JOHNSTOWN WOMAN
VICTIM OF GUNSHOTS.
Mrs. Stella Shaffer, wife of Ro-
land B. Shaffer, of Johnstown, is a
patient in the Memorial hospital, in
that city, suffering with a gunshot
wound in the right side of the chest
and another through the upper part
of the right arm. The bullets were
fired by Mrs. Joseph DiBartola, a
jealousy-crazed woman because, she
alleged, her husband, a prominent
Johnstown merchant, was too inti-
mate with Mrs. Shaffer.
Mrs. Shaffer is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar McMullen, of Cole-
ville, who were visitors at the
Shaffer home at the time of the
shooting while Mr. and Mrs. Shaf-
fer's daughter, Miss Eleanor, was
here visiting friends at Coleville.
The shooting took place about ten
o'clock Sunday night. DiBartola had
taken Mr, and Mrs. Shaffer, Mr.
and Mrs. McMullen and two boys
for an outing at an amusement park
near the city on Sunday afternoon.
They returned about ten o'clock at
night, Mr. DiBartola driving to the
Shaffer home. As Mrs. Shaffer was
walking from the car to the house
two shots were heard and she drop-
ped to the ground unconscious. A
woman was seen running away, but
it was too dark to recognize her.
Mrs. Shaffer was removed to the
hospital and an examination reveal.
ed a shot in the right breast and
one in the right arm. Neither one,
however, is believed to be serious
and the woman’s recovery is ex-
pected.
On Monday morning Mrs, Di-
Bartola, who is fifty years old and
the mother of eight children, walk-
ed to the central police station, ac-
companied by her son Philip, and
gave herself up. She then stated,
“I did not want to kill her, but
wanted to scare her so she would
stay away from my Joe.” Mrs. Di.
Bartola claims her husband has been
friendly with Mrs. Shaffer for three
years.

thirteen years old, she became a
member of the Methodist church
and in May, 1875, she was chosen

ment of the Methodist Sunday

children and the last to pass away.

BIRTH OF OUR NATICN.
Late in ‘the afternoon of the
Fourth of July, 1776, the old bell in
the statehouse at Philadelphia rang
out a joyous peal. A few moments
before, exhausted by the great heat
and vexed to desperation by a mul-
titude of flies, the fathers of this
country’s liberties had unanimously
adopted the Declaration which sev-
ered the Thirteen Colonies from
Great Britain and made the United
WHY WOMEN TAKE JOBS.
If you cling to the old maxim
that women’s place is in the home,
read over the recent bulletin from
the United States Women’s Bureau.
This bulletin reveals that: women
in increasing numbers are being
called on to support their families.
Out of 30,000 families investigat-
ed, for instance, 27 per cent were
supported entirely by the wages of
their women members.
Of 17,000 unmarried women stud-
ied, one in five was supporting a
family unaided.
An enormous proportion of city
families is depending wholly or in
part on the money earned by wives
and daughters. In certain industries
which employ women, 65 per cent
of the women working are married.
Evidently the woman who marries
for economic security stands a fair
chance of getting badly stung. In-
stead of being freed fromthe neces.
sity of supporting herself; she may
have to pitch in and help support,
Bot only herself, but her husband as
well.
Yet we have no breadlines, no un-
rest, no nation wide exhibit of suf.
fering, despite the fact that we are
continually harboring this enormous
number of men who cannot get
work. Why? Well, Mr. Chase sus-
pects that the women worker hasa
good bit to do with it. Many and
many a family in which the bread-
winner has lost his job has been
saved from starvation by the fact
that the breadwinner’s wife has
gone to work as a salesgirl or tele-
phone operator.
We won't know what the remedy
for all of this is until competent
economists have studied the whole
thing more carefully. Meanwhile,
however, it is oblivious that some.
thing is wrong somewhere, Our
prosperity can’t be quite all it is
cracked up to be if it is placing a
constantly increasing economic bur-
den on women.
It would seem that there are sev-
eral things back of this recent in-
flux of women into the realm of
jobs. It isn’t apparently, the out-
growth of a sudden desire, on the
part of womankind, for freedom.
The marriage or career stories writ-
ten by our popular fiction produces
—how idiotic they sound, now that
the real facts are coming out!
Most working women, one concludes,
are working because they have to,
not because they want to. The mod-
ern world is giving them, not a
new freedom, but a new duty.
Stuart Chase, in his recent book,
“Prosperity: Fact or Myth,” sheds
a bit of light on the subject.
One out of every 13 male wage-
earners in the United States, he es-
| timates, is always out of a job. The
“technological unemployment” that
our engineers talk about— the re-
| placement of worker by labor-saving
machinery—is giving us an army
of jobless men that averages around
3,000,000.
