Women Will Not Stick;
Work Is Satisfactory

Women working on the railroads
would prove the best thing that ever
happened if they didn't get married.
says Walter Thayer. general coal
agent of the Pennsylvania railroad.
He says that out of the 1000 wom-
en- now employed by the company
on its lines east of Pittsburgh, not
one has failed to make good.
But they don't stick long enough"
he said. THE railroads prefer to
pick for promotion those in the
ranks who have made good. II
women don't remain on their jobs
long enough. the railroads will have
a hard time finding employees suited
for the big jobs that are being
thrown open daily"

The white mosque of Djemaat In the
heat-fiooded, drowsy city of Karawan
Is a place of silent worship. Here is
the tomb of servant of the prophet
sleeping sound after the turmoils OF
battle that spread his faith from the
Red sea to the Bay of Bengal-sleep-
ing in the half dark and the quiet, to
the muted drone of lowered voices as
the dark-skinned acolytes of the mon-
astery chant the laws laid down by his
master
All the thousands of pilgrims do not
break his rest, he who lies with
hair from the beard of NIohammed
over his stilled heart. Thick marble
Is over his head, and black velvet high
piled, and the faithful have spread cum
ningly wrought rugs Of Persia over the
stone floor of the shrine so that even
the whispering pad of bare feet on the
marble is missing. The great domed
court is lighted only by the jeweled
rays of the sun that filter through the
stained glass Of tiny windows, and the
uncertain yellow glow Of lamp flames
shielded by translucent shells OF great,
fragile ostrich eggs.
Voices sink to hushed murmur In
the vaulted. echoing emptiness of the
arches. Whether in conscious ritual,
or in fitness Of things, priests, pill
grims, novices and servants unite in
making the keynote of this rich OLD
tomb one of silent awe and reverence.
1t is undeniably impressive. A loud
noise, full-chested laugh, would be
as bad as a blasphemy. Stay while
in the tomb of this servant of Moham-
med, and you will feel a curious H.
fusion that he is not dead, but only
sleeping, and that all the living about
him step softly and speak low so that
his slumbers may not be broken.
It is strange that a militant, stri-
dent creed like the MusSulman's should
