CHILDREN'S CORNER
Mary's Japanese Garden

TTI HEN little Mary was nine years
w old, her uncle gave her a Jap
anese garden for her birthday. Maybe
you have one yourself. If you have,
you know exactly how much fun 1t is
to arrange the little figures and to
watch the horse-radish roots grow.
In Mary's garden were three figures.
A peasant. carrying a load of wheat
on his shoulder a man with a big
yellow drum who sat on the bridge,
and a very beautiful japanese lady,
Mary liked the peasant and the man
with the drum, but best of all she
liked the lovely lady. She had a bright
blue kimono gown. gay fiowered sash
and a gorgeous yellow and blue para
sol. Naturally any little girl would
like such a figure in her Japanese
garden, wouldn't you?
The horse-Fadish roots sprouted and
grew so fast, as they always do. you
know. and Mary watched them with
pleasure.
One morning, Mary's mother had to
go downtown to do some errands.
Want me to bring you anything
Mary?" asked the mother as she went
out Of the door; II would like TO
bring something to the little girl who
plays nicely while her mother Is gone"
Mary's eyes sparkled. "oh, motherl
VIII you!" she exclaimed, will you
bring me something for my Japanese
garden?"
Would you rather have that than
anything else?n asked mother
Indeed / would" replied Mary
So her mother promised, and kissed
Mary good-by, and went downtown.
Mary played just as nicely as she
could. She wanted to please her
mother for her mother was always
doing nice things to please her. And
an the time she was playing she kept
thinking Of her garden. She watched
the ornaments she already had IL il.

as being undernourished and overworked
as doing her own laundry, making many
of her clothes and as enjoying no recrea-
tion except the club meetings.
The Department of Trade Studies of
the Consumers League has investigated
conditions among bookbinders, paperbox
factory workers. telephone operators and
department store employees, and has pub

typical exchange with 10 girls Ala per

MEAGRE EARNINGS
OF WORKING GIRLS
In Big INDUSTRIES
Privations Necessary in Max
ing Weekly Wage Cover
the Absolute Cost of Liv-
ing.

Philadelphia's army Of working girls
the wage-earners-is a more fortunate
body of toilers than It's sister workers
in New York city, according to statistics
of the Department Of Trade Studies OF
the Consumers League of Eastern Penn
sylvania and the findings of the New
York State Factory Investigating Com
mission. The latter organization is in
stituting an inquiry into the wage and
living conditions among girls in New
York.
More than half Of the 1900 girl en-
ployes investigated by the commission in
New York city receive less than $3.50 a
week. A corresponding budget" COM
piled by the Consumers League, shows
tho Philadelphia girls average to be $40
a week.
In spite of this welcome 90 cents ex-
cess which the Philadelphia working girl
possesses, she, like her New York sister,
must pinch herself to live. She eats the
same 10 and 10 cent meals, walks home
to save carfare when she can, does her
own laundry and when the week Is ended
ahe has saved nothing Sometimes she
foregoeb a meal.
In many branches Of industry the Phil
adelphia girl Is in as hard straits as the
New York girl. The average weekly
wage of the paper box factory girl, ac-
cording to the figures of the Consumers
League, is $500. This list includes women
OF 20 years or more, who are paid the
comparatively high wages of $s.26 a week.
Many female bookbinders receive only 50
and SO week.

MAY HAVE BEEN
BARK CARVAJAL
NOTHING DEFINITE HEARD IN
THIS CITY ABOUT LOSS OF
THE VESSEL.

When seen yesterday by a News
reporter, b. Padrosa, to whom the
Spanish bark CarvaJAl was consigned,
said that while a German steamer had
reported, upon arrival in New York,
the sinking of barw with all hands
lost, in about the location the Carva-
jal should have been on her voyage
across, there is no certainty that it
was that vessel that met with the
mishap.
Mr.. Padrosa, however, is uneasy
over the rumor and has communicated
with relatives in Spain to ascertain
if the Carvajal has arrived, as she
may be safe in port, and Capt. Jar
dan knowing nothing Of the story of
her loss, has no reason for communi
eating with this country.
The Carvajal has made this port
many times and Capt. Jardan is not
only a close personal friend of Mr..
Padrosa, and Rosendo Torras, the
commence 4llo.g Drunswickians, and
there is general regret and deep con
Germ over the rumor of her loss.
While the Carvajal was here in Feb
ruary, Mr.. Torras visited the vessel
several times with his Spanish class,
and the young officers Of the bark,
among them the Marquis Del Prado,
in turn visited the schools, the Mar
quis showing much interest in the
American methods of education.
The Carvajal cleared from Bruins
wick on March I'd, and should be, and
may be, IN port by this time. She
is vessel of 48S tons register, car
ries a crew of 16 men all told, and
her cargo, lumber, was valued at ST.
COS.

BRUNSWICK IS
TO DECORATE
UNIQUE PLANS FOR LOCAL DEC
CREATIONS DURING citAu fAU-
II Qua WEEK.

The past years growth Of the Chau-
tauqua movement in the United States
has been little less than marvellous.
The number Of tent ChautauIuas in
this country has increased from 1900
last year to more than 1900 this sum-
mer. One thousand of these Chau-
tauquas are under Redpath mana e.
ment. There are about 800 more Red
path Chautauquas this year than last
Never before In a year has such
wide publicity been given the name
Cnautauqua in the press of the coun-
try. This in part, of course. was due
to the wide discussion Of Mr.. Bry-
ans appearances on, the Chautauqua
platform last summer.
The army OF people now employed
in all the different features of Chau-
tauqua work over the wide expanse
of the American continent also serves
to emphasize the movements impor-
lance.
This season the Redpath Chautau-
quas begin in South Carolina and move
on up Though North Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, In
diana and Michigan.

ANNUAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL MEETING
A. M. WAY TALKS INTERESTINGLY
OF CONVENTION HELD IN
MILLEDG5VILLE.

A. NJ Way and bis mother, Mrs.
w J. Way. returned Friday from Mil
ledgeyille, where on Wednesday and
Thursday they attended the annual
.Sund~y School convention, as dele
gates from the First Presbyto, ian
church OF tliis city.
When seen by News reporter yes
terday, Mr.. Way said that it was
great meeting, with over 700 dele
gates present, representing Sunday
Schools Of various denominations over
the state. demonstrating what a won
derful progress had been made in Sun
day school work since the last cen
vention held at Elberton year ago.
Regarding other features of the trip
Mr.. Way said:
The delegates we're royalty enter
tanned. and ! am sure that all OF the
yisitors left Milledgeville with the
Wy best impression. 1t was my
first trip to Mllledgeville, and one
ching that impressed ME very much
was the Georgia Normal and Indus
trial College. There are over eight
hundred girls in attendance, and over
six hundred Of whom are actual board
ers. The most unfortunate part OF
this institution Is that there are so
many girls refused attendance each
year on account Of not being able
to care for them, under the present
crowded conditions"
One incident which really touched
me was on Thursday afternoon out on
the drill grounds of the Georgia Mil
itary Academy, where an exhibition
drill was being had for the entertain
ment OF the visitors President Park
OF the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, was on the grounds, and just
before | spoke to him ! saw young
lady talking to him, and noticed that
President Park little later, he ex-
planned to me that the young lady
vas weeping because when she plead
ed with him to promise that she could
ShhCl liS SShOOi HtAl iOtplcllDtI, LH&L
he had to tell her that he did not
think 1t possible t4r
This school for young ladies Is
wonderful institution, and it does seem
a pity where young ladies wish to
tit themselves for the duties of life,
that they are deprived OF the privl-
lege on account OF the crowded condi-
ton OF the school 1t seems to me
II the state OF Georgia realized this
situation that this great state of ours
would either enlarge this institution
to take care or our girls. or else es
tablish another such school somewhere
else, where those who are eager for
entrance may be accommodated ii.
In this school Is not only taught
domestic science, but recently actual
instructions In agriculture and hortir
culture has been added, and certain
ly this is place where our young
womanhood receive education along
practical lines, which will fit them for
the duties and responsibilities OF life"
