Well.known Authorities
By HANNAH MITCHELL

TROM the time boy babies come
into this world plans are usu-
ally made as to what they are
going to be-" Only a few feminist
mothers, however, have ever had
visions of great careers for their
tiny girls. Perhaps this lack of inn
agination on the part of parents
arises from the fact that there has
never been any prospect that the
baby girl may be president" some
day.
But. in spite of this lack of fore
sight in parents, there are to-day
thousands of girls and women hold
ing jobs, some of them making good
ahead of brother, for whom a career
vas planned
The Central Branch of the Y. W.
&. a. will hold a meeting Tuesday
evening at SIS o'clock, at 61o Lex
ngton Avenue, to which girls and
~omen who work themselves or are
aterested in work for women are
invited. "Vocations" is the topic of
he program. and the women sched-
1lcd to speak are all women who
aold big jobs and know whereof
hey speak and give advice to girls.

"Work six hours a day at your

says, "study and improve yourself
two hours day, and can afford to

sands of women, Leverhulme makes
a special appeal to them with this
line Of reasoning, and also to the

Investigating the
Opportunity

The program is:
Opportunities for the Trained
Woman" Emma P. Hirth; Glow a
Girl Can Go to College," Emma T.
NacAlarney; What the Financial
World Wants of Women" Florence
Spencer; Leading Women of Amer
ice Lena Madesin Phillips.
Emma P. Hirth, for those who
haven't heard of her, is the head of
the Bureau of Vocational Informal
lion, West Forty-thrd Street.
Miss Hlrth was at one time associ-
ated with the intercollegiate Bureau
OF Occupations. She developed the
idea of analyzing and investigating
opportunities for women. The bu
reau she now heads Is the result Of
her plan and work in finding and
correlatlng such information. 1t is
safe to say that Miss Hirth knows
more about jobs for girls and where
they are than any other person in
the country.
"Women's lack Of feeling of
permanency in their work has been
the greatest drawback to their de-
Felopment in various lines up to the
present. said Miss Hirth, in dis
cussing the results Of her investi
cations last week "There has been
TOO little actual thought given to
the kinds of careers girls should
take up and too little development
toward q broader future worked
out after they made a start. In
large degree this was because the
girls themselves did not expect to
remain in business for very long"
Advising College
Girls
fhe Bureau Of Vocational Edu-
cation has published booklet Of
Information on the various careers
open TO women and the preparation
ana requirements for them. Miss
Hirth is called in consultation to
colleges where girls are preparing
for work. Faculty members as we'll
as students often seek her advice.
The extension of her work ought
TO 40 much toward remedying the
discomfort of insists.
Emma T. MacAlarney will be in
troduced under her real name.

Revolutionary Ideas on
Soap and Fish Industries

CUPER-WORKERS among women
~ as we'll as among men is the
fundamental aim Of the
hours-of-labor policy adopted by
Lord Leverhulme, Of Port Sunlight,
England, who is scheduled to arrive
in New York tomorrow on the
Mauritania. This former grocery
boy, who has become England's
greatest employer Of labor and one
Of its most progressive thinkers on
industrial subjects, comes to the
United States to confer with the
managers of his extensive business
interests here, to look into our fish
marketing methods and to talk to
the Boston Chamber of Commerce
on Human Relations in Industry"
Among other innovations for
which he is famous, Lord Lever
hume is best known as the apostle
Of the six-hour day. This may mean
a loafer's paradise in the minds of
slackers. Leverhulme advocates it
as a means Of increasing production
by greater and better utilization Of
plant-working two or more shifts
instead Of one-and to give the
worker time for mental and phys
ical improvement.

PARISH FAIR TO
SOON ISSUE ITS
CATALOG

At meeting of the directors OF
the Parish Fair Association held this
week, Mr.. Karl Treen was made sec
retary, vice Mr.. N. H. FitZSimons
resigned. 1t is Mr.. Treen's intention
to issue the catalogue at an early
date and to make hard fight for the
best fair we have ever had. Mr.
Treen has had considerable expert
ence in handling fairs, and the
knowledge gained as farm demon
strator will be of value to him in
comprehenidng the situation in this
parish and in taking advantage OF
every opening for good exhibits. He
will also sell stock and otherwise en-
deavor to win interest in the fair.
He is confident that a first-class fair
can be gotten up and he expects to
get other parishes to make exhibits.
The exact dates of the fair have not
been fixed.
Mr.. Treen is at present acting as
assistant secretary, in view of the
fact that Mr.. FitzSimon's term of
Office does not expire until June, but
as Mr.. FitzSimons is so occupied with
business of his own that he will not
be able to give the fair the attention
it should have, Mr. Treen will be vir-
tually in charge of the work. He
submits the following:
The following notice has been
mailed to the Iii stockholders of
Do 9rI, 7oi,
sociation:
Covington, La, May 7, 1919.
Please take notice that the annual
meeting of stockholders of the St.
Tammany Parish Fair Association
for the purpose of electing 25 direct
ors to serve for the ensuing year, as
provided by Article w of the charter.
will be held in the Courthouse at
Covington, La, on Thursday, May %,
between the hours of 10 a. m. and
IL m.
This is published here for infor-
nation of the general public. While
the fairs have been for the whole
parish, and not for any one section
or class, the 1919 fair will be more
of a parish wide organization than
in the past. Every ward will be rep
resented in the corps of officers.
Work has begun on the prepara-
tion of a bigger catalogue and prem
ium list than has ever been gotten
out here before, and this is to be in
the hands of the people earlier than
ever before.
New stock of the Association is
now offered for sale. 1t is believed
that this will sell readily and that
much new blood and zeal will be put
into the fair this year. Buy share
and have vote; buy many shares
and have many votes in the election
of officers.
KARL TREEN,
AssistantSecretary
