 Jobs for girls are scarce where once they were plentiful. Secre- tarial positions are almost never open to newcomer and steno- graphers are not in the demand. There are more stenographers to be had and competition for jobs Is keen. In addition there are now hundreds of girls whose homes are in Shanghai who are willing to work for less pay than her foreign rival and she gets many of the jobs once going to girls from abroad
 Life Is Faster
 With Shanghai steadily grow ing, housing conditions for work ing girls are not as pleasant as years ago when life was at a slower pace. The girls hotels and clubs and similar organiza- tions of other meropolises are not to be found in Shanghai. Little attention has been paid to the welfare of the Shanghai girl who works for living. Shanghai has it's boarding houses but as yet there Is not even symptom of modern solutions for housing the business girl, as is being done in other parts of the world.
 But in spite of these adverse conditions for business girls there is no letup in the supply of these who would try their hand at the life. The employ. ment bureau of the Young Wom. ems Christian Association is seeking to help.

WEEK ON
TRIAL HERE.

The five.day week advocated by
the American Federation of Labor is
receiving an extensive trial in the
building trades in Washington.
Agreements between contractors
and five groups of workers--steam.
filters, electricians, lathers, iron.
workers and plasterers-already have
put the plan into effect on many
current construction jobs.
Strong support of the fiVe.day
week Is given by Harry Wardmain
president of the Wardman Construc-
ton Company. who recently an
nounced a modification of his long
standing "open.shop' policy, and an.
nounced his intention of employing
union men on more of his projects.
One of the factors which, it is said,
caused Wardman to change his atti-
tude toward union labor has been
the protest of British labor interests
against the employment of nonunion
labor on the new British embassy on
Massachusetts, Avenue. Since that
time the builder has entered into
agreements with the Central Labor
Union to employ union men on 6ther
projects.
THE five-day week has got to
come, and have always favored il, !"
said Wardman today. The Building
Trades Council, of which John M.
Boots is chairman, has been active
in promoting the plan on local con.
struction projects.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-In the
highly emotional speculation of re-
cent months, railroad shares have
stood apart, exempt from the
transient forces which make the
public eager to capitalize in a
week the expected gains in earn
ings over period of years.
To some extent, the stability of
railroad security prices is in part
the result of the deliberate policy
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which pointed out in its
decision in the O'Fallon valuation
case, in justifying the prudent in
vestment theory of valuations:
1--WE come back after this ex-
ploration of the field Of practical
results, to the thought that stabili-
ty is a prime requisite in this
situation, both for the investors
and for the country as a whole.
There is nothing more disturbing
to commerce and industry than
the prospect of frequent and
abrupt shifts in the general freight
rate level; and there is nothing
more disturbing to investors, ds
distinguished from spectators.
than the prospect Of frequent and
wide shifts in security values"
The trouble with the foregoing
reasoning is that, il railroad val
ues stand still while all unregu-
lated equities advance. the rail.
road issues become relatively less
attractive to investors.
And, in attacking the commits
sion's procedure in taking 1914
prices as the basis of valuing
railroads. the investment house
of Jas. H. Oliphant & Co., in a
statvment issued today. points
out:
"As for the investor obtaining
stability by irrevocably linking
his investment to the dollar, it is
hard to use measured language.
To value the greater part of rail-
road property today in terms OF
prices Of 1914 is to ask the rail-
road investor to take the loss
inherent in the depreciation of
the purchasing power of the dol.
lar since 1914. 1t is to saddle
railroad investment with q per-
manent disability as compared
VIII OLleE LOEIlS Oh 1nVGSI1uSHt.
1t is to nullify. with regard to
railroad common stocks the chief
investment merit of common
stocks-which is. their ability to
compensate for changing price
levels.
We think it will come as some.
thing of a shock to railroad
stockholders generally to learn
that one of the objections or the
: Interstate Commerce Commission
to recognized present reproduc-
ton costs Is the fact that the
railroad stockholder would reap
the benefit.

the reasoning of the I. c. G when
the st. Louis and O'Fallon case
comes before the Supreme Court
OF the United States for review

ACTUAL STOCKS

After five days Of the most
abnormal speculation in it's his.
tory. the New York Stock Ex-
change closed on Saturday to
give brokers opportunity to catch
up. The weeks transactions had
already exceeded 30,0OO,000 shares
on the stock exchange and TO-
600 900 shares on the curb, totals
wholly without precedent.
Fluctuations in doomed stocks
were wider than ever. Light
ning-like rises of $40, $50, $40 and
more occurred. Followed some
times by almost equally abrupt
relapses. Average quotations
were lifted to new heights, thanks
mainly to the performance OF
few pool issues.

aue to euory because glycerir1e will not evaborate!

THOUSANDS of motorists are
1 bullied by their cars in winter. They
fear freeze-up. They put in anti-freeze
but it evaporates. They keep running
for more solution. They worry every
time they park their cars in the open or
in an unheated garage. And even then,
too often, they end with the very freeze
up they feared-with fat repair bill to
meet, and their car out of service.
Thousands of other motorists have
learned better method. They get their
cooling system frightened up, put in one
filing of Radiator Glycerine and say
goodbye to freezing worries for the en-
tire winter. They know glycerine can't
evaporate. They know it won't boil off:
