ANS ERING CHARLTON
Frank Charlton, in his letter of the
18th, said: If the Masons stand for
the same as the Guardians of Liber-
ty his respect for them was gone and
that he has looked on every side of
the Guardian question and finds
nothing but sneeTs for wOmanhoOd
and women. The Guardians have ev-
cry respect for women and their eff
forts to help them. The same is
proven by the large number of wom-
en- that belong to the order They
are mostly men and their wives who
have one or more children all attend
ing the public schools. Does any per
sons with common sense believe that
such men would sheer and attack
the women who were working for the
good of the school children. I know
by the way Charlton writes that he
doesn't know any more about the
principles Of the Guardians than the
most ilIiterate peon of Old Mexico.
As for the Teachers Federation, it is
a known fact that the majority of

SMOKING AND PARALYSIS
Science may need monkeys to save
the lives of our little ones, but the
medical experts will please excuse
me for butting in on a theory that is
far more responsible for the lives of.
the babies than may be admitted.
There are thOUsandSOf people liv-
ing in very crowded quarters, and
more are constantly pOlluting the air
to that degree that the devil himself
would have infantile paralysis if he
was exposed to the same conditions
as a body as pure as that Of the in
nOcent babes.
The writer is a man with an iron
constitution, who at one time was
badly wrecked with the same pro-
cess that is playing havoc with the
dear little ones year in and year out.
What I have to say on the subject is
founded upon facts and not theory,
and in the face Of physicians who are
at their wits end for the cause.
Science needs no monkeys to bring
about a cure The first step to take
is to stop the large monkeys from the
bad habits of smoking poisonous
weeds, old pipes, cigarettes and filthy
Extraordinarily pOlluting the
air in small rooms which is enough to
cause fnfantile paralysis. I am not
user of tobacco in any form, nor
would I be guilty of living in the at
mospheric conditions that the ma
joTity of the children are compelled
to live in-nOt for a $40 bill each
day.
Of course, this cause will not suit
the medical fraternity, but neverthe-
less it is nearer the facts than all
germ theories they can seal up in
germ tubes for month. If all smOk-
ing could be stopped for one month

are teaching more frivolty than the
old three RS. 1t is the one aim of
the Roman Catholics to destroy the
public schools. And if BrainstOrm
Bill, as Charlton calls our most eX-
ceuent mayor, is standing behind the
efforts of a few Americans to clean
out this destroying evil, I say more
power to him.-A Woman G. of L.

FRESH AIR HAS BRoMo SETTER
SKINNED A MILE


Oscar Nelson, state factory in
spector, with three deputies, went
out to Oscar Heineman's silk mill,
27O1 Armitage av. AS they passed
along an aisle where hundreds of
girls were lodging among spindles
and bobbins, Nelson busted out to his
deputy, Richard Carroll:
Gee, but this place stinks."
In the girls Mushroom there stood
on a shelf eight bottles of Bromo
Settler. There were one-quart bot
ties.
What are those?" was. asked Os-
car Heineman.
ooh, those?" said Heineman.
'Huh-I am good to my girls. Those
are to help them when they get
headache"
Heineman has his place more than
one-fourth overcrowded with work
ing girls. New court action will be
started by the state factory inspector
today to force Heineman to give
each worker the 1000 cubic feet of
air space she is entitled to instead of
the ], 400 she has now.
AS cradle-robber Heineman tops
the record for Illinois. He works 4O3
girls between IA and 16 years of age.
Out of total of sol employees all
but As are girls. Most of 'em are in
short dresses and don't know much
about joggerfy, history, spelling, how
to take care of the teeth, the n.y.
gienic value of baths, or much else
taught in schools. The old rhyme,
school days, school days, dear old
golden rule days." doesn't mean
much to them. And Heineman, the
boss, is a fine sample of the don't
care employer.
Miss Elizabeth A. Grady and Miss
Gertrude Stoetzel. deputy factory
inspectors, went all over Heineman's
place Dec. 9, 10, II and IA. Their
official report sheet says:

are under instructions that not more
than five minutes are allowed for a
visit. This system of supervision
over these young girls undoubtedly
has a tendency to discourage use of
toilets, and without question it might
be said that many of these young
employees fail to answer the call of
nature because of fear of using the
toilets too often.
Practically every one of the fe-
male employees is required to stand
all day long. The work is so ar
ranged that they must keep up with
the spools and spindles that are being
wound and it is impossible for them
to use the chairs that are provided.
wages Of girls start at $3.50 a
week. No girl under 16 is getting in
excess of SIS a week. The average
wage of girls under 16 is 81 a week.
con days of inspection the air was
very bad, the room being full of
steam. When Miss Grady directed
attention to the bad condition of the
air, Mr.. Heineman replied that he
would conduct his factory to suit
himself.
s. con the afternoon of the 18th
inst, Mr. Heineman, the proprietor,
told us to Get. the hell out of here
and don't come back We withdrew
at that time, and, following your in
structions, filed prosecution for in
reference and obstruction against
Mr. Heineman."
Insulation cord for reading lamps
is one of the main products of the
Heineman factory.

STOCK MARKET

regular changes at today's opening Of
the stock market resulted Mainly from

was made by Ajax Rubber. which rose

ing with export trade conditions and
fears of untoward developments over

OF a concerted attack, losing l to 8

Banner Business
In Money Orders
During November

During the month of November,
Bridgeport sent out $915, 1870 in
money orders alone, $34, 3S7.89 Of which
went to other countries, and $1S1, 400. 43
within the United States. There were
1851 domestic orders sent out and
1850 foreign orders. The postal fees
on the domestic orders amounted to
$1,213.54 and on the foreign, 1925. go.
Although November, 1915, was consid-
cred record months in the history
of the local money order division, No
vember, 1916, surpassed 1t with 1000
domestic orders and 600 foreign orders.
The continued increased business Of
this division Of the post Office Is at
tributedr to the great prosperity OF the
city and nation, and to the fact that
there are still many men working in
the city who have families in other
towns and who forward money to rel
atives each week.

MANY SCALES INCORRECT.

Dennis Kelly, sealer Of weights and
measures. declared today that nearly
seven-tenths of the penny Weight
Machines On street corners, stores
and public places were Incorrectly
balanced and served no useful purpose
to the general public.
Fat men and women whose custom
it is daily to try their weight in the
hopes Of finding a reduction, may ae-
eording to the sea1ef, find they have
lost weight if they Will only try
enough scales. Likewise those who
are extremely attenuated will also find
that they have gained if they spend
enough money.
Efforts to have the scales corrected
have met with little success, usually
because the ewneFs are located far
from Bridgeport and merely leave
them in use here.
