To Aid Women's College Girls

One of the chief features at an
executive meeting of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs, held
At the home of Mrs. H. D. Rennin-
ger in Delmar on Thursday, was
the adoption of a resolution in
dorsing the loan fund to help stu
dents through the Women's Col
lege at Newark. Instead of Civ
ing a lump sum to a single stu
dent it was decided to establish a
fund from which girls may draw
loans to be repaid after gradua-
ton. Miss Ray Heydrick, presi-
dent of the State Federation, and
Mrs. Selden S. Deemer of New
Castle, started the movement by
pledging $40 eah for five years to
establish the fund. 1t is purposed
to obtain personal as we'll as club
contributions. The fund is in
charge of the Educational Com
mittee of which Mrs. William H
Evans of Newark, is chairman.

Arrangements for
Second Debate

A committee representing the
two literary societies and the fac
ulty is considering arrangements
for a second debate with st. Johns
to be held at Newark. This time
Delaware will choose the question
and st. Johns will choose the side.
Our team lost in the first debate,
but it was our first attempt for a
number of years. This time we
will go after them with renewed
confidence and will take nothing
less than victory.

In Memorian

In loving remembrance of our
mother, Mrs. Nettie Porter, who
died at her home at ROseville,
January 8th, 1916:
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Dearest mother we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy mem'ry will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

Inspector Makes
Interesting Report

Miss Mary S. Malone, inspector
under the Ten-Hour Law for Wo-
men, has presented to the State
Board of Health report of the
work in her department for the
year 1915, in which, in addition to
reviewing conditions, she gives
some interesting statistics and
makes suggestions. The following
extracts are taken from the re-
port:
The average number Of females
employed during this year was
larger than that of the preceding
year, 1926 as against $3.50.
In Wilmington there are 26 mil
linery establishments, employing
females part OF the year at least.
In their dull seasons, summer and
winter, the number employed is
approximately %, while in their
rush seasons, spring and autumn,
as many as 115 are employed.
Many stores put on extra help for
Christmas and special sales; 189
stores in Wilmington increased
their force from 81 female en-
nloves, their average number, to
I .403 during the Christmas sea-
son,

Causes of Violations

in regard to violations of the
law, the report says: "For the
most part violations are due to
carelessness or ignorance and are
growing rapidly fewer, but much
thoughtless carelessness still
prevails. This is shown in the
large number of incorrectly post
I'd schedules. Very few Of the
schedules are incorrect in the
sense Of working the employees
more than the number Of hours
permitted by the laws-only II of
the 12l violations in Wilmington
1rder this heading were for
more than the legal number of
hours, but the schedules were III
correct in that the hours posted
were not the actual hours the
employees were working. When for
w reason al employer changes
MS hours Of work he very often
orgefts1C to change the hours post
lG on his notice-card. This is, of
Course. violation of the law"
Emphasis is placed on the i'm
portance of keeping the schedules
correct.
Two employers were prosecuted
during the year, one for permit
ting help to work after posteC
hours and the other for exceeding
the limit Of hours. Each pleaded
Guilty and fine of $40 was i'm
posed

Makes Recommendations

The inspector states that the
law has been enforced for two
vears and is fairly we'll establish
ed, and she makes the following
recommendations:
That the scope of the law be
extended to include restaurants,
hotels, boarding houses, places of
amusement, dress making estab-
lishments and offices.
That the law be amended so as
to require females working at
night to report not later than 1O
o'clock, instead of II as at pres,
ent, the limit of late night hours
now being from II p. m. to Z a. m
The reason for the change, max
ing the limit from 10 p. m. to 7 a
m. is to make it unnecessary fol

At that moment, before Miss Jones

have made it almost impossible to

PREVENTION Of SICKNESS.

u Would Prove = Most Effective slsw
W Against Poverty.
That sickness Is the first step leading
to dependency and the primary cause
of poverty Is shown by an investiga-
tion conducted by the Russell Sage
foundation In New York city. This In.
yestigationr was made among wage
sarners and charity organizations with
q view to knowing, how frequently IS
sickness encountered as factor In de-
pendency. It was found that over S5
per cent OF those In need or aid had
been brought to this position through
sickness crathe responsibility for sick
ness. Another important fact revealed
was that most Of the cases studied be-
longed to the lower branches OF labor
and that they were here for the rea-
son that either physical or mental de-
teriolation had followed past illnesses.
In other words. sickness was found tc
be a factor producing a low grade Of
labor as, well as dependency. As s
W tue 1oct cases or sickness studied
two-thirds were found at the time OF
the investigation to have been sick
more than half a year, and the physi,
clan estimated that 295 cases were
chronic, while elghty-one were likely
to become progressively worse.
That the prevention OF sickness is the
most effective blow against poverty
and dependency was the recommenda,
tion made BY the committee making
the Investigation. Some Of the needs
to this end We're pointed out, as more
