Inefficiency a Factor in Low Wages
T TAltRIAOE Is the greatest handicap
JLVJLto a career," declared a stronr
mlnded and unattached lady tho other
day. "No woman who Is married can
really give Up her wholo time and thought
to tho profession she may wish to follow.
For the selfishness of her husband will
certainly step In and prove a hindrance to
her. Then the problematical children form
yet anothor dlmculty, for no woman can
look alter children, a homo and a husbana
and at the same tlmo do really good out
sldo work."
Tho truth of these statements has been
refuted so frequently that casos need not
here bo cited whero women have not only
proved successful wives and mothers,
but, at tho samo time, havo followed ca
reers brlnplng them into public promi
nence. Women doctors, women lawyers,
women writers, artists, business women
U refuto tho Idea that tho married
wftman Is Incapable of doing moro than
one thins at a time, or. to bo accurate,
quite half a dozen distinct and separate
tilings.
I am convinced that marriage In Itsolf
Is not sufficient to satisfy the normal, In
telligent woman. Bho ought to have some
special outside Interest, something beyond
homo and husband and children. It Is
lnmentabto to boo so many women, who
before marriage havo been clever, Inter
esting, up-to-date, independent, suddenly
submtrgo their own Individuality In that
of tho husband and virtually cease to
be an ego at all. Just because a woman
loves a man Is no reason why sho should
lose her own personality and cease to
hold any opinions apart from his. But
that Is too often tho case. And It Is so
desperately bad for the men, too. It cer
tainly tends to make them especially vain.
Oh. these complacent, small-minded lit
tle husbands, who eeck to rule their
wives' minds with a rod of Iron! How In
tolerant they aro of feminine opinion;
how arrogant where any woman Is con
cerned! And it Is tho wives who aro
largely rcsponslblo for this attitude.
"I believe that all women should work,"
declared a prominent Now York business
woman recently; "there Is no reason why
women can't try to do everything that
men do. And women should work for
tnelr living Just as men do now. They
will have moro respect for themselves,
their husbands will have more respect
for them, and so will their children. A
man loves u woman Just because she Is
an Independent, thinking being, and Im
mediately he marries her she becomes
something else. Ho Is cheated. In tho
same way, I don't think that any woman
who has mado a name for herself should
change It because she Is fond, of a man.
"Why should sho give up the advertising
odvantago that lies in the namo she has
made for herself?"
This business woman, however, Is cer
tain that only the exceptional woman Is
blg-mlndcd enough to go In for a career
Iti the whole-hearted way men do. "The
average working woman of today Is In
efficient." she says. "Only tho exceptional
, woman, who works becauso she wants to,
Is of any great moment."
"But even when all women work, as
work they must, the Inferiority of all but
the exceptional woman will not bo al
tered. And why will thoy continue to be
inferior in accomplishment to men
That's easy. They don't know how and
they won't learn how to really work. It's
Just as I said. They aren't blg-mlnded.
The women who are In business today
are there because they have to; because
In a lot of coses somebody Is dependent
upon them. And Just as tho man who
was daring and had Initiative before ho
was married loses those qualities
because ho must take caro of his wife
CHILDREN'S CORNER
Bluey Blackbird
Mr. Garden Toad sat In the gravel of
the garden path and enjoyed the warm
sunshine. "How much better off am I,"
he thought to himself, "than the poor
benighted toads who scramble for a liv
1ns along- tho brook!" Ha blinked his
eyes and rest4 a while. Then he thought
again (toads never think and rest at the
same time, It's too confusing), "poor
things, thoy have to Jump and hunt and
work for their food. Whllo I, In this
pleasant garden, only snap my lips shut
whtn I want a fly and 'presto!' I have
one!"
He lay there so contented and happy
that he hardly made the effort to breathe.
Jutt then Bluey Blaokblrd hopped along
the path.
"Clood rooming to you!" said Bluey,
very pollte-llke (he rather stood in awa
of Mr. Harden Toad and was always
careful to speak to him politely). "How
re you this tine morning?"
'Very well, I thank you." replied the
toad Ullly." "Hope you are the same
likewise." Ie blinked one eye sleepily,
so that Bluey would understand that he
wanted U reet and not talk it was too
warm and sleepy a day for visiting.
But Bluey didn't notice the blink, so of
coarse be didn't take the hint Mr. Gar

settled himself In the path for a visit.
'FlwJMw good flies, this merlins?" he
asked."

By Ellen Adair
and his children, sho Is afraid to do any
thing nt all, Sho shows thoso symptoms
of fear all the time. And mojo than that.
Bho Just drifts along. Sho Is content
to be a stenographer all her life. She docs
so much and no more. Tou couldn't put
tho average man In a place like that
without seeing him sooner or later poking
around somewhoro else doing a bit bo-
sides tho stipulated amount, Just because
he was Interested. I have some stenog
raphers here that I havo been trying to
stir up for years, and I havo Just given
up the Job as hopeless."
"I think thcro should be equal pay for
equal work," she continued, "but there
must bo equal work. Tho foutt lies most
with tho women. They apply for a posi
tion and toko what Is offered them. But
If they demand a good, high wago they
will get It. Their employers will rcpcct
them for asking It. And If thoy nsk for a
lot of money and got It, they will take
tho troublo to bo worth It. Why do
stenographers recelvo such low wages?
Why do men offer them about one-halt
what they give men stenographers? Be
cause they know that women aro Ineffi
cient." And until women make up their minds
to bo more efficient and moro Interested
In their work, Just so long will they re

The Daily Story
Another Girl in the Case
The fireman Jerked open his flannel
shirt a button lower, and glared re
sentfully at the two well-dressed young
men who were examining with amused
Interest tho small drivers and cylinders
of his engine.
"Not a Pegasus, evidently," remarked
one.
"No, nor yet a Hebe," laughed thj
other.
"If you two mutts are kicking against
Old 18, you'd better cut It out," 'inter
posed the fireman, angrily-
"Wo meant no disrespect," answered
the older of tho two, courteously, "our
attention was attracted becauso we'd
never seen one llko It before."
"Tho old girl le no beaut," continued
tho flroman, softening somowhat, "but
sho Jumped from hero to Boston at n
mlle-n-mlnuto clip one day last month."
"That's a mighty good record we felt
there must be something romarkablo
about her," returned one, nppeaslngly.
"If you've got a story and I'm suro
you havo como down and give It to us,"
urged the other, smiling wlnnlngly.
"Sho was a warm baby In hor day,"
began tho mollified fireman, "but she's
shed her cow-knocker and for a good
many years she's been dolnjr nothing bet
ter than poking b6xcars and flats nrounil
hero In the yard. But alio got hor dander
up that day, and yanked us over tho rails
In great shnpo."
"Something special, "I suppose," encour
nged tho older man, passing his cigar
case.. " 'Something special!' Well, I should
s.iy," emphasized the fireman, "wo were
t.io special! Throe of us and Old IS."
He rounded his lips, and allowed tho
cigar smoko to escapo In a long, vapor
ous cylinder.
"It wai Sunday nftornoon," rcmlnls
cently, "nnd nbout 3 o'clock, when a.
young feller Jumped off tho trolley up
there," Indicating tho street where tho
trolley car ran to Andovcr, "nnd camo
slamming down Into the station, ns red
In the fnco ns If ho had buttoned a nest
of hornets In with his vest. Ho bumned
Into old Buster that's tho station ngent,
and honied for a special.
"Uustor told him ho wa'n't running
specials ns a side lino, and thero wa'n't
nothing about the yard anyway but Old
18, and an old shifter llko that was hardly
the thing for n special.
"Well, the young feller talked nil kinds
of languages, nnd showed nil kinds of
money. He wanted to go to New Haven.
He'd got a telegram, but It didn't reach
him until after 2 o'clock, nnd ho'd got
to be In Boston In time to catch tho 1
p. m. shortllno express from tho South
Station. Thero was no connections, nnv
way, from here, and tho special ho must
have. It seems ho was n student nt tho
Phllllpo Academy In Andovcr and a rat
tling good feller, ho wns, too."
Tho ilrcman, artful story-teller, paused
to whet tho Interest of his listeners, nnd
puffed his clgnr enjoyably.
-I'll net there's a girl at tho other
end of the lino!" cried tho man who
w,ob looking for stories.
"Or a fortune," hazarded the other.
Tho fireman grinned at both impar
tially. "Tho young feller's namo was Hart,
nnd ho liad a might convlncln' tongue in
him, and tho way ho slung his arguments
nt old Buster showed he knew the way
to a man's Insldo heart. Ho roped in
Engineer Dnn Duffy. oo; and Dan said
Old IS would do tho trick If ho could
have the road.
"Old Buster kept tho key tapping, and
Conductor Tom Collins picked out tho
'short-end' for tho train. Then Buster
got tho word back from Boston 'All
right. Givo jou tho road,' and In Just 23
minutes from tho tlmo young Hart had
blew In with his roll nnd his convlncln'
eloquence, DufTy throwed tho throttle
wide open, nid tho old hooker dashed
down tho llr.o as If she'd been on her
trial trip. I Jammed her with pine
knots soaked In kerosene, and Duffy
never took his eyes off tho rails.
"Old 18 soon showed her mcttlo, nnd
no big engine passed us that Duffy
didn't get n hand from tho cab. Hart
was gamo wo couldn't go too fast for
him, and at easy stretches we must havo
Btruck a mllo a mlnuto. It wns Just
2:45 to a dot when we plunged Into the
long train houso nt tho North Station, old
IS snorting ond humping- llko she un
derstood she was a special.
"All the way from Beading to Boa
ton In Just 15 minutes and 30 seconds,
nnd wo reckon tho run at Just about
1 miles! I could almost see old 18
winking her weather eyo at some of
them bix slx-wheelers; and tho kind of
a you've-dld-wcll-Slssy air that they
seemed to havo 88 they looked down
at her wns enough to make a man
laugh a man who can see them things,
you know."
Tho flremnn paused and anxiously
regarded his dead cigar.
"Young Hart mada his train, of
course?"
"Oh, yes; he had plenty of time. He
Jumped over to tho other station on the
'L,,' and we let Old 18 cool oft a little,
nnd then she hitched back to Reading.
But I've kinder noticed a new pitch to
her whistle ever since, and I reckon the
old girl knows she done a big thing that
day."
"Light up again," urged the seeker
after stories, handing the cigar case,
"that Isn't all?" suggestively.
"No; about two weeks after that, young
Hart run over from Andover one day
and give one of these 'ere things to old
Buster one to Tom Collins, one to Dnn
Duffy, and one to me; and mine," tri
umphantly, 'Is as big a Jim Dandy as the
others they're all Just alike."
He took n small velvet case from his
pocket, handling it gingerly with hla
grimy fingers.
One of his companions took U end
pressed the spring, disclosing a small
scarfpln a knot of gold with a tiny dla
mond point
"That 'ere little stone's a real diamond,"
said the Jlreman, proudly, "no ground
glass about that! I wear It when I drese
up and go some places."
"It's all right a fine thing," admired
his new friends.
"Well, good-by them's good cigar see
you again some time, maybe," dropping
the velvet case Into his pocket and turn
ing toward his cab.
"Hold on," cried the story gatherer,
catching him by the arm, "that Isn't alt
what about the 8lrl In Kew Haven?"
"The fireman grinned tantallzlngly;
then his face sobered.
"I'm afraid you two gents is going to
be disappointed; there ain't no girl in this
story only the women that every mart
owes his best to. A man may have half a
dozen sweethearts, If he's lucky, hut he
never can have but one mother," raising
his greasy eP reverently. "Hart's mother
was dying, they thought, that day when
old U bumped herself over the rails with
the boy. but she got well, and It was
her that sent us the pins.

MOTHER LEADS REBELLIOUS GIRL
BRIDE TO SCHOOL AND BACK AGAIN
Such Is the Blight That Has Settled Upon the Budding Romance
of 15-Y ear-Old Anna French and Youthful Htisband
She Took at Elkton.
No more fearful blight could have
been oast upon the budding; romance of
15-year-old Anna L. French and Edward
Poore, the youthful Colllngswood couple
who eloped to Klkton a few weeks ago
and perjured themselves so that they
could be made man and wife, than that
now being perpetrated by Anna's motlier,
Mrs. Edna French.
Like a recalcitrant torn-boy, the girl
bride Is being taken to school every
morning by the determined mamma, who
had decided not to let her daughter out
of her slgfy. And to advertise further her
shame, Sirs. French attar sehool hours
haunts the high sehool where Anna Is a
pupil and bring her home by sheer force.
The reason Is, of course, that Anna
has been separated from her erstwhile
spouse and annulment proceedings Insti
tuted. But Anna doesn't want to be separated.
She says so again and again, and that's
where the, rub comes in. The separation
is entirely a maternal measure-
"I'm going back to him just as soon
as I get the chance." the rebellious girl
reiterates again and again, according to
her youthful sister, and for that reason
Mrs. French has decided not to let the
girl away from the shadow of the home
at 15 Lees street.
As for Ed Poore, the husband, he
doesn't want Anna back Just yet. He
said so himself yesterday. lie's wilting

COLONEL HOUSE SEES
NO CHANCE FOR PEACE
President Wilson's Friend,
Back From Europe, Reports
War Feeling Is Unchanged.
ROSLIN, L. I Juno 11.
Colonel V. M. House, who slipped down
hero yesterday as soon as ho got back
from his four months' stay abroad, said
that ho saw no chance for peace In Eu
rope. Moreover, ha asserted that tho
United States "never had the Job of
peacemaker" and ho denied that his trip
had been undertaken as President Wil
son's unofficial envoy on rt mission of
peace. Colonel Houso brought to an end
nn Interview during which ho declined to
answer many questions and smiled away
many others by saying when asked If he
would accept tho place of Secretary of
State, that It hadn't been offered to him.
Tho Colonel never for a mlnuto shook
tho belief of his Interviewers that ho was
tho President's personal representative
abroad, and a closo one, too. He ad
mitted that ho might go to Washington
tonight to ceo the President, although
ho snld ho didn't know: ho mlgnt not go
lor two or three days.
colonel Houso said that ho talked with
all tho high Government officials of
Great Britain, France and Germany. Ho
saw and talked with everybody high In
ouiciai circles except tho Kaiser and King
Goorgo. And ho also conferred with Her
bert C. Hoover, American chief agent In
London for tho Belgian relief.
Colonel House wns the guest of Ambas
sador Gerard In Berlin, from whero ho
went to Switzerland for a few days.
Then ho returned to London nnd was
thcro when tho Lusltanla was sunk and
when tho President's first noto wns sent
to Germany. Tho result of what ho saw
and all that ho heard convinced htm, he
said, of tho hopelessness of peaco now.
"Everybody Is tired of tho war," ho
said, "but thero Is no diminution In the
support of tho people. There Is no chango
fn tho popular feeling. I was Impressed
by tho hopeful spirit. They nil have It.
They aro equally confident of winning."
