BY DOROTHY DIX
WssaA's Highest Paid Woman "


| A very rich man, who. beginning
with the proverbial shoestring, has
converted it into a cable that reaches
around the world, said to me the other
day:
1t used to be the prodigaI sons who
| turned their parents hair gray with
worry. In these times it's the strenu-
Gus daughters who keep US awake at
night wondering how we are going to
keep them at home.
Take my case for example. have
| just one chick in the world, and all
these years that 1 have been toiling,
and moiling, and laying up money, the
chlef thing that I thought about was
that l was going to be able to pad
her life with luxury, and that she
would never have to work as her
mother and I had to do when we were
young Well, I've given that girl
money, and motors, and fine houses
and fine clothes; everything she
OF all.
And that's work. She hates So
| ciety. Going to parties and dancing
bores her stiff. She even looks on
marriage as man does-an accident
that is liable to happen to you if you
aren't careful and don't watch your
step, but that you needn't be foolhardy
enough to rush into.
mo. What Betty clamors for is
work. She demands that I take her
into my Orlce, or set her up in bust
ness just as I would do if she had been
| a boy instead of a girl, and I don't
know what to do about it. 1t breaks
her mother and me all up, especially
her mother. who had looked forward
to having a pretty daughter to dress
up and show off, somebody who would
take a real heart interest in shopping
with her, and have romantic con-
fidenceS to whisper to her and who
would be embroidering doodads for
her hope-chest.
"And here's a young person who
says frankly that if she thought she
had to spend the balance of her life
trotting around to teas, and convers-
ing with the feeble minded who fire.
quent such places, she would commit
suicide at once, because she prefers a
swift, short agony to the slow torture
of being bored to death. Here's girl
who prefers reading the stock marks,
to Robert Chambers, and who envies
the girl who has got a job more than
the one who is going to marry a mil
lionaire who has given her a hundred
thousand dollar pearl necklace.
TITS ridiculous for a girl. situated
like my daughter is, TO go to work. Yet
what am 1 going to do about it?'
Il do not believe any girl should
work outside of her home unless it is
absolutely necessary said another
man. "A woman's place is in the
home"

1t is reported that the Ann Arbor
railroad recently proposed to its men
in the mechanical and car depart
ment forces that it must either reduce
working hours to seven hours per day
six days in the week, or eight hours
per day five days in the week. This
proposition was put up to the various
shop crafts by the general manager
and the question was put to vote,
whether to adopt this method of
keeping all employed some of the
time, or to cut off completely and
throw out of employment all of the
time one-eighth of the working force.
The result of this vote was against the
cutting down of hours of labor thru
out the whole force and in favor of
throwing out of employment the one
eighth. This action of labor seems
strange, in view of the fact that there
is almost constant agitation among
the unions for shorter hours in or
der. they maintain. that more per-
sons may have work.

srEADIER PRICES IN SIGHT.

While index numbers for the month
of January show a somewhat further
decline in prices of commodities, says
it is evident that the downward move
ment has been arrested and that the
declines that are now occurring are
merely for the sake of evening up the
price situation and putting commodi-
ties upon a fairly well equalized level.
If the view of Mr.. Clews be correct
the situation which hey described
should be encouraging to the business
men of the country. Sterilization of
prices is one of the greatest present
day needs. People will not buy be-
yond the most pressing needs on Il
falling market.
Continuing. Mr.. C1ews says:
Retail prices have continued to
show considerable notifications and
this more favorable state of affairs
has been coupled with a better out
look in business and employment.
The demand for labor is distinctly on
the increase, especially in those indus
tries where wage adjustments have
been completed, as for example, in the
textile Held.
Unfavorable railroad earnings have
necessitated an effort to obtain re-
adjustment of wages in that field.
managers believing that only by low
ering freight rates can they obtain
the volume of traffic that is necessary.
There is no definite indication thus
far of the outcome, but the situation
turnout the country evidently points
to a wage reimbursement of general
scope. This should be beneficial to
business.
Since the railroads obtained an ad-
vance in rates to enable them, as set
forth in their application, to pay the
Increased wages of their employees, it
seems entirely proper that if wages
come down. freight rates also should
descend.
The shippers, the producers and the
consumers are bearing the burden of
high wages and high freight rates.
with the result that the business of
the roads has fallen off until idle cars
number upwards of 100000. Live
stock producers are asking for re-
duction of rates. declaring that their
business is being carried on at a heavy
loss.

ON THE HUMAN SIDE OF GREATNESS.
NY boy and l were walking yesterday
And met a great man known to worldly
fame.
He smiled upon the lad and asked his
name.
Talked of the sports the youngster loves to
play
And stroked his head in my familiar way.
And wished his son had such a sturdy
frame;
Listened TO all the young lips had to say
As tho from them rich pearls of wisdom
came
When he had said goodbye and wandered
on,
saw the boys eyes follow him. and
then:

The position Of Judge Lindsey, who
says he will go to Jail before he obeys
the law. is meeting with both praise
and condemnation. IT should be
taken into consideration, however,
that the judge is not questioning the
justice of the law nor is he defying
it on his own account. He merely
is actuated by a sense of loyalty to a
third party. He is human before he
is a Judge.

Rule No. of the labor agreements
which the railroads are seeking to
have abrogated. provides: "A1l over
time outside of bulletin hours, up TO
and including the sixteenth hour of
service in any one twenty-four hour
period, computed from the starting
time of the employees regular shift,
shall be paid for at the rate of time
and one-half. and thereafter at the
rate of double time, up to the starting
time of the employees regular shift"
The railroads object to this rule, not
they say that they are unwilling to
pay for overtime. but because the rule
as written covers a variety of condi-
lions for which overtime pay is not
warranted. Among the examples of
how the rule works they cite that a
