WOmanS Invasion
of Work Filed

There is no doubt that in certain
lines of work women are invaluable.
Perhaps there will come q time when
they will prove as good workers as
men in every line. The sex has had to
fight masculine opposition and preju
dice from the beginning. it was but
natural, | presume, that men should
resent enCroaChment on their domain,
but 1t has done much toward raising
the standard of work. for competition
works in labor as it does in capital
sharpens the facilities and stimulates
workers to their best endeavor.
Women were first tolerated In gov
ernment offices at Washington in
1852. The place was assailed by six
women, who won their positions
through the assistance of the secretary
Of the treasury. But they drew but half
the salary paid to men for the same
work, as the belief prevailed that two
women were required to do the work
of one man. But one day an amazing
fact was discovered-a woman in the
dead letter office actually opened and
returned twice as many letters as any
man had recorded.
She set a pace that kept the men
busy-busier than they had ever
dreamed of being-but best OF all was
the elimination OF all discrimination
of sex on the payroll. The story ought
to be a spur to feminine work In all
departments Of life. There Is no rea-
son why girls should not be taught to
be thorough. painstaking and exact
In all matters, as boys are, for many
girls must face the world and force
1t to give them a living. The quality
OF that living will always depend upon
the qualification of the person earn
ing 1t.

women complain Of the treatment

The Carranza authorities have been

The United States government, it is
said. had been advised of the CarranZa
plans, although it was said at the State
Department that the question of recog-

The American government has unoffi-
cially indicated to the various factions
in Mexico the general principles which
would guide it in considering the ques-
tion. 1t has been said that there would
be no recognition until Mexico had been
internally pacified by complete military
domination by one faction or a peace
