8 WOMEN— THEIR INTERESTS AND PROBLEMS U Tho In cider" BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE AW I/lOWtW VAN DE WATER CHAPTER IV. (Copyright, 1916, Star Company) That noon Mrs. Gore, Grace and I lunched together. At one side of the large dining room, over against tlio wall, stood a much smaller table than the one at which we were seated. Mrs. Gore at tracted my attention to this. "That is where you and Grace will take your breakfast," she explained. "Grace and her attendant have al ways sat there when my brother-in law is here. So. of course, that will continue now. Since the trained at tendant left, and Maggie has had charge of the child. Grace has been allowed to sit at this big table with her father in the mornings. We three." she added to Grace "that is. Miss Dare, you and myself will have our luncheon t6gether." "And won't I sit with Daddy at breakfast any more?" the child asked wistfully. "Xo." The aunt shook her head. "You and Miss Dart will both sit at the other table. You see," she ex plained to me. "I take my breakfast in my room." "And what about dinner at night?" I questioned. I wanted to l>e sure that I understood what was expected of me-' "Grace has her hearty meal at noon." the widow said. "Mr. Norton and I dine at seven-thirty. At half past six Grace has a simple repast at tlio side table, in which you will join her. Then you can accompany her up to her room. She is usually in bed by half-past seven." "I understand," I said. Of course I understood, and yet I felt a slight surprise that I. Eliza beth Dart, as well-born as this wo man, should not sit at the family board at night. Then 1 called myself sharply to task for thinking of such matters. Why should I care if my charge and 1 breakfasted and took an early supper at a side-table? Since I was to lunch daily with the sister-in-law of my employer, she must consider me of sufficient re finement to associate with nice people. NEWS OF THE URGE PERRY ROAD ON LEGISLATURE State Officials Point Out the Importance of Counties Co operating Now A delegation numbering more than one hundred and fifty persons from Allegheny, Butler, Lawrence, Mercer, Crawford and Erie counties, was here yesterday to urge the Erie-Pittsburgh highway. The delegation was so large that the State Highway Department officers were too cramped and the delegation meeting was held in the , Senate caucus room. The meeting was presided over by Mayor Miles B. Kitts, of Erie, and the object of tho meeting was explained by Frank I. Goilmar. of Pittsburgh. The Governor was the next speaker. He told the delegation thai he con sidered that they were justified in asking the improvement of this im portant main-line highway. The Gov ernor was followed by J. F. Moore, ol' Erie. He told of the growth of the 1 sentiment for this particular highway and expressed the desire that the ef forts of those who had been laboring to bring it about would be rewarded with success: State Highway Commissioner Black was then introduced. He said that he fully agreed with Governor Brum,- ltaugh that the road should be built at the earliest possible minute but he - said that the problem confronting the State Highway Department, in this as in all other instances, was that of get ting sufficient money for the purpose. Commissioner Black said that he thought the time had come for the people of Pennsylvania to realize that they must shut their eyes and spend money in order to have this important highway situation cleared up. He ex plained fhat he meant by that that the time had passed for a penny-wise pound-foolish policy in highway con struction. The commissioner cited a table of appropriations to show how much money would become available on each million of an appropriation made to the department for road construc tion in the counties through which the Pittsburgh-Erie road would pass. He said that these figures showed that it would be necessary either to increase the appropriation which the depart ment intends asking for from the 1917 Legislature four times or else to set co-operation from the counties through which the road passed. This could be done, he explained, if each county would contribute an amount equal to the amount which the State Highway Department would apportion that county. This would leave a bal ance of a few hundred thousand dol lars which, he stated, he believed the citizens of Erie and Pittsburgh would be glad to contribute. Following Commissioner Black's ad dress, Senator Eyre, of Chester coun ty, chairman of the Senate committee on Public Boads and Hihgways, was Interested. He told the Western dele gation that the experience of the coun ties in the East had been that the State Highway Department is only too anxious to help those who help th.mseives and that his county had been one of the first to contribute for State highway construction. He urged the Pittsburgh-Erie Highway advo cates to form an association and to raise contributions to meet the State in the construction of the road they wanted. At the conclusion of Senator Eyre's address the meeting adjourned.

Such a luncheon as was now set be fore us was more substantial and much more elaborate than my own dinner had ever been. Surely then a simple supper at night would be all I required. j A Good Meal 1 was confirmed in my opinion when, at half past six that evening, ' Grace and 1 were summoned to the dining-room and took our seats at the small table, where places were laid i for two. Julia, the %vaitresa, stood by and attended* us ceremoniously. | The "simple repast" consisted of bread and milk for Grace, a chop and | baked potato for me, cocoa and rice ; pudding for us both. "Please Miss, would you prefer fruit?" Julia questioned as she | brought in the dessert. "There's ! a-plenty of fruit here if you would like it." | "Oh, no. thank you," I said. "I have everything 1 need." I spoke the truth. I was satis fied physically and mentally with my present surroundings. As we began to eat our sweet, I heard a man's step tin the hall, and. turning, beheld j standing in the doorway my new em ployer. He wore a dinner-coaf, and I noted, again, the air of prosperity that had impressed me when I first saw him. As he came forward, X rose from my ' chair. "Please keep your seat!" he or dered quickly. Then, as with an ex clamation of delight, Grace slipped down from lier cliair and ran to him, he stooped, and, lifting her in his arms, kissed her. Then he bowed to me. "Good evening. Miss Dart," he said. "Grace, go back to your seat, darling." As the child obeyed him, he said: "I meant. Miss Dart, to get in a little earlier this evening, so that I might have a talk with you about your new jiuties. However, there will be time enough for that later. I was detained downtown longer than usual this afternoon." I felt that his eyes were fixed upon j me and looked at him to make sure I that I was not mistaken. He was PRINTING RULE i PASSES THE HOUSE Chief Clerk Given Authority to Let Contracts and Approve Orders The House last evening concurred in the Crow resolution to confer on the chief clerk of the Department of | Printing and Binding, authority to act as chief of the department in case of a vacancy and legislators say that Chief Clerk Bell can now go ahead I and advertise for contracts for State | printing to be let on February 27 and j sign payrolls and orders for pr'..iting. !

HOUSE IS BURNED York Railway's Auditor 111 at Shore, Was About to Return York, Pa.. Feb. 7. While the • home of John J. Landers, auditor of the York Railways Company, was be ing heated tip yesterday in prepara tion for the return of the family from Atlantic City, where they had .gone for the benefit of Mr. lenders' | health, he having just recovered from serious Illness, the house look fire. It 1 was destroyed. The loss is several j thousand dollar*. gazing down at me, but glanced away quickly. Something in the look it was almost liko surprised ad miration made me suddenly self conscious. I A Visit in Store "Grace," I remarked, seeing that : the child had finished her supper, j "we must be going upstairs now, 1 think, dear. "Good night!" I said to my employer as ho stood to one side ; to allow us to pass. "I will probably see you later," he informed me. "I usually come up to ! tell Grace good night after she is in j bed." "Daddy always comes up to see me," the little girl told me as she and i I mounted the stairs hand in hand; "except, of course, when he has com pany. Then, if the company comes . very early, he can't get away. It • would not be polite," she added quaintly. As 1 undressed her and made her ready for the night she prattled on \of her father. Her reticence was slipping from her, now that she was becoming accustomed to me. "Daddy has company a whole lot of times," she continued. "Lots of I gentlemen come here to dinner with • hitn quite often. Auntie says it's be cause he's lonely he asks them to come. There's a good many nights he goes out, too because people ask him to take dinners and things in their houses. You see. if I didn't have to go to bed he wouldn't be so lonely in the evenings." "But," I said thoughtlessly, "he has your auntie to keep him com- I pany." "Auntie!" as if surprised at my j ignorance. "She's not much com pany. Company's somebody that's i jolly, isn't it? Auntie's not well enough to be very jolly. That's why I have a governess to be company for me; and to teach me, too, of course. You see, you are my com pany. You're jolly, you know." I smiled into her great eyes, but my heart ached for tho lonely little creature. 1 hoped that I would indeed prove to be "company" for her. (To Be Continued) SENATE PASSES PROBE MEASURE Senator Vare Arouses Laugh ter in the Course of His Attack on Bill The Sproul resolution for investiga tion of the government of Pennsylva nia was passed by the Senate last evening shortly before 6 o'clock by a vote of 2 9 to 19 after it had been denounced as unfair and praised as something of great importance to the State. The largest crowd gathered in the Senate? chamber in years listened to a debate for an hour and a half and speculated on what the vote would be. The strength claimed by the Pen rose people practically materialized and all but one of the Democrats voted for the resolution. Senator Burke. Allegheny,, led off with an attack on the resolution in the 1 course of which he asserted that it was i revenge for forcing through human!- ■ tarian legislation last session and then Senator P. W. Snyder, Blair, assailed the resolution and suggested a confer- ! ence of senators which did not take! very well. Senator Leiby then made his maiden speech and grew eloquent 1 as he rapped Republicans and express ed the idea that while the Democrats did not like the resolution thev would j be for it rather than get nothing. 1 Senator \ are then proceeded to de- 1 fend the governor and in a speech' filled with humorous allusions and homely expression paid his respects to the opponents of the Governor. He said the Governor was the best in his time, and tJiat some of those throwing stones at him were'living in glass houses. He raised a laugh when lie said that the Philadelphia row was not the cause of the whole ruction and when he declared the Quaker City had "good, decent, clean elec tions. After twitting his colleagues he wound up by saying he was on the right side even if his friend, Senator Sproul, was not with him. Senator Charles A. Snyder. Schuylkill, closed' the debate in a speech in which he turned the twitting from Vare and said that the Governor had done some thing "unconventional, inopportune and tactless in sending a letter to th Senate. The vote on the Sproul resolution was as follows: 'Ayes Republicans. Baldwin, Bel dleman. Buckman. Catlin. Croft, Crow Daix, Endsley, Eyre. W. P. Graeff! Kline, McConnel.

China, January 5 (Correspondence of the Associated Press) Three hundred persons suffered death by drowning or freezing on the Japanese steamer IlAnkaka. which ran aground during a terrific snow storm near this city. Through the heroic efforts of Cap tain Stampe, a Dutch officer connected with the Netherlands Harbor Im provement Company, 75 of the pass engers and crew, who clung to the storm-swept ship for four days and survived 11.0 low temperature, were finally rescued. Captain Stampe made repeated ef forts to reach tlie grounded ship with a tug, but was unable to get to it for four days. He finally got close enough to see that there were persons still alive on the wreck, and then reached the ship at great danger to himself and his associates. The storm was raging so hard that he was able only to save thirty persons on his first trip, but made a second dash for the dere lict and rescued all the remaining members of the crew and the pass engers who were still alive. The survivors were clinging to the bridge, the only part of the ship which was not submerged when the Dutch otllcer reached it. One Jap anese woman was among the rescued passengers who had lived through four days of exposure in a tempera ture never higher than tlfteen degrees above zero. Practically all the pass engers and crew were Chinese and Japanese. The Japanese captain of the ship succumbed to exposure tl.e second day after the wreck.

MORE DAIRY COW RAISING Enormous Value in Cows of tho State An increase of 4,800 dairy cows in Pennsylvania during the past year is shown by reports of the Bureau of Statistics of the State Department of Agriculture, which places the total on January 1, 1917. at 956,800, as com pared with 952,000 a year ago. The increasing prices that the farmer is receiving for his milk has somewhat overcome the general in clination to withdraw from tho dairy ing business on account of the high cost of feed. In many sections there have been decreases of front 2 to 5 per cent, in the number of dairy cat tle, but 37 counties show increases, some of them only 1 per cent. The average price of dairy cattle in creased during the year from $55.50 a head fo $57.90 nnd the total value of dairy cows in the state is placed at $55,398,700.
