OUTNUMBERED BY WOMEN
North German Gazette)

As a result of the men having been
called to the colors, the number of
women employed in government bu-
reaus and offices i'm Germany has
gradually increased until now the fe-
male employees are in a decided ma
jority. The rate of increase in the
of women in office work
during 1915 is shown by the figures
for the number of employees hired dur
ing each three-month period OF these
new employees the women formed 40
per cent in the first quarter of the
year. 43 in the second, AZ in the third
and So in the last.
Another feature brought out by the
report of the State Insurance FUND is
the rapid increase in the number of
young persons taking office jobs.
Whii2 IN the first few months follow
ins the outbreak of the war the num-
Der Ct new employees under Is years
old was smaller than that of those

in December, 1914, and the data for
1915 shows that the number of EN-
ploycs undcr IS hired udrinG that war
was 134, 461, against S3.S13 who had

CLOTHING CUTTERS MOURN THE
PASSING OF AN OLD FRIEND

Cedar Point, Ohio, August 2-The
passing of the old-fashioned suspen-
Iders is mourned by the International
Custom Cutters Association, which is
holding it's annual summer session
here. The general wear of belts by
men of all builds has created new diff
ficulties for the tailors in giving good
trouser fits, and experts gave talks
on the subject of trouser making at
today's session.
There will be no radical changes in
fall and winter styles for men. Next
summers coats are to be tighter and
shorter than this years, and the IA
brio used today was of purplish
green.

President of the association, SIS that
the well-dressed man next summer
may possibly be mistaken more than
once for an oyergrown chameleon"

GREAT Loss OF LIFE



As compared with the number of
trains run, the volume of traffic han
died and the increased mileage of
railroads, the number of fatalities to
passengers and employees during the
past five years shows a decrease
which is very gratifying to the car
riers. This decrease, to large de-
gree, is attributable to the strenuous
campaign for safety First" which
the railroads have prosecuted. The
most numerous class of railway casu-
.alties however, fatalities to tress-
passers. continues to assume ngures
which may furnish food for thought,
thought In the year 1914, the latest
for which complete figures are avail
able, SAL trespassers were killed in
the United States and more than g.
coo were injured. Apparently the
more trains that are run and the more
risks that is incurred the more peo-
pie there are who insist upon walking
tracks and stealing rides on trains
The Chesapeake e. Ohio Railway Co.
has during the past year especially
energetic in its efforts to reduce the
number of trespassers killed on its
lines. In spite of sign boards. bulle-
tins posted in stations and other
means which it has taken to induce
the public to protect itself, from fig
ures which have just been compiled
by that company 1t is found that dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 30th,
1916, eighty-five persons, including
men, women and children were killed
while using the company's property as
a highway or stealing rides on trains
or engines. OF this number % were
killed in the State of Virginia, 80 in
West Virginia to prevent, there was
killed nearly one-third as many per.
sons as the total killed of United
States soldiers and sailors in the war
with Spain.
More than 90 per cent of all rail-
way fatalities has been caused by
trespassing. During the past decade
there have been passed many laws re-
.lating to the remaining AZ per cent
and these laws are rigidly enforced
and strictly observed by the railroads
There are but few States where there
are anti-trespass laws affecting rail
way property and it is but rarely that
We hear of a conviction for such an
offense.
Contrary to the opinion generally
held large majority of the persons
killed or injured while trespassinP
are not tramps but are reputable per-
sons, residing in or near the localities
where the accidents occur. An espe-
cially pathetic feature is the larger
number of children who are killed or
injured, frequently permanently dis
abled, by reason of what can only be
called the gross negligence of parents
or guardians. We are now in the
midst of the vacation season and chill
dren should be cautioned particularly
against walking on or about railway
property, and especially against
