REGULARITY or EMPLOYMENT m THe
W0MEN'S READY TO WEAR INDURTRY

In spite of the great advances made
in late years in the women's garment
industries in the elimination of Excess
sive overtime, the shortening of the
regular hours Of labor, and the raising
of rates of wages, the problem of
irregularity of employment at the
present time seems to be quite as
acute as ever. Shorter hours, better
treatment, and better weekly pay have
not been accompanied by a lengthen-
ing of the working season. A study
of the extent and causes of irregular
ity of employment, and of the at
tempts to regularize employment is
published by the U. s. Bureau of La
Dor Statistics of the Department Of

The Feminine in Finance.

HC III =
The Interstate Banking(and Trust
CO. has appointed two women as di-
rectors. The women were thus hon
ored for two reasons-one because
they showed exceptional ability in
managing their own business affairs
upon the deaths of their husbands, and
another because their appointments as
directors will help the company to re
tain control over the fortunes they in
herited. The husbands Of the women
had helped to establish tha financial
concern so that it seems fitting that
their capable wives should have. a
voice in its affairs. The women pledge
themselves to take live interest in
the Company's transactions and doubt

men as directors will be followed by
other firms.
Filipino Men and American Women.
The United States Senate has for
three weeks been considering the bill
to extend greater power of self-gov-
eminent to the men of the PHILIPPINE
Islands Many of the arguments used
for enfranchising Filipino men might
be applied to American women. For
instance: Filipino children go to
school in large numbers-so do Ameri-
can girls. Filipinos are a temperate
people-so are American women. The
percentage of illiteracy among Fill
pinos is only 55.5. 1t is much less than
that among American women. The

tionary in character neither are
American women. independence will
