chapter, namely, the future Of the
American girl.
A False Conception of Values.
"Civilizaton has brought to the
woman this false conception Of her
own value in the world. She has grown
to believe that a woman's duty is not
to work, but simply to exist until such
time as she can find some one who will
work for her and support her parasitic
existence
Miss Morgan condemns the employer
for his lack Of interest in the woman's
welfare. She also maintains that the
colleges do not give the girls proper
home-making training.
This is what employers say Of their
women help: "The average girl who

: on department stores. In Oregon wage
rates have been fixed by the State In
dustrial Welfare Commission for stores
in the city of Portland, where the min
imum for women of eighteen years or
older is fixed at 50 % a week. In the
same city SO 81 is the minimum wage
for factories, and somewhat lower
rate for cities smaller than Portland,
where the cost of living is less.
"In the State of Washington the wage
rate fixed by the commission is $40 a
week for adults in stores. and SO 25 in
factories. In Massachusetts, the law
requires the commission 20 take into
consideration the financial condition Of
the industry.
THE Pacific Coast people, however,
do not care to encourage parasite in
dustries unable to maintain women and
minors in health and decency. The
Oregon minimum wage law is now be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the United
States awaiting a decision as to its
constitutionslity. The oral argument
was heard by the Supreme Court on
December II, and decision is expected
any day. The oral argument, by the
way, was presented by Louis D. Bran
deis, with the Attorney General Of
Oregon"
There are, however, many opponents
to the minimum wage law for women.
Organized labor is strong in its denun-
citation of such legislation. and the pro-
prietors of large industrial and COM
mercal organizations are against II.

comes to US for a position is totally
uneducated; her years of school life
have failed to teach her the mere rudi-
ments of business career"
No Real Home-Msking in College
Courses.
Miss Morgan says this Of the college
training Of women in homo economies:
"Home-msking as q vocation Is never
planned for in any womsn's college.
We may find excellent classes in home
economics and scientific dietetics that
no husband would indorse, but never
profound course of study based on the
differences between the feminine and
the masculine minds and character,
rather than their equality"
From the training of the girl Of the
privileged class the author comes down
to the salesgirl in the department
store.
During her years Of service she has
rarely looked forward beyond the next
pay day; never for a moment has she
planned to develop her capacity for seiz-
ing any opportunity for advancement
that may occur. Her belief is that OF
the fatalist-to her everything Is based
on the doctrine of luck. Based on her
own experience, her initiative is killed
by fear, the ever present dread Of los
ing her job"
Miss Morgan's Plea.
Miss Morgan makes a forcible APP
peal:
"Give the American girl an incentive.
Give her the chance, by training. of
earning better wages, and the result
will be immediate. Cultivate her quail
tiles and study where and how to place
them"
In conclusion she wri.es:
"This is the problem of the future:
To create a system of commercial and
industrial training which shall first
change the girls attitude to her own
life, and then to the occupation in
which she is engaged"

sumers' League for the last twenty-five
years has been patiently pointing ou'
that all discussion of that kind merely
confuses the issue. It is fundamental
! ~ immoral for any employer to pay
any employe wages insufficient to main
tain that employe in health and de-
cency.
at is because we found so large q
number of employers who continued to
do this that we brought TO this country
in 1908 the agitation for state minimum
wage commissions. We brought this
idea from the international Conference
Of Consumers Leagues, held in Geneva
Switzerland, in September, 1908. In
March, 1910, at the annual meeting OF
the National Consumers League, we
put this legislation in our ten-year
programme.
"Since 1910 commissions have been
established snd are making wage rates
in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon,
Nebraska, Washington, California, Col
orado and Wisconsin, and state COM
missions Of inquiry have been created
in Illinois, Michigan, New York, lndi-
ana. Nebraska and Connecticut.
Need for Legislation Greatest in New
York.
ave believe there is greater need for
this legislation in New York than in
any other state, because there are more
industries, more employees and more
underpaid young workers in New York
than in any other state. We are unan-
imously in favor Of passing the Fac

cred shrines of Europe. Miss Morgan
directs the longing eyes Of the girl Of
the new world to her own surround
ings.
"The American girl who seeks to
avoid the inevitable conflict by looking
to European sanctuary is, indeed, de-
ceived. She longs for the finish and
beauty of the old order, and, in looking
far afeld to what past generations
have accomplished, she fails to realize
that it lies in her own hands to bring
that same beauty into her own sur
roundings. A finer idealism and
greater courage will cause her to face
the conflict at home"
Discipline and Order Necessary.
In outlining an education for the
American girl the author condemns the
methods Of some advanced teachers
who discard all conclu ions of previous
generations and allow the girl to fol.
low the expressions of her own mood
and interests. discipline and order

The Facts Underlying Fiction.

The writer believes, however, that
indisputable facts underlie the fictional
ones. To quote:
"The American girl al her individ-
ual influence in Europe can no longer
be questioned, in view of the fact that
there is hardly a capital where she
does not appear either as the present
holder Of a name with wide response
bilities or as the mother of a son who
in himself must combine the hereditary
traditions Of the Eastern with the hot
pulses and quick action of the Western
civilization. This International
ism Of the American girl is far in ex-
cess of that of any other nationality"

the better thought of the day and will
insist on being In touch with its
tangible form. She will seek, else
where and often unwisely, that which
she demands, and the result Is more
than often disastrous"
In touching on suffrage Miss Morgan
maintains tina. It Is duty rather than
right. She writes: "If every girl in
the length and breadth of the land
could thoroughly prepare herself with
an intelligent and sympathetic knowl
edge Of how these public services
should be run, the next generation

responsibility, she writes: THE girl
Of the future will have too fine a self
respect to fail to recognize the rights

"Her recreation" is another factor
which the author takes up in detail.
Change of Scene Most Effective Recre-
alton.
"The girl who goes from the coun-
try to the city for her inspiration and
her recreation learns better to under
stand the wonderful things that man
has produced throughout the centuries.
The city girl, finding herself in the in
tense stiffness of the country, utterly
aloof from the fotsam and jetsam of ,
her daily environment, is able for the
first time to look within her own soul {
and to seek to understand the inner
meaning Of life ITSELF" Then, again,
from a broader standpoint:

try still need is a freer association with {
other women whose standards, social, {
intellectual and moral, are higher than I

Morgan writes, "is more ashamed Of
her sins OF omission than her sins Of
commission. For the girl who Is
working for economic, intellectual or
artistic independence can achieve re-
suits only il she has also acquired
the habit Of steady and thorough work.
Our girl must look upon herself as a
link in the chain of life"
The home, instead of helping in the
development of the girl, is often a
hindrance, the author maintains.

that the country would have gone to

to cotton as their main sheet anchor

The war of the future viii be the
war OF the inventor. even more than II
Is today. Science, mechanics and eIee-
ltricity have, as we all know, revofu
Itfonized modern warfare to a terrible
degree. Talk to men who remember
1.-THE Crlmean war and they will tell
you that the present conflict Is no,
war; 1t Is wholesale murder, fearful
horrible and inhuman. The wars Of the
future, however, II the scientist Is to be
believed will be even more destructive.
AT present he Is experimenting with
heat rays. II, he contends, light rays
can be thrown upon hostile position
with the searehlights why cannot heat
rays be similarly reflected; and II heat
rays can be sent to distance, why no,
the hottest rays posslble--namely,
those of the oxy-acetylene torch? Be-
fore such fiery glare fortress of
steel and stone would melt, the biggest
guns would crumble down into pools
of steel, and whole regiments Of men
might, with one blast. be shriveled into
ashes.
Neither do scientists consider 1t out
side the bounds of possibility In the
future to devise means of decorating
explosives at a distance by wirless
waves. The latter at present scatter
In every direction, but the day may
come when it will be practical to re-
strict them to only one direction so
that they may be aimed; and 1t is not
too far-fetehed to predict that some
future general, touching a bottom will
send speeding to their target. which

sion, wireless impulses so powerful
that they will electrocute every man
within their range.
In regard to big guns, experts say
that the limit Is by no means reached
with the manufacture Of 17-lnch firing
monsters. They prophesy 60-inch and
even S0-inch guns, which will be able
to shoot sixty of eighty miles, the
range being given by aviators signal

Again, plans are already under way
for the construction of monster sub

While copper exports VIII fall far

more than counterbalanced by the fact
that both spelter and lead will estab-

There was shipped during the nine

The big demand for American lead
