EARS FOR ships
NOW PROPOSED
NEW GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED
INVENTION GREATLY lessons
HAZARDS OF NAVIGATION.

New York, June In olden times
when Chinese ship builders designed
and constructed their lateen sailed
craft for war or commercial purposes,
prominent, and ofttimes ferocious
eyes were located on either side of
the bow.
Today, modern America, now the
leading nation in ship construction, is
proposing to equip her merchant yes
sells with ears" the the location of
which like the eyes on the Chinese
junk are on the ships bows, but under
instead Of over the water. While SUI
perstition induced the Chinaman to
equip his ship SO it could "see" its enc
mics and work its way into a safe port
through shoal water, hidden rocks and
through crowded waterways, science
has designed the ''ears" for the same
purpose.
With the destroyer Breckenridge
equipped as a demonstrating ship, 20
or more representatives of leading
steamship lines have just had an OPP
portunity to see and test the efficacy
of the listening device. It is now a
government controlled invention, used
on fighting ships during the war as
a protection against submarines and
officially designed by the Navy as 1.-THE
M. V. type, Hydrophone." It's object is
to disclose in surrounding waters the
presence of other craft, to foretal1 the
approach to shoal waters, apprise the
navigator of the vicinity of lightships
equipped with submarine bell signal
ing devices. 1t is expected also to
disclose with a remarkable degree of
accuracy, the depth of water wherein
the ship so equipped is floating.
The apparatus includes 48 hydro
phone receivers located in a tank of
water in the bow of the vessel so that
an equal number is on either side. In
the test the sound Of the propellors of
a steamer five miles distant was heard.
The depth of the water is ascertained
by listening to the noise made by the
propellors of the vessel carrying the
hydrophone as it is echoed back from
the bottom of the sea. In depth 100
fathoms, however, the hydrophone, re-
fuses to record it was explained, but as
a majority of collisions occur near a
coast line and at congested harbor en-
frances. the inventors and officers of
the Navy predict that its adoption
will remove many of the hazards of
navigation now induced by fog.
DIR. H. c. Hayes, formerly of Swarth-
more College, said the device had been
installed on the transport Won Steuben
and on one occasion probably saved
the ship from running aground on the

BARGAINING IS
WORKING fine
ROCHESTER CLOTHING INDUS
TRY RUNS FULL TIME AND
EVERYBODY TO BE HAPPY.

Rochester, N. z, May 31.-Collective
bargaining is the method adopted by
the clothing industry in Rochester to
solve it's labor problems. Manufac-
turers declare that it has been so sue
cessfully here than the National In
dustrial Federation of Clothing Manu-
facturers has been formed to deal with
a national organization of the work
ers. In time when strikes have been
frequent in other industries there has
been peace in this industry here. ex-
cept in one plant which is not party
to the agreement between the employ
ers and workers.
Shoe manufacturers of Rochester
have adopted the plan and ended a
strike by an agreement similar to that
in the clothing trade.
Under these agreements. the strike
and lockouts are believed to have been
eliminated and the open shop prevails.
The union relinquished it's claim for
a closed shop. One of the labor man
ayers, representing the employers. says
that the union suffered no loss by do
ing so but that on the contrary tht
number of clothing workers organized
has increased from so per cent OF the
total employed to 90 or 95 per cent
AS the collective bargaining plan
operates bert, the more general agree
ments between the workers and en-
pioyers are made by a local joint board,
composed of representatives of both
sides. Its decisions become the laws
OF the industry. Appeals can be taken
to a court presided over by q impair
tial judge whose decisions are accept
ed by both sides as final.
In the shops labor managers repre-
sent the employer and shop chairman
the unions. The manufacturers have
thtir price commodities and time-study
men and the unions retain their local
business agents.
The plan had its conception as the
result of a threat OF the workers to go
on strike. In its adoption the manu-
cacturers obtained the advice of DE-,
Meyer Jacobstein, of the University of
Rochester. who has been teaching
methods OF service management.

they are to work at all, must go to

Laughlin.

in the actual care Of the sick But
medicine, as profession, was linked
in primitive times with tribal leader

extent that it belonged almost entirely
to men.

but she is on the bench all day.
Every day a mother has to decide and
act according to her decisions. And
woe unto her if she is an unjust judge.
"In the New England town where
I was brought up" continued Miss
Laughlin, "the progress of modern in
vention did not touch us for a long
time. The industrial revolution, which
took from the home so much of Its
drudgery, had not reached there when
/ was little girl.
'We made our own soap, our own
candles, cured our own meats, and
wove the cloth for our clothes That
is, the women did this work.
every man who is working in an
electric light plant is doing the work
that was once done by women-mak-
ing the lights. Every man who Is
working in a weaving mill is doing
the work formerly done by women.
Every man working in a soap fac
tory is doing work formerly done by
women.
"The great canning factories, plants
for preserving food, even some of the
work of the meat packing industries,
are built upon work that was formerly
all done by women.

basis of the family System was the
matriarch, the mother was head Of
the family. She handled all the funds
and budgeted her household. In Eu-
rope, among the small shopkeepers espe-
cially, women are the cashiers Of the
family and Of the business"
Cooking, homemaking and dress
making are still done in the homes
all over the country to such an extent
that they are still considered wOmen's
work. Miss Laughlin pointed out. But
with community housekeeping and
community Kitchens and ready-made
clothes, the day may come when the
men in charge of the machines that
make the home go round will say:

jobs in cooking! Cooking is a mans
job and womans place is the parlor."
AS a matter of fact, there probably
are highly paid chefs today who feel
just that way about it.
The situation was getting to the
point where there was no place for
the women in the working world to
go but out There are even some ex-
tremists who believe that the care Of
children should be taken out Of the
home and away from the mothers
hands.
ut is here the clinging vine gets
into the picture" said Miss Laughlin.
"She developed as a dollhouse plant,
because there was nothing much for
her to do. Industry had been moved
from the home. Woman's place was
still in the home, but there was moth
ing for her to do. Often the mothers
of these idle girls were responsible for
their parasitism, because they had had
to work so very hard themselves that
their ideal for their daughters was a
condition which would make it pos.
sible for them to do nothing harder
than sit on a cushion and sew fine
seam.
But the swing backward toward
primitive standards, when woman was
a worker to the cave man period, If
you choose, made a long sweep during
the war. Women had been seeping
into the professions and businesses
before that time, but their progress
had been almost imperceptible.
"Thus old-time efficiency, inherited
from their industrious grandmothers,
no doubt, asserted itself with their new
wartime jobs. Employers were salts
fed and clients made happy. SO the
women are staying with their new
work"
According to Miss LaughIin, there
isn't anything disastrous in the situa-
ton. She believes that there is plenty
of work to be done for both men and
women in Industrial and professional
lines.

perhaps, if we had all remembered a
little more Of our pre-history."
Miss Laughlin reminds us that in
his account of primitive races the late
Otis T. Mason, curator of ethnology
in the United States National Museum,
points out some of the industries which
began as womans work. He says:
'"The slain deer lying before her cave

strikes off sharp flake of flint for

"From leather especially prepared

'She was toymaker for her chill

wall decorator for her family.
"She was at first and is now the
universal cook. From the grasses
around her cabin she constructs the
floor mat, the mattress, the screen, the
wallet, the sail.
"She is the mother Of all spinners,
weaYers, upholstererS, sailmakers."
Again he says:
"T0 the field she goes with the

days of the cave man he must be con-
sistent and include in his delectable
dream the real cave woman"
Later, in her apartment in hotel,
Miss Laughlin went into the subject
with a New York Tribune reporter in
a manner which showed that she has
given much study to the domestic ar
engagements of the man and the woman
whose wooing consisted of footrace
and a blow on the lady's head with
some hard, blunt instrument.
"If the men insist on delving into
the secrets of those monolithic prede
cessors Of the New York apartment
house." said Miss Laughlin, "then they
must take the consequences and an
swer by what right they can call any
work the work of meA, unless perhaps
it is hunting and fishing. Back in that
ideal period for which the modern man
pines practically all Of the work be-
longed to the women. SO when our
men talk about mans work I'd like to
know just what they mean"
Kipling is one Of the few men who
really understand what the relation
ship of the cave man and the cave
woman was, according to Miss Laugh
lin. AS proof Of her contention she
cites his "Just So" stories, which he
told to his 'best beloved" You will
remember the place where 1t says:
'The man was wild, too. He was
dreadfully wild. He didn't even begin
to be tame until he met the woman,
and she told him that she did not like
diving in his wild ways"
You will remember how it was. She
picked out nice, dry cave (proving,
by the way, that there was a. cave
woman before there was cave mani,
and she cleaned house properly and
hung a dried wild horse skin across
the opening of the cave and said:
"Wipe your feet, dear, when you
come in, and now wen keep house"
And the man came In and lay down
beside the fire that the woman had
"But Just before he dozed off," said
Miss Laughlin, che probably threw

that woman's place was in the
