Clerks Ask Shorter Hours.

The retail store clerks of Hagerstown

the entertainment. Preparations were
duly made, and provisions in abundance

Another item of interest in this issue
refers to the Frederick and Baltimore
pike as follows:
1.-THE merchants of Baltimore have had
a meeting, and have resolved to petition
the next Legislature of Maryland, to pass
law to incorporate companies for the
purpose of making turnpike roads from
different parts of the State, to lead into
that city. The first that will engage
their attention, we understand, is the
road leading from Frederick to Balti-
more, through New Market, etc. A copy
of said petition is lodged at present at
the store of Messrs A. & l. Shriver, cor
ner of Market streets, where the inhabi-
tants of Frederick county will have an

WORKING GIRL REPLIES
Answer to Criticism of Dress by To
peka Women in State journal.


Editor, State journal:
As recently as Saturday, the 18th,
the 400 have again attempted to judge
the working girl, criticising her ac-
lions, dress and habitat.
May we review this matter section
by section and look at it as a working
girl would see it. First, the poem
the States is disgusting. 1t shows
that the man who clipped it and sent
it has natural tendency to look for
indecency in women rather than look
ing for the good only.
AT this point we should like to say
that very few business women would
care to marry a man who was SO weak
willed that the thinness of georgette
waist or the lowness of a dress would
be the means of leading him from
the straight and narrow path to his
ultimate downfall. After women have
buffeted the storm of making their
own living for while they soon learn
to discriminate between men who are
real men and mollycoddles that bend
at the slightest proVocation.
There is great lacking of true
knowledge when business women art
openly judged as they were. COZ
course we know that since peace has
been declared that society women are
out of job and we happened to be
the next victims until a new line is
found.) Each year statistics show a
rapid increase in the percentage of
high school and college graduates en-
tering business. These women come
from the finest homes in the states.
The girls are capable, Intelligent
women who dress in a modest way,
creating a spirit of refinement where
they work.
How many of these society women

Make him part owner in his ma
tional utilities and in the public util-
tiles of the city in which he lives. That,
plus a house and a job for the labor
ing man and land and a market for
the farmer" he answered.
Then you are advocating public
ownership of utilities?"
Most emphatically," Mr.. White re-
piled.
The Kansas author and editor said
he regarded the liberal measure of
public ownership of utilities in Great
Britain and Germany as the chief
safeguard against the spread of Boil
shevism in those countries.
THE tendency of Great Britain,
Germany and France. too, is to very
materially extend national and munic-
ipal ownership of utilities" Mr.. White
declared. ut will have to be so. 1t

How often does the shop girl in her
mind ask Miss Society as she places a
dainty frock before her, could you live
decently on my salary; could you be
happy wearing q dress uniform seven
days in the week; (for if we buy uni

have done. You have had all educa-
tional advantages, time for develop

our earliest recollection have worked.
Refinement by absorption comes
slowly. The knowledge of "all that
glitters is not gold" is a sad fact that
is learned in the School of Bitter Ex-
perience.
AS to the legislature regulating
women's dress-would it not be fine
to see all of Crosby Bros. saleswomen
and cash girls dressed identicaIly-

ish than feminine, but instinctively

Girl Exposed.
AS to the voice so low and gentle
and the quiet dignity being taught by
some mothers is that the children may
have been exposed but the vaccination
evidently hasn't taken, so far as the
poor working girl can see.
To me morals go deeper than
clothes as expressed by Mrs. Park
hurst. The Y. w. c. A. recreational
secretaries and social directors in the
cities who teach shop girls to play are
placing deep seated morals in the
hearts of these girls by their loving
kindness and consideration of their err
rors by their direct contact with them.
High society can never remedy this
evil by advertising their opinions in
the newspapers, giving $50 to the re-
form movement and discussing the up
lift of working girls over a game OF
500 where the prize is a s25 loving
cup Or silver pitcher.
We ask that we be Judged by the
best among us. nat the worst. We
believe that when we are weighed in
the balance at the final judgment we
will stand alongside If not ahead OF
some of our severest critics.
