BY Beatrice Fairfax.

There's an aspect Of the life of
many young girl wage -earners that
I wish all mothers would consider.
It's the homelessness OF living at
home.
The homelessness mean, of liv-
ing with parents who, absorbed with
other anxieties, haven't realized that
self-supporting girl needs more
than room to lodge in and food
to eat
The -homelessness Of always hav
ing to make way for the other men,
bers of selfish or tumutuous FAM
lily; of never being able to invite
ones friends or to receive calls from
young men.
Does this sound like a simple and
shallow grievance on the part of the
hundreds of young girls who wist-
fully give it expression
To my mind it's very serious
one.
The plain truth is that a girl who
contributes to the maintenance OF a
household, as these wage-earning
girls do, isn't treated sluarely when
she isn't given the privileges OF a
home.
She knows this, herself. In many
cases, she's on the point OF leaving
home because of it. So / think it's
time that mothers faced the ques-
ton, too.
To be sure, mothers are usually
overworked. We all know that.
And the claims of the younger chill
dren are very pressing. So it's quite
natural that they should lose the
sense of responsibility for sons and
daughters who seem old enough to
..ake care of themselves.
Mothers Problems.
Mothers know that flats are usu-
ally too small for rhe families that
live in them, and so are houses. Days
are too short, evenings seem scarcely
to exist at all, and families make
greater demands than any parents
could possibly grant.
In the face of all these grim facts,
Is it still the parents duty to sacri-
flee the family sitting room to any
thing so frivolous as young daugh-
ter's social life?
Frankly speaking, ] think it is:
For part of the time, at least AND
I, think mothers would agree with
me if thew once carefully thought
the thing over.
The 18-year-old wage-earner
works longer hours than she should,
except in few fortunate cases. Inc
hour or two that she might be out
doors she has to spend in train or
subway. When evening comes she
needs recreation almost more than
she needs food or sleep. All the
youth in her cries aloud for it-that
youth that all day long has to pre-
,end it's a grown-up machine. Her
parents, even though they may work
much harder than she, cannot posi-
bly, need normal social lie as
much as she needs it. The needs OF
youth are imperative. Something
goes wrong if they're not granted.
This is just as true OF boys, II 1t
weren't for two things. One is, that
it's possible for boys to, get their
social life away from home. And
the other is, that it is particularly a
pirrs business to keep herself strong
and normal with steady nerves and
GOOD vitality, because earning that
weekly pay-envelope doesn't COM
prise the meaning of life for her.
Some day she'll be mother,
And a girl can't be the right KIND
of mother unless she's sound and
strong. So, locked at from this
,;,,+ of view alone don't YOU see

IRON FIRST FOUND IN THIS COUNTRY
 IN THE YEAR 1865

The statement was recently made that the first discovery of iron ore ir the United States was made by Will. liam Burt, federal deputy surveyor in 1844.
 This was an error. The statement should have read: "The first dis covery of iron ore in the Lake Su- perior region of the United States" !" etc.
 Burt was the first to reveal the wealth of ore that has made the Lake Superior fields among the richest in the world. But iron was first found in this country by an expedition headed by Sir Walter Raleigh, which in 1885 brought back to England glowing accounts of ore in North Car olina. The history of iron in this country begins from that date.
 Shortly after the founding of the Jamestown colony in 1907, seven tons of Virginia ore were shipped to Eng land.
 In 1920, the first iron furnace was begun at convenient waterfall 65 miles up the James River, from Jamestown, but delay, financial diffi- culties, and the Indian massacre of 1922 caused it to be abandoned.
 The first iron actually smelted in America was in Massachusetts in 1645, and that state was the chief iron maker among the colonies for the foi- lowing three-quarters of a century.
 In 1858 iron works were founded in New Haven, and shortly after, in Rhode Island.
 About 175O a new iron field was opened in the western part of Massa.
