WOMEN OF PARIS ARE
DOING MOST OF WORK

Paris.-(Correspondence OF the As
ISOLATED Press. Thirty-two per cent
Of h work formerly done in Paris by
men street sweepers, subway guards,
elevator attendants, trolley q con-
ductors and telegraph operators, is now
done by women.
Every reimbursement or administra-
tive district in Paris has a municipal
employment agency, where employers
who want help and persons who want
work register. No other agencies are
recognized by law. The employer must
pay the nominal fees. Inquiries at a
rious bureaus show that among labor
ing classes servants suffer most from
h war. Most French families reduced
the wages Of their servants the first
week OF mobilization, and many were
discharged. There are now long wait
ing list Of servants. looking for any
sert Of employment. This category in
clude many g~overnesses and private
tutors, who, owing TO the economy
campaign in French families, find
themselves out of work.
Two months ago, there were 20 per
cent more dressmakers n tailors' as
sistants out Of employment than at
present, showing that with the coming
OF spring, fashions are again receiving
some attention.
For certain branches OF office en-

boys and porters, more applications are
received from employers than can be
filed. The scarcity has led to the in
crease in wages from 5 to 10 per cent,
as youths are being continually sum-
moned to toin the colors with the new
classes. On the other hand, highly
trained employees, accountants, book
keepers, stenographers, office managers
and typists find difficulty in securing
situations, as the majority of large Of
fees have either adopted a policy of
retrenchment, or are holding open the
vacancies caused by the mobilization OF
former employees.
Hitherto 1t has been the custom for
an applicant for a position to state the
minimum salary required, also the
kind of employment desired. At pres
ent, many say that they will perform
any duty. even the most mental, and
will rely on the bounty OF their en-
ployer.

Desborough's Statement So His
LordshIp Does Il Again.

Among the peerage a fine patriotism
has been shown during the war, but no
member Of the nobility has interested
himself more In patriotic causes than
Lord D~esborough.
He Is known as one Of the most re-
markable sportsmen Of the day, but
very few people are ware that he
has swum Niagara Falls IN two sepa-
rate occasions.
After accomplishing the feat once
he was about to return to England,
and before the boat sailed was discuss

An American, who was standing by,
skeptically at last broke in with: did

amazement Of the American, he calmly
went back and swan Niagara for the
second time.

With a step that Is free Inc light:
And the griefs we feel we choose to
With taste a step hat is free and light.
We've been marching for years on
this day in the spring,
Three Of us Blue, n one Gray;
Then our youths return n our woes
we spurn,
AS we strut on Memorial day;
And gaily we frisk and our swagger
is brisk,
AS we strut on Memorial day.
For the quick step we call as we
shoulder arms
No dreary death march shall they
play

We're fresh as the four winds today;
Though our heads grow white in the
fading light,
We're fresh as the four winds today.

The north and the east, the south and

No longer ripped wide in dispute,
Can honor us best when they lay us to
rest
BY returning our Smiling salute"
So the son OF the brave may bestow
what we crave
By returning our smiling salute"

We smile at your sympathy, pity and
care;
We scott at your proffers Of aid.
We're free and we're strong, with our
strides quick and long,
We're shown you how to parade.
We're old, are we? Gosh! To show

We're shown you how to parade.

Who whispered that old age would

Each Memorial day all the morbid ones

Well brand 1t n lie when the fearful

that they long
For our old time smiles and a cheer.
From some distant Gate we know they

For our old time smiles and a cheer.
