Kansas club women are hearing the
story of the underpaid working girl.

pictures of the girl with the tired and

her story direct to the district meeting

Has Proof of Statements.
Actual stories of hardships and pri-
Vation are told by Miss Bresette. Her
stories are from the shops and fac
tories, the stores and the offices. She
has a card index of names and facts
and figures and each assertion may be
proven by the little record cards. But
Miss Bresette doesn't use the names
of the girls in her stories. She simply
tells the story and should anyone
question statement-well, there is a
big load of tangible argument in Miss
Bresette's records in the state house.
The story OF the girl who was too
busy making a living to live, concerns
n stenographer whose employer as
sured Miss BreSette the girl was doing
quite nicely on sS.5A a week. And
Miss Reed has set the story to pic

Bresette show SO per cent of the girls
in laundries earn less than $40 n week,
while ~ per cent of the girls in mer-

working in Kansas factories.

regiment which had come to join Zapa-
ta's forces. When Zapata was asked to
review the men he became suspicious

rebel troops This prevented the. carry
