On Working Girls

Dress of Sisters Who Arc
Part of Business World

lively controversy has been going
on this week between clubwomcn of
Syracuse, who wish to forbid silk stock
ings, short skirts and pcck-a-boo waists
TO business women in Office hours,
and the Freedom of Dress League.
The following letter was received from
a Tribune reader in answer 70 the
story of this BATTLE of Ladies'" which
appeared on Wednesday morning:
why Not Scratch Their Eyes Out?

poor little wagc-carning sisters, tear
he dainty, pretty waists from their
backs and. horrors! cover their trim
littlc ankles with long skirts, let nc
ctfer the suggestion that they also
scratch their eyes out and thus finish
the job in truly feline manner.
Right in the face of the grandstand
play they have all been making for
equal rights to all women they would
deliberately take away from their less
same things that they themselves so
love to wear, and by putting them in
long-sklrted uniforms stamp and regis
ter them as a class apart frqm them
selves. And this we hear at time
when our big, free country is trying
to lead in democracy and freedom from
class differences.
and why, ladies'? Don't you know
that putting the working girl into cot
ton stockings and high collars will not
make her any less attractive if she
has charm Of manner and bright eyes
and we know that she is intelligent?
There is no room for fools in the bust
ness world. A man may go home and
sit across the table from one, but you
can bet your rouge aHa powder box
that he is not going to have one in his
shop or office.
'Now that sweater knitting and can
teen work are slowing up, don't, please,
fall back on that old, time-worn topic
of the working girl and her dress. Re
member that she is an important fac
tor in the business world. In your
husbands business she helps to make
the wheels go round that buy for you
the very things you seek to deprive her
of. And your action only demonstrates
the fact that in politics, where you

The story tells of n quack doctor
who. after being exposed by one Of the
newspapers, was upbraided by his sor
who refused TO share the ill-gotten
gains. The doctor shrugged his shout
ders, and said: Let them look out
for themselves. Are they such fools
as to believe that | can cure them in
five days?'
And then, when his son went to en-
list in the war, a blood test showed
an inherited disease which made him
unfit for the army. lIc goes home 20

tons, Mr.. Brent explained that II
Is just as cheap to tow bargeS OF
S,00G tons A. those OF 500 tons,
The type OF towboatS provided
under the new plans is what is
known as tunnel steamer, being
entirely different from both the side
wheelorS and stern wheel boats, now
so familiar on the river, This style
of boa, was designed by foreign en-
gineor, for the Nile and lIuphra :cS
rivers. All the new tug boats will
be oil burners, require less labor in
operation than coal burning tug
boats Enough oil can be loaded at
St, Louis TO make the complete trip
to New Orleans and return.
AS soon as dredging is completed
at the Louisiana salt mines, there
will be considerable freight for the
line, but at present salt, sand and
gravel rates do not warrant shipping
by rail to the river. Lumber will be
handled in barge load lots.
The opening OF the line today will
be followed in few weeks by the
opening OF the ST. Louis Chicago
barge line. Plans for through ship
ments from Chicago to New Orleans
are now being worked out, the plan
calling for the interchange of barges
here t. eliminate reloading.
