CLEMENCEAU IS BETTER
Suffered No Adverse Effects
From Strenuous Exertions.

Consider Excessive for Man With
Bullet In Back.

Paris, Feb. 24.-Premier C~lemenceau
rested we'll during the night and seem
ingly suffered no adverse effects from
his strenuous exertions of the day be-
fore. During the day he insisted on
seeing no less than 40 persons, which
the doctors considered excessive for a
man of his age with a bullet In his
back.
All the physicians agreed the action
Of the premier's lungs should be re-
duced as movement causes the edge
of the wound to rub against each
other. The only way Of effecting this
was an injection of morphine, which
no one cared to propose to the pre-
mier f%oreseeing how he would receive
the suggestion. At last DR.. Laubry
volunteered, says the Petit Journal.
He appealed to the premier as a
brother DOCTOR" but M. Clemenceau
sprang Up, seized the physician by the
shoulders and shouted: "What, what,
morphine, morphine! You want to fin
ish me? Are you in the pay of the

DR.. Laubry threw up his hands and
said: There you are. We want to
give your chest rest and you nearly

Injunction Brings More Drastic Action
Against "Rum Business"

a blanket Injunction, the state con.
stabulary waged more drastic war

$50 mounted police are now patrolling
the southern corner of the state in an

SIGNAL AT DANGEROUS CURVE
ard Where 1t Is Imperative Cars
Should Not Meet.

The danger signal herewith Illus
trated is now in operation in Cali
fornia, and has been so efficient in
eliminating the hazard at a certain
sharp, blind curve that a petition has
been circulated, favoring the installa-
ton Of the device at other dangerous
turns and blind crossings.
At the particular turn where the sig
nal has been tried, the road is so mar.
row that it is absolutely necessary that
cars should not meet; if they do, there
will either be a collision or a back
ing out by one of them to the neck Of
the bottle. Moreover, the curve is
sharp and blind.
The apparatus which has been put
in to meet this condition consists Of a
trigger trap in a box II inches wide
and any desired length. This is bur-
led level with the surface Of the high
way, with the trigger projecting
about two inches above the trap.
When this trigger is run over by an au-
tomobile the wheel presses it down

DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained Home Maker Is to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand
ard Minimum Wage.

Courses for training home assist
ants, who will go into>the thomesby the
day, hour or week and work on q
schedule Of hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as a
means for meeting the problem Of do
nestle service.
The object of this course, now being
tried out in New York City, is to place
domestic service on the same dignifed
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours a day for a salary Of SIS a week.
She will not live in the home Of her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can go to a restaurant or eat a
lunch which she has brought with her
just as she would were she employed
in a factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
Brown, as the case may be.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places Of eating and living as
the factory girl, house-work has a
greater appeal, as being a less monoto-
,,,~ 49, .~~,,o - 4o,,oo{;,,~ r1-o,,1r 10 Az
average woman.
The course is a thorough one in plain
cooking, waiting on table and door,
chamber work, plain sewing, care of
children, making of menus and the
washing and ironing of light things.
Heavy work is to be done by outside
workers. On graduation the student
|. receives a certificate which proves her
qualification as a dependable home
worker capable Of attending to all ordi-
nary duties in a home.
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation has been interested in the prob
lem Of domestic service both from the
standpoint of the employee and from
that Of the employer for some years.
The first commission on Household
Employment made its report at the
fifth national convention of the Young
Women's Christian Association held in
Los Angeles, Cal, in May, 1915.
The difficulties of attracting capable
women to this field Of work were laid
to the long hours, lack Of independence
in arranging recreation hours, lack OF
opportunities for growth and progress
and lack of social standing.
Girls have acquired a distaste fol
the conditions which govern household
work since the freedom they have ex'
perienced in working in munition fac
tories. BY standardizing domestic serv
ice it is believed by the Young Wo
mems Christian Association that 6
higher type of worker may be at
tracted to the necessary work in homes
