CLANCY SEEKING
A PLACE IN The
FIRE DEP ARTMENT

Alderman John f. Clancys reason
for DESERVING the Democrats and adj
herring to John T. Kings double ma
chine is the fact that John T. has
promised him appointment as Fire
Department mason to succeed George
Rutherford, who is said to be slated
for retirement 1t is practically de-
cided, according to reports in political
circles today, that Clancy will be
chosen over John ('TIuddie") McCar-
thy, who has, it is said, been hot af-
ter the job.
Clancy and Henry Clampett have
been holding conferences almost every
night in the latters livery stable and
John T. King has spoken to both of
them in the last few weeks.
The job Clancy is after pays $1,000

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE KNOW THIS
miami Metropolis.)

1t takes boy of especially fine
calibre and Of especially strong men
tally to refuse a Job of an attrac-
tive kind, with an attractive salary
attached, in order that he may con-
time his school work. Most boys
would like to earn money. Most boys
would like to have the freedom that
comes with independent means and an
environment that puts him on a foot
ing with men. Thus It takes genuine
good sense for boy to turn down"
the offer Of Job and good pay, when
the other course means the going
without the things that a good salary
can buy and the attendant pleasures
that business life would bring.
1t is theme Of this sort that one
OF the syndicate writer's, Winifred
Black, handles for the Atlanta Geor-
gian. Her plea for the acquisition Of
an education is the plea that is COM
ing from all intelligent people these
days, but she puts it in some effective
words that are we'll worth passing on
to young people in Miami who may be,
thinking wistfully of "jobs" and
money-making as something decidedly
more desirable than an education
She says:
This war is taking us farther
ahead in two or three years than we
could have gone in centuries in any
other kind of way.
We're going to have new ideas
and new ways, and new kind of edu
cation and new kind of family life,
and a new way of looking at public
affairs and new friends, and ] SUP
pose, quite incidentally. new enemies,
too.
Its going to take brain that i.
trained not only to learn but to think
| to understand it at all-the new stu
alton.
"The girl Of ten years from now
isn't going to be any more like her
sister of today than sister is like
great-grandmother when she used to
wear hoops and side-spring CATERS,
and a prunella hood, and faint every
time she got a chance because 1t was
considered vulgar to be strong and
healthy.
She never ate bite in company
ladies nibbled, they didn't eat. She
never took a step if she could help it.
They're all gone, the dear, sweet
ladies of the former age-and they're
going fast, the dear girls who were
the ideal ten years ago.
ITO work-to be useful, to be in
|telligent, to be courageous, to be
truthful, to be elf-reliant-these are
the virtues we're going to expect from
our girls from now on.
TITS going to take some education
to keep up with these new standards,
and I'm afraid when poor John gets
to be ten years older than he is to-
day, he'll wish he had taken his IA
theirs advice and gone at least to high
school"

WOMEN FARM MANAGERS

Women have answered the call for
farm labor. Great numbers of them
Iare working in gardens and on farms
all over the country this summer. The
|papers are full Of fascinating pictures
of "farmerettes" apparently thorough,
ly enjoying their new occupation.
AS more women turn to the soil for
their labor of patriotism it Is becom-
ing evident that there are some kinds
of farm work that are too heavy for
them. Oh, they can do it, as do peas
ant women in Europe. But No real.
ly wide-awake citizen wants such a
class Of women developed in this
country.
There is, however, farm work for
which women have shown themselves
eminently fitted physically and men
tally. A little special training will
do the rest to fit women for farm
managers and directors. Boys and
men past military age, handling mod
ern machinery, can do the heavy work
of the farm. An important part Of
all farming calls for brains and train
ing instead of great physical endur.
ance and powerful muscles.
Women as farm managers are not
so new thing as the farmerette of
this season. There have already been
many financially successful women
farmers. More of them are needed.
Women have shown ability in animal
husbandry and as dairy farmers. Here
seems to be the really big opportun-
ity for the women. Agricultural
schools and colleges, too, should do
their part in training women for such
work. st. Petersburg Times.
