only a day or two ago We had n call
for quite q number of girls from a
well equipped. reliable factory. There
wasn't a factory worker in the office
that morning. but the side on which
the Office help and applicants for pro-
fessional positions sit was pretty we'll
filed up,
MY assistant in charge OF that
branch of the department came over
and stated just exactly what the posi-
tons were, in what factory and the
wages paid, and asked IL any girl or
woman would like to try such work.
Not one Of them answered, There
were fully twenty-five girls in the
group, waiting for Office work. but
not one willing TO go into a factory.
There was "a time when factory
conditions were such that the work
really was not desirable. Not only
were the hours long, but the condi-
lions under which tho ome had
TO work were Objectionable. IL not
actually unhealthful. Such a state Of
affairs no longer exists. That is un-
less in n few exceptional cases where
the factory owners have managed to
outwit the factory inspectors. Not
only are the factories in which the
work is done more sanitary and COM
Portable but the hours are shorter.
In some of the newer factory build
ipgs the wall space is about 90 per
cen glass, so there car be no doubt
about there being plenty OF light for
the workers.
"In the case OF unskilled girls the
factory wage Is much better than that
paid for clerks. Because Of the idea
that factory girls are all u~neducated
the large majority OF our girls on
leaving school turn to clerical work,
or what Is known as the business
field. OF course, with the lettering OF
conditions and the shortening OF the
hours the factory girl OF to-day Is OF
a higher class than formerly. look
forward to the time when college

another reason for the ovcrsupply
Of stenographers and business girls IL
the large number of business schools.
Just take New York city. There must
be hundreds of business schools. BE-
fore n girl gets out OF the grammar
grade Inf the public schools she Is pur-
sued by one or more Of these schools
Offering her special inducements to
take their business course.
ITO offset this pressure TO get the
girl, just at the moment when she is
debating In what fed to specialize,
there Is only one trade school. That
IL the Manhattan Trade School fol
Girls, and 1t Is so overcrowded tina,
it has a long waiting list, Why some
practical business mar or woman has
not seen the opening for . trade school
seems to me really remarkable. II

URGES CHANGES IN JUDICIARY SYSTEM Judge John w. Inzer Ap- pears Before Judiciary
 Committee

Montgomery March 12.-(Special)
 Judge John w. Inzer of Ashville. St.
 Clair county. the only living member of the Alabama secession convention of 1861. and prominent in the state for many years
 as judge, practcing attorney and cit izen. appeared before the recess judiciary committee today and offered various sug- gestions relative to needed changes in the judicial system of the state. Judge Inzer although well past 80 years of age, is still engaged in the active prac- tice of his profession. and is apparently
 as hale and hearty as a man 20 years younger. The members of the committee | accorded Judge Inzer close and respectful attention while he was before them, and asked him numerous questions regarding | the Judiciary system generally. The veteran judge expressed the belief | that s36OO was sufficient salary to be paid | any circuit judge and that he should be | required to work at least 10 or il months I in the year. He said 5000 was enough
 salary for a solicitor, and that the duties
 of that official should be enlarged | Another suggestion made by Judge h. | ger was that the circuits should be en- 1 larged. and that it might be well to place I the circuits under the supervision of two 1 judges, with one solicitor. He thought
 the two circuit judges should be able to attend to all duties required of chancel-
 Iors and law and equity judges. He ad-
 vocated the abolition of separate chan
 cery courts, and recommended that the
 circuit courts have equity and chancery dockets.
 l In concluding his talk before the com
 mittee Judge Inzer reminded them that
 they had weighty responsibility upon
 their shoulders. stating that the eyes of the state were upon them. He advised
 that they do nothing to increase public salaries.
 Judge Thomas c. Mcclellan, associate judge of the supreme court. appeared be- | fore the committee, at their request, and
 offered suggestions relative to changes in court procedure. Judge Mcclellan has
 made a careful study of judicial reform
 for several years, and Is probabl.- more conversant with the subject than any man in Alabama.
 The committee requested Judge McClel-
 Ian to submit his suggestions in writ l ing.
 1 Another prominent member of the bar of the state who appeared before the
 committee was Thomas E. Knight of Greensboro. MT. Knight said he wished
 to compile some information and data | for the committee relating to court con- ditions in his county, which he would present to the committee at some future 1 meeting.
 l The committee spent considerable time
 today reading communications from prom | inent attorneys of the state relating to law reform Altogether, the committee
 has received probably a hundred letters on the subject, and they treat of every phase of the legal profession.

Telling The Truth
 About It
By William Allison Gray .

"I see by the papers," said the Big Fellow, that wine is stronger than beer, and whiskey is stronger than either. Which may be all right, so far as 1t goes. but it doesn't go far enough. nor in the right direction"
 Meaning which?" inquired the Little Pal.
 Meaning that the chap who wrote that doesn't know what he's saying-if he's referring to the drinks of Today"

 Most assuredly," declared the Big Fellow, as one speaking with authority.
 "You wouldn't mind explaining, would your" requested Little Pal, and, at the same time, if not too much trouble, giving me your val uable views on why black is all ways so much winter than white"
 That touch of sarcasm shows you belong to the large and mis- taken class who think wines and beers are lighter and more wholesome stimulant than whis- key, though there is a larger and constantly growing class who know to the contrary"
 q listen with interest" said Little Pal.
 'Tn the first place." explained the Big Fellow, when a man or ders whiskey he modifies its strength to suit his taste; if he takes highball, charged water reduces the strength of his whis- key to below the relative alcoholic strength of an average glass of beer.
 And, furthermore. continued the Big Fellow, you realize that neither wine nor beer, does he modify to suit his taste, but con- sumes as served to him.
 "One ounce of whiskey Is the usual drink, three ounces of wine is the usual drink and 12 ounces of beer Is the usual drinlN Let's do little sum in arithmetic and see which is actually the strong estT" and. taking a pencil. the Big Fellow roughly sketohed this diagram on the back of an en- velope.
