ORGANIZER DENIES GIRLS
WE'D TO ESCAPE DRAB LIFE
Says Lore Still Plays Part and They Don't Fal for First
Man Who Proposes-Thnk Too, of Future

Love still plays a part in their lives,
and marriage is the ultimate aim of the
majority of working girls. But the
average girl today doesn't 'fall' for
the first man who proposes just to tind
a way out of her drab existence, as she
was prone to do few years ago.
Such is the belief of Miss Pauline
Newman, organizer for the Philadel-
phia branch of the National Women's
Trade Union League,
81 agree with DR.. KrStine Mann,
of New York" she said, lin her state
ment to the international conference OF
women physicians last week, that the
majority Of working girls and women
lead drab eXistences and learn to look
forward to marriage as n means to es-
cape the narrowness of their lives and
to forget economic difficulties.
"But l believe that the working girl
of today thinks twice before she con-
sents to marry a man earning work
ingman salary. A few years ago the
young girl plunged into marriage life
ignorant of most of the things she
should know; was perfectly content
to live in windowiess room without
bath and to exist un her husbands $

of girl wants to live in a decent apart

Not Pure Selfshness
"And it isn't pure selfishness that
makes her want these things. 1t is
because she has learned something of
life; because she has gained ideals and
she knows that marriage doesn't mean
Just you and me- but family. And
she wants to give her children chance.
Today's working girl looks forward.
past her own individual wants and
thinks of the coming generation.
81 don't mean by giving her chill
dren chance that Ine average work
ing girl. or man either, hopes to give
her children college education and
all the comforts of hie. She is simply
hoping to give her child better sur
roundings and better industrial condi-
tions. She doesn't want her child TO
have to start working in factory at
the age of twelve or fourteen.
The average girl has learned that
marriage in itself is not a release from
economic difficulties. She may be a
clinging vine type and depend on her
husband, but she soon finds that she
might have done better if she had re-
mained unmarried.
Love still plays a part, yes. The
average working girl is not mercenary.
She loves and keeps company with
her man, but the engagements are
longer. The girl and boy wait till there

SOFT COAL HERE TO JAN. |
Supply Now In City VIII Last Indus
tries Until End OF Year

Philadelphia industries are sup
piled with enough bituminous coal to
last until the first of the year. There
are a few exceptions, chief of them
being the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
has only a maximum supply of four
days ahead. A soft coal strike, coal
men say, would not be felt here imme-
diately in any line except transporta
tion.
In the case Of the Pennsylvania, the
road has normally a three days coal
supply on the cars at all times. 1t is
used as fast as it is transported to the
various dumping points.
The city has enough coal on hand
to last until the first of the year, ac =
cording to officials at the Department
of Supplies. The Philadelphia Elec-
trio Company likewise announces it has
no cause for worry.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works re :
ports fair stock" of coal on hand.
The Girard Estate has not large
stock of bituminous, but, like many
other Office buildings and factories,
uses rice and pea coal, and will not
be seriously affected by bituminous
strike.
1t was reported by the Commercial
Coal Mining Company, large bitumin-
GUS producers, that a fairly good stock
of coal is on hand here, enough for
several months at the inside. The big
shipyards say they are prepared for any
emergency.

Two men held up and attempted to
rob A. O. Smith and his son, William
r. Smith last night, near Gloucester,
N. j., while they were on their way by
auto from the seashore to their home in
Bustleton.
The Smith machine was proceeding
at a moderate speed when two men
climbed on to the running board of the
car and demanded that the Smiths turn
over their cash and other valuables,
Instead of stopping the automobile the
elder Smith suddenly increased the
speed of the car with the result that
one of the highwaymen was jolted off
the car.
The son grabbed the other man and
struck him several times in the face.
He kept firm grip on the would-be
thief until the car stopped in front of

the charges.
Captain Sullivan and other members
of the Zirkel's crew believed they saw
evidence of fight aboard the Onato
the night they rescued the men, They
also believed they saw the body of a
man stretched upon the deck.
The men told Mr.. Porter that there
had been no fight, that there was no
body on the deck and that the captain
and mate of the Onato, who are miss

board and had been buried at sea. The

II do not know the percentage in

,irally, girls who have labored eight
hours are too tired to go through gym
nastic stunts. There may be few with
Vitallty. enough to dance in the eve
nlngS, but most of them just sit about
and look tired 1t is natural that their
amusement should take the form of the
least eXertion, that they should sit in
movie houses, where the air is bad.
1T is little wonder that the average
working girl is pale and wan Neither
is it surprising that she should seek
pleasures in sex excitement, as Doctor
Mann says. What can you expect from
a girl who has little knowledge of hy-
giene or health habits? 1t is perfectly
true that the majority of working girls
here are subnormal.
THAT high heels are to blame for
much i'll health is perfectly true. But
what can you expect there? Those ri
diculousy high heels are much cheaper
than low heeled. sensible shoes. And,
too, the girl is only initiating her fash >

heels.
"But with all these drawbacks to
contend with, believe the tendency of
the modern working girl is not to marry
till she can really better her condition
by so doing"

INSURANCE FRAUD
SCHEME SMASHED
Suicide" Who Tried to Get
$25o,ooo From U. S. Com
panies Found in Nicaragua
WAS LIVING AS A HERMIT

The "suicide" of South American
mine owner insured for $3.50 900 caused
an investigation extending from this
city to Nicaragua, where the insured
man was found living hermit's life
in mountain retreat
The alleged attempted fraud, accord
ing to insurance officials. originally de-
signed to mulct 81 900 900 from Amer
jcan companies, was planned by Mar
cisco Arellano. member ot prom-
nent Nicaraguan family. /
Arellano is now under arrest in his
native country. A written confession,
it is said was wrung from him by a
former American army man. who
traced him through iungles and over
mountain trails.
Facts Sound Like Fiction
The sober facts in .he narrative re-
lated by officials OF the Fidelity Mutual
Life Insurance Company l12 North
Broad street. are favored with the ro-
nance of Richard Harding Davis tale
of South America.
Arellano was said to have been liv-
ing in New York in the early part of
1917. He was educated in that city
and lived there with his wife and
family.
lie applied to the Fidelity Life Com
pany for S3O,0OO policy which was
granted after an Investigation of his
antecedcnts. The inquiry, according TO
company officials. showed the applicant
TO he a mine and plantation owner at
Erenada. Nicaragua. lie was said to
be related to high government officials
and diplomats of his native country.
The insurance was granted by the
local company about the same time
Arellano applied for and obtained from
New York companies policies tOtaling
500. 900. He failed in an effort to
obtain policies aggregating 81 ,OOO, 900.
Only One Premium Paid
One payment on the policy was made
to the Fidelity Mutual here. and in No
Nember, 1917, the death of the insured
was reported from Nicaragua.
The thing sounded strange from the
start, an official of the company said.
I'VE started to investigate the matter
and finally pooled our interests with
those of other companies affected and
went itno the matter thoroughly"
Two investigators went to Nicaragua
One, Robert l.. Barnes. former army
man, of Washington, was told Arelano
either committed suicide or fell from Il
boat into Lake Nicaragua. For
months Barnes hunted patiently, the
trail finally leading to remote noun
tain section where Arellano was found
living as hermit.
After n written confession was OBJ
tanned Arelano was arrested by Mica
raguan authorities. Friends of the ac-
cused man are trying to have hin
