WIVES WHO CAN
MAKE DOLLARS
AS Well AS Doughnuts = Do Men
Want Those Kind? Is Ques-
ton Recently Asked.

WASHINGTON. April 2-The sta
teinent was made recently at one of
our educational conventions that ''men
nowadays want wives who can make
dollars as we'll as doughnuts." That
must have given terrible shock to
any Darbys or Jeans who might have
been present, and, of course, the
statement did not get by without a
protest from one mere man that "if
women continue to go into employ
ment, we will have to get. somebody
to make homes.'
The Federal Board for Vocational
cies concerned with the boy and girl
problem, is of the opinion, however,
that the modern woman, to be the per-
feet woman, should be able to do
both. Realizing the important part
the home plays in the economic well
fare of the nation and, in order to
maintain the high standard of eff
cheney for industry, the Board in
1919 Federally aided 598 schools tea
ching home economies and ATS schools
teaching trades and industries.
1t is estimated that, in 1919, there
were 100000 women and girl wage
earners, and an Industrial survey of
New York City disclosed that four out
of every five girls had dependents
and were forced into the field of in
dustry by necessity.
The 1910 United States Census Re-
port shows that AT per cent of the
entire female population of the Unit
ed States are, or have been, married
that one out of every four women was
wage Garner; and one out Of every
four wage earners a married woman.
In it's Third Annual Report, the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton states that there are more per-
sons engaged in home making than
in any other single occupation; that
there were about 25,OO0,0OO women of
twenty or more years of age in the
United States in 1910, of whom 80
per cent were married, and assumes
that it is but fair to say that as large
a proportion Of the girls under twen-
ty years of age will eventually marry.
From the above it would seem that
man need not fear the entrance of
women in industry for, by tradition
and instinct, home making is wom-
ans exclusive job and her influence
will always be found for the better
ment of society, protection of human
life, and for the happiness and well
fare of mankind.
The fundamental aim of the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
is to see that the individual is fitted
to pursue effectively some specialized
work, whether for industry or home
making. Vocational education makes
it possible for the woman to know and
enjoy her work, and to find that class
of work that calls not only for her
interest but also develops her talent
ability nd thus find solution to much
anxiety and dissatisfaction both in in
dustry and in the home.

Third Time Disagree
ment Is Placed Before
The Chief Executive.
DEADLOCK CAME
THURSDAY NIGHT
Employees Are Keenly
Disappointed Says
Chairman.
S Associated Press

WASHINGTON, April 2-The
whole railroad wage controversy was
placed before President Wilson TODAY
for the third time since the railroad
labor filed its demands last summer
for general increase in wages. In
letter to the President, B. M. Jewell,
chairman Of the Railway Committee,
which constitutes the labor party on
the Railroad Wage Board said he re-
GREETED ITO advise you of our failure
to obtain any beneficial results from
these conferences" The employees,
Jewell said, were keenly disappointed
at the position taken by the Railway
Executives Committee ,whic hannoun-
ced a deadlock last night and With
drawal of the railroad members from
the conference
Jewell did not ask the President to
lay the wage controversy before the
Railway Labor Board, which is to be
nominated by the President under the
provisions of the Transportation Act
Union officials reiterated that at the
request of the President they, would
give the transportation act fair
trial." although they do not endorse
any of it's provisions, they took the
position that withdrawing from the
joint conference, the whole wage mat
ter was made more difficult since the
Union membership was becoming res
tive.

REPORT WAVE OF
PESSIMISM OVER
The Country After His Return From
Paris With Empty Hands Except
Food Credits.
Associated Press

VIENNA, April "A wave of pes
simism has swept over the country
since the Minister of Finance and
Food Controller returned from Paris
with empty hands except for some
small food credits. Newspapers eX-
press regret at the delay of the hoped
for American loan an dpublish warn
ings of approaching exhaustion of
food supplies and of another crisis.
Depression prevails in business cir
'cies Manufacturers declare that
these driblets of loans for food pur
sufficiently large to enable business to
get on it's feet by the purchase of coal
and raw materials will postpone the
complete breakdown of Austria.
One of the basic causes of the coun-
try's paralysis is lack of coal due to
failure of the coal supplying countries
to live up to their agreements. For
this reason industries lie idle.
Austria's natural and logical coal
supply lies in Bohemia and Prussia,
or Upper Silesia. Under present ar
rangements coal is secured, what
there is of it, under agreements be-
tween state governments and upon ar
rival here is distributed by govern
ment officials. The supply is so small
that virtually all of it is needed for
limited railway operation, the gas and
electric plants and limited private do
mestic use.
None remains for industries and
no factories except those producing
the necessities of life are in con-
stant operation. For instance, the
great Florisdorf locomotive works,
with capacity of $50 locomotives a
year have been idle for four weeks
while all Europe is crying for railway
motive power. The demand for frei-
ght cars is insistent and yet the Graz
car factory with a potential capacity
of 800 cars month produces less than
fifty because coal is not to be had
and consequently they cannot secure
wheels, axleS and structural iron for
bodies.
Vienna is surrounded with forest
of factory stacks but smoke issues
from few of them. This has been true
ever since the revolution fifteen mon
tbs ago. Manufacturers say that II
coal can be assured in sufficient guam
titles, they will manage to find raw
materials enough to start with and
slowly build up credits for more.
Commission after commission has
vainly tried to obtain delivery OF the
coal for which contracts were made
whit Czecho- -Slovakia. The reason for
this failure is unknown here. One ex-
pert says that unless Austria is al
lowed to get coal from the Upper Sill
esian fields, whence has always come
the bulk of Austria's supply, her pop
ulation must be deported or the coun-
try will perish under starvation and
anarchy. This solution, he says, lies
in the hands of the powers.

LY CRIPPLED.

A torrentiSl rain, totaling SO in
ehes fell AtCreenweada aar1l vicinity
yesterday flooding the streets, sewers
and sidewalks washing out newly
made gardens and doing much dam
age generally. The precipitation was
one of the heaviest in the history of
the city and the largest rainfall since
a year ago this month, when we were
visited by cloud burst and over five
inches of rain was recorded.
The downpour commenced yester-
day morning, shortly before o'clock
and the rain continued falling throu-
ghout the day. At noon it was COM
ing down in sheets and hundreds of
the people of the city were unable to
get home to lunch and the hotels and
restaurants did big business.
At 6 o'clock the closing hour at the
stores, the water was standing a foot
deep on some of the streets and the
sidewalks were flooded in many sec
tions. Congress Heights resembled a
huge lake and for hours the water re-
nalned several inches deep on the
South Boulevard. The residents on
Parkway were water bound during
yesterday afternoon and last nigh.
and this morning the water had not
entirely receded around some of the
homes.
The rain wrecked considerable hav-
oc with wood block paving on Main
Street. Portions of the street, where
the flood was the greatest, were was
he'd out and some of the blocks were
carried away by the flood. The street
was blocked to traffic this morning
from half way between Mraket and
Washington south to Pearl Street. A
force of twenty workmen were at
work early this morning, replacing the
blocks, and the street was opened to
traffic at noon. The paving clicked
up" in number of places on Carroll
ton Ave-, but the damage to this
street was not serious.
CRIPPLES r. r. SERVICE.
The train washed out considerable
track on the railway lines leading to
Greenwood and the service was bad
~ crippled today. The greatest flood
on the Y. & NJ. V. lines occurred be-
tween Leflore and Parsons, where the
water is standing above the track for
some distance. Mr.. Prince, local
freight agent, stated this morning
that service could not be resumed be-
tween Grenada and Greenwood before
tomorrow morning, and possibly not
them He said it was impossible to
ascertain whether much of the track
had been washed out at this point, but
the water was standing SO deep over
the rails that it was impossible to run
either freight or passenger trains on
this line, until the flood had receded.
AS usual, considerable track was
washed out at the Big Sandy on the
