Mountain Boundary Between Italy

That forbidding, dizzy. fort-strewn

the peaks and passes of the south
Tyrolese Alps. is pictured in it's won
derful scenic splendors and in its
strategic exclusiveness by Florence

the writer's report upon two carefree
summers spent in exploring this from
tier country, as. in the threatening re-
lations now existing between Vienna
and Rome. its delightful area may soon
become a region of terror. the theater
of the most costly mountain fighting
of history, with each hill mound OF
destruction and each valley death
trap.
For years both Austria and Italy
have been keenly exertfns themselves
to see which could fortify its side OF
the border the best At great expense.
and as secretly as possible. this work
has been pushed along through the
years of peace. until today either de-

the first time IN history that ship
of the survey has been given an official
place in such feet, the operations of

that almost every navigator of a war
ship has constantly before him maps

survey.
We are glad that the survey is being
given recognition. for We want the
public and Congress to realize that
there is nothing so scientific in the
work of the survey that it cannot be
explained to both the public and Con-
Sress. We are glad that the active
assistance we have been able to rem
der the navy in years past is at last to
have formal public recognition

JEFFERSON lily.
Facts and figures dealing with girls
and women following gainful occupa-
lions in Missouri at the beginning of
1915, advance information from the
1915 Red Book has been given out
by Commissioner John t. Fitzpatrick
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
1t is estimated that on January 1,
1915, there we're 1,3S5,723 women and
girls more than 10 years old in Mis-
souri,, and of these 232,720 either were
following professional pursuits, own
ed businesses or were on salaries or
wages.
A state law prohibits boys or girls
under IA years old from being en-
ployed anywhere, and provides that
those between IA and 16 years old can
work only under certain conditions.
1t is plain that the vast majority of
the working girls included in the sta
tistics are more than 16 years old.
That the majority of women and
girls in Missouri who are forced to
earn a living are still following pur-
suits given over to their sex is shown
by the fact that SS,735 were either in
domestic or personal service.
OF this numer 42,664 were house
hold servants, averaging IL hours a
day of toll and earning from $12 to
$35 a month and room and board. The
lot of the average domestic in this
state has frightened considerably in
the last 10 years. Wages have in
creased, better home comforts have
been provided, daily hours shortened
and privileges granted to such an ex-
tent that many women are leaving
factories for housework.

Test Rate a Year.

Officials and attorneys for the
Southwestern Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company appeared before the
public service commission and agreed
to reduce their proposed schedule Of
rates in compliance with the commits
sion's suggestions for test period Of
one year, If the commission would
suspend final judgment on their appli-
cation until they had been given time
TO demonstrate that the commission
had erred in ordering reduction Of
the first revised schedule filed by the
company.
The new schedule which the COM
pany offers to put into effect, carries
a reduction in the annual rental of
single line unlimited service tele-
phones from 1920 to $1O8. It also
provides for increased service to the
small consumers for the same money.
The rate now in force single line I'M
limited service is $7S. The commits
mission holds that the present rate
is too low to yield fair return, but
that the proposed rate of 1920 was
too high.

did Major. After becoming governor
Hadley gave three OF his assistants

Hadley first appointed Kennish insu-

and later on made him insurance COM
missioner. To Rush Lake fell the Of
fee of coal oil inspector, while to N.

Now Governor Major, after making
Revelle insurance commissioner, has
appointed him to the supreme bench.
Largely through his Influence Blair
was appointed to the supreme court
commission, and by the assistance Of
