi-
tion of fire marshal, as created in the
ordinance, will not in any way in
terfere with the duties of the chief of
the fire department. The chief will
retain all his present duties and will
be in absolute control in case of a fire
but the position of fire marshal will
be the embodiment of the old axiom.
IAN ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure" and it will be
his duty to endeavor as far as pos
sible, to prevent fires from occurring.
1t will be his duty to inspect stores.
and see ii any rubbish and fnflam-
mable material are piled up in their
Easements or other rooms, and If so
to order it removed He will also
inspect moving picture theatres and
school buildings as we'll as factories
and other buildings where numerous
people arc house. and see that
everything possible is done 10 insure
safety in case Of fire. He will also see
that fire escapes are placed on an
the school buildings and other large
buildings
In other words his work will con
sist as far as possible, in the pro
