- necessary to engage q
maid. Now I have never had
one before and I don't know
exactly how to go about training
her. Can you help me?"
An ignorant girl, not able to
speak your language is expensive
at any price. Therefore, one of
the first bits Of advice is choose
carefully a girl who can bring
references and who has had some
experience. The cost Of such
maid ranges from $40 to $40
week with room and board, de-
pending upon what she has to do
and the local labor market.
Since every household differs,
the suggestion must OF course be,
general. It is well to take the
first three days in going over
her duties with her. Show her
exactly how you want each task
done. This may seem q waste of
time, but it will relieve you de-
cidedly later on and will prevent
usually disagreeabe friction.
Write out a plan of work and
let her follow it for at least three
weeks. At the end of that time
an intelligent girl will have
evolved her own plan Of work.
Many maids work on part time
and sleep at home. The price is
corresponding1y lower and where
sleeping space is at a premium
as In city apartments, this might
be considered. Be patient. Maids
are only human. After month
in the home, however, an en-
ployer has every right to expect
that a maid be able to carry on
her work unaided.

ADVICE TO THE

Too Young for Marriage.
BY Beatrice Fairfax

AVV AUuAiS luz WldET1dSes
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am eighteen and have
been going about with a young
man Of my own age. We have
been very friendly until lately.
My mother and father think a
great deal of him.
One night about three weeks
ago he said we were too young
to go about together with any
serious intentions. 1 feel very
badly over it. PEGGY.
He Is right, my dear. A boy of
eighteen is by no means ready
for marriage. You are a bit
young, but in a year or two you
will be far better prepared for the
responsibilities and cares of mar.
riage than this youth can. It ia
the kindest and most loyal thing
he can do.

The traffic over American railways increases enormously with each re- curing year.
 In 1923 tens of thousands of freight trains operate on 265 ,ooo miles ot line every day in the year, earn ing all the way from three thousand to ten thousand dollars of gross in come per train.
 It was officially declared in New York o8 years ago (I855) that No reliance whatever" could be placed on official railway reports. That was true then; it's true now; 1t was true from the beginning
 See annual report of the New York state engineer and surveyor for 1855. (Senate document No. 35, N. Y. I8oo.)
 Entirely disregarding official claims that the railroads always need more income in order to increase their debts; that they "barely earn interest on the bonds, to say nothing of a fair return on the money invested by the shareholders" and therefore must go in the hands of receivers; the wise man will seek more accurate informa- ton elsewhere
 Here is evidence stated in the few est possible words, that the profit of American railways in I2 months is not less than twenty-five billion dollars every year than all the Liberty Bonds printed and sold in 1917 and 1918 to pay in part the expense of the late world war.
 The two greatest transportation lines on the globe are the New York Central and the Pennsylvania. These two great systems carry less than 30 per cent of all traffic north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi riv- CTS. It is necessary for them to oper- ate six million trains a year to handle this tremendous traffic. Then four teen million other trains are neces- sary to handle the remaining 70 per cent; making, all told, twenty million trains a year to handle the traffic in the eastern district only.
 Perhaps some of these trains haul empty cars only, earning absolutely no revenue whatever. Allowing 25 per cent (14) for incorporating trains there remains Is million revenue earning trains two-hfths of which are passenger trains and three-hfths freight trains.
 The gross revenue from the pas senger trains will average not less than $500 each and the freight trains not less than $3,ooo. So the "gross transportation income" of all railway lines operating in the eastern district in I2 months Is estimated to be not less than twenty-eight billion anc eight hundred million dollars in Iz months
 The gross transportation income o the entire eastern district is about one-third of the total for all lines 1T the United States. So the gros: transportation income of all railway

BILLIONS OF PROFIT
By LEVI STEVENS LEWIS.

traffic in the entire United States "as a system" appears to be nothing les, than eighty-six billion and four hun dred million dollars in I2 months. De- ducting one-half for operating ex- penses and taxes the clear net profit appears to be not less than forty three bollion and two hundred million dollars every period of I2 months.
 This estimate is based on the traf- fv reported/in IoI6. Since 1916 there has been the usual never-failing an nual increase of traffic To be ultra conservative 1 have not taken in con- sideration the revenue realized from the mail and express service and 28 other sources of income and further discounted this calculation by eigh- teen billion dollars; so 1 insist the net profit of American railways every period of I2 months Is not less than twenty-five billion dollars.
 How much more or less the actual profits may be can eb determined only approximately by "a fact finding commission" from all sections and classes such as recommended seven years ago by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York.

LABOR LEADER PREDICTS GENERAL
 STRIKE IN PARK CITY IF DEMANDS OF WORKERS ARE NOT MET SOON

Bridgeport, Conn, June IT, Bridgeport will shortly see gen eral labor strike, John J. Egan, secre- tafy of the Machinists' union here, and a general labor organizer, con nected with the Central Labor Union, predicted this week.
 Because laborers and skilled help are making demands on manufactur- CTS here for increased wages, the lat ter are contemplating shortening the working day and week, Egan charged. In fact, he said, one factory, Warner Brothers, has already announced that it's working week will be five days in stead of 5H as heretofore.
 Unless the demands of the work CTS are met, general strike is inev- itablc," Egan declared. "Manufactur- CTS in the city are exporting work to other cities in order to create the inn pression that there is a shortage of work.
