Taller Order.

Jones had been member of the glo- rious company of the workless for some time, so that when the offer of work as & carter came Jones jumped at it
 But even to be carter requires ex- perience, particularly in loading up, and when one has a two-wheeled spring cart to load 1t Is better not to put all the goods at the back. This, however, was what Jones did, with the consequence that when they were go- ing up hill the horse, unable to stand the strain, stopped.
 It did not strike our friend that his method at loading was at fault. He tried yainly to induce his steed to pro ceed, and then. noticing that the ani- malls feet only just touched the ground, he turned and drove back at full speed to his guv-nor.
 Haven't you got taller horse, guv'- nor?" he queried, artlessly. This one ain't high enough for the work"

 Employment of women in light work in several sawmills in Arkansas has been reported to the state Labor Department at Little Rock, which is not in violation of the law regulating the employment of women so long as they are not required to work more than nine hours a day and other pro visions of the law are not violated
 A request was received by the com missioner of labor from H. R. Kilpat- rick, general manager of the Doniphan Lumber Company at Kensett for per mission to employ several women 10 hours day He said the women did not object to working 10 hours, as their duties were very light, but that he would not employ them if it was a violation of the law.
 In the absence of Ben D. Brick house, state labor commissioner, k. l. Mckinley. deputy commissioner, told MT. Fitzpatrick that 10-hour workday for women could not be per mitted, but there is no objection to their working nine hours a day.
 We have been requested by the National Board of Defense, through resolutions passed by the Women's s Council of that body" wrote Deputy Commissioner Mckinley, ito rigidly enforce the laws relative to the pro- lection of women in industry. The council takes the position that to grant longer hours would be drawing upon the vitality of future generations, and that at this time it is imperative 10 conserve not only the national re- sources, but the human as well.''
