NEW TASKS FOR WOMEN

From London, Paris, and Berlin
have come in recent months many
accounts of the employment Of
women at tasks heretofore supposed
to be sacred to the other sex. The
street cars in Berlin are managed by
women conductors, who are de-
scribed as rather preferable to the
men, because they are more careful
and their manners better. Munition-
making establishments all over the
war area are employing women by
the tens Of thousands. Women are
replacing men as operatives in all
kinds of establishments. They have
plowed, sowed, and harvested the
greater share of the big crop that
France produced the past year, and
in Italy their participation in all in-
dustry is said to be only less strik-
ing than in France.
A fashion, once set, spreads fast.
In our own country, not because of
absolute necessity, but because it is
easier now for women to take up
new tasks, the tendency to innova-
tions of this kind is marked. From
Cleveland comes the story of women
in great numbers invading various
mechanical trades. The town is a
great industrial center; some lines
Of it's activities have been swamped
with orders for their products. In
the search for competent workers
women would constantly be found
among applicants; and the expert
ence with them has been such that
they are regarded as a future fac.
tor of great Importance in the labor
market.
We are just beginning to realize
the changes that will come to this
world by reason of the war, and Of
inevitable reorganization of all kind!
of ideals. 1t will be a new sort o.
world, with a new civilization, thai
will emerge at the end.
The Washington times., 1915-12-20

do to say that The Federal laws are
inadequate to cover such atrocities.
II there is no legal definition Of
them there is the actual fact that
they destroy property, take life and
threaten the nation. Though there
is no technical statute TO aim at
them, there is physical, power to
bring down upon them If only there
is the will or capacity to exert it.
The national authority is Charge
able for the anarchy into which this
country has been thrown. Nobody
believes that such things could be
rampant or could even exist under
an Andrew Jackson, who, whatever
the Penal Code and judicial prece-
dent, would always find a way to
hit such crime with a straight and
smashing blow.

MUNICIPAL LODGING HOUSE

One civic need Of Washington
which deserves the attention of Con-
gress at the present session is new
municipal lodging house. The Com
missioners have asked an appropria-
ton for this project of $4,000, of
which only $4,000 is allowed for the
site. 1t is doubtful if that amount
will purchase site of the sort which
will give the lodging house ample
room for its buildings, and for the
necessary wood yard. Probably ne
one would be happier than the Com
missioners If those who are working
upon this plan succeeded in having
committees in either house of Con-
gress increase the amount allotted
for the site.
The only reason the present lodg-
ing house has not caused scandal
because of its crowded condition and
lack of proper facilities, is because
it has been so we'll managed that
the only criticism of it would lie ir
its utter lack of provision for the
demands made upon it. Never was
his fact better illustrated than dur
ng the period of unemployment ant
extreme cold Of the past winter.
The first consideration in plan
ming for new lodging house shoulc
be a central site with ample room fol
wood yards, and for expansion Of the
buildings, if needed. There shoulC
be accommodations for both sexes
There should be ample facilities fol
insuring cleanliness and sanitation.
Prominent members of Congress,
nave taken an interest in this prof
ect, and among the supporters of tn,
movement is Senator Lodge, VIII
long has sought an adequate institu
tion of this sort for the District.

BLAME FOR TIE PLOTS

Responsibility for the hideous
plots and conspiracies which sprang
into plain view here in this country
with the war in Europe is disavOwed
hy the German government. Yet
the conspirators swarm all over the
country, among railroads and ships,
in mills and factories, in business
houses and banks, for all we know
in private homes. They constantly
multiply their deeds of mischief and
crime. Fabulous sums are expended
on this organized program of wreck
age and murder. Who puts up all
the money for it?
Whoever directs and finances the
widely extended and incessantly &C
tive conspiracies, our irst concern
is to stamp them out. But we don't

POSTAL SAVINGS NOW
LARGEST IN HISTORY

The growth OF the postal savings sys"
tenn during the last fiscal year was the
largest in the history OF the Postofrce
Department, according to Third Assist
ant Postmaster General A. NJ. Dockery,
whose annual report was made pupilc
today.
ON June 30. the last day of the fiscal
year, there were 5gS,4 Ala deposltors who
had to their credit in postal savings
banks a total of $65, ,6S4.7O8 This was
an Increase of about l37, 900 individual
depositors and more than so, 0OO,OOO IN
deposits within the twelve months, the
report says
Although the money order division

European war. a total OF lOo,l@' ,SOS
money orders, for S7l6,9l1. .-vo.46. were
issued. The report says the domestic
money order business responded quick
ly after the first blow OF war, and
finally showed q substantial increase.
Payment of domestic money orders
at any money order office in the United
states, irrespective OF the office on
which drawn, which was inaugurated
on January l, 1914, is reported Dy Gov
ernor Dockery to have been highly ap-
proved by the public. ~
Continuing, he says: Nearly O5,OOO,WO
pieces of mail were registered, insured,
or sent collect on delivery throughout
the year, a marked increase over the
preceding year. More than Is 100000 par
cells were insured, in addition to aDouI

included insurance, gain OF 80 pei

PROVIDING ARMY OFFICERS

The plan of the War Department
to create among the high schools of
The country a junior division of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps is
really step toward conservation
rather than toward militaIism. The
Washington High School Cadets are
being employed for experimental
purposes in an effort to work out a
standard course for high school mill
tary training. The cadets here IL
lustrate just how similar groups of
boys may be utilized to their own
advantage and the Governments
GOOD.
For many years the cadets in
Washington have been drilling, week
ifter week, in the monotonous close
order formation, which has little to
10 with modern military science, and
has been pronounced by physical
culture experts detriment to many
boys who are too young to handle
VIC gun All Wis ldSll1OH III IHelT llTbL
year at high school.
Under the new plan, to be APP
phed all over the United StatAs
high school boys will be taught
craftsmanship, wall scaling, and the
essentials of field maneuvers in
weekend and summer training
camps. This will be beneficial to city
boys, especially, and it will create
4 group of young men who know the
essentials of military discipline anC
practice.
The War Department is preparing
TO ask Congress to sanction thi
plan, and to give the boys in boil
the junior divisions, from higl
schools, and the senior divisions
from colleges and universities,
recognized standing. Provision is t,
be made for letting them have tn
necessary equipment, including mu
nitions and uniforms, and to assigl
officers as military instructors.
Already $1,000 young men are un
der instruction of this sort in col
leges, and it is hoped to increas
that number to $4,000 in the college
and TO an equal number in the hig
Lools. W~-hi~~-an is fittin

As EARLY AS PossIBLRi

Counting today, there are five
days in which to buy before Christ
mas. It is too late now to ''buy
early" but there is still opportunity
to buy earlier than the last hours
and that opportunity ought to be
grasped by every Christmas shopper.
It will be to your own interest as
a shopper, for you will get better
choice from bigger and better stocks.
1t will help the people who, in the
shops, must serve you; and that de-
served consideration at a season
which is supposed to be dedicated to
a special sentiment of thoughtful
ness for others. 1t will help bust

so much as possible the grand rush

URGES FIREPROOF
EXCURSION BOATS

Legislation requiring that all excur-
sion boats carrying more than $50 pas
sengers be constructed Of strictly fire
proof material. is recommended in the
annual report OF Secretary Of Commerce
Redfield.
The Secretary would have all boatS
flreproof by January /, 1918. 1t is no
longer open to doubt, he says. that
such construction is feasible as he de-
clares the matter has long since passed
its experimental stage.
Unless the steamboat inspection force
Is increased and more funds given it,
the public may expect another East
land or General Slocum disaster the
Secretary says.
In the portion of his report devoted TO
the Eastlapd disaster. he pointed out
that many OF the causes which con-
tributed to that event still existed. Chief
Of these was he said, the inadequacy
of his inspection force.
He pointed out that one inspector, who
is charged with visiting all parts OF his
territory each year, has a distri0t in

snAvIAN ECCENTRIcITIEs

G. Bernard Shaw has been some
what in eclipse since his publica-
tions under the title of Common
sense About the War" The British
people generally didn't think his
views were sensible, and certainly
they were not common in England
or any country friendly to the al
lies cause. Mr.. Shaw always feels
under the necessity of doing the un-
usual and the startling and incident
ally of being clever about it. He
commonly succeeds at both points;
but when he tried to talk common
sense about the war, with the notion
of being smart at whatever sacri-
fee, he managed to get more smart
ness than sense into his discourse
and most people went away from the
reading more or less disgusted.
In the effort to rehabilitate him
self and make the public understand
that he is not pro-German, nor a
mere carper against everything
concerning his own country, Mr..
Shaw talked the other evening in
the interest of a movement to help
unfortunate mothers and babies. He
pleaded we'll for the babies, and
MADE an effective presentation of
the especial necessity that the babies
must be we'll cared for at a time
when the manhood of the country
is being sacrificed.
But rambling away into smartness
once more, as if to defy the notion
that he would like to be sensible
even at the awful price of being
simple, Mr.. Shaw proceeded to at
tack the leaders of British public
life. He gibed against the extrava-
gance Of the recent wedding in the
home of Premier Asquith; he as
sured his hearers that Chancellor OF
the ExcheGuer McKenna didn't know
anything whatever about politica
economy; he derided Mr.. Lloyd
George. Precisely what he coulC
have meant is not at all clear. Thus
Mr.. Lloyd George seems to have
no democratic instinct whatever. He
| is not industrious, and, though eio-
| duent, he never understands any
thing he talks about. He ought never
to be allowed to touch business Win
his finger ends.
Could a more impossible charac
terization be provided. for the maj
who has compelled Britain's aris
tocracy to swallow democracy ant
pretend to like it; who is notoriousl!
industrious to the point of constant
ly overworking himself; and who's
genius for business administratio
first provided Britain with the none,
and then organized an effective sys
tenn of spending it?
1t seems as if Shaw is merely an
purely contrary; experimenting t
learn how many people can be intiu
enced to believe the obviously IN
, true, by the mere iteration of it.
is unfortunate for Shaw, and 10
, Britain, that so brilliant a min
should be so pathetically misguide
: in a time when there is need fo

ma;ting the tariff on, automobiles In
tensely unpopular.
There has been a good deal Of talk
about resuscitated European Industries
try after the war. In this matter Of
automobiles. It is quite likely that the
tables will be turned: American manu-
facturers. highly stimulated by war
demand. will need to keep the foreign
market. and II they fight for it they will
have q magnificent chance to dominate
the world in this. line.
Figures of the Department Of Com
merce show that exports of motor cars
continue to gain month by month. In
October last 1895 commercial cars valued
at A.307, 900. were exported; also 3,479
so-called pleasure cars. valued at $2.74S,-
600: and parts. not including engines
and tires. valued at $1.Sl9.0OO. This is a
little more than three times the amount
: of business in the same month a year
ago: and that month marked the big be-
ginning of the foreign demand inspired
by the war.
For the first nine months Of this
year, Americans exported 1885 CONNER
cisl cars. valued at So. 600: 1856
/ pleasure cars valued at 900: and
parts valued at 900. Total, $s4.-
! $4,000. This compares with s96. .096,OOO in
the same period of 1914; and again it is
to be noted that this 1914 record was
! IN large part caused by the war
Italy May Buy Heavily.
Both before and since the war began
| Great Britain has been the best cus-
| toner for American cars. In fact. dur
| ing 1915 1t has taken almost exactly one
| third. in value. of all cars exported. Its
/ purchases were .455 cars. worth $751;
$4,000. France in the same period-the
\ first nine months-bought 5.1S3 machines.
valued at $l303S, 900. Italy bought 210
cars. valued at $134901. II Is understood
that the Italian market is just now
government is in need of a great in
crease in it's motor service. and the
i United States is the one place to buy

| went to Russia. and there is a reason
TO believe that. Russia will lead the
world as a market for our cars in the
next few years. 1t has almost no motor
industry OF its own. and is learning
I about the peculiar adaptability OF
the high mower and cheap car, built
j for a country in which roads are moi
good.
Advantage May Be Permanent.
} This is. indeed. the great advantage Of
American cars everywhere outside oi
western EuroDe. Americas bad road!
have developed a tyne of car that othel
manufacturing countries don't need
because they have real roads. This II
believed to be the only case in which
the possession of a complete outfit Of
very bad roads has turned to the com
mercial advantage of a country!
South America. Asia. Oceanica, anC
most of the world. have increased thei
/ purchases of American cars in the las
year. and the introduction is likely Il

for Europe has less and less capacit!
either TO make or to export cars. Their
