NEW YORK. October s.-Indica

financial markets this week were
most definitely expressed in a SUBJ

CLERICAL WORK

nURING the war women went into
- railroad work in large numbers,
and took over jobs that were unsuited
to them, because the need was there
to be filled. Since peace has come
they have left these positions. But
many women are still working for the
railroads in clerical positions and they
are liked for the work. The salaries
arc good, and the treatment of the
women is said to be excellent. Where
these are required the railroads have
provided rest and lunch rooms. and
there are matrons whose business it is
to see that the women are comfortably
situated and cared for.
In the banks too. women are going
more and more into clerical work.

HAED-WORKING MOUSE

AS the crowd next to the window

mouse which was the temporary resi-

At the top of the cage was sort Of

with bits of cotton. Below in the floor
of the cage was feeding box and in

did so the disk would begin to revolve.
The faster he ran, in his attempt to
climb, the faster the disk would re-
volve, with the mouse always at the
bottom.
For three or four minutes at a time
the mouse would run as fast as he
could. A human being running as
fast as that mouse, in proportion to
his size and weight. would have gone
ten or twelve miles at marvellous
rate of speed.
