BURGLARY SUITABLE FOR woME,

BURGLARY SUITABLE FOR WOMEN
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is obvious that women cannot long
compete with men in any occupation un-
less they can do so on even terms or
better. This is the condition that will de-
eide their future in those occupations
which they entered into under the pres
sure of war needs The ned criminal
activities in which they are engagin.
are not exempt from the operation OF
this principle. Thus the woman burglar
or safeblower must be prepared to en-
counter equally with men all the hard
ships of her profession. "All the qualities
of leadership are ascribed to one such
who has had the misfortune to be arrest-
ed She was the head of a band COM
posed otherwise of young men,
Whether she participated in the safe
blowing or simply directed it, she must
have been compelled to action such as
most women shrink from. Yet much that
used to be considered dnfeminine is now
a part of the ordinary days work with
women. 1t may be that there is nothing
for which women are untitled The atil-
letic girl is a dominant figure in this
generation. Why should she not<engage
in second-story work or become a gum
woman? Is there any reason why women
should be confined to those subtler crimes
in which they are undeniably expert?
1t may be that the uplift was predes-
tined to save women from moral declen-
sion in this direction. Laws that forbid
them to work between 10 in -the evening
and in the morning, for example, would
make competition with men burglars and
safebiowers exceedingly difficult

A. CHARITABLE CONCLUSION

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Inexperienced, men filling up the
Boston police force after the strike
cut crime 20 per cent Hasty conclu-
sions are to be avoided. Perhaps the
criminal classes were too chivalrous to
take advantage of the situation.

Gloomy Prediction That
MAY Not Be Justified

TOAL operators of the central
~ competitive field have adopted
q pessimistic attitude as a result of
the settlement Of the strike. They
shake their heads gloomily and pre-
Dict that the worst is yet to come,
That the final showdown has merely
been postponed, not averted.
What these gentlemen seem to over
hook is that America just now is pass
ing through the most trying period of
IT'S history; a period of readjustment
from war to peace conditions. 1t is
time to give and take, for compro-
mise, Cancellation and above all for
team work.
It is true that concessions were
made to the miners, but they were
forced to yield to the authority of law
-.outwardly, at any rate-and they
were granted much less than they
asked. Widespread suffering and the
paralysis of our industrial life were
threatened. The American people
have escaped the horrors of winter
without fuel and since they played
the role of innocent bystanders, they
are frankly glad of it and are not dis
pissed to bubble over whether one side
or the other got the better Of the ar
gument.
When conditions are more stabil-
lied, particularly when conservative
labor leaders who so narrowly es-
capped being overwhelmed by radicals
within the ranks of union labor, have
strengthened their position, there will
be time enough to question if it is
true, as declared by these mine oper-
ators, that ''the settlement is no set
Element at all of the principles at
stake in the controversy" and that
"the operators and public have been
delivered into the hands Of the United
Mine Workers of America"
What we need just now is coal and
more coak The operators as well as
the miners should make the best of
the situation and bend every effort
toward replepishing the nations coal
pile. The public is tired of wrang-
ling for which it has to suffer.
When conditions are more settled,
when we have gotten rid of a few Of
the "reds" who are causing so much
trouble in this country and when we
have recovered that clarity Of vision
which was impaired by war, operators
and miners should be able to adjust
any differences that remain If they
cannot, it will be serious reflection
on their ability to think straight, as
well as their patriotism.

what's in a name is an oft-quoted
passage from Shakespeare said Sam
Blake yesterday, who was busy regis
tering the CANNES of Birmingham, but
it certainly doesn't mean anything when
applied to a dog, for some of them are
being put down on the list as Big Boy,
when the owner tells me that tss pet is
a little Fox Terrier, while some shaggy
mongrel goes down on the registration
record as Lord Chesterfield.
six Bits is the name that one owner
applied to his dog. but his animal must
be worth more than that, for it cost him
81 % to have it registered and secure
one of the little tags. The owner of
Capt. Jack Biddle came in yesterday,
while Earl Kitchener, Woodrow Wilson
and Billy Sunday were registered. Some
thing to call their favorite pets must
have required strenuous effort of thought,
for some of the dogs certainly have I'M
usual names. Jabo, Loud, Jimpsey and
Monkey were registered yesterday and
one owner just gave the name 'Bo' .

Damage to Roads

Speaking of damage to county roads
under construction, about the worst
POSSIBLE thing that can happen to them
is for driver of an automobile or wagon
to run his vehicle over the roads before
they are finished" said Jerry Gwinn.
With just light surfacing on the top,
which cannot stand ttaffic, the people in
the vicinity ought to srealize the neces-
sity of keeping off the roads
While the heavy rain of a few days
ago halted the work and damaged a lot
of construction that had already been
finished, still it is worse yet when traf-
hc is constantly going over the roads.
1t will only mean delay to the construc-
ton, and will mean that the people will
not have the finished, road as soon as the
board of revenue would like to turn it
over to them"

ADRIF'T WITH THE TIMES
A LITTLE BOOM.

A LITTLE BOOM
presidential boomlet,
Just as frail as frail could be-
Was lately seen ascending
And, forsooth, twas meant to see.
Its proud and happy owner
Watched it soaring to the sky
With a heart of deep emotion
And sympathetic eye.
But, alas, a windstorm caught it,
Hardly more than just a puff,
That would scarcely stir a feather.
Yet it proved quite strong enough
To play havoc with this boomlet
So ethereal, so light,
And a disappointed statesman
Saw it vanish from his sight.
