Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Recently a number
Of articles have appeared in local
papers advocating as cure for the
present economic crisis the manda-
tory withdrawal of married women
from industry. One such paragraph
states That wives are not doing
interesting office work because of
the desire to develop and exercise
latent powers or to participate in
the struggle of today, as much as it
is their desire for money and posi-
ton"
wonder just how many would
be left in industry if pay envelopes
were not forthcoming. While many
vitality are interested in their Jobs
as such, the economic reason is the
real reason most of us are on the
job, and sex or the marital status
OF the worker has little to do with
the need for money.
In His infinite wisdom, God Gre

servant, but his co-worker. When

others see different lines of en-
deavor as their life work. This new
competition is unwelcome to the
men who are not sure of them
selves and the present industrial
crisis has been their cue to agitate
women's removal from industry.
So that they may have apparent
justification for their policy, they
have fabricated the pleasant fic-
ton that married women do not
need jobs. Unfortunately, this is
not borne out by facts. Of the mil
lion married women gainfully en-
ployed in this country, unbiased
statistics show that 95 per cent are
working because of economic neces-

pin money workers.

until the night of Nov. 10.
He says, however, that the most
spectacular shower is to be expected
on the night of Nov. 16. He adds,
however, that it is likely to occur a
night earlier or later.

The result is a display of shooting

AS noted before, the expected dis

to the gravitational pull Of the

We are, and have been dealing
with credit-paper promises, based
on what might, could, or would be
done, if and when.
When the allies touched this
government for ten billion dollars,
they merely asked it for credit.
The only way this government
could grant such an enormous
credit was by issuing bonds and
borrowing from the people.
In other words, the transaction
began with the confidence of the
American people in their own gov

1t goes without saying that all
people have more confidence in
their own government than in any
other. For this reason, a govern

IT SEEMS TOME BY HR REG1%

THIS is going to be a column
l. without politics. Not a single
major issue will be discussed nor
any of the names of leaders great
or late and lamented.
And SO it will ramble and deal
with trivial subjects, such as the
fact that if you give columnist a
bad name that reputation will stick.
Years ago I encouraged the idea
that I was dowdy dresser. There
may even have been a grain of
truth in it. But after a while it
became a line-almost a pose. And
for five years I have been trying to
live it down.
AS a matter of fact, at the pres
ent time I have a valet and three
suits of clothes, the gray and the
blue and the brown. The brown
has a patch over the right knee on
account of trying to get into a
rumble seat, but the two others are
new.
These suits are pressed regularly
once a week, whether they need it
or not. But what good does it do
me? Absolutely none whatsoever.
I went the other day to Cleveland,
and a newspaper man interviewed
me.
I didn't know that would be in
terviewed, but just to be on the
safe side I took with me the extra
pair of pants for the gray suit. And
I packed this garment carefully
myself at the bottom of the bag.

Should Owe Own People

A S one who pretends to no ex-
L n pertnesS in economics, it strikes
me that the first essential of a salts
factory war debt settlement is to
alter the credit set-up so that each
government will owe it's own people,
or such outsiders as are willing to
buy it's securities.
AS now arranged, the inter-
national debt situation represents a
kind of tribute in the popular mind.
Germans resent having to dig up so
much for France each year, and
though, in lesser degree, perhaps,
Frenchmen, Englishmen, Italians,
BelgianS, and many others resent
the idea of having to dig up so much
for the United States.
This feeling becomes more in
tense as time goes on, leading to
excuses on the one hand, and
irritation on the other. 1t will be a
thorn in the side of the peace move
ment as long as it lasts.

Would End Chaos

MEANWHILE, it seems clear that
1V1 if we can afford to trust the
governments that owe us, their own
people can, and that there is moth
ing to prevent them from issuing
bonds to their own people and pay
ing us whatever amount may be
agreed to in cash.
Such a settlement would leave
each government free to handle it's
own debt problem and end one of
the worst and most confusing inter-
national entanglements that ever
existed.
The last twelve years should have
shown us the folly of attempting to
carry out the plot of debt as orig
inally conceived. We have no cur
rency system or collecting agency
adequate to do the job.
This still is world of sovereign
states, and state obligations should
be readjusted to fit that basis.

The War Debt Set-Up Gould

Government Would OUe It's
OlOn People.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Dry and
' disagreeable as it is, the sub
ject of war debts seems entirely ap-
propriate to Armistice day. Maybe
that is why England decided to
bring it up at this particular mo-
ment. through some contend that
she was moved to do so by Governor
Roosevelt's victory.
Putting such speculations aside,
it is not bad thing to recall what
the war cost.
Had taxpayers been given any,
thing like fair break in history,
war would be far less popular than
it is.
This is one occasion when bonds,
notes, and accounts payable play a
real part. Let us be fair enough
with posterity to make the most
of it.
All the gold in the world was not
sufficient to pay one years interest
on the debt to which humanity had
bound itself when the armistice was
signed.

Brilliant Display of Meteors
Expected By Astronomers
in November.
A STRONOMERS are hoping for
L = more brilliant shower of
shooting stars this month than have
been seen at any time in the last
sixty years.
They are pinning their hope on
the November meteors, known al
the Leonids, because they appear
to originate in the constellation of
lion, or Leo.
These celestial fireworks are seen
each year in November. But every
thirty-three years they are par
ticularly brilliant. In 1888, the dis
play was so brilliant that it seemed
as though the whole sky was rain
ing fire.
In fact, this spectacular event
aroused so much interest in the
scientific world that the modern
study of meteors may be said to
have been put in motion by it.
Again, in 1866, there was a most
spectacular and brilliant display of
shooting stars. On the night OF
Nov. Is, 1866, so many meteors were
seen flashing across the sky that
observers near London were unable
to record all of them.
They came so rapidly that the
astronomers we're able only to note
the brighter ones.
A spectacular shower was ex-
pected in 1899, but to the great sur
prise and disappointment of the
astronomers. it did not take place.
Astronomers now are convinced
that the planet Jupiter was to blame
for the lack Of a show in 1899
In 1880 and 1881 the November
showers were extremely good and it
is for that reason, that astronomers
expect big show this month.

Additional evidence that some where in these waters there are large shrimp beds, was brought to Seward by Capt. Leonard Green berger, in port to purchase new gear, having lost about a mile of gear last week.
 While cleaning halibut and cod he discovered they were full of shrimp, part or partly digested, and appeared to be of fair size. But a thorough prospecting trip after crabs brought no results.
 Captain Greenberger and his shipmate, Pat Brant, fished in 40 and 160 fathoms of water off Rugged Island and the south side of Fox Island.
 The fishermen have good log cabin in Sunny Bay, short run from their fishing grounds. They leave for their base in a few days.
