Before the war the women of the
middle classes had no professions.
They kept house or engaged in social
work, church work, and such things
as nursing. Now and then q girl be-
came a typist or bookkeeper. but 1t
was beneath her dignity to clerk in
a store. After the war began, all
sorts Of women went into the fac
tories and into all kinds of businesses
on patriotic grounds, and at its close
about two hundred thousand women
were doing war work in Bavaria
alone. There were almost three
hundred thousand so employed in
Saxony, and in Prussia tho number
was about a million and q quarter.
There are now more than nine hum

Her name is Frau Or. Schneider
and she is one of the live, active
members Of the new congress of this
new German republic. We have
Of our women as having
voice in national affairs. Until this
year we have never had more than
two women in our House of Repres-
entatives, and the voice Of none has
been louder than the peep OF chick
en- when it comes from the egg. The
only woman In the next congress will
be Mrs John ]. Nolan, who is there
only as the death legatee Of her hus-
band. In our two houses we have five
hundred and thirty-one members, and
of these Ave hundred and thirty are
men. In other words, woman's part
in making our laws is as one is to
five hundred and thirty. In the new
congress of Germany the ratio OF
women to men is as about one to
fourteen.
The reichstas has four hundred
and sixty-nine members, and of these
thirty-five put up their hair on the
back of their heads and wear petit
coats. Their petticoats are short,
however, and they wear common
sense shoes. They stand firm on their
feet and walk with a swing. They
are not f1gureheads in tho work of
the chamber. They have places on
almost all the committees and their
voices are often heard on the floor.
They represent every one of the many
national parties. Two belong to the
democrats, eight to the independent
socialists, two to the communists, two
TO the Bavarian peoples party. three
TO the German Catholic party and
thirteen to the social democrats who

 One Foreign Titleholder.
 Seven have held the heavyweight sceptre since the reign of the Boston Strong Boy" and all but one have been American ringmen. Bob Fitz- simmons, the lanky Cornishman, was the only foreign pugilist to hold the title.
 Thus if Luis Angel Firpo of Argen- tina defeat Dempsey, he will be the second of the line to upset Yankee prowess and the first to take the crown to foreign shores. I'itzsim- mons won and lost the title while in this country.
 Jack Johnson, famous Negro fight CT, and Jim Jeffries, each held the championship for seven years, longer than any other before or after them. Jeffries retired undefeated but was knocked out by Johnson in 1910 when he attempted comeback as the white hope" "Gentleman Jim" Cor bett was champion for five years; Jess Willard, four years; Tommy Burns. who succeeded to the title by default when Jeffries hung up his gloves, three years; and Fitzsimmons two years.
