ABOUT WOMEN
AND PIN MONEY
Suggestions For Those Who Want
to Enlarge the Family Income
by Doing Work Outside the
Home Circle.

NE often hears a woman say, II
am so anxious to earn a little
money in my spare time, but l
cannot find anything to do"
1t is much to a woman's credit to
want to turn her spare time to good
account, and, although 1t is rather diff
cult for a mother in her home to find
much of an opportunity to earn any
extra money for herself, if she tries
hard enough she will get some opening.
II she has no children or If her chill
dren are big enough to look out for
themselves for a few hours daily b
can find some outside work. At GER
tain seasons extra saleswomen are en-
gagged In all department stores in an
ticipation of extra trade, and any wo-
man between the ages of twenty-five
and ifty-fve. who is neat in dress, re-
fined in manner and seems to have any
knowledge of business requirements,
should experience no difficulty in OBJ
tanning work during these seasons.
Such a woman need not let her
homework suffer because b will not
be at home every day to attend to 1t.
Many necessary tasks can be done by
getting up an hour earlier. Further
more, the girl or woman who accepts
one of these temporary positions will,
after a few days, feel better mentally
and physically. The change from con-
tinuous homework to mingling with
the crowds and taking a part In the
great organization that most modern
shops are, will make the woman who
has for years been tied down to house
work feel as care free as a schoolgirl.
And then after coming home at night
things will appear different Home
will seem more inviting-a better place
than ever before.
These special reasons are brief. how
ever, and after they have gone the
woman who finds time hanging heav-
lily on her hands and who really feels
the need Of adding to the family
finances, should try to find some work
she can do. If she sews-can make
dainty blouses. or house dresses, she
should not hesitate about soliciting
work of this kind. Many women are
earning money doing the darning and
mending for different institutions, such
as colleges. hospitals, hotels and so on.
However. it follows. that in this line of
work one must be an expert needle
woman, as a fine linen tablecloth or
lace curtain cannot be repaired by ev-
cry amateur.
If a woman knows she can do any
one thing exceptionally well she should
try to turn her ability to good account.
Many a woman with a scrap of fur or
velvet can make a new hat out OF an
old one, and such a woman should
make her cleverness known to her
friends. The girl who is busy all day
in an Office or shop would be mighty
glad to have her last seasons hat re-
made if she knew it could be smartly
done and at a reasonable figure.

Important Waterways Hearing

The following letter has been sent to
Major Mark Brooke relative to taking
over the State inland waterways.
Wildwood and Cape May should send
a big delegation over and boost the
the Cold Spring Inlet Canal to Della
ware Bay:
MAJOR MARK BROOKE,
U. s. Engineer Corps,
Wilmington, Delaware.
Dear Sir-In response to the notice
received for a hearing on the Inland
Waterway, April 18th, at Atlantic
City, l wish to say a few words in be-
half of the Wildwood Yacht club, and
the people of Five Mile Beach, also in
behalf of myself as a property owner at
Anglesea.
Were the government to dig a canal
from the rear end of Schellenger Land
ing, which IS the westerly end of Cold
Spring Inlet, Cape May, across to the
Delaware Bay, and then extend the
northerly end of the inland waterway
to New York or its immediate en- virons,
to my mind, the thing which yacht
men and light freighters have most de-
sired for the past several years, will
have been accomplished. Our State,
from the time of Governor John Frank
lin Fort, the original prime mover for
these waterways, down to the present
splendid incumbent, Governor Edge,
has gone ahead and done the rough
and heavy pioneer work and we really
have a fair waterway for light craft.
The trouble is that the waterways
slant dredging, therefore, only pleasure
craft and bay boats of the lightest
draught can use the passage ways in
the warm months. = In the winter the
Ice pulls out all the marking stakes,
and the same are not put back by the
State until too late In the spring; hence
our waterways are of little practical
use for at least six months out of the
year.
Were the canal cut through from
Cold Spring Inlet to the bay, as before
mentioned, our light craft using the
waterways would increase ten fold.
Most Of the small boats, carrying
women and children, do not venture to
come around Cape May Point, nor do
the resort pleasure craft, when they get
to Cold Spring, venture outside as a
rule. Were the canal cut through and
a minimum depth at low water of ten
feet maintained by the government and
the waterways become a government
proposition, we would see vessels up to
500 tons bringing in building ma terials
motor boating increased twenty fold
from the cities along the Delaware
river to the chain Of resorts along the
New Jersey coast.
Especially now in wal times, would
the canal and waterways be of vital
importance to the fleet of submarine
chasers, were the channels in good con-
dition. / question whether one of
these craft measuring ITO feet and
drawing six or seven feet could get
through and If there would be water
enough on a high tide there are SO
many bends and turne that a hundred
footer couldn't swing and turn in many
places-say between Wildwood Crest
and Cold Spring and along back Of
Sea Isle City where the channel is very
narrow and crooked.
We sincerely hope and pray that the
government will take over the water
ways and dig a canal to the Della ware
Bay,
GEORGE Common,
Secretary and Treasurer
