Women of France Work
For PIP Cents an Hour

PARIS. April 24.-Some extraordi-
nary statements regarding sweatshop
wages In this country were brought
out in the senate in the debate on a
bill to fix a minimum living wage
throughout France by boards created
by the government.
Jean Morel said that between 100000
and 100000 women in France are
now enduring insupportable servitude
and receiving wages hardly sufficient
to maintain life.
Morel, Henry Cheron and Edouard
Heriot submitted details on the sub
Ject. 1t was said that 81 per cent Of
the workers at home on household
linen goods make from 81 cents to 4
cents an hour by intense industry.
In some provincial Centers pay for
such work is l cent an hour.
In Paris IA per cent of the women
working on undergarments make a
maximum of $40 yearly. Artificial
flower makers. employing much taste
and manual deXterity, are able to
make in the best season from 80 cents
to 81 a day, but more than so per cent
never are able to get beyond 80 or 40
cents.
In the provinces women working on
underwear and ready-made clothing
are able to make only 10 to l2 cents a
day in most cases, and rarely as much
as 20 cents.
The bill passed its first reading In
the senate. 1t had already passed the
chamber in 1911

CARRANzA TRAIN TO
CARRY WILSON ENVOY
West Leaves Mexico City for
Vera Cruz Under Safeguard
of ConStitutionalist.

Duval West, President Wilson's spo-
cial envoy to Mexico, will be taken To-
day from Mexico City to Vera Cruz on
a special train provided by General Car
rama, according to an announcement
made by Secretary of state bryan. Mr..
West will come direct to Washington
from Vera Cruz to reoort to the Presi-
dent on the results OF his first-hand OH
servation Of the latest developments In
the Mexican situation.
Mr. Bryan announced that General
Calranza had aSrecu t. send up spo-
cial train from Vera Cruz to Mexico
City to get Mr.. West and that that the the
Mexico City end of the line had agreed
to place no difficulties In the way. The
traip will take mail from the seaport to
the capital. and bring out any return
mail. Mr.. Bryan was unable to say
avail themselves of the opportunity to
leave the capital OH the train, the irst
to run between the two cities In months.
He referred to a report received by him
week ago from the Brazilian Minis
ter at Mexico City stating that the for
eigners who had wished to leave were
content to remain until railroad COM
inunication was resumed northward to
the border.
Policy Change Presaged.
1t is believed here that Mr.. Vests re-
port may cause a change in policy on
the part Of the Administration toward
the Mexican situation. The recent re-
verses Of General villa have. for the
time being. eliminated him as a main
Carranza's right hand general. looms up
as a rival himself. Carranza bids fadr
to hold undisputed sway.
In this event, 1t will be up to Presi-
dent Wilson to determine whether to
weight of influence possessed by this
country toward q reconstruction Of Mex
lean affairs and it is probable that he
would be guided largely by what Mr..
West. after his personal conferences
with Carranza. would have to report
concerning the Carranza program
villa agents in Washington. however.
are far from conceding that Villa has
been eliminated. They stated this morn
ing that he is at present concentrating
a force Of 10000 men at Aguas Calien-
ties, and will shortly come back" with
., crushing defeat of Obregon. -hey
claim that Zapata. Villas ally, is at
present holding the territory west Of
Pachuca. thirty miles northeast of Mex
leo City. with about 10000 men.
Basis of Recognition.
Obregon continues his northward
march. and is reported in State Depart
ment advices to have captured Guadala-
lara, 100 miles southwest of Aguas
Calientes.
All factions in Mexico have been given
thoroughly to understand on what basis
the United States will accord rerogni-
ton to any new government In this
respect Mr.. West, who has personally
interviewed each of the leaders, is be-
lieved to have served notice that the
Washington authorities are firmly of the
opinion that the only government that
hone "a -
ganized under a pledge for the immedi-
ate enactment Of the agrarian reforms.
Mr.. West has also been instructed to
make it plain that the United States
is being looked to by the other powers
to take the initiative on the question Of
recognition.

new STORES DRAW
CROWDS OF BUYERS
Large Floral Horseshoe With
"Good Luck" on 1t Presented
by Employees.

Two new stores We're added this week
to the chain Of the Old Dutch Markets.
One Is at 72S Seventh street. and the
other at 1440-42 street.
Both stores attracted large crowds yes
terday and today. All fixtures are in
imma culat te white. In observance of the
opening floral decorations were shown.
At the Seventh street market a large
floral horseshoe with good luck" on
it. was presented by the employees of the
store
The delicatessen department is a fea
ture Of both markets. All provisions
for this are prepared on the premises
by French chefs. One Of the chief
store was the lunch counter. where a
French chef is In charge. -.
At the street market there are hf-
teen clerks. Two large entrances af-
electric lighted scales are used. so that
the customer may see that he Is getting
honest weight. On the west side are
the groceries. butter, and eggs. on the
east. fish. and in the center. the deli
catessen counter.
All meats are kept under glass. and
cold air currents, as shown by the
frosted glass. are run through these
compartments. Each store has a large
cold storage refrigerator.
At the P street store yesterday ready
made soups and spaghetti were given
away. At the Seventh street store
ladies' dining room, on the second floor,
will be opened later. The success OF
the lunch counter there already justifes
that prospect.
A feature of both stores was the at
tractive way in which food was dis
played Homemade pies, cakes. and
bread are used. Special provision Is
made to keep all sorts of food In the
most sanitary condition.

manifested itself In the form of bleeding
hemorrhoids and later developed into
tumors as large as hens egg. Then he
would be unable to work after some unu-

or lying down. His trouble caused q great
deal OF itching. burning and pain. He lost
. great deal Of sleep. The affected parts
were irritated and infiamed very much.
1T was during one of bis severe attacks
that suggested to him the use Of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. He found much relief
from the itching and burning by bathing tho
affected parts with warm water and Cuti-
cura Soap. After that he would apply tho
Cuticura Ointment. The first application
relieved him considerably and after three
applications he was able to go to work. He
