"Y" SECRETARY

Miss Eberhardt Is Home From Min
neapolis Where She Attended
Conference of the North Gen.
tral Field Last Week.

Miss Bertha Eberhart, the girls
work secretary of the local Y. W. c.
A. returned Saturday from Minneapo
lis where she attended conference of
the secretaries of girls work all over
the North Central field and she says
1t was one of the best meetings ever
held there.
1t was important because of certain
recommendations suggested by Off
Gals to be worked out in all associa.
tions in this field along lines of con.
structive building of the girls work.
Vital points of interest were discussed
for the secretaries at the conference
to take home. to their own respective
girls and they will be presented to the
girls at home, Miss Eberhart said, in
the form of training courses in COM
mittees and volunteer leadership.
Miss Maude Furgus, the girls work
secretary of the whole North Central
field. is expected in Keokuk soon to
confer with the local workers at the
", and to help organize the girls
work here and to explain the greater
girl reserve movement which is being
inauguratcd so many places.

IOWA WOMEN
ARE UNDERPAID
A. L. Uriek, State Labor Commits
sioner, Says SO, But Believes
They'll Demand More Money
When They Vote.

Iowa women workers are consider
ably underpaid, in comparison with
the wages received by California
women under the minimum wage law
Of that state, according to A. l.
Urick, state labor commissioner, who
believes that when women get the
vote they will vote themselves better
pay.
The minimum ware for hotel. res
taurant and cafeteria workers there
is $3.50 per- week, or SoS.5u month,
and for laundry workers the same.
A recent survey gives the cost OF
living per week in California in 1913
TO be 1887. as against 1868 in 1914
Iowa women were receiving about
two-thirds what is paid California
women, according 20 survey made
In 1915.
Women laundry workers in Iowa
were averaging 50 week in 1915,
though this has since been raised.
OF 1926 women considered. 90 re-
ceived So weekly. 159 received from
SIS to Sc, $50 received from IS TO 81,
312 from 81 to IS, 221 from So to 50,
and only so from 50 to $40. Only two
women in the state received over $40
weekly.

OLD ECHO COMES
INTO NEW USE
II Is Being Used Now to Locate the
Bottom Of the Ocean-Second
to Wireless in Protection
of Ships at Sea.

Using an echo to locate the bottom
| of the ocean.
| This is the latest wrinkle in San
Francisco inventions. says the Bull
letin of that city. 1t is of much
greater Importance than it sounds,
however, for it is ranked by ship
captains as second to wireless in
protection of ship at sea, and par
ticularly of those in the coastwise
trade.
The instrument, invented by Sam
uel Spitz, of San Francisco. is being
installed on the steamer Governor,
which will be the first coastwise ship
on the ocean to bear the new device.
The instrument records the depth
of the ocean from fraction Of one
fathom to 5000 fathoms. and viii
record four soundings a minute, thus
enabling the captain at any time in
stantly to determine the fairway he
has for his ship.
Soundings may be taken directly
beneath the middle of the ship on
either side and fore and aft or at all
of these points at the same time.
The instrument uses a microphone
and a hammer and gong, coupled with
fathom dial and electrically driven
machinery. A small battery furnishes
sufficient power for the largest ship
and the deepest sounding.
On the governor. the dial and con.
troll is placed beside the captains
bed. When he wishes sounding he
throws switch to start the ma
chinery and presses a small electric
button. precisely the same as that
used for desk push button. This
taps the gong. The sound travels at
the fixed rate OF 4.730 feet a second
to the bottom Of the ocean, and the
echo returns at the same speed. An
indicator on the dial is set in motion
when the gong taps. When the echo
returns and strikes a microphone in
connection with the instrument the
dial finger is instantly stopped. The
distance it has travelled on the dial
is before the observer and indicates
the fathoms of water under the ship.

Fuel For the Farmer,

Des Moines Capital: The farm
owners of Iowa should make them
selves still more independent by
growing their own firewood. Every
farm has bits of land which would
be more useful in the production Of
trees than anything else. In European
countries there is very little pur-
chasing Of coal on the part Of farm
ers and gardeners. They produce
their own fuel They grow trees of
the rapid growing kind and make
firewood out of the limbs from year
to year. Our Iowa farmers might
not care to do that. but they certainly
could produce the trees. which, in .

ness" contains tribute to the late
Bishop John Charles Sage. The tri-
hute is written by Bishop Irving p.
Johnson, who delivered the sermon
here, at the time of the conservation
of the bishop at St Johns.
| His time and strength was always
at the service OF any movement which
would strengthen the church, without
any reference to any personal return
and one could always rely upon that
service when once it had been
pledged" is one sentence in the bis
hops tribute. During the years in
which he served as priest in Iowa
his services were always ar the COM
mand Of his diocese, in which the in
creased Episcopate fund is perpetual
memorial TO his devotion. He gave
unsparingly of his time and strength
to build up fund that the church in
Iowa might be the stronger.
His election and conservation was
the crown OF devoted life, but like
many crowns had its element of
martyrdom- Still he was happy in his
office and while the work in western
Kansas presented almost insuperable
difficulties yet his cheerful spirit
tackled them with resolution but his
strength failed. But he never COM
planned of his difficulties and he met
them with that peculiar smile which
was q sign that he accepted them and
trusted in God to see him through, al
though he knew the task was diff
cult
In commenting on the death OF the
bishop and telling of the funeral ser
vices, Salina papers said:

dral at II a. m, on Sunday, October
