The Girl Who Works
Becomes Independent

The girls from out in the country who
have come to Martinsburg to take posi-
tons in the interviewer Mills are earning
more money each week than was ordinar-
lily paid to men, few years ago.
These girls now have steady employment
in bright, clean plant where the manage
ment is constantly striving to improve the
already pleasant and hea!thful surround
ings. Th,r work is most interesting and
the amount Of their income depends almost
entirely upon the attention and application
they give to their work
The interviewer Mills in Martinsburg is
the largest plant in the whole world that Il
devoted entirely to the manufacture OF
high grade hosiery for men. To be a part
Of such an institution is not only profitable
but distinction Of which all Of the nearly
two thousand employees might very well be
proud
One feature about these positions is that
the inexperienced girls are paid while they
are learning the WOrk-that means they
have an immediate income And the man
agement assists them so much in learning
that 1t is only matter Of a very few weeks
before the girls know their work and are
earning enough to make them independent.
pendent?
For the girls who do not have place in
Martinsburg to live, the interviewer Mills
have provided a delightful dormitory or
home, under the personal care Of an eX-
perienced woman, where the girls enjoy all
the attention and comforts Of home Many
girls are now living there, at very small
cost, and there is plenty of room for more.
These are the times when the girl who
makes herself independent, commands the
respect Of everybody,

WAR IN ENGLAND
Torch Is Applied to Many Liver
pool Buildings.
BURNS IL BIG WAREHOUSES;
Many Other Structures, Including Five
Lumber Yards, Are Destroyed by
the Flames-GoVernment Re-
news War Precautions.

Liverpool, Nov. 29.-Twelve Gotten
were burned in program of destruc-
ton in this city, all believed to have
been engineered by the Sim Feiners.
The police, while rushing to the
fires, were attacked by band of men.
Shots were fired but no casualties
were reported. A civilian, Daniel
Ward, caused the police to believe he
was assisting in the arson outbreak
and he was shot dead.
Seventeen persons were overcome
by smoke and fumes during the morn
ing. The frebugs worked with thor
Oughness. With special apparatus they
cut or burned out the locks and bolts
of the warehouses and poured gasO-
line on the stocks. Four men were
captured.
Warehouses are burning In Spar
ling, Pabley and Jordan streets. There
are five timber yard blazes in Vulcan
street and Barnfield Lane.
In the suburb of BoOtle are incen-
diary outbreaks at six different places.
The firemen of all neighborirg
towns have been called in to assist
local forces.
Renew War Precautions.
London, Nov. 29.-London and other
big English cities are grimly prepar
ing to meet conditions of domestic
warfare.
Red lights on the night barbados
in Whitehall lend a sinister aspect to
the official "heart of the empire"
menaced by the twin dangers of Sim
Fein Outrages and the possibility of
Bolshevist disturbances.
General Norwood threw up the de-
lenses in Downing street and around
the houses of parliament and other
public buildings as the result of seiz-
ure of important documents.
These documents had hardly been
read when the defense of the minis
terial offices was proclaimed, as the
papers disclosed plans to attack the
ministry and wreck historic govern
ment edifices.
Irish and Unemployed.
There is no reason to doubt that
the defenses have been erected pri-
marily as a protection against Irish
gunner, but they incidentally enable
the police to deal more efficiently
with the grave problems of London's
huge army of unemployed.
The present arrangement blocks
free access to the residences of Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Bonar Law,
as we'll as to the foreign Office, the
Indian Office, the Board of Public
Works and the education office,
though visitors with satisfactory Gre
dentials are allowed to pass, the bar
riers being thrown down only in the
event of a surprise attack.
Within the beleaguered area direct
telephone communication has been es-
tablished with the police and the mill
tary.
At the Irish office nearby the door
is chained, barred and guarded by
five hall porters, all former soldiers.
One was in Dublin castle in the 1916
rebellion and knows most of the

EASTERN WOODEN MILLS
REOPEN FOR BUSINESS
Employees of Massachusetts Plants
Are Taken Back at Reduc-
ton in Wages.

Holden. Mass, Nov. 30.-The Jeffer-
son and Eagle Lake wooden mills
which have been closed five days, re-
opened under an average 10 per cent
reduction in their wage scales. 1t
was announced that all the employees
reported for work.
Toledo, o. Nov. decentralization
of large eastern orders. coupled with
business conditions in general, was
given as the reason for the closing OF
the garment plant of the Cohen, Fried
lander & Martin company, here.
st. Louis, Nov. 3O.-The tendency OF
business during the last 80 days has
been to slow down, with the readjust-
ment movement gaining considerably
in momentum, according TO the
monthly report of the Eighth federal
district.
The purchasing public is economic
ing, the report states, and price reduc-
tions in various lines have not pro
duced the volume of business that
might have been expected.
Slowing down in manufacturing and
general industry is reported to have
brought considerable reduction in Cp
Grating forces, and consequent sur
plus of labor in virtually all lines.
The report states, however, that
"wage reductions to date are insight
icant." and that "there are fewer
StrilyeS in nrOUrpSS than at AnV time
this year"

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 30.-Fred-
erick W. French, assistant cashier of
the City Trust & Savings bank, con-
fessed that he had embezzled between
100000 and 100000 of the banks
funds.
The confession marks the end of a
dream of financial conquest through
which he hoped to establish fortune
comparable to that of the Morgans,
the DuPonts or the Rockefellers.

fort extending over ten years to pay
back the first $400 he stole while still

1t is interesting to note how
many auto dealers throughout the
country are endeavoring to eX-
pain why there will be no reduc-
ton in the price of autos before
July lst Mt the earliest and max
ing various assertions and claims
| in an effort to sustain their high
prices.
The inconsistency of these claims
are evident where one gets the
right slant on the auto and trcct-
or industry. The statement has
! been made that the, reason OF
some factories cutting their price
was on account of Stacking up of
| safes, and the factories trying to
unload their surplus stock, and
| further, that the cut OF prices was
not really "cut," but cheapen-
| ing of the product.
We would like to explain how
and why the Ford Motor company
"cut the price" on Ford products
and without cutting either the
quality or the present wage scale.
First--the Ford Motor company
had no surplus stock to unload
nor have their sales been falling
off, the fact is. their output mas
steadily creased and today +. is
larger than ever. The cJlims made
by some dealers for reduction Of
price is on account of being over
loaded with stock. or reduction

OPPOSITION TO
DAYLIGHT SAVING
Farmers of Hampden County Do Not
Want Work In Dew of
Early Morning.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Feb. l2.-Day-
light saving is bitterly opposed in an
swers to QUESTIONABLE sent to the
farmers Of this section by the Hampden
County Improvement league. Farmers
agree that the chief objection is that
dew in the morning delays the beginning
of work.
The farmer. however. claims that he
is obliged to pay for the loss of time
which is charged to the consumer in the
marketing of farm produce. Tobacco
growers report the loss of thousands of
dollars from the pole sweat OF tobacco,
which has to be carried into the sheds be
fore it is dry
Milk production, it is asserted, is ma
terially reduced under daylight saving
which necessitates a change in the hours
Of milking. The cows have to be driven
to the stables earlier in the afternoon
and lose an hour in feeding in the cool OF
the day.
A poultry man claims that he has tC
wake his hens up in the morning, a
they do not 90 to roost until 9 o'clock al
night
A Granville farmer will not plant a,
many crops as last year owing to his i'll
ability to obtain full value for the hour;
his hired men work. County children at
tending high school in Springfield find i
necessary to arise at } a. IN. to reacl
school on time. Moreover. children d.
not retire any earlier as daylight woul'
prevent them from going to sleep.
