ON EQUALITY
ISSUE
War at New York Legislative
Hearing on s-HIour Day and
Minimum Wage.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 2T.-op-
posing armies of women clashed
militantly here yesterday on the
issue Of SEX equality in industry.
Bills to give women and children
in industry flat forty-eight-hour-week
and to provide q minimum wage for
women and children workers were
alternately praised and denounced.
Facing a gathering which packed
the assembly chamber, members
Of the Joint legislative committees
on labor and industries listened to
statements by foes to the two hills
that women are on an equality with
men, physically and constitutionally,
then they heard from proponents
Of the measures that women work
ers are not equal to the male sex
as producers in industry and must
have the protection Of such laws
90 the 6traus-R osonman forty-eight-
hour bill and the Reiburn.H aIniu

At one stage Of the hearing the
debate became so heated that Sem

He was compelled to pound time
and again to restore order.
Miss Lydia Sayre, representing
the Consumers League Of New
York. declared that the State Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs had in
dorSed the forty-eight.hour bill, and
a challenge Of her statement by
Miss Amy Wren, OF Brooklyn. pre-.
cipitated the row.
Opposition to the bills was led by
Mrs. Dudley Field Malone. She
said: n
1--WE demand that all legislation
fixing the hours Of labor be on a
non-sex basis. 1t is gallant Of you
to give women special privileges,
but we believe 1t viii do them more
harm than good" AZ
John r. O'Hanton, Of the State

DUEL WITH
HUSBAND
Shots Exchanged Between
Pair During Quarrel Over
Receipts of Theater.

BALTIMORE. Feb. ~. - While
groups Of school children were
passing, Walter Albers stood be.
hind his automobile in front Of his
home late yesterday and fought a
pistol duel with his wife Mrs.
Marie Albers, who fired at him
through a window in the house.
Neither was injured, though the
woman Is said to have fired four
shots, and Albers to have returned
the fire: When his wife had
emptied her pistol, Albers jumped
into his car which had two
windows smashed by bullets, and
drove away.
According to the story told by
Mrs. Albers to the police, her hus.
band, who is manager of the
Eagle Motion Picture Theater, de.
manded the receipts Of the house
Tor last night. She refused to give
them to him, and he threatened to
strike her.
Then, she said, she ran into an
other room and got a pistol.
Meanwhile he had armed himself
and run down the steps. AS he
went out into the street, she went
to window on the second floor,
opened 1t and started shooting at
him.
After they had heard her version
OF the affair, the police took her
into custody and went to the thea.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

ZINE walks through the forests where soft O naples, sweet gums, viburnums, poison
 ivy and pepperidge are flaming redly, blushing at the first soft advances of the frost sprites, without hearing more than bird note or two, and hardly, if ever, an out burst of song. Millions of songsters, many in their travelling dresses, pass overhead ln the darkness of night guide notes and twit- terings sounding far away as they are outlined for moment across the moon.
 The robins, getting ready to leave about the middle of November, bluebirds Hooking ready. to depart November first, and song sparrows hunting up secluded places to pass the winter, silently fit before the hikers. They are keeping their voices for the joyous out break when they return in spring. Rhiannon, Cymric goddess, wKO chose for husbands such cheerful souls as Pwyll, old Weleh god of the dead, and Manawyddan, whose domain was the world of the departed, had three birds whose singing brought the dead to life and put the living into eternal sleep.
 When robin bluebird nd song-sparrOw go, the forests fall in autumn slumber. When the three return they bring the world to life.

CIGARETTES AND BEAUTY.

A noted specialist of Vienna, warns against the use of cigarettes for women. The Viennese scientist does not say that cigarettes are bad for the heart, the di- gestive apparatus, the nerves, the lungs or other organs. Neither women nor men are easily alarmed on that score when they want to do things. The Viennese specialist comes right out in the open and declares that the use of the weed injures the facial beauty of females.
 He asserts that women who smoke, soon have sharper features than those who don't; that the nose and chin are marked with sharp outlines, and that the skin becomes tightly drawn; that women who smoke soon become prematurely wrinkled and show their age; that the lower lip has a tendency to stick out further than the other one, and that the lips lose their natural color and become distinctly pale. Other effects are sal low appearance, and more or less slug gish light in the eyes.
 With the aid of lipstick and other cos metics, most of these defects may be overcome, if one does not mind the use of substitutes for nature. But just how middIe-aged women and others who do not care to announce the dates of their DlELHudyS, VIII COioluSl LAS POlhISu 4Oa- lures, sharp chin, and wrinkles are ques- tions of speculation. With the average woman, it is believed that warnings of this sort will have considerable effect in causing serious purpose to abandon the tobacco habit. Those women who are just beginning to take on the hcbit of smoking will probably think about whether it is worth while. A young wom- ans beauty is one of her greatest assets The Viennese specialist has, therefore raised a serious question, more serious than the consideration of the probable damage to functional organs, all of which will doubtless increase the anxious use of the hard-n1iTror

The Superfluities
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

BEWARE of et the superfIuities! They fH crowd out the necessities. The more
 things you have that you don't want the less you have that you do want.
 The reason why prosperity so often de- grades life is that there can be no noble life without simplicity. /
 If you want to write, for instance, it is better to use plain deal table than a, ,mahog- any carved table studded with diamonds, be- cause the cheap article does not detract your attention, require your care, nor in any wise get in your way. ~s
 To own real pearl necklace and a quart of diamond rings is to clog your life. They do nothing to you but tickle your vanity, which is contemptible; while in others they provoke jealousy, envy, perhaps robbery and murder. Why bother with them?
 The best kind of life, it is universally acknowledged, is that kind that has the most worthy enthusiasms. To get pleasure ,out of music, literature, the arts, travel and the in tereourse with superior minds, deepens and enriches your personalitys An oyer-biR house, a retinue of servants, assorted auto mobiles, horses, dogs, expensive clothes, and hundred wagon-loads of bric-a-brac render this best kind of life impossible.
 It is common compaint that there are so many things going on and so many de mands made upon us m our mOoerh ine tiiNt we have no time for self-culture. If we would unload our opportunities we would find time.
 Cut out the superfluous friends of your social world Resign from your strife for precedence. Get your living down to the bare comforts and necessities and you will feel as gay and free as boy when he first takes off his shoes and runs barefoot over the grass in spring. You need leisure. You need hours in which to grow and ripen. You cannot have this unless you reduce yourN programme of life to simple terms.
 Luxury, extravaganza, great possessions intense activity in society, are utterly incom- patible with genuine refinement and rich ness of character. They spell Phillistinism.
 Nobility is impossible inrany other than the ..simple life" And to long for the super fluities is as bad as to have them.

FIRE PREVENTION IMPORTANT.

Some general statistics in connection with October 5-11 as Fire Prevention Week" are interesting. In Alabama last year forty-six persons were burned to death in this state More than ten mill lion dollars worth of property was de- stroyed. Between October 1, 1923, and June 30, 1924, there were 1897 fires in Greater Birmingham. Three deaths resulted the-efrom. In the United States during 1923 fire losses were more than 8 billion dollars, the highest since 1906, which was the year of the San Francisco conflagration.
 The worst feature of this record is that from half to three-fourths of these fires could have been avoided with reasonable precautions. Concerted action by the citizens in keeping their premises cleared of rubbish, trash and ,inflammable ma terials would accomplish much in reduc- ing the danger. With the first appear Hnce of cool weather, chimneys and flues should be cleaned for the winter, electric wires inspected and heating apparatus put in safe condition. A little effort on the part of everybody will result in marked improvement in the fire record.
 Another important thing is for the schools to have regular fire drills, not only during Fire Prevention Week." but at frequent intervals, and as often as necessary, to teach the pupils the impor- tance of fire precautions and what to do to avoid panics in the event of fire. 1t is also important that all churches; theatres and places for public gatherings shall be carefully inspected and made as free as possible from the dangers of fire.
 There is no greater mistake than the impression held by many that destruction by fire is covered by insurance. Every fire loss is paid for. The greater the losses, the higher the premiums, which are distributed among all who carry in- surancA There is no such thing as being ''covered by insurance" Every policy holder contributes to fire losses both of himself and of others.
