The Washington and Old Dominion railroad has asked
the Interstate Commerce Commission to give it permission
to cancel Its present rates. The commission has granted this
permission
Now the next step, presume is for the Washington
and Old DOMINION to ask for increase in fares The
only reason publish this is to give the public due notice
that these moves are contemplated, because goodness
knows the railroad not going do much advertising of
the fact.
The old rates this line will remain in force at least
until thirty days after the filing of schedule of new rates
with the Interstate Commerce Commission
Meantime the passengers of that line will have a
chance to get together and present THEIR side of the
argument.

TODAY'S TOPIC
Social Life for the Girl Wage.Earner

Ious as young daughters social
life?
Frankly speaking, | think it is.
For part of the time, at least. And
/ think mothers would agree with
me, if they once carefully thought
the thing over.
The eighteen-year-oId wage
Garner works longer hours than
she should, except in a few fortu-
nate cases. The hour or two that
she might be outdoors she has to
spend in stuffy train or crowded
trolley. 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
pretend it's grown-up machine.
Her parents, even though they
may work much harder than she,
cannot possibly need a normal So
cial life as much as she needs il.
The needs of youth are impera-
tive. Something goes wrong if
they're not granted.
This would be just as true of
boys, if it weren't for two things.
One is that it's possible for bows
TO get their social life away from
nome. And the other is that it is
particularly girls business to
keep herself strong and normal,
with steady nerves and good vi
tality, because earning that week
ly pay envelope doesn't comprise
the meaning of life for her. Some
day she'll be mother.
The Washington times., 1919-01-18

And a girl can't be the right
kind Of mother unless she's sound
and strong. So, looked at from
this point of view alone, don't you
see how important it is that she
has her recreation?
What Home Means.
This is, in fact, an argument
that | know most mothers will re-
spond to. They won't have thought
Of it in this light before; but now
that they do see it as it is, they'll
contrivc the family life so that the
eighteen-year-old girl Stenographer
can have a home in the only real
sense. That is, have her friends
come to see her.
There are, a. it happens, plenty
of other arguments in favor of
granting home privileges to the
girl that boards at home. There's
one in particular that's rather
forcible.
If girl is spirited and reso-
lutte, strongly conscious of her in
dividual rights, you cant really
deprive her, except temporarily. of
the social life she needs. She's
going to get it anyway
If her own family doesn't give
her the space and the time 10
lead her own life, she'll live some
where else. She doesn't in the
least want to do this. It's dreary
business, at eighteen, finding
home for oneself. But she feels
that she's being forced to.
She feels, in fact, just as the

Beatrice Fairfax of the Problems Pitfalls
Especially for Washington Women,

THERE'S an aspect of the
life Of many young girl
wa2e-earners that | wish
all mothers would con-
slider. Not only here in
Washington, but all over the
country.
It's the homclessness of living
at home.
The homelesSncSs, l mean, Of
living with parents who. alb
sorbcd by other anxieties,
haven't realized that self-sup-
porting girl needs more than a
room to lodge in and food to
cat.
The homelessness of always
having to make way for the
other members Of selfish or
tumultuous family, Of never be-
ing able to invite ones friends,
or to receive calls from young
mon.
Does this sound like simple
and shallow grievance, on the
part Of the hundreds of Young
girls who wistfully give it ex-
preston?
To my mind it's very serious
one.
The plain truth is that girl
who contributes to the main
tenance of a household, as these
wage-earning girls do, isn't be-
ing treated sGuarely when she
isn't given the privileges Of
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 question. too.
To be sure, mothers are usu-
all overworked. We all know
that. And the claims of the
younger children are very press
ing. So it's quite natural that
they should lose the sense Of re-
sponsibility for sons and daugh-
tiers who seem old enough to
take care of themselves.
Mothers Problems.
Mothers know that flats are
usually too small for the fami-
lies 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
