Lumber Barons Hire Women for Toters
Carry More Than Men, They Claim,
 as Reason for Favoritism.

Women carrying lumber is depicted ir a pamphlet Health Problems of Womer in Industry, issued by the women's bur- eau of the department of labor.
 Under the picture is this information "One employer said he preferred women to men because women always carried two blanks at once if theyscould possibly manage it.'
 The pamphlet makes this reference tc conditions under which many mothers are forced to live:
 Long hours in the factory are not as serious for the men, who is through work when he leaves his job at night, as they are for women who has often several hours of housework to do after she gets home. The married woman in industry who is forced to work because of eco- homie necessity brought about by her husbands death, incapacity or inability to earn an adequate wage for himself and his family, must usually take what ever job she can get without much ques- tion of wages or hours.
 But she is the one worker in all the group who must need the protection of the law, for the care of her children and household will take many hours and much strength, and her health will suffer if hours of work are not limited"

ApplVo' WUEe Uulllllls a cold evening my mother wouldn't be afraid I'd get my hair wet and catch cold because she knew how far down I'd dive into the tub of water!
 And we all did the same. The girls more thar the boys did and they cer tatn1y could dive with their hair all held in so dry and safe by their caps.
 '"Then we would play games and one Of our faVOrlte games was to run races carrying peanuts on knives.
 ''Two would race against each other at a time. The end of the race would be a big bowl set on the floor and we would start off at the other end Of the room.
 ''Then we would each have a lot of peanuts and we would carry as many as we could on our knife until we had gotten rid of all of them.
 "We had to take all the peanuts to the bowl without letting any drop off,
 Ut was most exciting, for though none of the other children could push us or joggle us they could make funny remarks to us and we would start laughing and sometimes our knife would shake and we'd drop the pea nuts and have to start all over again.
 Sometimes we would only take one at a time because we could get them all to the bowl more quickly that way in the long run.
 Sometimes the one who starts off fastest does not win, you know.
 '~Then we would play potato games in the same way. Some of the girls would dress up as ladies and act very proud and would tell us they couldn't play such games. But they didn't stay dressed up very long as they wanted to play.
 "They liked to do 1t for little while because the dressing up had been such fun. But they didn't like 1t for long, I can tell you, not when there were games to be played!
 '9Then we used to make jack O lan' terms out of pumpkins and put can dle in each jack O lantern.
 Such handsome jack O lanterns as we'd make and every one would be just a little bit different from the other.
 "But they all had great big mouths, and big eyes and fine noses. And the light from the candle in each would shine forth.
 Then we'd take our jack O lanterns around to the different houses and would ring the bells and hide behind the houses so we could just look out a little bit and see what was going on.
 "Then we'd see if our jack O lantern was politely received.
 "Sometimes people would be cross, but not usually. Most of them liked to have jack O lantern callers. And some would take the jack O lantern inside, which of course was a very mean thing to do when we wanted to take the jack O lantern to make other calls.
 "But most of the people talked to our jack O lanterns as we liked to

HONOR OF TEACHERS IS PLACED AT MERCY OF ODIOUS SPY PLAN Principals Told to Make Secret Re- port on Loyalty and Morality
 of Instructors.

Union school teachers of New ork state are indignantly protesting against an espionage system recently set up by the State Department ot Education. They charge that an order requiring principals to make secret report "upon the morality and the loyalty" of teachers i'll the pubic schools establishes a spying system and is a denial of civil liberty.
 Attention is directed to the fact that principals are required to vouch for the "'loyalty and morality of teachers, a majority of whom are women "from personal knowledge Of on reliable information" While inn ways possible for even the best meaning principal to vouch for the personal conduct of teachers without blemish, and his inability to do 80 conscientious1y will constitute a stig- ma upon the regulations of many m noCent persons.
 The loyalty order transmitted to principals by the board of education is as follows:
 .'List the name of each teacher un- der your Jurisdiction
 "Place a check mark in columns opposite the name of each teacher tor whose morality and loyalty as a clti- zen you can personally vouch.
 'fIn column check the name Ot each teacher whom you can not vouch for from personal knowledge, but can do so on information that you con slider thoroughly reliable.
 "In column 3 check the name of each teacher whom you can not vouch for from personal knowledge or Of whose morality or loyalty to the gov ernment of the United States or of the state of New York you have reasonable doubt"
 This order is denounced as vicious by the Teachers Union. That part of the order to classify teachers con corning whose loyalty and morality the principal knows nothing, in the same column with those to whose loyalty and morality the principal has reasonable doubt, is especially odi- ous," says Henry R. Linville, presi- dent of the union.
 This regulation comes out of legis- lation adopted by the New York leg is lature about year ago, when 1t was dominated by notorious 100 per centers of the Lusk type, who were still capitalizing war hysteria. It was pointed out then what was being at- tempted and was the establishing of a spy system that would be used to the detriment of teachers "who re- fused to place loyalty to existing in stitutions above loyalty to fundamen- tai American ideals"
 The secrecy that surrounds the in quisition gives almost supreme power to principals, who hold in their hands not only the jobs of teachers, but their regulations and characters as we'll

count of the fact that the old cement
would last for about year more, and
then would have to be taken up and
a new pavement laid at cost of
about S12,000.00, he thought that il
would be wise to try the re-surfacing
plan which would last from 10 to 20
years without repair. The composition
of the surface is of crushed rock coat
ed with tar topped with sheet asphalt
compressed to about two-inch thick

Jail las More Guests
 This Year

Stating that at the present time there are over 100 prisoners at the County jail on North avenue, e1ther serving or awaiting tral, and that a year ago the number was smaller, the population of the Jail as given out this morning by Sheriff Simeon Pease, Is interesting.
 That prohibition, at least the viola ton of prohibition laws, IS fesponsl- bIe for the larger number or inmates seems reasonable, in face or the 1act that jail sentences are rapidly becom- ing the order at City court, fatner than merely fines, which, no matter how heavy, did not seem to act as a deterrent.
 Another Interesting phase of the matter from this angie is the fact that the date of the smallest number Of in- mates in modern times was six months before prohibition was supposed to have gene into effect, At this time scarcely a half hundred persons were confined in the North avenue institu- tion, The figures given out today seem to indicate that to sell liquor now must be so profitable, that saloon Keepers and 'tbott leggers'' are taking desperate chances, for to be caught at a like offense at this time in Bridge port. is like deliberately breaking into iail.
 The severity of sentences recently handed out by Judge William B. Boardman is Beginning to have effect, not only as to the population of the prison, but to the number of old saloon locations being closed up ant abandoned,

Boston, Nov. 14-A New England snowstorm failed to dampen the ardor

Morton Prince, chairman; Lieut.. Governor Alvan T. Fuller, Rear Admiral GIeaves, Major Gen. Clarence R. Ed wards and State Commander James T. Duane, of the American Legion.
 The lengthy program prepared for his entertainment started with the pre- sentation of a gold medal by Cover nor Cox and key to the city by Mayor Peters. Chief among other functions arranged in his honor were
 the conferring of honorary degrees by Harvard and Boston Universities and Boston College, and a parade of for mer service men and women. A detail of two hundred and fifty policemen had difficulty in clearing a passageway through the throng that filled the railroad station to capacity. Outside the terminal, thousands of others had gathered, for a glimpse of the famous Frenchman-
