APPEALS FOR WOMEN
WHO WORK ODD DAYS
Charity Society Asks Pay While
House Is Closed for Summer.

In a bulletin issued Yesterday the
Charity Organization Society urges
housewives who employ women at days
work to increase their wages or con-
tinue their pay while the house is
closed for the summer.
Scores Of women in New York City,"
says the bulletin, "are dreading the
approach of the summer vacation pc
Rod. They are the women who either
support their families or supplement
the earnings of their husbands, inca
pacitated for regular employment, by
doing days work from one 10 four
DAYS a week. The usual wage is Sl.5O
a day and carfare.
Certain women are obliged 10 seek
assistance from the society every sum-
mer A few employers have begun 10
try TO correct this condition. In one
instance a number of households have
Joined together TO keep the women on
part pay during the three summer
months"
The bulletin makes the point that
bousekeepers expect the women TO
come back TO them in the fall, and that,
therefore. these women are continu-
ously employed, though without wages
during the summer

strated in Colonel's Blow
at the Hyphens.

Taking for his topic "a Good Man.
tho Rev. DR.. Robert Watson, pastor of
the Scotch Presbyterian Church,
Central Park West and Ninety-sixth
Street, last night paid stirring tributes
to Colonel Roosevelt and Mayor Nit
chel. He spoke of them as men who, in
the pursuit Of good, feared no evil.
DR.. Watson characterized Colonel
Roosevelt's st. Louis speech condemn
ing the hyphen as "a striking example
Of courage" and likewise catalogued
Mayor MitchePs stand against certain
of his co-religionists"
eve can forgive much in any man."
said Dr. Watson, provided he shows US
he is both sincere and courageous. We
have had in the last few days a strik-
ing illustration Of superb courage on
the part of Mayor Mitchell in his stand
against certain of his co-religionists.
Like every other religious organiza-
ton, the Roman Catholic Church finds
among it's members men who are false
to their high calling and who play the
part of Judas for personal gain. No
Church, however, needs TO fear for its
future when it has in its communion
men who refuse TO be silent and let
evil prosper
THE City Of New York and the Ro-
man Catholic Church are both to be
congratulated, the former in its Mayor
and the latter in its member.
I'VE have also seen a striking ex-
ample of courage in the st. Louis
speech of Mr.. Roosevelt, recently de-
liverea against the hyphenated Ameri-
cans.
"Men ask why and how Mr.. Roose-
welt is able to come back so success
fully into the thought and confidence
of the American people. Study the St
Louis speech, the conditions under
which il was delivered, the protest OF
the German-American Alliance, Mr.
Roosevelts reply and the effect of the
reply on the members Of the alliance
and you will never again ask why or
how.
THE man who can make such a
speech under such conditions and pro-
duce such an effect is most sincere IN
his conviction and courageously faith
full. The benefits of such a speech are
best seen in the fact that our German
American friends rose 70 the appeal OF
Mr.. Roosevelt and thereby demon
strated that they were true Americans
with no hyphen in their devotion tc
America and our high national ideals

Many a motion picture thriller which

b,bv actor athrill with real terror, or

Coulter. superintendent of the Society
fsr the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
5ren. The inhumanity has existe in
New York City without supervision or
check for several years, Mr.. Coulter
said yesterday.
Mothers freely consented to and en-
outraged the abuses in return Tor the
50 TO S. a day which they received for
the services Of the child-actors. One
even remarked. when the director film
ing the picture demonstrated that her
child was being scared into psroxysms:
ooh, well, the more he registers ter
ror the better the picture will be-"
Many babies from six months to two
years old have suffered permanent in
juries 10 their eyes; older children
have been thrown into water and al
most drowned; some have been burned
and one little girl had her hair go up
N flames in a fire scene; many have
been tied to the backs Of horses and
sent galloping unprotected through
dense woods.
Mental Impairment Results.
Even more serious than the physical
INJURIES received by the children has
been the mental impairment caused by
moments of terror. Yet the unthinking
mothers and many ambitious directors,
eager for new "thrillers," even yet are
disregarding the orders of the 5. p.
C. C. and the dictates OF new state
law regulating the use Of children in
films.
