Tells at Morning Meeting at Rausch-

in D. c. Charities.

The first of the series of lenten talks
under the auspices of the Associated
Charities was held at Rauscher's this
morning at II o'clock. These talks
will be given each Thursday morning
during Lent at the same hour.
The general topic being considered is
Social Service and the Family At
the meeting this morning Mrs. Archi-

ans department, National Civic Fed
Grafton, presided.
Walter S. Cfford. general secretary
of the Associated Charities. gave the
Introductory talk of the series by dis
cussing What We Mean by Family
Rehabilitation" Mr.. Unord explained
that all social service work counts the
family as the unit upon which So

the sense of family responsibility Is
sure to weaken the social structure.

Sole Purpose of Family Diagnosis.

The sole purpose of family diagnosis.
or so-called investigation. is to deter
mine, the speaker said, the cause of
family misfortune and the standards OF
the family when at its best. No family
rehabilitation can be counted successful
which does not restore the family to
economic independence and enable it to
maintain for itself a respectable stand
ard OF living.
The discussion of the paper was
opened by Miss Dorothy NJ. Muller,
head worker of the Noel House Social
settlement. Miss Muller spoke of her
neighborhood work and explained how
the settlement endeavors to strengthen
family ties and to provide opportuni-
ties for the development of the boys

FOREIGN BORN LIVE
LESS WAGE SCALE

THE cost OF living for the foreign
born family is less than that Of
Americans, because their standards
are lower" writes Frederick j. Has
kin, while discussing the question;
What Can a Family Live On?"
"The fact that out of an income
of 500 or $500 the foreigner is able
to make a small saving does not af-
feet the real inadequacy of his wages.
The saving is. made by the sacrifice
'of decent living conditions for his
family"
Editor 'Scharrenburg of the Coast
Seamen's Journal has this to say of
the safety first rules on vessels, now
enforced by the Canadian govern
ment:
while. the American dollar pat
riots have roared and howled about
the unreasonable safety requirements
of the new seamen's law, the govern
ment of the Dominion of Canada has
quietly but effectively established
some safety first rules for Canadian
vessels.
AT any rate, Canadian newspapers
are referring to the new regulations
as the death blow for the steamer
excursion business and this ought to
be quite sufficient to indicate that
the new. Canadian requirements must

CRIMINALS MADE BY
JA1LS, HOLDS AUTHOR

''The Real Jail Problem is the
subject of a booklet published by the
Juvenile Protective association inS an
effort to save victims of the laws
delay. It is stated that about $500
persons are annually sent to the
county Jail and only about 1900 are
found guilty.
What Of those who have become
jailbirds and suffered the penalty, or
Imprisonment because they were too
poor to provide bonds? It is stated
that $4,000 persons are committed to
the house of correction. every year,
and that the vast majority of them
are there not because they have been
found guilty of deserving a house OF
correction sentence, but because they
were too poor to pay the small fines
assessed against them.
Discussing this subject, the booklet
shows: -.
I'm 1913, 81 per cent; in 1912, 81
per cent +; in 1911 and 1910, about Sc
per cent of all. the prisoners in the
house of correction had been COM
mitted solely for the non-payment of
fines. It is scarcely. necessary 70
point out that ultimately these fines
are paid not only by the men and
their families in suffering and priva-
ton, but also by the taxpayers who
support the institution"
To correct these evils, it Is recon-
mended that:
Persons accused Of crime should
be placed on probation when unable
to secure bonds. :.
"A different Jail should be used for
persons awaiting trial than the one
for persons sentenced.
"A county Jail should be a. place of
detention only for the few persons
who cannot safely be released pend
ing trial.
"A sentenced prisoner should be
given an opportunity to work out
doors and a: chance for improve
ment." .'.>.'

WALL STREETS NEW
ANTI-SUFFRAGE LOGIC

In its opposition to women's sun
rage, the Wall Street Journal has dis
proved the claim that there. is nothing
new under the sum-" Other OPP
ponents Of this theory, who have
claimed that "women's place is the
home have long since been ailenced
by the fact that thousands OF wmen
are forced to labor in factories and
workshops at less than living wage.
But the Wall Street Journal takes
anew tack. It first asks the, ques-
ton: do women really want equal
ity?" Then, before any one else can
reply, the editor AYERS:
There is not 4 broker in Wall
street who does not dread women
customers. They do not want equal
treatment. They want all the men
get and an extra concession for sex.
They are the worst losers in the world,
and they seem incapable Of gratitude
when, they win" ~ -

MANY POISON DANGERS
TO RUBBER WORKERS

Rubber manufacture Involves the
use of numerous poisonous sub
stances, says a report ON this ques-
ton. issued by the United States de-
partment Of labor. The dangerous
nature Of some of the compounds
used:in the ru bier industry is not as
yet commonly known, so that cases Of
industrial poisoning may occur with
out being recognized as such and
ascribed to their true cause. Trade
secrets make it impossible to investi-
gate this industry thoroughly, but
enough is known, says the report, to
make 1t possible to equip and manage
a rubber factory so that exposure to
the various industrial poisons will be
reduced to an Insignificant minimum
or wholly eliminated. Relatively little,
however, seems to have been done in
this direction.

men and Enginemen, indicates, how
ever, that the time is ripe for the APP
plication of the theory that those who
enjoy benefits should pay for them. .
A magazine correspondent imbued
with the nonunion shop fallacy, pro-
tested against the views of another
correspondent who supported the
union shop theory. The former pre-
sented the weN-known views Of anti
unionists and insisted that the broth
erhood should not "dictate' to nom
brotherhood men or try to take from
them what "rightfully belongs" to
them. This claim is answered by
Editor McNamee of the Magazine in
the following straightforward
shoulder manner:
LAS an expression of the honest
views of its author the foregoing
letter is entitled to space in the maga-
zine, but the imperative need of rail-
road labor today is the closed shop

name working conditions and a
square deal in the matter of bearing
the burden OF the cost of protection
! depends on the institution of these
reforms, and the sooner they can be
established the better will it be for
the railroad workers. AS to keeping
the nom brotherhood fireman from
what 'rishtfully belongs to him, At
should be borne in mind that he
would not have either the wages or
the seniority rights he enjoys but for
the brotherhood, and that he is SIM

this stage of developments, when
complete organization is so requisite
