Before Taking Jobs in Chicago
Miss Margaret Hunt Work of United Charities in Mid

A boy or girl In Chicago Mho
wishes to go to work and who is
over. IA years of age will not
be given a work cert4ncate until
he or she has been given a physical
examination and all physical defects
corrected. This fact was brought out
by Miss Margaret Hunt. Chatta-
nooga young lady, who has recently
returned from a social service school
In Chicago, in "a talk before Miss
Emma PickePs Sunday school class
Sunday morning at the First Bap-
fist church.
This is not done in Chattanooga or

school children applying for certifi-
Gates are merely questioned as to
their age and reason for wanting to
work. In Chicago, Miss Hunt pointed
out, that If boy or girl secured
several positions within three or four
months for some reason, he or she
must submit to a physical examina-
ton each time before q new certifi-
cate is issued. If child is found to
be continuously changing places and
seems to be not fitted for anything in
particular, he is then given a mental
test, declared Miss Hunt.
While attending the social service
school in Chicago the Chattanooga

perience in working at different times

pie whom she had to work with.
She stated in her talk that the main
work of the United Charities in Chi
cago right at the present time Is Ia
Americanize the foreigners. She
mentioned the fact that Chicago
which Dis rated as the second largest
city in the country, has a greater Bo-
hemian population than any city in
the world. This means that there are
more Bohemians right in Chicago
than there are in Bohemia itself. Be-
cause of its most efficient work that

city clinics and laboratories Chicago

In describing the settlement houses
Miss Hunt stated that they are es-
tablished in the different districts of
the city and are used in a general
way by the people in the particular
communities. Gymnasiums, showers,
boys club rooms, libraries, club rooms
and assembly rooms are located in
these buildings. Meetings of all kinds
are held at the settlement houses,
such as community gatherings, COM

workers and those in charge of the
buildings live there on the third floor,
where living rooms are provided.

Norfolk. Va. July Ex-senator James
A. Reed, of Missouri, speaking here last
night in opposition to the league OF ma
tions, asserted that nearly all of the
great international bankers and great
business trusts had united to force the
league of nations upon the United
States; that the national treasury had
even been used to finance the cam
paign in its favor during the fourth lib
erty loan and that the object of wealthy
supporters was to create a great cor
poration for the purpose of lending
money to Europe and guaranteeing the
repayment of money already lent.
THE scheme and plan back of the
creation Of this gigantic trust and
world monopoly is under full way"
Senator Reed declared in the course OF
the ADDRESS in which he cited remarks
by Henry P. DAWSON, head OF the Red
Cross, w. II. Taft and others.
Its domain of exploitation is to be
the world 1t Is to garner gold In every
land and profits from every field.
Therefore 1t intends to make these
profits certain. 1t intends that the Sc
curities taken shall be underwritten in
the blood of our sons and the tears
Of our women. All this is to be ac-
through the league of ma
tons"

and are anxious 10 have the limo
come through the city. This far,
however the committee from the
chamber of commerce and the auto
mobile club In charge Of the propo-
sition has met with little success in
search for suitable landing field.
No available tract hitting the re-
quirements DIS outlined by Carl Fisher
has yet been found near Chattanooga,
according to John Lowell. chairman
OF the combined investigation COM
mittee. The tract must be about
1900 by $500 feet. It must be
smooth, level and free from wires and
trees. 1t must also be on n car line
and be equipped with a searchlight
and telephone. There are numerous
such tracts across the mountain, but
these are far from a street car line
and would mean the extending of q
power line to furnish the electric
current for the laj cling searchlight.
Some site near Rossviile has been
suggested but Mr.. Lowell stated that
no open tract as large as required
was available on the car line in this
section. Just east of Missionary
ridge has also been declared to be
an ideal site, but like the other To-
cations. is too far from a car line.
