Blocking the Road.

Several road supervisors of the
county have requested the Post-Dis-
patch TO call TO the attention of the
bird hunters the fact that they are
hindering the road dragging when
they leave their cars parked beside
the roads. Many hunters leave their
cars for hours on a stretch, in the
road, and thereby prevent the load
forces from dragging them properly.
Be little considcrate, you pot hun

EXPORT TRADE
Is PICKING UP
Figures Show Steady Gains are Be-
ing Made I'm Americas Foreign
Business.

New York, Aug. 31.-America's
foreign trade is reviving.
Exports from the United States
hit the bottom of depression in
April. Since then, they have been
cIimbing-slowly but surely.
The gain is in physical volume
more bushels of wheat, more tons
of machinery, etc.
Total money value of exports
continues declining, because prices
have not stopped falling.
But export tonnage began to in
crease in May. So say the experts,
including Frederick Todd, secre-
tary of the First Federal Foreign
Banking association, 40 Wall street
Big July Gain.
Exports of agricultural products
during July showed big gains over
July, 1920. Here are some OF
them:

August is expected to show

But Europe as a whole is taking

ports, for the first time in his

THE key to the whole situation
as one big exporter puts it, sis that

LADY RHONDDA ENGLANDS BIGGEST BUSINESS
WOMAN SOLVES PROBLEM OF 100000 SPINSTERS;
MUST BE GIVEN EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK"
By MILTON BOOMER

London, Aug. 31.-The biggest
business woman in Great Britain,
yiscountees Rhondda, has the solu-
ton for the problem confronting
Englands 2,o00, 600 spinsters. In a
lline it's:
| Equal pay for equal work"
Only by giving these women the
fullest equality with men in bust
ness, says Lady Rhondda, can the
nation meet the situation precfp-
tated by the war, which left the
country with 1000 900 more women
than nen-women without any
hope of marriage.
Lady Rhondda is a director in SO
corporations and entirely in con-
troll of a good MANIFESTED, iron,
coal and steamship concerns.
But these are only part OF her in
terests
When the women of Great Bril-
tain were fighting for the vote, she
was one of the militants who led
the campaigns and were arrested
and jailed.
AS a pal and confidante of her
father, who at that time was sim
ply ID. A Thomas, she accompanied
him on an important war mission
to America They were on the
Lusitania when it was sunk by the
Germans, and both had a miracu-
lous escape from death.
She yields an able pen whose
force is often felt in the femin'
journal, Thine and Tide" and she
is now engaged on a biography of
her late father.
Surplus of Women.
Unless. these 100000 women
without a chance to wed, want to
sponge on others, they must go out
to earn their own livelihood" said
Lady Rhondda.
The woman who has the brains
and the ability must have just as
good a chance as man and must
have just as fat pay check in her
pay envelope.
Even where woman has as
much ability as a man, or even
more, she is handicapped today, by
old customs and prejudices.
This will change radically when
big business men treat their own
as they do their sons.
When men train their daughters
to share the business with them
and to carry it on after their re
tirement or death, a new era will
have begun for women.
THAT is how l got into business.
My father had only one child, so he
began early to train me to carry on
the business. / became his conf
dante, his pal. even in a way his
adviser.
