Express Company Heads
Point Out Huge Increase
In Their Lines
By ASSOCIATED PREss.


Chicago, Dec. 24.-Officials of ex-
press companies here; pointing today
to huge increase in express business
in the last six months, drew from it
the conclusion that the country is
prosperous. Christmas business they
say has been thirty per cent more than
last year and in the last half year the
volume of express has increased so
that special trains have been run and
thousands of feet of floor space have
been added to their working quarters.
1--WE have observed since March, -
said c. W. Smith, superintendent of
the Western Express Company, "that
our business has gradually grown.
Right now we are doing from 25 to
| 80 per cent more business than we
were last year. I know the parcel
post is doing an immense business and
the people must be spending more
which is the forerunner Of prosperity.
81. c. Brooke, general agent of the
Adams Express Company said:
| "Our volume of business now is the
greatest in the history of the company
and I believe our revenue will be
higher than ever before in December,
in spite of the recent reduction order
ed in rates by the interstate commerce
commission.

MANY WOMEN EMPLOYED
ON THE ENGLISH RAILWAYS

The work of women on railways
formed the subject of an interesting
article in London newspaper recent
~.
"The Great Central" states the
writer, "is the railway company which
employs the largest amount of female
labor. At the present time they have
300 women on the staff, where be-
fore the war they only had 800. They
work as parcels porters, cloak-room
attendants, clerks, signalmen's assis-
tants, restaurant car attendants,
booking clerks, ticket collectors and
telegraphists. One of the most inter
esting points about the Great Gen.
trails plans is that they contemplate
the promotion Of women to important
administrative posts should they
prove themselves possessed of the
necessary gifts"
ON the London & Brighton Railway
Company a school has been establish
ed for training girl booking clerks,
parcels clerks and telegraphists. It
is in the charge of lady who is the
daughter of station master. Very
shortly the classes are to be extend
ed so that it win be possible to give
instruction to between 40 and so girls
at one time The majority of the pu-
pills are about II years of age, and
the officials are saying that they be-
come thoroughly efficient in six
months, less time than it used to take
lad of 16.

Industrial Changes in women's Work

'It is practically certain that not
only during the progress of the pres
emit war, but even after it, women and
girls must take a larger share than
hitherto in productive industry" says
Miss Anderson, the Principal Factory
Inspector, in the Annual Report for
1914 of the Chief Inspector of Factor
les which has just been issued.
"Their capacity for development un-
doubtedly lies rather in manipulative
skill'' continues Miss Anderson, ethan
in heavy labor of muscle and sinew,
even if the latter can be in some de-
gree increased. Thus provision of
trade training of all suitable kinds
for them will have an increasing sig
nificance for the nation. Out of whole
sale destruction of material wealth
may come not only simplified general
conditions of living, but a new per-
ception of the social value of utiliza-
ton Of the whole of our national re-
source workers, material, plant, ma
chinery and implements, and survey
Of every aspect Of the conditions of
women'sf service" ......... "And in
certain industries specially increased
by the war, of which foremost stand
ordnance and munition works, large
numbers, of girls and women have
been drawn in who never previously
worked in factory or workshop in
Guiding girls hitherto engaged in their
parents homes, mattresses, shop as
sistants, clerks and domestic SER
wants, as well as unemployed women
from miscellaneous women's indus
tries. So great has been the passing
from industry to industry that it
seems almost as if women and girls
had gone through process of "gen-
eral post"
Referring to the effect of increased
hours on the health of women work
ers, Miss Anderson says it Is evident
that, for the time, new power of re-
sistance to fatigue has shown itself
| in industrial women In a way COM

MRS GARDENER TAKES ISSUE
WITH THE CON GRESSIONAL UNION

Washington, d. c., Dec. 24.-Mrs.
Helen H. Gardener, acting chairman
of the Congressional Committee of
the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association, has issued a state
ment deploring the pretentious and
disrupting attempts of the Congress
ional Union to array the suffragists
of the country against President Will
son and the Democratic party. The
statement reads as follows:
According to press reports, the
Congressional Union has once more
more served notice that unless the
federal suffrage amendment is passed
at this session of Congress, the votes
of 100000 women will be cast
against the Democratic party. Moth
ing could be more pretentious and dis
rupting than this attempt to make ii
appear that the suffragists and wo-
men voters of the country are behind
any wholesale attack upon any poll
teal party. There is no basis in fact
for the threat, and the attempt to in
iect partisan politics into the struggle
for the vote only serves to create new
barriers and new difficulties.
"The idea of holding the Democratic
party responsible for the passage Of
the federal amendment enfranchisine
women was borrowed by Miss Alice
Paul from England, where Mrs. Pank
hurst and the militant suffragette!
have vainly endeavored to use it eff
fectively. It fits American condi
tons even less than it fitted Englisl
conditions. Suffrage for women new
err yet has become party measure il
this country. It has its adherents il
all parties and it is not essentially o
such character that whole politica
party can be penalized without doin,
fragrant injustice to many friends o
the cause in that party. Attackn,
the Democratic party, assuming tina
it were successful, would only resul
in electing members of the Republican
party, whether they were friends o
suffrage or not.
"The California Woman's Demo
cratic League has fatty refused t
accede to the request of the Congress
ional Union to turn against the Demo
cratic party. They have passe
resolutions refusing 'to lend on
names or personal influence to thi
division of equal suffrage workers
and reaffirming their adherence It
the non-partisan principles for sui
frage propaganda laid down by tn
National American Women Suffrag
Association, with DR.. Anna Howar
Shaw as its national leader, and Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait as its interna
tional president
This anti-democratic agitation o
the part of the Congressional Unto
will have no result save perhaps t
make more difficult our labors thi
winter toward passing the Susan 7
Anthony amendment, which has bee
Introduced in Congress every sessio
for the last AT years by the Nations

Inc c0fferS OF the National Amerl-
can Woman Suffrage Association are
now reaping the benefit of the buy-a-
bale-of-cotton enterprise in which the
association INDUCED last year. Checks
which are coming in for the sale of
the bales by the presidents Of south
ern suffrage associations show an in
crease in the selling price over the
buying price.
1t was during the crisis in the cot
ton market that Mrs. Stanley McCor-
mick, then the treasurer of the Nat
ional Association, sent check for $50
to the presidents of the suffrage as
sociations in thirteen southern states.
They were requested to buy one bale
of cotton and hold it during the crisis.
The money for this cotton crusade
came from fund raised to meet the
emergency which was called sPres-
ident Anna Howard Shaw Cotton Bale
Fund"
The presidents of the southern
states associations were authorized to
go into the open market and buy a
bale of cotton at ten cents pound.
In some cases the bale was left id
the warehouse but in most of The
southern states it was taken to suf-
frage headquarters and given place
of honor.
The suffragists were prepared to
stick to their investment until things
had eased up in the south and cotton
had come back to its normal figure.
Now the National Association is reap
during the past week has received
checks from Louisiana showing a gain
of $500, from Georgia gain of $1,000
and from South Carolina, $11.00. Ala
bama, Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee sold out even and the National
Association is waiting to hear from
other states.
i The letters which accompanied the
checks from the southern states suf.
frage presidents were enthusiastic il
regard to the sfbuy bale" enterprise
of the National Association. Mr.. M
IT. Coleman of South Carolina, WHIT
sent in the largest check, wrote: 81 an

tidy.
Get the cold frames ready and fill
with plants that are to be kept in
them over winter. Have all in order
for an emergency.
All the irises are beautiful and
hardy, and there are many varieties
of coloring. Fall is the time to plant
them.
Rose clumps, and clumps Of herbace-
u p%erennials should be divided this
fall, if needed, and given new posi-.
lions.
Fuchsia fulgens is a summer bloom
err, and should be taken up as cold
weather comes on, potted in small
pots, watered thoroughly, and stored
under the greenhouse bench, or in
a a cellar until March.
Tea roses do their thriftiest grow
ing during the cool, moist days of
autumn. Keep the insects down and
give good care. Mulch with dead
leaves.
Oleanders, lemons, oranges, hydran.
geas, abutilons, chrysanthemums, and
nearly all tub plants are best wintered
in the cellar. Keep growing now.

Washing Channels Gloves.

1t is remarkable how nicely channels
gloves come out if they are washed
properly with tepid water on the
hands. Use white soap and rub it on
plentifully, squeeze carefully and be
sure you rinse them SO as to get out
all the dirt. Have the last water soapy.
Take off the hands and put gently in a
dry towel. Then place on the hands
again and, as it is difficult to get them
on wet, take a piece of clean white
cloth and rub each finger on and they
will go on with surprising ease.
Mold them to the hands and arms,
remove carefully and hang them over
the fire by safety pins, rubbing them
gently as they dry SO they will not get
stiff. If washed in this way they will
be soft and pliable and as good as
new. Be sure and mend before wash
ing.

ove small, fat, bone buttons, which
are sewed to the dress. Like nearly
all the new models this dress fastens
down the front with little buttons and
loops. The pockets are machine
stitched to the dress and are practical.
The same model is made in many coll

Old-fashioned needlework, in dec
orative stitches, is an elegance which
those who know how, may add to chill
dren's dresses. Nothing is prettier or
more appropriate. Pockets are quite
the vogue and are an item of much
interest and pleasure to the small peo-
pie who possess them.

For little lads and lassies of six
years, or under, suits and dresses for
ordinary wear, are made of cotton or
linen materials, the year round. This
is in accordance with the increasing
favor for wash fabrics in all apparel,
which grows, along with the advance
In cleanliness and knowledge Of SAM
tation, throughout the country. In
the spring the young people are pro-
vided with lightweight cotton or linen
clothing, and in the fall the heavy
weaves are relied upon to furnish
suits and dresses.
This adoption Of wash dresses has
caused the numerous aprons formerly
needed to disappear from the little
girls wardrobe and has eliminated a
lot of extra work. Very thick and
heavy coats, leggings and other outer
garments are provided for the little
ones outdoor wear, but for indoors
the mother guards against having her
children too heavily clothed for COM
fort in the schoolroom or home kept
sufficiently warm.
Designs for wash dresses are only
successful when they allow easy laun-
dering. Two new and pretty models
are shown here made of heavy linen
or cotton rep, which in many

right, a dress is shown in dark blue
linen with plain collar and cuffs in
white. A full-front panel is shocked
with white thread) at each side of
the front opening. 1t fastens with
small, fiat pearl buttons and loops of
fine cord.
The dress hangs straight from the
shoulders and Is finished with a three
inch hem. The sleeves are straight
and gathered into the cuffs which turn
back. They are cut three-quarter
length.
At the left a dress in brown rep is
shown with collar, cuffs and pockets
in white linen. There is a belt which
can be detached when the dress is
