The Servant Girl Question Today

To the Editor OF tho ETeHino Public Ledger:
Sir-The servant girl question today
10 quite different from the same ques
tion ut the beginning of the twentieth
century. The maid has gone through u
state Of evolution In her position Just
servant girl has been educated to think
and to depend upon her own Judgment
She no longer looks upon herself as au
unfortunate victim Of circumstances re.
signed to her fate.
am All employer OF servants my.
self and have been for years. I think
the evolution that has come about
has made better servants, for intclil.
gencc in any line Of work. even though
mostly physical. Is Of a great advan-
tage. Every one who employs help Of
this character knows that the girl os
today. no matter Of what nationality
or color. has advanced herself with tho
times. In fact. ! believe her advance.
mcnt has been greater than that Of her
mistress.
Instead Of the mistress trying to ad.
vance herself in tho duties OF home life,
keeping up the best kind Of a home DOS
sible under her financial circumstances,
the mistress Of today is less domestic
than she was yesterday. Inst week, last
year or last century. She has advanced
herself intellectually, but not along the
lines that would be best suited to the
responsibilities Of the wife In the home.
II there would be moro intelligent
housekeepers there would be less ir.
responsible servants. The servants nrc
invariably just what the mistress makes
them. II she treats them with indi6cr.
encc or in an easonab bic manner, she
can be sure she Is going to find tho same
treatment in return, In Spitc of the djf.
ference IN the social and financial
status between the two. in the mental,
moral and even cultured difference in
many instances. Of the two. the scryaur
Is the better fitted.
II more women would try to educate
themselves TO more intelligcntly admin
lister their duties in the home; would
read some books on good manners.
others on Christian charity, etc., thcrs
would not be this continual complaint
among housekeepers us to the difficulty
Of finding good servants.

Why Demand Ace?

TO the Editor o. the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir.-I would like to suggest, through
your interesting Forum" column, tho
advisability Of limiting the question re.
garding nge In every respect In WHICH
1t Is required, for Il is an incentive for
more false swearing than any other
question. Very few women, when they
register to vote, are willing to give their
correct age. and this Is likewise true
OF men. especially since there seems to
be an inclination to employ no ono who
is over forty.fve years Of age.
The question Of age should never b1
asked and force people to make crimi-
mails Of themselves or take n false oath
with their hand on the Bible. a man
or woman should be considered to hc
Just as old rs they look or feel. Age
counts for nothing by way Of identi .
fication in these days. 4 woman OF
hfty, when she arises in the morning,
has not been careful Of her health. she
could easily be taken for many more
years. At 10 o'clock in the morning
after she has prepared her toilet, shv
could he taken for almost any age be.
tween twenty and forty.
a man Is virtually the same. although
he ia not able to conceal his age as
successfully. vet he can get O face
massage, wear sport clothes, and might
be easily guessed fifteen or twenty years
younger than he Is. Then why ask hinl
or her their age and compel them to
swear falsely? This Is not alone true
III registering to vote. but in many other
ways, as In the securing Of n mnrriag
license, or passport. etc. Height,
weight. complexion, color Of hair and
eyes mny so far in identifying a person,
but in our days-when all forms Of
sham can be practiced--agc should not
be asked to make Ananiascs Of no many.

IRON REVIEW

New York, Nov. 9.--Thc lion Age. IN
It's weekly summary OF the iron and
steel trades, tomorrow, Will say:
Fig iron production IN October gives
good gauge OF the rapid picking up
CT the industry after the coal strike
There was a gain Of % per cent over
the September rate and more blast fur
naCes are active today than at any time
since December. 1920. In the 81 days
OF October. the country produced 1885,
ga tons Of pig iron or S5,0a2 tons n
day against o,O33,720 tons in September
If 67,79l tons n day. The steel COM
panles increased their output l2,?Oo
tons a day over the September rate and
tho merchant furnaces gained 5,l00 tons
n day. the largest increase for them IN
many months The steel corporation
made net gain Of six in active far
naccs last month the Independent COM
panics a gain OF u. and the merchant
furnaces a gain Of Q. a total Of %. on
November /, the capacity Of the 2lS
furnaces IN blast was $685. tons day
against 77.n05 tons day for $50 fur
naCes on October /,
Apparently the increase IN steel OUT
put has corresponded n that IN pig iron
and the steel companies are operating
this week at fully IS per cent Of ca
pacity With tho rate Of pig iron pro-
ducllon TO-DAY close to 32.0oo000 tons
year. steel inEot production IL probably
not far from the rate Of $4,000 600 tons
year.
The effect OF this Increased output on
prices Of both pig iron and tnish":
steel IS being watched closely by both
buyers and sellers. Particular atteu-
ton Is being directed To the steel co.,
pora:ion's decision, looked for this week
on snce: ard tin plato prices for the
first quarter OF 1923. There has been
an expectation OF some advance above
SAYS per base box for tin plate and
above S3.35c cor No. @S black sheets
but this week the effect Of the decline
10 S2s FOR sheet bars is having consider
alton.
Plans OF car makers FOR the first half
OF 1928 Will call for large shipments ~
tin plates. Cur supply for the move
rlent OF material away from mills is
better on the whole and the movement
vi Goa! 10 the lakes Is likely TO taper orr
In the next, three weeks. further i'm.
proving the car situation.
Recent price concessions have not
stimulated buying in the pig iron mar
ket and even the s25 price on Alabama
iron has resulted in few sales. The
trend Is still. downward and among tho
reductions or the week are 81 on foun-
dry grades and soc on EcSScmtr, IN the
Pittsburgh district. Some STANDARD
COnncllsville coke sold a s. in the past
week. but blast furnace assumptions
are Hitting the free coke from the mar
kct and $3.50 IS nearer todays market.
