Woman Railroad Exeeu- five Makes Assertion
 from Experience
By AURELIUS kINSEY AP Feature Service Writer

CHICAGO, Dec 15.-Mrs. Edith Jarvis Alden used to play in the home offices of the Burlington Railroad at Burlington Iowa, when she was little girl Today, at 54, she is secretary of the road, the first woman high executive the Burlington has had in it's eighty eight gears of existence.
 Big business offers women many opportunities, Mrs. Alden says, "and one of the best ways for a woman to attain success is to understand that she is participant Ing in a mans world and should adapt herself to do things a mans way.
 Striking Out Alone
 T believe every girl should have business training, regardless of her station in life. She may have her heart set upon marriage and family as a career but a little knowledge of business require ments and methods will help her understand better some of the hus- bands problems. And, too. she may have to strike out alone and sup port herself some day"
 As far back as Mrs. Alden can remember someone in her family worked for the Burlington road. Her uncle, Walter J. Jarvis; her father, Harry E. Jarvis, and an older brother, Fred s. Jarvis, were secretaries to Burlington presi- dents, presidents or division superintendents.
 As a child she heard the Burling- tons business, board meetings, mortgages and policies discussed time and again. So it seems natural to her that the Burlington should be the major part of her life now.
 Started During War
 Mrs Alden started to work for the railroad during the World War. She helped handle Liberty Bond sales to it's employees. She contin- ued with the road and recently was elected to succeed Charles L. Sturgis, 78 as secretary, when he retired after 58 years of service.
 Railroading offers few oppor- tI1nitiec tO women Mrs Aldpn says, but she doesn't think that they are greater than those in any other business. Her work for in- stance, is filled with details, legal interpretations and application that thrill her, but might bore the next woman.
 She tried mixing housework and business, but found the days were too short for both. So she stuck to railrOading.
 The Aldens were separated by divorce in 1923. Mrs. Alden lives with her twenty six year-old son, John Jarvis Alden. His interests lean toward radio, advertising, music and writing. The two enjoy a close companionship
 Mrs. Alden has variety of hob bies, topped by her desire to grow flowers, get out into the open coun- try, swim and travel. She chooses books relating the experiences of

'. $. AGAIN THE GOAT

Besides calling attention to such maneuvers, Ambassador Wilson also protested in series of notes against the German practice of assuming responsibility for Austria's debts to other nations but refusing to accept responsibility for Austria's debts to
 he United States.
 The German answer was that she had a balance of trade with ether nations which left her with spare exchange to pay on bonds. With the U. S., however, the bal 'ance of trade is the other way, so there arg no spare dollars to pay off German dollar bonds. Ambassa- . dor Wilson didn't think that sound- cd so good. not while Germany was able to get money to buy bonds at cut rates but could not find money to pay for them at an honest dol far for dollar.
 Incidentally, a couple of South American countries have played the same trick in the United States. Chile is going about it systemati- cally, with regular government fund. Certain Brazilian states did it also, buying up bonds which had slumped when interest payments stepped. Lately, Brazil has backed away from it.

LIQUOR; A SERIOUS PROBLEM

South Cardinals tax commission is seeking at
this time to convince the legislature that more
teeth" should be placed in this states liquor laws
Such action is needed.
1t is not matter of curbing the sales made by
the legally endorsed and tax-paying stores. 1t is
simply the matter of preserving for these stores the
right they have purchased to sell liquor. In short,
it is to protect both them and the public at large
from the bootlegger and all the evil that emanates
from his works.
We have long maintained that the maximum
amount of liquor possessable under the law should
be one gallon.
That we still maintain
Liquor is serious problem. 1t should be dealt
with in no uncertain manner, and if its sale is to
be permitted that sale should be controlled to an
extent totally discouraging to the bootleggng ee-
ment
This thing of letting a one-lung filling station
keep so pns or 40 pints of stamped liquor on hand
without fear of arrest should not be tolerated The
tax commission is right in demanding that the law
be frightened and the citizens of South Carolina are
expecting the legislature to help the law enforce
ment agencies to the extent that they will be able
to further curb booegging of liquor in this state
