EIGHT MILLION WOMEN WORKERS

 In the January Woman's Home Com panion. Secretary of Labor Wilson in de- scribing the new federal employment bu- reau. says:
 To-day there are, in round numbers, about 40.0O0,000 persons 10 years of age and over engaged in ssainful occupations in the United States. Of these about s. 0O0.000 are women.
 Upon the constant employment of these millions there depends the we'll being of the average family in this coun- try. The wage earner is, in four cases out of five, a man, because statistics show that about every fifth salaried indi- vidual is a woman. As the average man has one or more women depending upon him for a more or less long time, it is obvious that the question of the perma- hence of his employment is as vital to the fair sex as that of the average working woman.
 When woman loses her job the eco homie loss may affect her alone; when man loses his job the loss will be apt to reach others beside himself, because the average American family. according to the latest census, consists of five per sonsn

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger h AvING none of the pathos of Francis Thompson, sort of -A 4 heavenly vagabond in modern English letters, nor any of the pes- simism of Masefield, nor the polemicaI bitterness of Watson, nor the barrel organ felicity of Moves, and wholly out of conceit of the free verse" people, either of hls own or of the Eliza bethan period, Stephen Phillips, who is dead at the early age of AT, did a notable thing for English verse when he essayed to return to the artistic drama. For in his five plays in the sheerest of sound form-"Paolo and Francesca "Herod,' Ulysses, "The Sin of David" (David and Bathsheba) and 'Nero"-he revealed himself as the great tragic poet of his generation, winning a popular success, too, in cer- tain of his dramas to an extent that hardly seemed possible considering the state of the stage in our own imme- diate time.
 While his first notable drama in NciSo, coiO uiu TldHCcSSd, WHICH III many ways was his best written in 1900, was not his first appearance as a successful poet, since his first con- siderable collection of poems printed in 1897 gained prize of $500 as the book of the year." it was this fine drama of the unforgetable lovers that gave him a sort of international repu- tation. Moreover, "Paolo' and the subsequent plays were written and produced on the stage in response to an agitation for return to the poetic

PREPARE MEN FOR PEACE AS
WELL AS FOR WAR, ADVISES
ASSISTANT LABOR SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. II.
IAN army that will prepare for
peace as well as for war.
An army that will develop civic
as well as military spirit.
An army that will turn out,
after their period of enlistment,
msn fitted not only to give eff
efsnt service IL called to their
eountry's defense, but prepared to
step at once into the ranks of
skilled wage earners-prepared
70 take an active part in develop
ing the nations industries in
peace no less than in protecting
them In time of war.
such an army-if we must
hsve an increased army for de-
fense-is proposed by Louis f.
Post, assistant secretary of labor.
The present period of enlist
mont in the United States army is
four years. Secretary of War
Garrison. by tests made with in
tantry. cavalry and artillery, has
found that proficient soldier
can be developed in one year of
training" says Post.
This means, then, that SO far
as progress goes, the average SOL
der Is simply marking time dur
Ing the last three years of his
service.
Most men enlist for military
service between the ages of IS and
-. After four years in the army
they are-so far as earning a
living outside the service is con-
Enthusiastically where they
started. Those who wish to enter
civil life must start Just where
they left off four years before.

purposes, Is to give an opportun-

BOSTON'S BUSINESS

Nearly Everybody Forsakes Of.

Series Returns.

BOSTON. Oct. s.-Business in many
places in this city paused yesterday
while Thousands learned Of the progress
Of the opening world series game in
Philly. The Red Sox's defeat was re-
ceived calmly. the crowds having lost
much Of their enthusiasm as opportunity
after opportunity for a Boston score
passed without profit. Only In the eighth
inning. when the Red Sox's run was
made. did the throngs applaud for more
than moment.
Although Shores wildness. which
made Philadelphia runs in the eighth
inning possible, was a disa ppointmen:
some OF the bulletin board crowds saw
ray OF hope In the fact that the Red
Sox had hit Alexander so we'll. well
get him yet and get him good" one en-
thusiAst remarked. He was without a
hat. apparently a clerk. slipped away
from an office. In a moment he was
the center OF a circle OF discushion. in
which a professional looking man with
a green bag, an office boy, also hatless,
and q clergyman Joined. with the COM
mon interest that makes brothers OF
fans"
Arrangements for pIay-by-play re-
elaborate ever made in this city. At
Braves Field. where the local end OF
the series will be played: at Fenway
Park. and at four auditoriums several
thousand persons paid admission fees
to follow the details of the play. Count
less other thousands thronged the
spaces in front OF half a dozen news
paper offices. where by mechanical de-
vices. by megaphones. or by posted
bulletins they were kept In touch with
the events at Phillies' park. Streets
were impa ssable in many places and
stores were forced to stop business as
a result OF these crowds. To answer
the telephone Inquiries most Of tho
newspapers had installed special switch
boards and these were swamped with
calls.
Admirers OF the Red Sox had little
difficulty in getting all their bets COW
cred. Most of the Boston sporting men
are betting 10 to that the Red Sox
will win the series.
On today's game there was very little
Red Sox money In sight, as most OF
the betting fans picked Alexander as a
winner. Word came to Boston tonight
from Philadelphia that few large bets
have been placed on tomorrow's game
by the Boston enthusiasts In the Quak-
er city.
