will be realized, and with it we lead the world, just as we led it by the device of 'central fire"-that is, having the heavy guns over the keel instead of at the sides-a device that new European battleships have copied. The application of electricity has already proved to be a success in the results obtained with the electric collier Jupiter which was the first electrically operated ship. In the Cali fornia there will be no directly con- nected turbines The power will be trans mitted to the four screw propelers through slow-speed motors which will re- 1ieve much of the strain on the crank shaft. The electric power installation will consist of two separate plants, each furnishing power for two screws. If de- sirable the ship can be. operated on one generator.

 To recent decisions of the United States supreme court upholdinG the validity of the California eight-hour law for women lay welcome stress upon the freedom and the wide discre- tionary powers of the. legislature to enact such legislation.
 Here was a law for women which went further than any other 'n the United States, prescribing the shortest workday yet enacted including in it's scope a larger number of occupations than any similar statute. Here were cases involving employments never be- fore considered by the supreme court of the United States in relation to women's hours of labor. In hotels and hospitals.
 Both decisions were unanimous, Jus tice Hughes writing the opinions. In both the responsibility for deciding the need, the expediency, or wisdom of
 the law is with emphasis held 10 be the function and duty of the lcgisla- ture the court limits itself to consider ing whether in view of the underlying facts in each case the legislature has acted arbitrarily or unreasonably. Facts Instead of Theories
 Thus the decisions rest on facts, not theories or abstractions. "Practical ex- igencies "experience," the nature of the work" the nature of the bus-
 ness"-these are the words and these
 the concrete considerations which re- cur in the courts clear and concise opinions.
 In the first case in question, the proprietor of the Glenwood hotel al Riverside was convicted of employing woman more than eight hours in one day, in violation of the California act of 1911, which included women em- ployes in hotels, as well as in factories stores and other industrial occupa- tions
 In 1913 the law was amended to iii- clude also women employees of hos pitals, excepting graduate nurses. The trustees of the Samuel Merritt hos pital at Alameda and one of their em ployes sought, in two other test cases to restrain the inforcement of his amended act.
 The two familiar objections were raised as to freedom of contract ano equal protection of the law. It was asserted that the eight hour law de prived wonien employed in hotels ane hospitals of their liberty to work any

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
BY 7. N. Carver,

Sy .. IN. SdTVcT,
Professor OF Economics. Harvard University
Every city has its chamber Of com
merce or its Board of Trade. The
purpose OF such an organization Is
to study economic and business op'
porturities Of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city. Does any one know OF a
good and sufficient reason why eT'
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations. They are generally
called the "landwirthschaftsrath" or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem of rural organization
are strongly Of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet.
tering Of rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example,, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capt
tai so as to increase the production
and the profit Of their farms. If all
the leading farmers Of neighbor'
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than If they work secretly,
as separate individuals.
