eventually find that women consti-
tute 22.7 per cent of the work
ing population of the country in
ordinary times. And on this 227
per cent the burden of the de-
preston probably has rested most
heavily of all.
Many firms have admittedly dis
charged their women workers and
kept the men on the theory that
the latter were heads of families" p"
So that probably a great many
more than 227 of the unemployed
workers today are women.
And they are getting less than 5
per cent of the work relief
This brings us smack up against
the curious brainstOrm which seems
to overtake the mind of employer
and social worker alike when there
is a question of giving precedence,
in work or charity, to the head Of
a family For it is often the con-
tention of these gentry that single
man can shift pretty well for him
self but that you can not refuse help
to a married man for fear his wife
would starve.
Single Women Starve, Too
Well. single women can starve just
as rapidly as wives. Don't they get
any share of this chivalrous insist
ence on saving the women and chill
dren frSt2
Apparently they don't. They have
had to yield first place on reliet
lists to the heads of families, in
spite of the fact that a lonely,
roaming woman is potentially far
greater social menace than a roam
ing man and wife.
They have not even received such
consideration as was given to the
single men in the form of the ma
tion-wide civilian conservation corps.
Yet there may be projects OF as
great importance to the state as
even reforestation which lie well
within the boundary Of their phys
ical abilities.
Could Make ClOthlng
They might. perhaps, even be at
tached as an auxiliary to the re-
forestation program. now that the
government has started the laudable
project of undoing the mistakes OF
our needless forebears. They might
run hatcheries to restock the ma
tons streams with fish. They
might work on gigantic game bird
farms. replacing the plover and
pheasant and grouse. which are al
most forgotten fare on the Amerl-
can table
They might take over a clothing
factory and supply from it the uni
forms worn by the army and navy,
as well as those handed out to work
ers on government-made jobs and
probably save a pretty penny to the
state as well.
There is plenty of work that the
women could do 10 bring their quota
of made Jobs up to the 22.7 per
cent. which seems. from every So
cial and humanitarian point of view,
to be their due.

HAWAII SEEKS
WALLACE HELP
ON SUGARB|LL
by International News Service

by International News Service
With protests against the
Jones-Costigan sugar bill pouring
In at the War Department from
the Philippines and Puerto Rico,
Territorial Delegate McCandlesS
of Hawaii announced today he
would seek q conference with
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
to obtain the best possible pro-
duction quota for the Hawaiian
Islands Immediately after the
bill becomes law.
Mr.. McCandless expressed dis
satisfaction with the bill, claim
ing Hawaii should have been
given a definite quota since it is
Q part Of the United States.
Under the bill, the Secretary Of
Agriculture may fix q production
quota for the islands based on
any three-year average between
1858.
Secretary Wallace will be asked
by Mr.. McCandleSs to take the
average Of the last three years,
which would amount to an an
nual quota Of nearly q million
tons. Said Mr.. McCandleSS:
"Our present crop, which now
ID In the process Of harvest,
will equal about q million tons.
We will demand that Hawaii
be given fair treatment in the
ALLEGATION Of sugar quotas"
Gov. Gen. Frank Murphy, of
the Philippine Islands, telegraphed
Secretary Of War Dern that the
retroactive character Of the bill,
establishing January l, 1884, as
commencement day for the quota
system, would leave the Philip
pines with q surplus Of $4,000
tons Of sugar or two,thirdS of the
entire years quota under the bill.
Island Warnings Sounded
Governor Murphy said the
Philippine sugar interests had
warned him that the bill newt
ably would deprive hundreds Of
thousands of laborers and families
Of their present livelihood, thereby
probably engendering social dis
order"
Gov. Gen. Blanton Winship, Of
Puerto Rico, telegraphed Dern
that the bill was considered by
the local sugar industry as highly
discriminatory against the island
and most prejudicial to its eco
nomic and social welfare"
