(By United Prcss)

Washington, Aug 2-(U. P.) - President Hoover may get the fish ermen's vote, but it looks like the stamp collectors are going to stick 1t out for Governor Franklin D Roosevelt.
 George W. Linnen editor o1 "Linn's Weekly Stamp News" pub. lished in Columbus, Ohio, discov- cred that Roosevelt is a stamp col lector. So on the front page of his magazine he publishes 8 picture of the New York governor, bearing this caption:
 A million stamp collectors want stamp collector for president"
 An article in the magazine notes that Roosevelt is member No 1159O of the American Philatelic Society and urges boost a phiIatelic bro- ther." Linn offers Roosevelt post stamps to members who wish to ad- vertise their candidate on enve- lopes.
 The spelling of the name of President Hoover's pet dog has long bothered newspapermen at the White House. For months they spelled it "Ouija" like the name of the game board.
 Only recently they learned that the beast is of Norwegian origin and that it owes its name to the ef- forts of Peggy Ann, the presidents granddaughter, to pronuonce Nor wegian." The best she could muster was "Weejee."
 The task of keeping up-to-date the big official map of the United States has been in one family for four generations. In 1854 Adolph M. Maedel was a map engraver in Weimar, Germany. His work was well known to this country to es- tablish his craft. With Maedel came his youngest son, August, whom the elder Maedel trained in the difficult work. August in turn trained an- other Adolph and also August Ruebsam, his brother-in-law.
 From the last, Clarence Rueb- sam, the present incumbent. learn ed his work. He is a bachelor and has no one to whom to pass his craft. He plans to look for a deserv ing and persevering young man who would like to learn it.
 The job is steady one, for post offices are always being changed water courses vary and township lines are altered.

Exclusion of Women From Industry
Is Burning Question Facing France

pared with 100000 men; 100000 in
government service, as compared with
500, 900 men; 245, 900 in the So-called lib
eral professions, as compared with 240,-
600 men.
In agriculture the great majority OF
the women are married, for generally a
family tillS the land as unit, but of the
100000 working in factories and Of
fees, only 100000 are married. The
spinsters include proportion of young
girls still living at home, but even when
these are eliminated, there remains a
very large number of women who sup
port themselves by their own work.
AS seen in this country today, the
problem Of female labor is twofold. In
the first place, the question arises of
how to keep the married women at
home. The solution, it is agreed, Is
purely financial. If the housewife and
mother were sure of obtaining from
some other source the money that she
earns in factory or office, 1t Is con-
sidered that in the very great majority
OF instances she would prefer to remain
at home.
There are government grants for fam
lilies, increasing proportionately with the
number of children, but they are ridic-
ulously small. Many industrialists also
have established system whereby the
wages of heads of families are increased
according to the number Of children
Now it is proposed to reduce these to a
minimum when the mother works and
to increase them to the maximum when
she undertakes to devote all her time
tc her home.
France needs to increase the birth
rate. She wants children-healthy
children-and she must pay for them
by contributing to their upkeep and
education. This principle is generally
accepted today, but the means avail
able are woefully diSproportionate To
the ends.
SpinSters Cling to Jobs.
The second part of the problem is
much more complex. The spinsters at
work pay the same taxes and other
charges as the men and on the face OF
| it have the same rights. They have not
yet the right to vote, but they claim
that no power on earth should deprive
them of the right to work. Yet, fol
the greater good of the nation, they
should become homemakerS in theil
turn. This is general agreement on
this point, but no satisfactory solution
of the problem has yet been offered

considered unacceptable in the twen'
tieth century.

Hobart, to take his seat In the lower
House there. In the Parliament his
abilities early shone out, but the
strength of Labor was small then and
there were never lacking persons who
forecast, frequently and at very great
length, that Labor never would get into
control in Tasmania. They were wrong.
Early in the commemorative federal
history Labor took control and achieved
great things; in Tasmania it had to
wait nearly 20 years longer. but eVentu-
ally it did achieve control when its op-
ponents had brought the small state
face to face with bankruptcy. Hesi-
family desperate populace at the polls
put Labor in, but by so small majority
that it could achieve nothing. Mr..
Earle was premier of the state then;
Mr.. Lyons was his treasurer. He was
then in his early forties. The big mop
OF Jet-black hair was rapidly graying;
he had six children, and on the meager
salary Of q state politician he was
never free from personal worries as
well as those of state.
The Earle government soon fell and
was succeeded by the Conservative-Na-
tionalistS, I think they called them
selves. It does not matter much; they
brought the state close to ruin. Tas-
mania is rich and the land is beautiful,
but it always has been depressed. A

PARIS.-Should women work else
where than at home? Should advan-
tage be taken of the present general de-
preston to reduce radically the number
of women workers in France? These
questions are agitating this country at
the moment and they are being dis
cussed on all sides
Prof Charles Richet, a leading physi-
clan, set the ball rolling by the sweep
ing propositi 4 that women should be
compelled by legislation to work only in
the home, as otherwise the future of
the race is jeopardized. The proposal
has been assailed by all feminists, who
reject it in its entirety, but between the
two camps there is middle view. Those
who hold it suggest that, without re-
sorting to radical measures, the time
has come when France should take some
action with regard to female labor.
War Forced Changes.
As with many other problems, this
one is an outcome of the war. The
losses in killed and disabled resulted
in the population of 100000 showing
a preponderance of women over men.
The mobilization Of virtually the entire
valid male population neceSsitated the
presence of women in factories and Of
fees, with a consequent great social
revolution.
Prior to 1914 women were content to
become hOmemGkerS and mothers. EX-
cept in agriculture, through the ages
women have always worked in the fields
in France; female labor was unim-
portant numerically. The great major
ity of the women engaged in gainful &C.
equations worked at home in leisure
moments and home industries were de-
veloped to very large extent.
Now home industries are declining
rapidly, because they cannot compete
Nth factories, to which women are at
tracted more and more. The housing
crisis resulting from the war cit has
ended only in recent months) also
played a part in modifying the social
condition of women. There could be no
question of homemaktng when there
we're no homes to be found. The daugh-
ters of mothers working in factories or
Offices could see no reason why they
should not follow in their footsteps.
AS a consequence of these and other
factors, there are now in France g.
100000 women workers in total fe-
male population of 100000 OF these
there are 1000, 900 engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, as compared with S..

BY A, ]. VILLIERS,

TINE people Of Australia must have
heaved a large sigh of relief
when they read the returns of
Il the Commemorative recent
election and learned that their
fates were in the hands of Joseph
Lyons. One of the latest entrants in
the stormy arena of Australian federal
politics, Mr.. Lyons soon made his mark.
He achieved, first, the distinction of be-
ing elected to cabinet rank by the Labor
caucus even before he had taken his
seat in the House; later, when Prime
Minister Scullin was in England attend
ing the imperial conference, he stood
out against the hot-heads of that same
all-poWerful Labor caucus and guided
AuStralia's finances, in grave danger of
complete breakdown, along sound
lines; and again, when Mr.. Scullin re-
turned to his troubled land, Mr.. Lyons
definitely broke with him and rallied
the forces of sound government to-
gether into what has proved to be a
successful stand.
What manner of man is this, who
after brief two years in federal politics
is now Prime Minister of Australia?
Two years ago few persons outside
Australia had ever heard of Joseph
Aloysius Lyons. He himself has never
been outside Australia. Born and reared
in Tasmania, he had reached full man
hood before he crossed even the narrow
straits which separate that lovely island
from the mainland States of the Com
monwealth. Tasmania is the smallest
and the quietest and the loveliest of the
Australian States; cut off from them by
the sea, it seems cut of in traditions as
well, and the Tasmanian possesses a
greater sense of individuality than the
natives of the mainland States.
Such is the land that bore Joseph
Lyons 81 years ago. His parents were
humble aid he began life with no ad-
vantages. He was born in the north of
Tasmania, about $50 miles from the
Australian main coast. Here the soil
was good and every one titled the land
Potatoes fourished, and cabbages, and,
here and there, apples as well. AS soon

the low rewards. Many Of the men
who did enter its ranks soon left to take
/ better appointments on the mainland.
Not so Joseph Lyons; a Tasmanian he
was born and Tasmanian he intended
to remain. He married another school
teacher, brilliant intellectual woman,
who has been his sturdy helpmate ever
since
A very quiet, modest young man In
those dayS-he still retains the charac-
ter1StlcS to marked degree-at first
he SHE'D from the idea Of entering poll
tics. Here the influence of his young
wife was a great aid-she urged him
on. At the age of 80 he stood for his
first election as Labor member in the
TaSmanian State Assembly. Labor in
those days was looked upon askance in
Tasmania, always the most conservative
OF the Australian states. But Lyons
stood for the Labor cause because there
was nothing else he could stand for.
He thoroughly approved the Labor
Ideals, but he was no firebrand. He
never was a frebrand, and he Is not
now. He never had any revolutionary
ideas, and he has none now.
Stood for Fair Deal.
He never was an agitater;; the de-
struct1ve defeatism of such tactics were
anathema to his intelligence from the
very first. They still are. He stood for
a fair deal for the wUfkingman, for a
fair deal for Tasmania, for sound gov
eminent finance and government con-
troll of banking, for better education for
the people, better opportunities, for Sc
curity, fair wages and homes for all.
Lyons was disturbed by what he had
seen on the farms, distressed by the
poverty of the little children who came
to his schools. His fine nature, swayed
by these things, early turned to the
Labor cause Realistically; he is no less
an idealiSt now. He is no orator now
and he was none then, but he possessed
to a marked degree the power Of ex-
pressing his convictions in lucid, force
full language that all might understand.
He won his first political contest and
went down to the capital OF Tasmania.
