The Judiciary Committee OF the
House of Representatives on Febru
airy 15th-Susan B. Anthony's Birth
day-lby vote of 9 to passed a mo-
ton to postpone action on the Suffrage
Federal Amendment until December
l4th. The Congressional Committee
of the National American Woman Suf
frage Association of which Mrs
Frank Roessing is Chairman, how
ever, has taken steps to have the &C.
ton of postponing reconsidered and
it has strong hopes of success.
"On account of the absence of some
of our friends there were enough ad,
verse votes in the Judiciary Commit
tee meeting" says Mrs. Roessing, Ito
have buried our amendment for two
years instead of merely delaying &C
ton. 1t is only fair to acknowledge
this
The indomitable spirit of the suf-
-ragists is shown by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, President of the National
Association, who has this to say:
I'VE who are working for the
amendment are not bit daunted by
a little thing like this move of the
Judiciary Committee - committees
have been known to change their
minds. We are going right on with
our Congressional Conferences and
with our carefully laid plans. We are
out to win and any little set-backs
We get will be beneficial to us as we
shall only work the harder"

Woman And Child
Wage Farmers

The Bureau of Labor Statistics OF
.he U. S. Department on LABOR mas
Just issued as it's Bulletin 175 a sum
nary OF its 19 volume report on Con-
iition OF Woman and Cnlld Wage
Gamers in the United States. The
Volumes of the Original report, giving
the results of the bureaus lnTestlga-
tions,x which had been made under tne
Instructions OF an act OF congress,
we're issued during. the years IL 70
.y1l2, but as no special appropriation
was made for the printing anu dlstrl-
0ution of these volumes, only init
ed number of copies OF each volume
were published The many and con
tinued demands for the report have
seemed to require its reprinting in
some form. The Bureau has, there
fore, published a summary presenting
briefly the more important results OF
the investigation within limits which
will, permit printing IN snWeHnts qudl-
ity to supply reasonable demands. III
The establishment included in the
Bureaus investigation, employed over
350, 900 persons, OF whom over 10 ,OOV,
or approximately 81 per cent, were
females. The most striking feature OIL
this great labor force was tae extreme
youthfulness OF those employed. IN
rhree OF the INDUSTRY groups, the
southern cotton group, the glass IN
dustry, and the pennsylvania SILK
group. more than tWo-thirds OF the fe-
males were found to be under ~ years
of age. On the other hand, the pro
portion Is years OF age and over was
large enough to suggest the heed LOT
vocational training for girls. Inc III
portance of married women SlionS
these wage earners is SHOWN by Inc
fact that of n women among InoSe
20 years OF age and over was unoer
10. per cent, and rom this 1t runs w
to two fifths, and in one industry 10
three4fifths.
Among the families from which the
wage earners in these Industries come
the industrial employment OF girls IS
well-nigh. universal. Thus, in the four
industries which were the subject OF
intensive study, it was found tnat IN
some 5000 families from 81 to 9o per
cent of the families had girls 10 years
of age and over at work, and tl1t
from 80 to 50 per cent OF all the girls
of this age group in those famllles
we're wage earners. That this employ
ment was a matter of economic nee IS
sity is indicated rby the fact that from
81 to 4S per cent of the total family
income was contributed by girls in
this age group, and that approximately
80 per cent OF all the earnings were
contributed to the family.
One of the most significant facts
disclosed by the investigation in prac
tically all industries was the large pro
norton of women wage earners who
were paid low wages, wages in many
cases inadequate to supply reason

Feminine Strikers.

The recent strike of 10000 garment
workers has brought out the fact that
although $4,000 of these were girls
and women, they had no representa-
tive of their sex on the general strike
committee. The result is that they
have been made the puppets. of the
men labor. leaders who arranged the
terms of peace with the various EN-
ployers concerned. It is little expert
ences like, these that convince the wo-
man, worker that a strong clutch or
representation either in labor or poll,
tics is worth more than sentimental
clnging to chiValry.

An Insurance Pioneer.

"Thebest insurance man in the bust

vice presidents of the Equitable Life
Insurance Company recently. He re-
ferred to Mrs. Ray Wilmer Sundelson
who has been twenty years with the
company, having risen from the posi-
ton of a scarcely tolerated agent to
that of a manager directing the activi-
ties of one hundred subordinates.

 The Higher Life
 To many students their teachers are the sole representatives of a higher life Through their teachers there alone seems a chance of their laying hold of sound principles of value.
 Next in importance come the various courses of study-the means of training them to think clear ly and logically. the lack of which is the cause of SO much of our troubles; the ability to detect lie or liar. whether in newspaper, pulpit, or anywhere; to be able to see the truth and know 1t when you see 1t; and be able to know a good man when you see one"
 As to acquiring a good taste for good literature. when our intellec- mal taste ranges no higher than the records of the criminal aud di- vorce courts. or the cheap and trashy stuff in many of our periodicals, one cannot expect his life to be worth much from o lofty standpoint.
 If you young people have not ac. quired taste for good literature, you have failed. and had better start over again. How much time is wasted in common gossip or inane conversation" or loaiing etc.
 Responsibility of Parents
 Instead of shortening our school courses down to but studies which would enable children to become clerks. the blame should be put on parents who allow their children to leave school only in order to make a few dollars. sometimes to get married quickly. or in the rush to possess the tawdry trapplngs of crazy fashion or to satisfy the in- sane desire for so.called "independ- ence."
 Last. but not least We put the church's Influence in the life of educators and students.
 Religion plays SO important part in human life, and has had so im- Dortant share in shaping history. that no institution. or body of peo- pie. who ignore 1t can impart a true education or minister completely to the needs of its students
 The Spiritual Ideal
 pr. Eliot points out that our sep aration of Church. and State does not shut out the spiritual ideal The school has nothing to do with
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-05-22

particular religious beliefs, but It should instill the ideals of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, upon which religion is built, and 1t Is the Church's part to inspire and to fur nish motive power and sustaining force
 Important functions remain to the churches. If 1t has now happened that the liberty which our forefathers wrought to estab- lish has degenerated into @ selfish license, the remedy is to be found in a high regard for the Churches as the best agencies for the task of proclaiming true liberty. To re- late ones self to a church is as pat riotic a thing as one can do."
 President Taft: By @ system of secular education we are aiding the uplifting; but without the moral in- Huence of the Church we could ac- complish nothing"
 Danger of Our Day
 Secretary Daniels: - "The dan ger of our day is the drifting away from faith and religious life. The highest life possible can be attained only through the development of the spiritual plus the physical aud the mental"
 Senator Hoar: There is no more commanding public duty than at- tendance at church on Sundays. If churches were closed, it would be impossible to maintain liberty or self-government"
 Dr. F. D. Hale: Men say they prefer to commune with God by a babbling brook or in their library. Your preference has nothing to do with 1t. The question is. What does the world need?'
 Count Okuma of Japan; The fa- tai effect of the teaching of the sages of Japan and China is that while they enjoln certain yirtues, they do not sufficiently dwell on the spiritual nature of man. The nation that neglects the spiritual must dc cay The origin of modern civiliza. tion is to be found in the teachings of the Sage of Judea. By him alone the necessary moral dynamic is supplied"
 President Wilson: Christ Him self was not a reformer, but He or ganlzed men to do what is neces- sary to reconstruct and better hu man life. He was supplying tho sole motive power for that"
 If our young friends here believe these things, we may congratulate them on having laid the foundations for true education. we may pray Gods blessing upon them and their instructors. and we may each strive to see to 1t that each child receives the true education to which 1t is entitled.

Black Snakes Beneficent.

In Burlington county, New Jersey,
the farmers who, in the erroneous be-
lief that they are pest, have been
killing black snakes are being urged
to conserve them as enemies Of the
rattlers, which have been unpleasantly
numerous this year. The damage dond
by the non-poisonous reptiles is now
recognized to be a slight account in
comparison with the good they do.
Not only will the black snake fight and
best the rattler, but he earns more
than his keep by keeping down otheA
pests. 1t has taken man q long time
to identify his friends of the lower or
ders, and even today many perse-
cuted animals do not receive the credis
that is due them.-New York Sun.

KEEPING RECORDS Or FEEDS
Where Scales Are Not Handy Esti.
mates of Feeding Stuffs viii Be
Found Quite Convenient.

In keeping records of feeding cows
or other animals scales should be
handy. Bat Is may not be necessary
to weigh every feed as this might re-
quire considerable time and perhaps
not be convenient owing to early and
late hours being used when light
might be required.
A good way to do this is to- weigh
a measure full of feed and estimate
the weight by this measure. One can
estimate the weight within close limits
in this way.
Frequently no scales are at hand
when the feeder is trying to feed
balanced ration. The following esti-
mates Of the common feeding stuffs
will be handy:
A quart measure Of cottonseed meal
weighs 1.5 pounds; wheat bran
(coarse), 8 pound; wheat middlings
(coarse), 8 pound; wheat middlings
(fine), IL pounds; mixed wheat feed.
6 pound; cornmeal, 1.5 pounds; oats,
IL pounds; rye bran, 6 pound; linseed
meal, IL pounds; gluten, 1.2 pounds.

be no shoulder left by the wall, as
this causes spoiled silage. The founda-
ton wall, and, in fact, the walls of the
entire silo, should be as smooth as pos
sible. If due care is used in tramping
the silage during the filing, doors
which extend into the silo are not
serious objection, though perfectly
flush doors are certainly an advantage.
A vertical wall is the only satisfac-
tory wall to use, as wall inclined out
ward will support the silage to a GER
tain extent and prevent 1t settling sat
isfactorily, thus creating air pockets
When the wall is inclined inward the
silage will settle away from it. In
the case of concrete silOs with ia
pered walls, these should be vertical

LIVE STOCK FAVOR ALFALFA
Plant Does Not ThriVe-No Serl-
GUS Danger of BIoat.

Alfalfa makes excellent pasture for
all kinds of live stock, but 1t Is not
generally pastured for the reason that
it does not stand pasturing well If
heavily pastured with cattle. Light
pasturing, however, is not objection
able. There is no serious danger of
bloat If the cattle are turned on grad
ually and in the middle of the day
and after they are pretty well filed up
on other pasture. A sudden change of
feed is not well for hungry stock of
any kind. You can pasture your al
falfa safely and get good results from
IT, but IL we were anxious to keep the
field in alfalfa continuously and get
the greatest yields possible we would
Lot pasture it.

LATE BLIGHT IS INJURIOUS
Disease of Potatoes Is Especially Seri-
GUS During Wet Seasons
Caused by Fungus.

One of the serious potato diseases is
the late blight. This disease is espe-
cially injurious during wet seasons.
Blight is caused by a fungus which
lives over winter in the tubers. When
the diseased tubers are planted the
mycelium of the fungus grows up
through the sprouts to the surface of
the ground where spores are produced
on the surface of the stems and leaves.
These spores are blown to other plants
where, with sufficient moisture, they
grow and enter the tissues of the
plant, branching out in all directions.
Many of the spores fall to the ground,
where they may infect the young
tubers. If the tubers are dug while
the disease Is active on the vines,
large numbers Of spores come in con-
tact with the tubers and may produce
infection.
