BLAME RACE
SUICIDE UPON

Women, Says Physician, Won't
Do Own Work and Rear
Children Also

Chicago, April 23.-Race suicide
among the upper classes in Chicago IS
traceable directly in, part at least to
the servant problem says DR.. Charles
Cardock, children's specialist.
1T is serious problem" said the
physician last night. at is not said
the women do not want babies-they
do want them just as women always
have. 1t is that under present condi-
tions they don't feel able to raise
children and do their own work And
they cannot get servants for love or
money"
The doctor was asked whether the
effects are seen among working peo-
pie.
"Not in the same way, perhaps" he
replied. women who always have
done their own work may be bearing
children at the usual rate-but any
thing that makes them work too hard
will show in the lessened care and
strength they can give to their chill
dren."
What is the answer" the doctor
was asked.
Frankly, the only one I know is
that the women who have been accus.
toned to servants must live more
simply and do their own work" And
after a moment he added, "That
wouldn't be bad thing -

ARMY GRADUATES
WANTED TO FILL
TRACTOR JOBS
Big Demand for Men Who Have
Learned How to Operate
Machines

A large tractor company of Peoria
ILL.,, is calling for graduates OF the
army school to operate the tractors
they are placing in large numbers
among the farmers, as the demand for
qualified operators Is greater than the
supply.
The army is training thousands Of
tractor operators The majority Of
these men enlisted to secure this
training, and are putting their best
efforts into this work, with the idea
of fitting themselves for good posi-
'tions when they return to civil life.
Most of them are young men who are
eager to learn and willing to work.
The courses include, driving
oiling. repairs. gas engines,
carburation, ignition, etc. The
instruction is conducted by men
especially fitted for this work. The
courses combine theory with practice
and ample instruction equipment is
provided to permit the men to apply
each days work at once. The ma
chimes that are broken by the stu
dents during their training are sup
piled with spare parts that are fitted
and adjusted under supervision by
the students. The result is they
develop into we'll trained experienced
mechanics who can operate any trac
tor that is built.

sheriff of Crawford co, Kansas. ,
Webb is the sheriff who let
Alexander Howat, president of the
mine workers in the southwestern
Nansas coal fields. come out on the
balcony of the Jail at Girard and
make a speech to a crowd of two or
;iree thousand miners who had
aockec in from the camps.
, Howat called Governor Allen a
skunk, brute and tyrant, denounc-
I'd District Judge A. j. Curran, who
committed him to Jail until he should
ogree to testify before the Industrial
'ourt, and called members of the latter

Webb awoke next day to find him
elf the storm center of the maddest
community in the United States and

\ A Queer Jai'--8ut Real One
The jail over which he has presi-
ded is an old brick dwelling, with
a certain air of better days still
hanging around it. 1t is so frail that
it@had to be reinforced with concrete
to keep it from falling down, but the
rear part is said to be lined with
steel, and the sheriff claims he has
never lost prisoner out Of it. ~
And Sheriff Webb does not look
like the conventional jailer either. He
is long and lanky, with mild blue
eyes and "a >drooping blond mustache.
md he likes to sit in the old parlor
with his chair tilted against the wall,
raging fire in the huge iron stove
on one side of him and cuspidor
on the other.

since he was a boy Webb said to
me the day after the miners leader
was locked up. There was "a certain
embarrassment in the manner of
both men when the sheriff turned
the huge keys on his prisoner Webb
protests that he had no idea of doing
anything out of >the way in permit
ting Howat to get out and address
the crowd 49,
He is apparently genuinely surpris-
ed. hurt and worried over the general
objection to his idea of what oonsti-
tutes keeping a man in Jail.
. Howat Runs True. to Form
Meanwhile Howat, arrested for
ignoring a summons of the Kansas in
dustrial court, is running true to form,
both his friends and enemies say. :
Howat is now out on bond.
Howat is leading fight against
the industrial court which established
an act declaring strikes illegal. He
refuses to recognize the court \ ~t
' Federal officers who raided com
munist headquarters in Omaha and
Chicago, found Howats receipts. But
Howat was reelected president.
Now ,Howat is fighting the law of
Kansas. He has called every strike

said when the men could 60 back to

AT this time of car shortage we arc
asking the cooperation of the public.

Fargo, April 23.--The minimum
wage board, which has been in ses-
sion in Fargo since Tuesday, yester-
day afternoon began it's consideration
of minimum wage for women help
in offices after devoting the morning
session largely to the adopting of a
general sanitary code for all classes
of women employees.
The recommendation of $3.50 as
the minimum wage for mattresses in
hotels, restaurants, cafes, cafeterias
and soda fountains, agreed upon by
the state wage board yesterday morn
ing, was late yesterday afternoon
ADOPTED by a vote Of the board and
is expected to be the minimum wage
for this particular classification of
help to be established by the state
minimum wage commission.
Nine Hour Limit
The adoption of a schedule of hours
for mattresses in towns less than 500
population, prescribing that no one
shall be compelled to work more than
nine hours day nor more than So
hours week in such towns, was
another feature of the boards work
before it dissolved. The board recon-
mended to- the state minimum wage

adopts the recommendation of the
wage board. If board is furnished the
weekly pay will be $1O.5O for cham
bermaids and 1910 for kitchen girls.

OmmendatiOn was that the wage be
set at IS and $720 in the respective
cases. If only lodging is provided a
wage of $15 for chambermaids and
$1420 for kitchen girls was recon-
r,ended.
Apprentices wages
A provision in the schedule adopt
ed provides also for wages of ap-
prentices in these classes-$14 week
for the first two months and SIG for
the next two months. without board
and room The schedule provides
that in no case can an employer keep
his help serving as an apprentice
longer than four months or to keep
more than 25 per cent of his help in
the apprentice class at any one time.
A weeks work will be 36 to 48 hours,
this being adopted to preclude at
tempts to lower wages by employing
girls ana women by the hour and thus
reducing their weekly wage.
