The Women's League for Equal Op-

Members of the league claim that

employed. follows:
To Women Employees:
/. Do you realize that every law

 PARTY MEMBERS
 START PROGRAM

LONDON,-(P)-The labor party intends to make educational reforms one of the problems 10 which its legislators will direct attention dur eg the forthcoming session of parlta- ment.
 Some provisions of the education act of 1918 have aroused opposition from labor representatives in the 1ouse of commons. Chief among these is authority given local officials 10 recognize works schools" organ iZcd by private firms and conducted on the firms premises which are ap- proved in the act as offering suitable and efficient part-time instruction. These schools are designed for boys and girls between fourteen and six teen years of age.
 Labor party representatives object ,O the works schOolSy on the ground that they may mean that instruction t1ere Twill be biased by the conner cial interests of the firm conducting them" A demand is also made that instruction, as far as possible, shall be in the morning hours, it being contended that it is useless to com pei boys and girls to attend school when they are tired out by a days work"
 Labor party candidates are making their partys stand on this subject prominent among their campaign ar guments.

SOLDIER "PALS" SHARE FIGHTING, ARE
GASSED, AND COME BACK HOME TOGETHER

Sergeant Oliver Jarvis, brother Of
Mrs. l. T. Suits of North Third street
arrived in Richmond Saturday for a
ten days furlough following his re-
cent return from sixteen months of
overseas service with the First Army
artillery.
Sergeant Jarvis is a regular army
man, and was in the army thirteen
years before going to France. He was
at the front for practically nine
months, he explained today. He was
close enough to shells to feel the heat
from them and never received
scratch, although he was gassed three
times.
He insisted that he hadn't done very
much and that If it had to be he'd go
through 1t all over again, admitting
that the prospect of such a perform
ance would not be exactly attractive.
I'VE were down in Lorraine, at st.
Mihiel, in Borch Woods, in the Ar

ed my three gas attacks" said Serg
cant Jarvis this afternoon.

were on the road between Metz and
Verun."
What happened?" he was asked.
ooh, every Hun in sight picked up
everything he could see and ran to-
ward the Rhine. That sure was a
great day, the greatest l ever hope to
experience-unless we have another
war and armistice of equal import to
the world"
When he went over there were one
hundred and four regular army men
in his company. Only twelve of these
came back.
"Of course they weren't all killed."
"but a lot of pals did go. That after
all is the hard part"
James Harper, an Englishman by
birth, and regular American army
man went overseas with Jarvis. Their
birthdays were on the same day; they
liked about the same things; they
went to the front together, fought to-
gether, got gassed at the same time;
and came back together, Jarvis said.
