q EVERAL years ago there
-, was a rumor, a very per-
sistent rumor, that the
palmy days Of SPANS favorite
sport were over. No more, ran
the report, would toreadors and
matedors and picadors and all
the other functionaries Of a bull
fight appear outside Of "Car-
men" or the films.
From authoritative sources
has come intelligence that these
stories cannot be accepted as
the truth. On Fifth Avenue,
New York, toreadors have been
seen within the past few weeks.
This seems to point to the ex-
istence of Spanish spies in the
American metropolis and indi-
Gates a plot which may involve
Spanish-American relations.
In other words, it is believed
that certain Spanish promoters
of sport are considering an ex-
tension of the Seville bullfght
season to run as a counter at
traction to the Ballet Russo
next winter.
These advance agents have
been identified by their dis

Should ThereBed Wondn'S Division
Affirmative Answers Given to Query on Magazine Page
BY Women Readers-Womans Place in Industry
Demands It, They Say.

T APPROVE heartily of the pro-
posed bill to establish in the De-
partment of Labor a division to be
known as the woman's division.
There arc few questions of more
Importance to the country than the
welfare of the mothers OF the nation.
A thorough investigation into the
conditions surrounding the work of
women wage earners is necessary be-
fore the requisite laws can be framed.
We are behind the great European
nations In passing such laws.
Moreover, while many appliances
have been invented and much
thoughtful work done to lessen the
labors of the keepers of the home a
careful investigation is necessary to
ordinate the work and to meet
the requirements of modern efficiency.

EVELYN WAINWRIGHT.
In answer to your question regarding
the establishment OF a woman's division
] wish to say that I do think women
are treated most unfairly in industry
and that 1t Is most important to have
a woman's division under the direction
OF the Department OF Labor, to investi-
gate their status in industry.
The passage of such bill would do
more to uplift the downtrodden than
anything else. For one thing, I believe
that the Industrial mechanism should
be adjusted to the physical and nervous
organization of women; that an inves-
tigation OF the home lie OF wage earn

dustrial occupations would be most

crawling away all the time. She got a
large sof' gray blanket and cut out gay
designs from the nursery books. which
were made of linen. from one OF these
linen children's looks sold In all the
shops. The bright pictures attracted
the child's attention, and he would sit
for hours looking Mt them and picking
at them. A baby fence around the rug
completed the outfit.
