No Place for Personalities,

Two doughboys, one white and one
black, were hopelessly lost out in No
Mans land. After darkness had fallen
the white soldier cautiously stuck his
head over the edge Of the shell hole
to take a look.
"Whatcher see, boss?" inquired the
other.
"You can't see your hand before
your face, it's so dark"
"Look-a-here now, white man." ex-
postuated the negro. "Dis amt no
time for personalities. All amt askin'
you what All KANT see; Abs askin'
you what you can see. "--American

Some Of the farmers Of Kansas,

strike" against the low price Of
wheat on the Chicago board of trade.
Following the instructions of their or
ganizatlOn leaders, they are withhold
ing their wheat from the market, and
The effect Of decreased receipts began
10 be felt nc once. In the vicinity Of
Wichita, Kan, farmers picketed the
roads urging those on their way to the
elevators to turn back.
The wheat raisers Of Iowa were
urged to take part in the Strike by
i. 4. Cunningham, secretary Of the
state farm bureau, who said the Iowa
wheat crop cost SlSS a bushel to hdr-
vyst and the oats crop cost 70 cents q
bushel He blamed manipulation for
the recent sharp declines in prices Of
grain. There is no justification for
the tremendous break in the market

THE si>~ation cannot become more

nothing more than to add 10 the ser'

The farmers are asked by Mr.. Cum

Farmers complain that they have to
pay high rates to borrow money to

II Is generally understood that mime
diately after the November elections
the women everywhere will begin TO
ask for places of trust, If not of profit,
in the service of their government
Privately many of the men politicians
frOwn on this new manifestation. but
they admit that publicly the. will have
to recognize the right Of women to IN
sst on their share of the appointive
offices. In the near future, ii is pre-
dicted, the women will insist on and
obtain their share of thu elective of
fees.
The outgoing administration here at
Washington has shown an inclination
TO recognize the women without de-
lay. The new President, whoever he
may be, will have to take notice of
the precedent set by his PREDECESSOR.
The three important appointive
places now held by women here are
assistant to the attorney general, mem
Der of the civil service commission,
and member of the board of commits
siOnerS for the District of Columbia.
The District cOmmiSsionership TO
which Hiss Mabel Boardman was re-
Gently appointed. will, It is generally
predicted offer n genuine opportun-
ity to test the ability Of n woman 10
administer the affairs of an important
office The district is governed by
board of three commissioners, two Of
whom are appointed from civil life by
the President and one Of whom is de-
tailed from the army
Governing Capital Big Task.
Governing the capital of the nation
IS no unimportant task. The District
of Columbia and the city 0 Washing
ton, in very real sense belong 10
the people of the whole country, and
so 1t is that the government of the
District is subject to a considerable
extent to the scrutiny of the whole
people through their representatives
in congress.
Miss Boardman brings to the office
TO which she has been appointed years
of experience as an administrative Of
ficer of the American Red Cross. To
her more than any other one person
belongs the credit for the reOrganiza-
tion of the Red Cross, following the
retirement of Clara Barton as the head
of the organization. She was seCre-
tary of the Red Cross at the time of
her appointment as District commits
Sioner
Miss Boardman believes that women
should prepare themselves to take
their share of civic responsibilities and
for certain degree of official service.
81 believe that this official service will
be more apt to function in municipal
than in federal government said she
i'm discussing the future responsible
titles of women. municipal affairs
have closer and more immediate
contact with the home in certain Of
their phases. Matters of public health,
schools, Fairgrounds, markets, and
charities are all questions in which
women are greatly interested. Their
own experiences and training, espe-
cially when the questions concern
their families and their children, will
make their service of value to the
community"
For Disabled Women Also.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1920-11-04
For Disabled Women, Also.

Any woman, no matter what her
work in life, may receive training
for a new occupation, if she be-
comes inCapacitated for carrying ON
her former occupation. She has only
to apply to the state board for voca-
ti0nal education in states which are
cooperating with the federal govern
ment The state boards administer the
terms of the industrial rehabilitation
act, but they must submit plans annu-
ally for the approval of the federal
board at Washington.
The interesting question is" SAID
Lewis H. Carris, assistant director for
Industrial rehabilitation, federal board
for vocational education, "hOw many
women will need rehabilitation? The
law applies to all persons, men and
women, whether working for wage
or not, who need TO be returned to a
useful occupation. 1t applies to wom-
en- In the hazardous occupations of In
dustry. 1t also applies to women In
the home"
The 1910 census showed more than
25,0O0000 women not engaged in wage
earning, but probably busy in their
own homes. A woman accustomed to
doing her own cooking sweeping and
washing may injure her back so that
she cannot continue such heavy work.
She may then receive training in some
trade which requires only the use of
her hands and earn the money to pay
somebody else to do her homework.
The statlsticians dealing with this
subject classify accidents as Industrial,
or those arising out Of industry or EN-
ployment; home, or those occurring in
and around the home; and public, or
those met in public places. They
roughly estimate that One-half of all
fatal accidents are public accidents;
one-fourth, industrial and one-fOurth
in the home, and say that of the $4,000
accidental deaths in the United States
| annually only one-fourth are females,
Accident insurance and workmen's
compensation experience show that
there are approximately 125 nonfatal
but more or less disabling injuries to
every fatal injury. 1t seems possible
that women suffer as many accidents
I'm the home as men. They would prob
ably suffer fewer accidents in public
places because they travel about less.
| Women in industry are a tremendous
! ly increasing number.
Mrs Anna Lalor Burdick, agent OF
the federal board for vocational train
ing for girls and women, says In her
| 10l9-1020 annual report that today
there are approximately 100000
women engaged in mechanical and
manufacturing pursuits. The report
states further that the increase in the
number of women workers In the diff
ferent Industries since 1916 is reported
as follows Iron and steel, 40 per cent
automobile. 300 per cent; instrument
making, 200 per cent; woodworking,
100 per cent.
