 From this it is apparent that some l,52,0O women or 47 per cent of those employed in July. 1914, have been ab- sorbed in these various occupations and comparison of the figures shows that the increase is greatest in those occupa- tons which employed comparatively few women before the war, such the civil service, land transport finance and banking and the supply of gas, water and electricity
 Tn an analysis of pre-war occupations Of women and of the numbers which have changed work since 1914, it is found that the largest numerical decrease is in the dressmaking trade, from which no less than $500 female workers have Withdrawn. With this also there has been tremendous exodus from domes- tic service. which bears out what has
 been indicated before that 1t lis these typicaliy female industries which have
 been most seriously affected by the urgency of war work" But now both these spheres ought to offer employment for many thousands who will be wanting a job, though it is probable that unless there is considerable improvement in rates of pay and conditions of service re- cruits may not be too ready
 The agricultural returns have beAa made to the end of July, 1918, and the following table, showing the, figures for each year from July, 19l4-l91S. are spe- cially interesting:

 It will be noticed that after the out break of war in the first twelve months there was far from negligible fall in the
 number of women workers regularly en- gagged in agriculture. This was due to
 the demand from the other ranks of la
 bcr, which in the early days were re- garded as more pressing than the work on the land. The high pay offered also enticed many to these new spheres of work. But the lack was soon felt in the country, for, while women were leaving, the younger men were at the same time being called upon for army service. and the need for farm workers became one of the most urgent of the hour In re-

RETRIEVING BIG FORTUNES FROM
 SUNKEN SHIPS
Many Vessels TOrpedOed by German U-BOats are Being
 Salvaged.

Associated Press Correspondence
 London, Lay 16.-There is a spice of adventure in the salvaging of steamers sunk by German raiders. Round the British Isles, in the Medi- terranean and off the Murman coast are rich fields for the salvage service as well as private enterprise. In the North sea the water is too deep to make any considerable success but in shallow water not only cargoes but ships are being saved.
 Some of the sunken vessels contain huge fortunes in gold or goods. One is known to have carried $5,000,000 in gold. The diver sent down to work on her borrowed the key to the ships strong box but it is not recorded whether he retrieved the gold.
 Utilize Tide to Lift Vessels.
 If the divers after an investiga- tion decide to attempt to float the ship, barges are moored over her at low tide. Nine inch wire ropes are then passed under it and fastened tc the barges above. As the tide rises the barges rise with it, bringing the ship along, as it lies in the great wire cradle. The damaged ship is ther lowed into shallow water and the necessary repairs made.
 In the case of vessels only partly submerged compressed air is some times pumped into her hold, driving out the water while the ship slowly floats to the surface. Occasionally ii is necessary, where the hole is not toe large, to make great patch, float il o. CT the hole, and then fasten it sui ficiently tight in position until the ship can be pumped out and floated. Locomotives Haul Ship Upright. One vessel was torpedoed in the channel, but almost reached the shore before it went down. When it finally sank it was exposed at low tide, ano ,, not so very far from railroad. Heavy locomotives pulled the vessel into 2 perpendicular position and the vesse finally reflated.
 While these salvage operations have been remuneratively successful, lead CTS in the industry declare that it is next to impossible to save a ship lying in water deeper than her masts, anc that very many ships will never be brought up. But they do not despair as to the cargo if the ship lies in less than 200 feet of water. Divers car operate with comparative ease at thai depth.
 Many sailors recently demobilizec have cast their lot with the govern. raent salvage corps or with some one of the private corporations which have taken up the work. The pay is good while there is always an element of danger.

SINGER JOINS WILD GATHERS

Okmulgee, Okla, June 16.-The
 rather exciting game of prospecting
 for oil in so-calied "wildcat" territory had added Madame Ameita Galli- Curci, prima donna, to its list of do- ,votees.
 She is one of three owners of a property near the western border of Okmulgee county, Oklahoma, on which pay sands recently were tap ped in test drills. Gas was reached at 2,300 feet.
 The Galli-Curci well, as it has been known since drilling began. is two and one half miles from the nearest

 brothers, the daring bandits were shot to death by a posse in January, 1917 The story is told that Madame Galli- Curci became interested in the prop

MOTOR TRUCK IS
 PUBLIC UTILITY

The problem of good roads and
 motor trucks must be regarded from the standpoint of a public utility, ac- cording to R. E. Fulton, vice presi- dent of the International Motor company, manufacturers of Mack trucks.
 The problem of production is prac- tically solved, so far as manufactur- ing is concerned. The problem that confronts us now is that of distribu- tion. Upon the solution of it's hinges our whole political, economic and so- cial structure. Transportation is one of the great essentials to distribution. With adequate transportation facilities food, merchandise, machin- cry, etc., can be transported quickly and economically to the point where there is a demand for them. Any thing that handicaps getting food to the market is barrier which prices must surmount. It means still higher cost of living and a loss to everybody. Everyone benefits from the service rendered by motor trucks regardless of who operates them. tt
 It is fact which everyone recog- nizes today that the motor truck is the only solution of the transporta- tion problem. Everything should be done to render the operation of motor trucks more efficient and economical. Good roads are the chief factor. Roads must be built up to the demands of the traffic. The traffic cannot be held down to existing road conditions.
 If city has outgrown it's water supply, we, do not limit the population we increase the capacity of the wa ter mains. Just so with highways. We must increase their capacity The greater the volume of transportation handled the lower the transportation costs.

COTTON CROP OF
100000 BALES
Department of Agriculture
Gives Final Estimate of
1919 Production.

Washington.-A cotton crop of more
than 5,250,000,000 pounds, worth up
ward of 81 500 900, 900 to producers for
! lint alone, not taking into account the
value of Inter cotton and cotton seed,
was grown this year. Final estimate
| of production made Friday by the de-
partment of agriculture placed upon
the crop at 100000 equivalent to
| 500-pound bales.
Much interest centered in the report
in view of the recent attack on the last
estimate of 10,696,0O bales made by
the bureau of crop estimates early in
October as being too high and which
resulted in a resolution by congress
causing the issuance of an extra con-
dition report in November.
Fridays estimate exceeds the Octo-
Der estimate by $4,000 bales. The
December estimate of the department
of agriculture, while not accepted as
the final production figures, inasmuch
as the census bureaus ginning Stats
tics issued in March are taken as final,
always has been remarkably close to
the actual production. Careful check
ing of the estimate with actual pro-
duction has disclosed that in the nine
teen years from 1900 to 1919 the bu-
reau of crop estimates December fig
ures have averaged l 40 per cent low
er than the census bureaus final pro-
duction figures.
Last years crop was 1000, 532
bales, the average for the five years,
1887 was 12,847,108 bales and the
record crop, 16,13493O bales, in 1914.
The average gross weight per run
ming bale is estimated at 500.2 pounds
gross, compared with 505.6 pounds
last year and 506.3 pounds the aver
age for the five years 1887
The estimated production by states
follows: Virginia, $4,000 bales; North
Carolina, $4,000; South Carolina, l.
475,000; Georgia, 100000; Florida,
1900; Alabama, 715,0OO; Mississippi,
946,000; Louisiana, 100000; Teyas, g.
700, 900; Arkansas, $4,000; Tennessee,
29S,000; Missouri, $4,000; Oklahoma
100000; California, 100000; Arizona,
$4,000; all other states 1000.

ering specific subjects it would be
without power to adopt a different
book being a general treatise on all
the subjects heretofore adopted in
separate books, and no such general
book could be substituted in the
schools for the books upon specific

an opinion given Friday by the attor-

1t is further held in the opinion that
the textbook commission having adopt

A textbook on general science, it il
