WOMEN AS car ccNDucroRs
Later Question That Seems isoly to
cauee More Or Less Tro- lie
in England.

In London the question Of employ
ing women as street car conductors
has been put forward by one Of the
tramway companies, but the police
authorities refuse to issue to them IL
censes, saying that already they have
Issued an adequate number of IL
censes to men to fill the vacancies ow-
ing to enlistments. So many difficult
ties and complexities surround the
whole affair that there is reason to
believe that a more serious view of
the problem is taken by the police au-
thorities.
The most important obstacle to
the scheme is the opposition Of the
trade unions. $1,000"
A Scotland Yard official said the
other day that off women we're Ii
censed as conductors during the war,
they would undoubtedly remain af-
terward, and it must be remembered
that the tramways are public serv-
ice. While that fact should not de-
bar women from performing the
work, if they are capable of doing it,
there is no desire to encourage the
displacing of men and the conse-
quent trouble in the labor world. Be-
sides, it is safe to say that all the
men who have wanted to join the col
ors have been able to do so, and it
would not be fair to exercise a form
of compulsory service on men of a
certain calling by BUSTING them from
their employment"

FIND RICH ALUM DEPOSITS
oiccovery That WIli Materially ADD
70 the Wealth Of Section
Of Australia.

The Myall river in the state Of
New South Wales debouches into the
bay at Port Stephens, which is 35
miles north Of Newcastle. Upon a
recent trip up the river there was no
ticed on the wharf at landing some
six miles from Port Stephens a pile
of what appeared to be humps of mar
bic. On investigation it was found,
however, that the white stone was
alunite, and there we're about sixty
tons of it in the pile. Vessels of
moderate draft can proceed up the
Myall river as far as the landing
mentioned, but beyond that point
freight can only be carried on barges.
Thirty miles north of Port Steph-
ems is a small village called Bullah-
delah, situated close to what is known
as the Alum mountain. This noun
tain is composed entirely Of alunite,
and it is the only known deposit in
Australia.
The stone yields on an average so
per cent Of alum. According to the
statistics for the mining industry of
New South Wales, the output of al
UNI from the years 1856 to 1908 was
valued at $450,OOO and for 1908 to
the end of 1913, 100000. Since
the year 1908 about 200 tons of the
rock have been taken out annually
and shipped to England for treat
ment, where the alum is extracted
much more cheaply than is possible
here.-Consul Lucien N. Sullivan

PROUD OF HIS CITIZENSHIP
viii of John Paul Jones Showed a
Proper Appreciation of His
Adopted Country.

1t is well from time to time to give
special appreciation and honor to
heroes who have given great service
to their country. The centennial of
Commodore Perry was fifty celebrat-
ed. Another naval hero who should
be fifty remembered is John Paul
Jones, the first to raise the Stars and
Stripes on an American ship, the first
to receive a salute to American indie
pendence at Quiberon bay, three
years before Yorktown. John Paul
Jones was the founder of the Ameri-
can navy. To it he gave much of his
private property, paying sailors when
the government could not, paying
also for repairs and provisions. His
victory in the battle of the Bon
homme Richard and Scraps had
much influence in the gaining of in
dependence. After our Revolution
airy war was over he served other
countries. Titles were showered on
him and he was gratifed, but when
he made his will he wrote: 81, John
Paul Jones, an American citizen. p

may serve to fool folks who live out

state are sufficiently acquainted with
the facts to need no further outside

opposition to the educational commits

effect it might have on the schools but
to its contention that the colleges
should not have any of the state 5

In contending that Bennington coun-
ty should have a private trout fishing
club similar to that which controls
Lake Mansfield the Bennington Banner
makes the argument that such an or
ganization would benefit the fishermen
who could not afford TO belong by re-
lieving the congestion on public wa
ters. There is something in this idea:
in fact, the scheme might be further
developed into the formation of a club
that would not only have an artificial
pond of its own but wonld maintain
in connection Herewith trout hatch
cry and rearing station for the pur-
pose of stocking streams in the neigh,
borhood for the benefit of anglers who
were not members This may sound
like a Utopian idea but it is by no
means impossible. All that would be
needed III addition to the funds for
constructing and maintaining such a
preserve would be a modicum of gen
crosby on the part of those who fur
nished the money And it is safe to
say that any club that adopted such a
policy would acquire standing
among anglers that would protect its
property from molestation more effect
ually than all the barbed wire on the
European battlefelds.

From purely commercial point of view
lit is probably right that the stately pines
which border the west side Of the Putney
road Just above Crosby pond should be cut
down and sawed into lumber, but to all
who appreciate the beauty of such splendid
trees and realize what charm they add to
the landscape it seems little less than a
crime that they should he sacrificed. OF
course, new pines can be set out in their
places, but it Will be years before they
reach such majestic dimensions as those
which are now chopped down to fatten
somebody's pocketbook. 1t seems strange
that there should be SO many people who
apparently are oblivious to the beauty OF
forests Only the other day The Meddler
came across a young man busily engaged
in stripping the bark from one of group
Of white birches that border ii road in the
Retreat estate, and not the least discour-
aging feature of the incident was the ev-
dent inability of the boy TO understand
why the trees didn't look Just as well with
the bark off as on.
