Sir: Under the heading professional

Emily Cunning Barringer speaks Of her ex'
perience in a competitive examination for
admission into an unnamed hospital Some
years previous TO her effort to thus enter
this hospital, having been informed that
there was no objection TO woman being
admitted as inferno to this hospital II she

am sure she was worthy Of it and would

seems that up to date while women can
secure positions as internes in the state
and city public hospitals, the general pri'
vate hospitals are closed to them, without
any good reason offered. as is proved by
the fact that whereas the original rules
and regulations of the Woman's Hospital
in New York State called for permanent
woman resident physician, the men have
never allowed this,

One of Poverty's Humilistions.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Those who have seen the people IN
line at 30 Fifth Avenue awaiting the dis
tribution Of the clothing so generously
donated must realize that women of refine
ment out of employment, or those working

and therefore unable TO buy the necessary
clothing. could not enter the ranks OF the

donors and not be subjected to the humili-
ating rules Of organized charities?

Eloouence or Results !:

A bill has Just passed the House OF
Representatives, making it unlawful to
ship in interstate commerce the products
of mill, cannery or factory which have
been produced by the labor of children
under fourteen. Forty-three votes were
recorded against it. Among those vot-
ing in the negative were Mr.. Webb, Of
North Carolina; Mr.. Dies, of Texas; Mr..
Parker. Of New Jersey, and Mr.. Mulkey,
of Alabama. As all of them not only
voted against the suffrage bill on Jann-
airy II, but spoke against it, there is
some interest in comparing their atti-
tude on this protective legislation for
children with the sentiments which they
expressed so beautifully last month on
woman and the home.
Mr.. Webb said:
The most sacred and potential SPOT on
earth is the Preside shrine. and over this
shrine the devoted mother presdes as reign
ing sovereign.
Mr.. Dies said;
incidentally YOU (womenl can promote the
cause OF good government by not interfering
with your brothers in the discharge OF the
task which God and immemorial custom seem
TO have appointed them TO.
Mr.. Parker said:
Nor do ] think it fair 10 the women who
love and bless their homes and are fully oc-
cupied with home duties TO put new political
duties upon them.
Mr.. Mulkey said:
No man goes before me M my regard for
woman. But men at the ballot box and in
the halls OF Legislature look after her in
terests.
Not often in the course of one short
month does an unkind Fate set words
