FRENCH GIRLS NEED
NOT HAVE DOTS

Paris, Aug. 10.-Letter to the
Freeman-Tribune from Henry Wood,
United Press Correspondent: The
war promises to end in France what
has constituted in the past the great
est obstacle to general marriage
namely the "dot' that is expected
of every girl who wants a husband.
So deeply is this custom implanted
in French life that any girl whose
parents are not able to provide her
with .dot" has such small chance
of affecting marriage as to render
it unworthy of either consideration
or hope. French women who have
come from families of modest means,
often have declared that the necessity
imposed on them from the earliest
moments of childhood to save every
penny in the hope of acquiring a
dot" by the time they reach mar
riagable age really robbed them of
all that goes to make up girlhood in
the real sense of the word. While
it is generally conceded that this
necessity of having "dot" has made
the French woman the most efficient
and economic home manager in the
world and also relieves her of Slave
DOM" yet it has generally restricted
marriage in France. 1t has entailed
also the disadvantage of limiting
every girls choice to that particular
class in the social and intellectual
scale to which her "dot" Will admit
her. Since the beginning of the
present war, an active propaganda
has been carried on in France to put
marriages on the American and Eng
lish bases-a basis purely of love on
which the husband also assumes the
full responsibility of providing for
his wife and children. Were the
hopes of these people to establish
"dotless" marriages in France based
ganda, they probably would not sue
coed. A mother who consented to
her sons marriage to girl of mod
est dot has just withdrawn her
consent saying: "My boy has since
won the Cross of the Legion of Hon
or and the Croix de Guerre and he.

HARDING TALKS N
TOWN Of CLINTON

Clinton, Sept. An a labor Day
speech here today w. L. Harding,
republican candidate for governor of
Iowa, stated his position in favor of
labor unions, the hour day, work.
mems compensation, better housing
conditions and technical education.
Absence of any reference to the
campaign in which he is engaged
featured his address. He treated the
history of organized labor in Iowa
and in closing, urged labor to go
forth and conquer the world"
Urging cooperation between CAPT
tai and labor and the move that
prompts organization, he continued.
there will be little occasion for
quarrels.
"The man or organization of men
which sides against organized labor
is fighting the fundamental human
right and instinct"
Dubuque saw the first labor union
in Iowa, in 1854, according to Hard
ing. After the decline of the old
knights of Labor, trade unions
flourished, he said, and the Iowa
State Federation of Labor was estab-
lished in 1898.
Harding approved labor's policy
of keeping a lobby at the legislature,
citing many good laws the labor lob
by obtained in recent years.
Discussing the S-hour day, Hard
ing said:
at was organized labor that first
learned and put into expression the
thought that if the laborer was to
be in position to do a good days
work, he should not be required to
work more than eight hours. The
contest between labor and capital on
this subject has been bitterly fought.
The victory is on the side of humani-
ty."
Declaring that laws alone were of
no avail unless enforced and that or
ganization was the way to enforce
them, Harding declared: "The
workers cannot be saved. They
must save themselves. The easiest
law to enforce is the law that is
We pay very little at
tention to habit and custom but at
tempt to write everything into sta
tutes."
The use of public schools as Soc
ial centers and the hiring and paying
Of teachers for one year instead of
nine months were among the steps
advocated in his speech. He
also said, speaking of modern educa-
tional systems:
"TOo much stress has been laid on
professional education and not
enough on the common school educa-
ton. ! am satisfied that il we
take care of the SO per cent, and give
them not only opportunity to go to
school but furnish them school
that is adapted to the needs and con-
ditions of the times in which they
live, the two per cent will take care
Of themselves"
Harding favored workmen's COM
persatfon by fixed standard for
injuries. He declared that the pub
lie must pay for the cost of indus
trial accidents. He also spoke
strongly in favor of compensation
for occupational diseases.
His stand for better housing con-
iitions in Iowa cities was based on
! plea for more sunshine and fresh
air for coming generations.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Senator
Reed introduced resolution in the

morrow will be spent by the senate

Washington, d. c., Sept. 4.-The
Adamson eight-hour day bill, passed
by congress last week to avert the
nationwide strike among railroad
men, ordered for today, was signed
by President Wilson yesterday in his
private car at the Union station,
where he stopped on his way from
floods across the sea; an American
ism based upon service for the COM
mon good and equality of opportuni-
ty for all" A large crowd was
present for the presentation celebra-
ton.
Shadow Lawn, N. j., to Hodgenville,
Ky. That there may be no ques-
ton as to the legality of the meas
ure as a result of its being signed
on Sunday, the president will affix
his signature again on his return to
Washington next Tuesday.
How long peace shall reign as
result of the bill is dependent upon
developments in the proposed test
of the constitutionality of the act.
Should the railroads take no action,
but await the beginning OF an in
vestigation of the workings Of the
eight-hour day by the special COM
for which the measure pro-
yides, the brotherhoods will remain
inactive.
The employees leaders declare,
however, that should the law be held
unconstitutional. and the railroads
attempt to restore the ten-hour day
on their lines, strike will follow
promptly.
None of the brotherhood leaders
witnessed the signing of the bill.
They had expected, according to ten
tative arrangements made by Secre-
tary Wilson last night, to be pres
ent, but the president decided to at
tend to the business at the railroad
station. The four pens used by the
president in signing the bill--one
for each syllable of his name-will
be presented to the four brother
hood heads, A. B. Garretson, w. G.
Lee, w. S. Carter and w. A. Stone,
after being used for re-signing the
bill Tuesday.
