ITALIAN WOMEN DISCUSS
PRESENT STATUS OF SEX

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-The Nation
al Convention of Women, which met
recently in Rome, Italy, took up many
of the questions concerning women in
industry which are interesting such
committees in America at the present
time. A recent issue of the "Bolletine
dell 'Ufficcio del Iavora" gives the fol-
lowing report of the three days con-
yention:
The subjects treated were the fol-
lowing: Inquiry into paternity; abOli-
ton of marital authorization and the
right to practice all the liberal pro-
fessiOns and to enter upon all public
offices; participation in religious
works; woman suffrage; inquiry in
the field of social legislation in favor
of working women. On the latter ques-
ton the following order of the day was
approved as first stop.
THE congress recognizing the fact
that almost wherever woman has been
called upon to take the place of man
in industries, she has accepted lower
rate of compensation and that she
has thereby injured her dignity as a
human being and has neglected her
duty of solidarity towards her com.
panion in labor, lowering the value of
mans work and creating a state of I'M
employment; recognizing that Sweat
ing" the woman is Furthermore an in
Justice to herself and a social injury
because the inadequate compensation
does not allow her to recover lost
energy to the detriment of the future
mother; recognizing that for the rea-
sons mentioned above such questions
are less feminist than they are clearly
humanitarian, the members of the con-
gress pledged it to an active propagan-
da to secure for women equal salary
or equal compensation for equal work.
Furthermore, it was brought out
that in recent tests the women have
proved themselves superior to the men
in certain special fields of labor, a
fact that must be taken into considera.
ton also for industrial conditions after
the war; and the right of women to
cooperate in formulating labor laws
was insisted upon.
Next the necessity was pointed out
for creating woman inspectors and in
spectorships Immediately even for
other than war industries. Emphasis
was laid on the unhappy state of dom
este servants and it was explicitly re-
ouested that it should be understood
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-02-11

that they also should be included In
the expression working women" The
congress further took into considera.
ton the harm done In families by the
removal of the woman, and the nee
essity on the part OF the state 10 solve
the problem of working at home and
to try to decide the recompense they
could offer to the women-to her ad-
vantage or her return home.
I'm recognition Of the participation
of women in the consulting bodies Of
the state the vote was approved that
in the composition of the royal com
missions for the study of conditions
after the war, an equal share be grant
ed to women
I'm regard to the establishment Of
school loans the following order Of
the day was approved: While we re-
greet the lack of foresight in the labor

the exact place TO meet the great Cor
siean.
1t was home fight for every nation
arrayed in arms against him If any
one of them had said, I'VE will wait
until Napoleon comes to our gates or
our shores; when he comes we will
fight him; until then it is not our
fight" that nation would have been
contributing to the enslayement of the
world by Napoleon, and sooner or later
he would have appeared at their gates,
and not even the gates of hell could
have prevailed against him,
Germany must be fought where her
armies are found.
She must not win foot of territory
in this war.
If she does she will be able to point
to the war as a victory, and the Ger
man people will believe her.
After the war there is only one hope
for the future of the world. That hope
lies in the German people. In a de-
feated Germany the people will sooner
or later unseat the Hohenzollerns and
the Junkers and take from the hands
of that insufferable crew of egomaniacs
and murderers the sword with which
they threaten the whole world A vic
torious Hohenzollern dynasty will hold
the German people in the thTaldOm of
the triumphs they will claim to have
won The German people are sleep
walkers ravaging the world under the
hypnotic suggestion of the mightiest
mesmerist that ever made subject the
human mind. They are mad with mob
ychOlogy-homicidal mania. The
French under Napoleon needed defeat,
and received it. Otherwise they would
have blighted the whole earth. The
Germans need defeat, and they must
get it, otherwise they will press down
on the brow of humanity a crown of
Attila the Hun.
France, and not after she appears at
our doors swollen with the pride of
victory and with our present allies
logged into her ranks as allies.
The great cause is on trial now. At
any other time it will be too late.
The place is France. Germany is reel
ing down to defeat. If we add the
might of our blows to those of our
allies she will fall Unless she falls
we meet her next, and we may have
to meet her alone.
The man who argues that we should
await her coming to our shores to
attack us has not thought about it, or,
if he has thought about it, he either is
a fool or he wishes Germany to win.
Let us cease listening to the unthink-
ing, to fools and to traitors. Let US
fight this out in France alongside our
allies.

DEFEAT GERMANY NOW
AND NOT At OUR DOORS
(By Herbert Quick, United States
Farm Loan Commissioner

Where should we go to trial in
case in which our most sacred inter
ests are at stake? In one place only.
We should appear in the court where
the great issue is on trial
The welfare of the whole world is
on trial in France today. Germany
has set out to make herself mistress
of the world, just as Napoleon did in
his day. Germany must be fought
where there is chance of defeating
her, just as Napoleon had to be fought
hundred years ago. When the ma
lions gathered at Leipsic to give him
his first defeat, that was the proner
place to fight Napoleon. When they
came together again to give him his
final overthrow at Waterloo. that was

ing classes It would be advisable to
establish, with the idea of making
obligatory, the institution of school
loans at least for those pupils whom
the teachers meet frequently, and so
to inculcate in the children the idea of
thrift and of saving, which if prac-
tised on a small scale in youth grows
later into a habit already formed when
utilized in adult life"

Use RAG Doll Tester.

The rag doll seed tester, simple
and reliable method of determining
termination, will tell you whether your
seed corn is fit to plant. This method
Of testing corn is described in detail
in Farmers Bulletin 94S of the de-
partment of agriculture. Briefly it
consists of a strip Of cloth, preferably
bleached muslin, 16 inches wide and
from to feet long. The cloth
should be marked off into squared sec.
lions and the squares all numbered.
The ears to be tested should also be
given corresponding numbers. sSix or
more kernels should be selected from
different parts of each ear, and placed
in the proper section. When the test
er is filled, fold over each side so that
the edges meet in the center, roll up
and soak the tester for few hours
in lukewarm water. Drain the excess
water off, and place the dolls in a
warm place to terminate. They should
be covered with a wet cloth to keep
them moist, and in about five days
should be sufficiently well terminated
to show their fitness for seed.

FINEST WEATHER IN TROPICS
Climate So Delightful That the Aver
age Person Would Soon Tire
OF the Monotony.

The days were wonderful, and the
alterations of sun and wind were as
exciting as the discovery of the
strange Malayan beasts and birds. The
sun rose softly-no breeze moved
cloud or leaf, and even the light came
at first moderately, indirectly, reflect
ed from the higher peaks. or hello
graphed from the mirror Of half-hid-
den, distant waterfall. In early after
no0n--one never knew just when--the
fnintest of breezes sifted down and
blurred the lacery of tree-ferr. shad-
ows. The wind was cool and soon
strengthened, and by night the air was
surging violently through the gap, ST.
phoned from the cold SUBMITS down
to the hot humid valleys. Day after
day one reawakened to the sense OF
tropical surroundings from a convic-
ton of q northern autumn, with the
wind full Of swirllng leaves and the
fronds soughlng with the same sad
cadence as the needles of scented
pines Of the William Bee
be, In The Atlantic.
