Pin Money Propositions

THERE are women in every con- pin money by some means that will not interfere with their home duties. In the larger cities there are "short hour" women employed in the shops, with hours from eleven in the morn ing until three or four in the after noon, who find they can manage their household affairs and go to business too. But their homes are usually small and convenient apartments in which hOuseWork is reduced to a minimum of effort. The same Oppor- tunitieS do not come to women in the smaller towns and villages or on the farms In the larger communities also there are opportunities of mel- chandising in a small way. Some women, familiar with millinery, do a thrifty little business in the spring and fall of the year, buying and sell ing hats which they display in their own homes. Waists and neckWear prove worth while for others. A busi- ness of this kind is usually conducted by women who have had experience in a store at some time.
 About the most salable of all things are good foods Women who excel in any direction, as in making bread or cake or preserves, jams, pickles, or in canning fruits, have an opportunity to build up permanent source of in- come if they can introduce and mar ket their products. Many of them are using the parcels post for shipping di- rect from country to city. The first requisite is to gather together a few customers, and this must be done either through solicitation by mail or by personal solicitatio A friend will sometimes undertake to place farm products among her acquaintances in the city, and after the producer gets in touch with few regular customers these can be asked to recommend commodities to their friends. Pre- serves, jams and pickles, being less perishable than fresh fruits and more profitable, ought to prove interesting prospects to women who excel in mak- ing them.
 Women who live near the main travelled roads used by motorcar tour ists often pick up considerable money during Che summer months selling all sorts of eatables to the passers by. A signpost at the side of the road di- rects the hungry and thirsty motor party to the wayside refreshments. Sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, bread and butter, doughnuts and cookies are conveniently handled. Women who find themselves near summer camps for boys or girls can usually arrange

 Besides these usual means of pick ing up pin money there are opportu- mites for women who own and drive cars: In summer and winter resorts
 they get together sightseeing parties
 and take them on short motor trips
 that yield a pretty profit, or they es tablish regular trip carrying people
 to and from certain points. Women
 have proved themselves quite equal to
 driving motorcars in all parts of the country. Some young women have a
 very happy faculty for entertaining children. They undertake to look after a number of little ones one or two afternoons in each week. releaS-
 ing mothers from their care for a
 brief time. The children must be brought to the home of their enter tainer and called for. She provides for their amusement and gives them
 any attention they may need, for fee By looking after a number of them regularly the income is worth while, Some women and girls are success ful in soliciting subscriptions to peri odicals and books. Some do well sell ing merchandise, as stockings, corsets,
 embroideries, among their friends. In considering the matter of making pin money it is necessary first to take stock of ones accomplishments to de- termine what work is easy to excel in. Women who know how to plan all the details for entertainments, luncheons, dinners and parties are in demand in thickly settled communities and many

Fletcher Doesn't Trust Mexico

Warning against premature rec ognition of the new Mexican govern ment has been given the administra- tion by Henry P. Fletcher, former am- bassador to Mexico. In a letter to Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state, he urges that in no case should the recognition of the De la Huerta regime be other than that of a de facto character with the understand ing that even this would be withdrawn should subsequent events prove that it was prematurely extended.
 Mr. F1etcher's letter resulted from negotiations now in progress between the state department and Dr. Iglesias Calderon, Mexican high commissioner to the United States, regarding recOg- milton of the new government at Mex ico City.
 Dr. Iglesias Calderon has assured the American government of the de- sire of the new regime to live up to the obligations of a government, but

Seventy Years the Limit.

The conference over the retirement
bill, blockaded for Il short time by a
disagreement between the House and
Senate representatives over the age
question, has reached Il settlement The
Senate age limit of seventy years has
been accepted. This decision, which
should quickly lead to final enactment.
is founded on the sound principle that
the age of actual approximation is
relative. Many men at sixty-tve are
perfectly competent to continue an
active career, more so than some ut
sixty. The chanres of competence are
greater at sixty five than at seventy.
1t is probable that some men ut seventy
will be retired under this act who are
still capable of rendering good service,
and they may have to leave perhaps
against their will, and against the
judgment Of those supervising their
work. This wastage, however, is sure
to be much less under the provision
now agreed upon than under the limit
fixed by the House.

The Laws Long Arm.

A man arrested at Camden, n. j.,
has beer identified, it is now reported,
as one OF the gang that robbed and
killed at the Sandy Spring Bank re-
Gently. This is most gratifying de-
rclopmcnt of the pursuit of these
criminals, who got away from the sceEe
of their crime in circumstances to
leave but little chance for their de-
lection. If through this one arrest and
identification other members of the
gang are caught the police will have
scored distinct triumph.
This case illustrates the value of
close relationship between the police
of the different states. There is most
effective cooperative organization
covering all jurisdictions. A criminal
who fees over a state boundary does
not gain protection thereby. Thanks
to the telegraph and the telephone an
alarm can be sent quickly in all di-
rections for indefinite distances, and
the police powers Of the entire coun-
try are enlisted in the pursuit and
search.
The truth is that crime is losing
game. Very few lawbrcakers escape.

The Vice Presidency.

Neither party need fear failure
about getting strong man for the
second place on the national ticket.
1t has but to give the word. The
kings invitation is a command. The
| man who declines or neglects it never
appears at court again. In royal cir
cles his name is Denis from that day.
So with the politician who should
decline a nomination to the vice presi-
dency, which would be a party COM
mand. His name would be Denis from
that day. His place in party esteem
would know him no more forever.
Take the case as respects party pol
icy. In 1876 Samuel j. Tilden stood
for sound money and Thomas A. Hen
bricks for greenbackism, the forerun-
ner of free silver. They contested for
the democratic nomination for Presi-
dent, and Mr.. Tilden won on a sound
money platform. Mr.. Hendricks was
nominated for Vice President, and
accepted under pressure.
Take the case as respects personal
pride. Thomas A. Hendricks and Al
len G. Thurman were political figures
of presidential size and aspirations
when Grover Cleveland was sheriff of
Erie county, n. Y, and without
thought of a political career. And yet,
under party command, both Mr..
Hendricks and Judge Thurman-the
former in 1854, and the latter in 1855
ran for second place on a ticket with
Mr.. Cleveland.
Take the case as respects party fac
tionism Mr.. Blaine had been an OPP
ponent, Gen. John A. Logan men,
Der, Of the Grant wing Of the repub-
lican party for years. Besides, they
were not on cordial terms personally.
And yet, in 1884, under party pressure,
Gen. Logan, who was always a stanch
party man, accepted second place on
the ticket with Mr.. Blaine; and the
ticket lost by only a scratch.
A party, especially in a presidential
year, expects, and in effect commands,
every member to do his duty as the
party sees it.

II was pointed out at the House com
mittce hearing that the only way to
cure this condition and to insure n
full public access to the space in front
of the building is for the United States
to regain possession of it by condemna-
ton or some other legislative enact
ment that will withstand court scru-
tiny. Senator Frances amendment will
not accomplish the desired result of
giving general access to the station
front unless it is accompanied by
provision of this character.
The loggia at the southwest corner
of the station building, which is the
receiving and delivering point OF the
taxicahs, is regarded in the law as
part of the building, and it is doubt
full whether condemnation of the street
space in front of the station would
open this virtually inclosed area wholly
to public use. At present vehicles not
of the Terminal Taxicab Company's
service can enter that space only to
discharge passengers and cannot use
it for taking on fares. 1t is difficult
to see how any legislation can be
framed to change this arrangement.
The whole Union station condition is
most unsatisfactory, and it is highly
desirable that legislation be had to
correct it and to give the District gov

ment. unqucstioned jurisdiction over
the control Of the traffic il front of

Union Station Traffic.

An amendment was introduced to
the sundry civil bill yesterday by Sen
ator France designed to end the mo-
nopoly of automobile space at the
Union station, by authorizing all taxi
cab companies and private auto own
crs to use that area. IL was recently
brought out in Il hearing before the
House District committee on the traf-
fc court bill that the space in front
of the Union station AS far as the
south curb belongs to TIE Washington
Terminal Company by virtue Of an
act of Congress.
\ This space is absolutely under the
cSntrol of the Terminal Company.
Public use of il is by the company's
consent. Even the street car tracks
are there on the same terms. Court
decisions have been based on this fact
to the end of confirming a virtual mo.

The Treaty.

Setting out on his travels last yeal
to explain and recommend the peace
treaty as he had submitted it to the
Senate, the President Travelled west
going as far as the Pacific coast. He
was received with cntl.t:> iasm every
where, and addressed crowds of enor-
nous size. He and his supporters were
greatly hcartcncd. hey gathered
from the demonstrations iull approval
of the Presidents work ii Paris, and
expected an overwhelming effect on
the Senate in the treaty's favor.
They were disappointed. The Senate
remained uninfuenced. and continued
to discuss reservations to the treaty.
Reservations were finally adopted, but
not by vote sufficiently large to Sc
cure the ratification Of the amended
pact.
Nowhere on his journey was the
President more cordially greeted than
in California. The people poured out
to meet him, applauded all he said, and
sent him on his way rejoicing. Great
things were expected of the state when
the showdown in the Senate came.
Again there was disappointment. Sen
ator johnson, the leader of the bitter
enders on the republican side. became
bitterer than ever, and ended by vot
ing against the ratification of the
treaty. He would not accept it even
with reservations.
The other day the difference between
California as host to the President and
California in her attitude toward the
peace treaty was plainly SHOWN. 1t a
primary. with the treaty the issue. and
Senator johnson up for Endorsement
for the Chicago nomination, the senator
carried things like whirlwind. Even
the vote for Mr.. Hoover, which was
large in the circumstances, was not

for reservations to the treaty.

duced nothing but what all alike,

deplore-his physical collapse.
