ing?
What will be the outcome?
Saturday William A. Marshal
industrial accident commissioner
announced that 13 more employees
of the commission were necessar-
lily dismissed within the last few
days. Forty-two commission en-
ployes have been out during the
past eight months. The most re-
cent curtailment, he explained,
was due to the announcement OF
approximately "a large companies
that they do not elect to come un-
der the state accident law in the
future.
The commissions business has
slumped approximately 40 per
cent during the last years. This
Mr.. Marshall explained, is due
probably to two main reasons:
that, some time ago, wages were
materially decreased and that,
more recently, the commission ap-
parently has been underbid by in
surance companies.
Strategy Is Seen.
In view of the fact that, accord
ing to Mr.. Marshall, private in-
5urance companies cannot operate
for much less than 40 per cent OF
their income, ana that the syaEe
commission manages on approx
mately per cent of it's income, II
would, he explained, seem obvious
that the companies could make nc
material headway against the
state organization.
But in one direction Mr.. Mar
snail DCllShebB IhSy may mdhe
some progress. If the business OF
the commission continues to fall
off 1t may be far easier to con
vince solons at the next Legislative
session that the present laws
should be changed.
And, according to Mr.. Marshall,
il the matter of compensation is
put on a purely competitive basis
it will then cost the state com
mission approximately twice as
much to operate as 1t does at the
present time. This would be due
to the fact that Lne commissIon
necessarily would take the field in
search of business while the pres
ent time no money is expended for
that purpose.
Il will say, frankly, that the
compensation system is in greater
jeopardy than ever before" Mr..
Marshall said.

Questions like these come almost
daily to the weather bureau of the

New Jersey mosquitoes and wants to

type, including questions on the tenn
perature, climate, rainfall, and similar
factors Of weather which affect living
conditions, business, or work In some
distant locality, are taken care OF by
the Chronological division Of the
weather bureau.
The inquirer Is usually supplied with
printed data giving great many facts
about the section he Is interested In,
as well as letter answering his spe-
cifc questions.
The weather bureau has 100 printed
sectional descriptions Of this character
which 1t sends persons asking about

also available for Porto Rico and Ha-

London.-French parents know no
better than English parents what to
do with their daughters, writes a
Paris correspondent of the Times.
When marriage fails, or Is unduly de-
iayed. action becomes imperative. For
merly, marriage was the invariable
remedy; today there are not enough
men to go round, and girls must look
Tor some alternative to wifeh0od and
motherhood when they leave school.
J An aim In life Is essential. Their
parents are the first to realize this,
hnd turn reluctantly from matchmak-
Ing to the choice of career. The girls
hre less reluctant, because they do not
despair Of finding a husband and are
glad to think they may meet him and
choose him for themselves.
Sometimes their dreams are realized,
pnd there are many happily married
women In France who have been
wooed and won In the English way.
They met their husbands through their
work. The numbers Of educated gen.
flewomen who are earning their living,
pr preparing to do so, increase every
year. The liberal professions include

book, Comment Elever nos Files"

shell too much of woman to stand
alone.
That there are French women who
understand that their daughters must
be better, armed for life Is evident,
but they belong more generally to the
petite bourgeolsle than to the grande
bourgeoisie, or the aristocracy. Not
until quite lately have women Of the
upper classes contemplated taking up
paid work outside their homes, and
the prospect confounds them. Many
mothers would like to, see their daugh-
ters married unsuitably rather than
not married and forced to earn their
living.
New Occupations Open.
The result is the girls Of today are
turning their eye to occupations which
hitherto have been forbidden. The

She strives to keep her wage-earn-

apart as possible. The freedom which
comes to Frenchwomen with an earned
