WOMEN WAGE FARMERS.

The vocation education of girls and
women presents a special problem, ac-
cording to a statement of the National
Society for the Promotion of Indus
trial Education, because it concerns a
group of late-comers in industry. The
serious situation with which foreign
industries are now confronted as a
result of the enormous increase of
women wage-earners is only our own
problem thrown into excessively high
relief. Fortunately, there is still time
to assimilate in this country the in
creasing amount of women's work if
wise constructive action is adopted.
The United States census of 1910
shows steady Increases in the number
of women wage-earners and it shows
that their work Is not incidental as is
commonly assumed. In 1880, Is per
| cent of our girls and women were at
work; in 1890. II per cent; in 1900,
10 per cent; and in 1910, % per cent.
In the year of 1916, it is without doubt
true that one-fourth of the girls and
women over 10 years of age were gain
! fully employed. The census further
| llulCdleS that the length Time our
ing which women remain in industry
| is not SO brief as is commonly as
sumed. No one is surprised to learn
that two million girls between-14 and
20 are at work, but we seldom hear
of the million and more women past
As who are earning their living. or of
the four million and more in the
prime of life who join hands with the
girls brigade on one size and with
the grandmothers' brigade on the
other.
In the last three decades, the num-
Der of women in commercial and bust
ness occupations has grown from 22S.-
421 to 1,2O2,352. The number has
increased fivefold. Right preparation

steam heat and electric lights
Not long ago 1 was passing thru the
streets of a city in which there has
been much building lately
, Blocks of two and three family
houses were going up everywhere
And everywhere one saw those two
Inducements blazoned across the top
of the ITO Let or For Sale" in print
that dwarfed all the rest.
One would think that absolutely
the only things worth looking for in a
: house were steam heat and electric
lights!
Never mind about any individuality
of architecture-what is that to one
who has these supreme blessings,
steam heat and electric lights?
Do not ask if there are open fire
places. What could anyone want OF
an open fireplace when a beautiful
shiny new radiator floods the room
with heat?
What if there is not space enough
between the houses to let the sun
shine into the rooms? what could
you want of anything so old fashion
ed as sunshine when you have steam
for heat and electricity for light?
| A friend of mine took half of an
old fashioned house in preference to
/ a new apartment. She has large
rooms, open fireplaceS and a wealth
| heat or electric light. And how her
friends who have these blessings pity
! her. AS if she were not better off
than many of them,
OF course / do not mean to say that
steam heat and electric lights are not
good things to have
Personally 1 object to steam heat.
I hate radiators, they are the ugliest
things ever made and they are always
/ just where you want to put some piece
of furniture. When I build my house
/ it will have an old fashioned furnace
| Neither am I SO crazy about electric
| lights as most people To me they are
nice but not necessary. In fact l
would really rather read by a good
old fashioned kerosene lamp Off l
didn't have to fill it myself.)
| But these are merely personal
points of view and quite beside the
point.
What 1 resent in these signs is that
they symbolic the ma mia for creature
| comforts which seems to possess the
age
Not that creature comforts are not
good. especially when they make for
efficiency in living. The danger comes
| when they mean more to us than
ANYTHING else. when beauty and the
| other realities are subordinated to
them
Have your steam heat and electric
lights if YOU want them. but don't for
get to want fireplaces and sunshine,

GERMANY's DESPERATE PLOT.

The discovery that Germany has
been intriguing with Mexico in an eff
fort to involve that country and thru
her Japan, in a war with the United
States, gives no cause for surprise
Germany's whole course from the be-
ginning of the world war has been
marked by treachery and undetermined
dealing.
Furthermore that country is in des
perate plight and is ready to resort
to anything to run the war This is
shown by her resorting to unrestricted
submarine warfare in defiance of all
laws OF nations and of humanity
Nothing less than desperation could
cause a nation to seek an offensive
alliance with another country with
which it already is at war.
1t should have been apparent to
her if she had not been blinded by
selfishness and bigheadedness that
Japan's honor and material interests
| both would preclude the acceptance
tof such proposal.
1t seems that there is nothing too
large or too small for Germany's con-
sideration in her effort to voice a
victory She is suspected of attempt
| ing to array Colombia against this
country, because of our failure to
ratify the pending treaty.
The highly efficient and thorOly or
ganized espionage system of the Ger
man empire is awake to the posi-
bilities in this as in every other sit
uation. Its agents undoubtedly
prompted Carranza to his neutrality
note and to his threat to cut off sup
plies of oil to the British navy; they
undoubtedly were concerned in stir
ring up if not financing the revoIu-
ton in Cuba; and they are quite cap
able of making the most of whatever
situation may arise in Colombia.
| The kaiser probably will not be able
to find another Bulgaria.

A common everyday oyster once

OF course he didn't know he was a

he was a very wonderful creature, for
YOU see he had always lived in his own
little shell and had never seen any
body to compare himself with.
That's the worst of being an oyster

or anything but themselves, so they
naturally think they're important
But this particular oyster was very

of sand that wasn't invited. 1t just

if it mad always intended to come
thereI
The oyster was not at all pleased
with the intruder for he scratched
and bothered greatly, so Mr.. Oyster
decided to stop thinking what he
would be in the world and think what
to do with that grain of sand.
At last a bright idea occurred to
:. Il know what I'll do with you" he
said to the grain of sand, TN cover
you up with some of my shell and
then you can't scratch"
That's no new idea" said the
sand disdaiafully, that's done all the
timel That will simply make me into
a pearl Then men will come and get
me out and polish me till I'm beau

"Oh. will they" cried the oyster in
delight then I'd really be doing
something very wonderful in the
world. wouldn't II"
Yes, i guess you would" remarked
the sand, quite unimpressed. but II
