the Casey bill, or should be under the
direction of already existing bureaus. On
the surface, the weight of the argument
seemed to be that the woman's division
should be in the bureau OF labor statis-
tics as that bureau has jurisdiction COW
ering the whole field of labor and draws
money to study conditions surrounding
all wage-earners. These considerations
caused the secretary to give careful
thought to the issue. His conclusions
are embodied in the following statement
which was filled with the labor commit
tee of the house of representatives:
Men and women familiar with the
wage-earning girls problems either as
employers, employees, economists or So
cial workers, who were also familiar
with the field of the bureau of labor
statistics activities, had also become
convinced that an independent agency
was necessary to deal with these prob
lens and that such an agency would not
duplicate but supplement the regular
activities of the bureau of statistics.
Among those who have taken an ac-
tive part in pressing for an early passage
OF this bill in congress not only because
of present needs, but because OF future
problems that Will be created at the
wars close are:
Mrs. Raymond Robbins, Miss Agnes
Nestor, and Miss Mary Mcdowell, rep
resenting the National Woman's Trade
Union League which was the originator
OF the measure; Miss Florence Kelly and
Miss Josephine Goldmark OF the Nation
al Consumers League; Mrs. LINDSAY
Van Rensselaer,, representing the Wom-
ans division of the National Civic Fed
eration; Mr.. A ]. Porter, Mrs. Dorothy
Kirchwey Brown, and Miss Margaret
Dismer of New York; Mrs. Glendower
Evans, Miss Mabel Gillespie, Mrs. Susan
Fitzgerald, Miss E. Frances Valentine of
Rhode Island, Mrs. Samuel Semple, Miss
Florence Sanville, Mrs. Franklin Iams,
and Miss Mary Mcconnell of Pennsyl-
vania; Mr.. John Ferguson, Mr.. Emmet
White. Miss Aimee Guggenheimer and
Miss Florence Pierce, and Miss Mary
Lent of Maryland, Mrs. Constance Leupp

Proposed New Federal Bureau
For Wage-Earning Women

The favorable report made the last
week of the last session by the house
labor committee on the Casey bill (H. R.
l635s) creating an independent woman's
division within the department of labor,
will be among the first presented to the
house during this short session. In this
report over three million women who
have officially indorsed the bill, will
take keen interest, as it will, doubt
less, sum up the fundamental reasons
for the introduction of the measure ana
will mark what is expected to be its
real start on quick journey thru con-
gress.
The bill has passed thru a period of
official scrutiny which has resulted in
solidifying sentiment in its favor altho
the process temporarily delayed Its pas
sage The secretary of labor has been
in favor of statutory division TO study
the problems arising from the influx
Of women into industry, from the start.
But combination of circumstances
brought sharply to his attention the
question of whether this statutory divis-
ion should be an independent one within
the department of labor, as called for in

Henry Torborg died in Chicago last
Saturday, leaving a fortune of $500, 600,
most of it accumulated during the last
forty years while conductor on street
car Of the Blue Island avenue line. He
was 53 years old and died while at work
Between the ages of Il and 10 Tor
borg saved $500. In the next ten years,
always saving his money, he worked on
sugar plantations and wharfs along the
Gulf OF Mexico. Then he came to Chi
cago and invested his savings in real
estate. He got job with the street
car company, continued to save and to
invest in outlying property.
The growth OF the city to a population
of 100000 tells the story of the growth
of his fortune, but few persons of the
millions who handed their nickels over
to him dreamed that the methodical old
man had all this wealth. Two sons in

Good spenders may be good fellows,
but bank account needs no friends
Never pay for having work done that
you can do yourself.
Make your vacations pile up your

The man who stops work is like the

The last bit OF philosophy is said to

for many years he had ceased to need as

PERMISSION DENIED T. r.
TO RAISE AN ARMY

Washington, D. c., May l8.-Col.
Roosevelt will not be permitted TO
raise his volunteer expedition to car
ry the American flag agaist the Ger
mans in France.
On signing the war army bill to-
night President Wilson issued a state
ment saying that acting under expert
advice from both sides OF the water
he would be unable to avail himselfsat
the present stage of the war of the
authorization to organize volunteer
divisions.
There was talk in army circles to-
night of the possibility that a way
would be found to use the former
Presidents service in another way
but official comment on the subject
was lacking
