Standardized Hours, PAY
Seen for Houseworkers

Hours and wages for domestic
employees will become standardized
as workers and their employers be-
come better educated, Mrs. Florence
Kerr, director of women's and pro-
fessional projects for the w. P. A..
said yesterday at luncheon given
by workers on the local w. P. A.
Household Service Project.
The best thing about training
girls and women to be houseworkers
is that there is a definite shortage
of trained workers in the domestic
fleld,' Mrs. Kerr said.
Mrs. Ella N. Putnam, supervisor
Of the project, predicted that in
years to come the term domestic"
for home workers will fall into
disuse and that this type of en-
ploye will become as precise and
efficient as an Office worker.
Mrs. Putnam said the odium
that cings to the word domestic
has done as much to keep girls
out of housework as had the low
wages paid. It's still hard, and
will be for Is years possibly, to get
high school graduates interested in
this type of employment.
Others who were guests with Mrs.
Kerr at the luncheon were Mrs.
Blair Banister, assistant United
States treasurer; Mrs Emily Newell
Blair, writer; Mrs. George Thorpe
chairman of the Woman's Safety
Committee; Mrs. Mary Steele, local
director of w. P. A. projects for
women; Mrs. George R. Meyercord
Chicago, and Mrs. Bernice D.
Schultz, assistant local director.

Woman With Scissors
Routs Purse-Snutcher

Would-be urse-snatchers would
do well to avoid Mrs. Bessie Lyman,
40, of 6553 First street NV.
One tried to grab her purse last
night and was quickly routed by
Mrs. Lyman with pair of scissors.
She was standing at Third and Van
Buren streets NV, awaiting a bus
to take her on her way to church,
when a slim, white youth appeared.
He was accompanied by small,
shaggy dog.
AS the youth approached her. Mrs.
Lyman took the scissors from her
pocketbook, just in case, she ex-
planned, she might need them. When
the youth grabbed for her purse, she
countered with a thrust of the scis-
sors. Her first jab brought blood
the scissors jabbing the purse
snatcher in the neck.
The youth fled and Mrs. Lyman
continued on her way.

of cotton goods in the expectation
Of obtaining lower prices.
The Government now has more
than 9 cents pound invested in
the loan cotton and so would take
loss of more than 6 cents a pound
or $50 bale on all cotton claimed
under the loan cotton resale pro-
vision.
Must Comply With Program.
In order to obtain the additional
benefit payments, growers would
have to comply with the existing
cotton program and then market
their crop during the season instead
of placing it under Government
loan. They then would receive an
additional payment of up to S cents
pound in order to bring the sale
price up to IS per cent of parity
price of cotton, now about II cents
a pound.
Thus if a grower received 8 cents
for cotton when marketed, his ad-
justment payment would be 4 cents.
This would be more than the man
datory Government loans of about
cents. Even if cotton dropped to
cents a pound, the additional s.
cent payment for marketing would
be higher than the loan.
Another provision of the Smith
bill would permit release up to
2,500,000 bales of the loan cotton
through a partial loss to the Gov
ernment on its loans.
Two other provisions would:
Release for relief and experimental
purposes after July l, 1910, 1900, 900
bales of loan cotton from the 1894
crop, on which the Government
made a 12-cent loan.
Require that the annual cotton al
location be a minimum Of not less
than 100000 bales.

Few ministers in Altoona's his

by precept and example, Rev.
Hallett has rendered an outstanding
service. not only in Llyswen, but in
the community at large during the
period of twenty-nine years he has
labored in our midst No one can
come into his presence without feel
ing definitely the charm of a lovable
personality and he has been a fear
less expounder of the Word of Truth
whose life has been a benediction
to all who have been in contact with
him
REV. Hallett goes to Milford, Del,

the years that remain to him. All
