Women and Unemployment
Should They Step Out of Their Positions to Give Work
to Men?
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is no doubt that a true
note has been struck by the letter of
/ Harry Nathan in your columns sug-
gcsting that women should again be
patriotic and relieve the unemployment
situation by stepping out.
am a professional woman and have
been out of employment for more than
q year, owing, in the beginning, to an
sccident which for six months pre-
vented my doing the work Of my desk,
so that it was necessary to fill my
place.
In seeking to find position I have
intcrviewed three or four married
women at the heads Of department.
and in executive positions whose hus-
to support them and whose positions
were compensated on the married
man" basis. These women went into
Offices and war work, and having, as
one of them told me, "rcalizcd what
.un it was to be independent and, real
y, one can always use the money, you
know have given up their homes and
gone into 1.-TWO rooms and bath non
housekeeping apartments" and each
one Of them is definitely standing in
the way of man or a elfdependcnt
woman who badly needs the position
which she holds.
Women in the professions and in
business will most Indignantly pro-
test that woman has right to hold
a COB" Nevertheless it is fact that
as there are not enough jobs to go
around an appeal to resign to womea
who are holding positions which they
do not need is in order. Failing that,
let US rcadjust the salaries of men so
that those who do not have "a wife to
support shall be paid on that basis.
Everybody knows that married man
is given preference over an unmarried
one, and that the question of his "dou-
BILE btcssedness' is always taken into
consideration in the matter of promo
tons and salaries. If women are to be
independent, then let them accept this

A Plea for E.scalators

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Az commutcr on the Long
island Il. r., am writing in reference
20 the lack Of escalators at the Penn
syivania Station. There is only one
escalator for the thousands of people
using this station. and that one is
frequently out Of order for days n. II
time thus necessitatine walking to
the street level
This, admit, Is good exercise for
young people, but for elderly folks
whose hearts are no. 100 per cent

Little Old New York
Is Solving Housing
As Well as Next
Douglas L. Gilman Says Eu.
rope Has Nothing That We
Need Here; Thinks More
Building Under Way Here

Douglas l.. Gilman, who returned
recently from three-months' soiourr
of Europe, thinks very we'll of Little
Old New York. "There is nothing over
there that New York need borrow"
Nh. Gilman said yesterday 81 found
that we are as advanced as Europe in
handling the problems Of the day"
Although NJ. Gilman went to the
other side on a vacation to visit the
battlefelds with his son and later
with his family tour France. Belgium.
Switzerland, Italy, England and Scot
land-he could not help observing the
progress Europe was making in solving
the housing shortage. which is as
serious over there as it is in this
country.
Except in the war areas of France
and Belgium. Mr Gilman said that he
saw very little home construction UNI
doorway. In the section over which
the armies fought. he said great effort
was being made to replace the thou
sands and thousands Of homes that
were destroyed.
In England he observed very little
construction under way, although there
might be more than he saw, he ex-
planned. because he was not looking
for such things, but was feasting his
eyes on the beauty of The country or
accepting with amusement the customs
of the people.
Mr.. Gilman thought there was logic
in the Old Worlds theory that bust
ness affairs should not be rushed
From IL noon until 2 o'clock customs
houses, stores and Offices are closed
in England there is tea hour which
IN no 10,
again is forgotten.
From what he saw and heard relative
to housing and real estate Mr. Gilman
feels sure that New York has not
missed any innovation or housing wrin-
kle. 1t WAS his impression that New
ork was doing more than European
cities in solving the housing problem.

May Be Barred
From Upper 5th Auenue
City Plan Committee of the Board of Estimate Elk
pected to Create New Zoning Law Limiting
Building Height TO Is Feet

Following the unanimous approval
by the City Plan Committee of the
Board of Estimate the city is expected
to create within the next few weeks an
entirely new building zone, which in
no future buildings will be allowed at
height exceeding seventy-tve feet
When created the new zone will be the
only one in the Borough of Manhattan
whers tall apartment houses are pro-
hibited.
The creation of this new restricted
area, whch embraces the residential
section OF upper fifth Avenue and the
adjoining side streets, marks the cul-
mination of a long and hard fight on
the part of the Fifth Avenue Associa-
ZION to prevent huge apartment houses
being erected in this residential sec
ton of the avenue.
The restricted district will be on
Fifth Avenue from SiXtieth to Ninety
sixth Streets and on the side sire, Is
i'll this section to point within 100
feet west of Madison Avenue. AT pres
ent cut Of 500 buildings in this ter
ritory there are only thirty ight
apartment houses and only eight Of the
latter are higher than the seventy five
foot limit which is TO be set for future
construction.
The final decision Of the City Plan
Committee to recommend the favor
able adoption of the proposed coming
law amendment, came at the conclu-
sion of public hearing in the City
Hall last Wednesday. Real estate men
have been widely interested in this eff
fort to virtually bar apartment houses
from tho residential part Of Fifth
Avenue, and attended the hearing ii
force.
Will Have Stimulating Effect
According to predictions heard afsar
the vote, realty men believe the action
taken will have a most stimulating
effect upon property values throughout
the newly created territory. They FORE
cast an early revival of building in
the district, basAg their conclusions
on the fact that for the last few years
prospective home builders in this sec
ton have feared to invest because
OF threatened encroachment of tower
ing apartment houses, which might
cut off their light and air, as we'll as
sroil the present exclusive nature OF
the thoroughfare.
John J. Curtin, as special counsel
for the Fifth Avenue Association, ira
sented petition representing the
OWNERS OF more than 81 per cent of
the property affected. He urged The
establishment OF the new zone on the
following grounds:
Erection of huge apartment dwell
ings would virtually destroy the finest
residential street in the world
Existing home owners in this section
arc entitled to legal protection from
the larceny of their light and air
Apartment houses on the avenue
would continue to lower assessed val
uations of adjoining property and the
city would therefore lose heavily in its
tax income.
High buildings constructed on the
east side of Fifth Avenue facing Cen
trail Park would shut off the breezes

minated College Women
Why Don't T'.ev Marry -"Just Be-
cause Saws a COED.

tn The Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May ] make 8 few comments on
DR.. Louis Dublin's statement before
the Eugenics conference that higher
education and the ideals of culture i'm
hibed therein from women teachers are
responsible for the fact that a great
many college women do rot marry
In the first place, it is only in the
strictly women's colleges that women
teachers are in the majority. Through
ont the Middle and Far West most col-
leges are co-cducational. with men pro-
fessors the ruie and women the excep-
tion. This is also true of number of
Eastern colleges. !, coed. had but
one woman instructor in my four years
of college, and that was in a home
making course. What proportion Of
our college women are educated in a
purely feminine college atmos phere
Not q large one.
No, | believe there is another reason.
A college man-any man, in facts
not attracted by girls brains. He
prefers sporty clothes and snappy line
OF talk. Many college men do marry
college women, but so many marry "the
girl back home who stopped at the
end Of high school or went to q finish
p ing school. that there simply are not
enough left to match up with the col
lege women, who, even III these DAYS
of equal suffrage and jury duty. have
an instructive desire to look up" to
their husbands mentally as we'll as in
stature, and therefore demand that they
be equally we'll educated.
So there are many of US who are be-
ing left out of the biggest things in life
just because-well, it isn't entirely our
fault. We are not too homely to be
looked at. We are not lacking in hu-
NOR. A great many of us laugh at
Charlie Chaplin and chuckle appre-
ciatively over F. P. A. We still thrill
over football. baseball and tennis, ana
some of US play golf. And there are
many of us-oh, so many of us,-who
would gladly give up our large salaries
and economic independence" for d
home and babies. Is it fair?

COURTESY ALONG THE
TROUT STREAM
Farmer the Friend of :.
Fishermen and Rights Should
Be Respected

Napoleon Bonapate remark
ed that the extra effort requir-
ed to make an absolutely wrong
thing absolutely right was so
slight that he wondered why
so many failed to take it. With
the trout season just around
the corner and the sportsmen
Of the State busy oiling reels,
patching boots and smuggling
new and expensive rods into
their homes in anticipation of
the opening day, the State De-
partment of Fish and Game
think it wise to call attention TO
the fact that the average fisher
man is the farmers guest and
should conduct his excursions
to agree with the usage of hos:
pitality.
A gate left shut that was
found open; or a gate left open
that was found shut, may seem
an unimportant thing to a man
eager to reach a favorite trout
pool, but it may mean a serious
financial loss to the landowner.
If the carelessness becomes ha-
bitual the farmer has only one
recourse for protection-to close
his land to the public.
The rules which most sports
men observe are simple and, as
Napoleon remarked, require so
little extra effort that it is
strange that they are ever bro
ken.
Leave gate. fences and bars
as you find them.
Walk around the edge of a
planted field and not across it.
Be careful of matches and
cigarette butts.
IF a dog is with you keep him
away from the farmers live
stock.
Farmers are human and mosr
of them are sn0rtsuen; It does
no harm to look ID to the land
,ner and get his permission
20 fish on his property, If, on
! pOpr way home, you can mana
re to stop At the farmers house

Prospects are Bright for n

This Year

A meeting was held at the
Opera Hall, Monday, April 4,
at s o'clock, for the purpose of
talking over the baseball situa-
ton and electing officers for
the coming season. The meet
ing was a bowling success, "a
bout forty-fve being present.
Mr.. F. E. Boyce presided as
chairman.
The following officers were
elected: F. E. Boyce, Mgr; c..
P. Streete, Asst. Mgr; C. G..
Kittredge, Sec'y.; V. c. Tenney
Treas; E. l.. O'Brien, Adv.
Mgr. 1t was voted to hold
moving pictures in the Opera
Hall, every second Monday, for
the benefit of the baseball asso-
citation only. We hope all
those interested in having a
winning team in Island Pond
this summer will take hold and
make these pictures a success.
1t was also planned to offer in
ducements to Alec King and
Clifford Stevens to bring them
home instead of allowing them
tc 60 elsewhere for the season.
It is also the intention of the
management to secure. a college
pitcher, who can hold his own
with such men as Witty of St.
Johnsbury and other teams of
the surrounding towns.
We understand from the New
port Manager that they have
raised 100000 for their Club
and we certainly do not want to
be outdone by our old rivals.
We plan to open the season at
home, May 3oth,, with some
fast team, probably East Deer
ing, with a game in both fore
noon and afternoon. Let's all
get together and do our bit to-
wards helping the boys along.
Remember every little bit will
help. What merchant would
not close his store an afternoon
during a game? Let US know.
Yours for success. Island Pond
