Il DON'T o EMPLOYE

If you were a stranger in a large city and discovered that
you had lost your way, to whom would you go for d~irectionsf
Naturally, to the most intelligent looking person that was
near you, wouldn't youY Why2 Because you would think
there would be less chance of such a person replying to you
in this way, II don't know"
If you are a business woman avoid as you would the
plague the three words, 'I don't know" They are fatal to
a business career. OF course be honest and If you don't know
say SO, but the next time and the next time make II your
business to know. If your employer asks you a question
about the business you should know it. Use your eyes, Guilt
yate your memory, make use of your ears, work your brain
power and you will know it.
Every employer knows the difference in employees; some
never seem to know anything one asks them, while others
always give the desired information. Don't be the Il don't
know, class. If you are and stay there, your employer will
soon give up coming to you for information. Like our lost
friend in the city, he will naturally seek at once the person
who looks keen, alert and receptive. More than that, he Will
soon forget that you exist, with the result that you will either
stick and stick in the position you are now filling, or that
some worker who does know will be assigned to your place.
The IT don't know employee may be a sticker, or she
NAV be forced to become a rolling stone, but one tning Is

Women Give More
To Families Than
Men, 1t is Shown

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o-Point-
ing the way to q clearer under
standing and a more equitabel valua
ton of the wage-earning woman as
an economic factor In the family"
the Women's Bureau OF the United
States Department of Labor has Just
issued q report on THE Share of
Wage-Earning Women in Family
Support" which undertakes to an
swer such questions as the relative
contribution of men and women TO
the family budget, the economic eff
feet of the wage-earning woman
who also supports a family, and the
relative earning capacity of men
and women in the family group.
"Wcmen as providers for the
home, as factors in industry, whose
earnings, hours and working condi-
lions have a broad social signif-
canoe. are still to be recognized"
declared the report. Although
their findings cannot be considered
to be final, in all of these reports
one conclusion is unacceptable. /.
Is that in general women are wage
arner not only for their own entire
support, but to meet a very definite
responsibility as sharers in the sup
port of others, Of the maintenance
of higher standards of living In the
families. There 10 necessity for a
clearer understanding and a more
equitable valuation of the wage
earning woman as an economic
factor in the family"
The report was based upon an In
vestigation in the industrial district
of Manchester, N. H., supplemented
by data from the recent cost of ltv-
fnO aIfrVpU nf fho Rt1rnaIf nf TohAV
Statistics.
Wonlan's Pay Comparatively Low
The most important qualifying
factor in any study OF the relative
economic st atus of men and women
in family lite the report points out,
Is the size Of the earnings of men
compared with those of women"
THE industrial status of men, II
states, lis far more definitely as
sured than that Of women. and IN
examination of the details of this
status leaves little doubt that It is
the result of a psychological attitude
toward the value Of men as much az
1t is a response to their actual eco
nomic value to industry. Whether
they art old or young, experienced
or inexperienced, steady or inter-
mittent workers the women earn
less than the men,
In groups Of low earning capacity
A$1S to $40 weekly, more women
than men give their entipe pay to
family support.
Unmarried women contribute
more extensively to home budgets
than unmarried men.
When comparable groups of men
and women are contrasted, women
are found to be more generous con-
tributors to family upkeep than
men.
Experience in occupations, num-
Der of weeks employed, ETC., being
equal, women receive less pay than
men. b.

Neighborhood Of Hull
F4ouseLosing Identity

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 The neigh
borhood of Hull House, for 80 years
the center of Miss Jane Adams
work among the foreign population
of Chicago, is changing again. &C
cording to the staff at Hull House
and officers of the Chicago Urban
League. This time the newcomers
are negroes, thought to be moving
from other sections of the city and
southern states.
The population of the South Hal
stead street district has changed con
siderably since the establishment of
the settlement by Jane Adams in
1889, workers here say. AS one
group becomes more prosperous, it
moves into less crowded quarters OF
the city. Early ~canvasses made of
the district show large numbers of
Italians, Greeks and a sprinkling of
Irish. Greeks and Italians are still
in the majority, although Hull House
has in the last decade been offering
hospitality to large numbers of i'm
migrant Jews and to a small colony
of gypsies who are making their
home there.
When Hull House, one of the pio-
neer settlement houses in the United
States, was established, Miss Adams
threw open her doors to the COM
munity and founded a neighborhood
gathering place as a democratic in
stitution. Everybody was welcomed.
regardless of nationality, in friendly
spirit. An effort has been made at
all times to persuade the various
nationalities to cooperate in the life

1T Is a fatal thing to put . man
on a pedestal and worship him.
Sooner or later he disappoints and
blasts a woman's faith in mankind"
So the would-be DIVORCE told the
judge-or maybe It was a reporter.
This pedestal business is all wrong,
anyway. Pedestals are too likely to
turn into shelves If a woman Is made
the possessor thereof, despite the
well-meant oratory to the contrary.
And when a lar climbs up the
stepladder of affection to that exalt-
ed station, there's bound to be a
tumble. Altitude Is notably trying
on the heart.
Fortunately for the human race,
hero-worship isn't as prevalent
among the female of the species as
the male would like to suppose.
There will be no necessity for any
body to arise up in congress and pro-
pose an amendment to the Constitu-
ton for the prohibition of pedestals.
He who walks up to the altar Is
not enacting the role of Prince
Charming nearly so often as that OF
the Consolation Prize; the compro-
mise between theory and practice;
the triumph of environment over
tradition.
Divorce court casualties are not
caused by the collapse OF high ideals,
as a rule; rather they are the result
Of entire lack of them.

The strength, the wisdom and the
kindness that were all equal paris
in the character of William Mckln
lev. one Of Americas martyreo
presidents. were inheritences from
his remarkable mother, Nancy ALI
son Mckinley. Nancy Allison was
a strong rugged woman descended
from old Scotch stock. She was q
real American mother of the type
that breeds presidents.
Her nature was a combination of
good sense and kindness. Neither
one was allowed to gain too much
ascendency over the other. For ex-
ample, although she was a strict dis
ciplinarian, biographers state that
her children obeyed her, not through
fear but through love. She was a
positive sort of person, who weighed
things very carefully before h ar
rived at any decision, but who adj
hered to the decision, once made.
She was known in her neighbor-
hood for a hospitable, charitable
woman, and was considered the To-
cal peacemaker. Everybody's trou-
bIes and quarrels were brought her
and she managed to straighten out
more thar one tangle in her fam
ily as we'll as out of it.
In. addition, she was a born gem
tlewoman. Her ancestors had been
of the finest type, and she inherited
all their splendid qualities and in
stincts. She was brave, strong and
astonishingly reserved. She had
emotions, but managed to keep them
carefully within herself. An inter-
esting story is told of her, which
throws an illuminating side-llght
upon her character. =

Ohio, she went to visit him on one

How to Gain

1.-THE way to gain weight is to re-
duce the amount of food eaten. An
additional loss of weight may occus
at first, but this loss is chiefly due
to the elimination of the polsons and
waste that havo accumulated
through o~versating. This will be
followed by an increase in weight
and the building of normal healthy
tissues"
To the woman who would gain
weight Froude gives this advice.
Don't attempt TO force a gain In

Don't try TO stimulate the appe-
lite.

perfect formula would be: two
