Indignation over the proposed sale

the islands if they were not sold has
served TO strengthen the opposition
to the sale, though generally disbe-
lieved in well-informed quarters.

Decisive blows are being struck
by the Italians who, having ad-
vanced more than 90 miles from Co

Trieste. A report from Rome states
that the fall of Tolmino is imminent.
With the capture Of this fortified pO-

have been shattered entirely.

women, II so happens, but their attitudes
are similar to those assumed by every

The assumption is that being a success

nR. KRISTINE MANN has looked after
1.-the health of the women employees in
two large department stores for more than a
year. Prior to that she had experience Of
one year with college women. Her expert
ences and the conclusions based on them
she tells about in the American Journal
of Public Health.
The department store girl, says Doctor
Mann. is engaged in an inactive occupation,
She walks about two miles a day in the
store. shown by pedometer, and she
stands the rest of the time in tightly fitting,
poorly constructed corsets and high-heeled
shoes AS a rule. she has no knowledge Of
correct posture.
In one large store of the better class
with 1000 employees. an average of 20
persons a day were cared for in the hos
pital. 1t is interesting to know why the
women went to the half-hospital half-rest-
ing station. Minor emergency surgery led
with 81 per cent. Colds came second with
72 per cent. Headaches third, 8 per cent
Other frequent complaints were as fol-
lows Eye and ear symptoms, per cent /;
Indigestion. per cent. /; painful menstrual
tion, per cent. In the course of a month
about 40 per cent. OF the employees go to
the hospital for some complaint.
Doctor Mann says that better care OF the
body would prevent nearly half of these
symptoms from appearing.
One store examines the applicants before
employing them. In two years 1900 appli-
cants were examined. Twelve per cent. Of
the women and Is per cent. of the men
were rejected for ineurable organic disease.
A better plan would be an entrance ex-
animation that would select employees for
certain jobs, keep employees from jobs in
which they must fail TO make good and
prescribe a probationary period for those
who. though not in good physical eondi-
ton. could get into condition by right lv-
ing She says: "A case of goitre should
not be employed as an errand girl or a heart
case as a floor walker. though both might
ut In nicely elsewhere"
A closer study oka group OF 100 women
coming into the hospital was made. The
average age was So. On the symptom side
b5 per cent. had periodic recurring head
aches, 81 per cent had stomach or bowel
trouble 49 per cent had menstrual trouble
20 per cent. had leucorrhea. Other more
common complaints were; Frequent colds
chronic catarrh and overfatigue at the END
OF the days work.
Nervousness was often complained Of
Doctor Mann tried 10 find out what was
meant when nervousness was complained
Of. for the word has no particular mean
ing. She came to the conclusion that ner-
vousness was the result Of worry and fear
on the physical side. 80 per cent had
teeth which needed attention II per cent
had heart murmurs. organic and functional;
7 per cent. hld nat feet rs Der cent. had

BEING WOMAN A CAREER

Furthermore, 1 see a great number OF

The women who sacrifice the big, vital
things Of life, such as home and children.
in order to court her are more to be
pitied than scorned. In their blind en-

that to be just woman--a real, vital
