illustrator, and Ray Rohn. pen and
ink artist.
When these artists came to New
York they browbeat IL landlord into
standing them off for months rent
for studio on Washington Heights.
Then one night they swore to eternal
celibacy. They were women haters
de luxe.
All Of this is supplementary to the
fact that Webster gave the Delmonico
dinner the other evening and invited
me to put my feet under the table
thereby giving me one OF his Thrills
That Come Once in Lifetime"
Just before the party broke up
Brinkerhoff said he had little state

was suffused with bushes and he

John Henry Mears, the fox and

in front of the Follles the other night.
He aifectionately calls the car Gre

A part of It's equipment is an extra
tire and somebody swiped the tire.
What made him so mad was that the
tire was the weight that kept the
auto on the ground. Now he says it

WOMEN DEMANDING
TOMBSTONE REFORM
Daughters Of Revolution Told
That Husbands Are Too
Prominent in Data.

NEW YORK. Nav 5.-The Daughters
OF the Revolution discussed tombstones
yesterday at their national convention
M the waldorf Astoria. Miss Alkaline
w. Sterling. past president of the So
clety, was the one who pointed out how
woman is downtrodden even In her
grave Miss Sterling spoke at the
luncheon of the Daughters.
"Why." she, demanded. SHOULD the
married woman be listed on her tomb
stone as Jane. the wife of John Smith,
Why shouldn't the data on the stone
below which she rests be personal data
This sinking of the woman's identity
in that of her husband even In the
record that il craven for future genera
lions to read is extremely unfair"
The hundreds Of women at the lunch
con applauded this vigorously. Mics
Sterling pictured a time when the wom'
en- elected as officers of the Daughters
of the Revolution should be officers In
the city government.
Mai. Gen. leonard Wood also spoke
at the luncheon His theme was pre-
paredness, in which. he said. women
should have a large part. II was an
nounced that most of the Daughters
would march in the parade on May 10
although the parade managers won''
let them walk as an organization. The
Daughters OF the American REVOLUTION
not to be outdone by tho sister society
will march, too. and Mrs, William Cum
ming Story. the president, said yester'
day that she hoped they would be al
lotted . special place in the line.

Private Business Gives
Observation-Disclosures
To Increase Efficiency
Owners of Great Enterprises Find Profit in Rest for
Workers, Not Philanthropy-U Sam Fall
ing Behind as "Model Employer"

The chief distinction between Govern
ment enterprise and private business Is
that the one aims to serve the public
without baking profits. while the other
aims to serve and make profits. II well
organized. both aim to get the greatest
amount of efficiency from their em-
ployes.
Yet. while private Observation-Disclosures
and ommercial-throughou the United
States is coming mere and more to :he
practice of granting its employees Sat-
urday half-holidays throughout the
year, the Government of the United
States allows its employees In the Dis
trict of Columbia Saturday half-holidays
only. through the three hottest months
OF the year
This is another one Of the striking
favor of year-round Saturday half-holi-
days laid before the President by the
National League OF Government En-
ployes; And II is amply backed up by
statistics.
Private enterprises are looking with
favor on the Saturday half-ffoliday, for
perfectly good reason that Is neither
philanthropic nor fanciful in Its origin,
but is based on the dollars-and-cents
eround OF increased efficiency.
The present generation 10 not so old
that II cannot remember the time when
washing and even toilet facilities were
lacking in factories; when workshops
were badly ventilated, and as badly
lighted. and when merchants believed
that the only sure road to wealth lay
in the direction of working their en-
ployes as long each day as 1t was physi-
cally possible. There has been a great
awakening.
Other Means to Obtain Efficiency.
Today these same employers very
great many of them voluntarily
have not only installed the ordinary
conveniences for their employees. but
have added shower baths. lunch rooms.
filtered drinking water, rest rooms
and roof gardens: have shortened
hours, and have adopted the Saturday
half-holiday practice. For what?
Greater efficiency.
There is no law in New York. for

stores to give their clerks Saturday
half-holidays; nor are the department
