Protection Workers of Women Urged by Government Officials. The "thousands of families in the United States are below the poverty line because its breadwinners hap pen to be women" is an interesting statement made by Mrs. Mary Van Kleeck, director of the Women in Industry, United States Department of Labor, at a conference on reconJ construction recently held in Wash ington. , Emphasizing the need for a per manent women's bureau in the department, to be charged with the duty of making continuous and careful investigation' of women's industrial problems, the speaker pointed out that the millons of women in this country now "receive less than a living wage, millons are working to long hours for health and efficiency and many are work ing under conditioins which are A Knitting Yarn For Infants & Invalids No Cooldng A Nutritious Diet for All Ages Quick Lunch at Home or Office OTHERS are IMITATIONS - SKIHNER'S (f&e-j THE BEST TRAOC MA UK BREAD SKINNER . BAKING COMPANY - DOUGLAS -l2 The hunting season has opened. Hunting? ' Certainly for those recalcitrant balls of yarn which roll from the knitter's lap under the darkest sofa, just when things are going smoothest.- But Marguerite Clark of film fame has solved the problem with her hunting dog "Thim ble," shown in the above picture. He is trained to retrieve those self starting balls at top, speed. "Thimble" has proved a wonderful aid to the motion picture star's knitting for American armies of occupation, which she has undertaken in spare moments at the studio. Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Good Idea. Dear Mlaa Fairfax: I am 11 years old. I think girls up to the are of 1& should be thmklnr of their stud ies Instead of boys. Don't you? I read the lovelorn once In a while and think some letters are very ullly. Do you think I am too little to read the lovelorn? BEATRICE. Were I to Judge from some of my letters from high school glrla, I should Indeed say that girls to the age of 18 years could well give more of their time to studies epecially spelling. "Boys" la a study open for students all through life. You real ly can well begin after 18 and doubt less will never complete the entire course. I'm glad you like this col umn, and I agree some of the let ters seem rather nlllv Rnf it tuV.i many kinds of people to make on kind of a World. unwholsome and unsafe." She urged that the improvemets in working standards which are now to be found in many of the well managed plants be extended throughout industry by means of govermental policy 'formulated by women. Legislature measures for the pro tection of women in industry sched uled for introduction during the the present session of congress include; Abolition of child labo and a compulsory education of all children from 6 to 16,ycars of age; an eight-hour day and 44-hour week,, with a weekly day of rest; abolition of night work for women and minors; the establish ment of minimum wage commis sions in every state with represen tation of employers and employes and both men and women commis sioners! oqual pay for equal work arid wages based on occupation and sex; right of workers to oorganize and to bargain collectively through their chosen representation, and other measures tending to alleviate conditipns among working women and children. A postal savings system has been established throughout Spain and at its opening bank books were distrib uted to the school children of Mad rid by the king and queen. A boys' and girls' club in Washoe county, Nevada, is supporting an Armenian orphan by selling fruit and vegetables raised and canned by club members last year. The Parliament of South Africa has passed, by a majority of two voles, a motion in favor of woman suffrage.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are two cousins, 15 and" 17, and we chum together very much, and we are writing to you for some ad vice, and we would like to see it In the "Advice to the Lovelorn" col umn. 1. Do you think it is proper for a boy when he brings you home to kiss the girl before leaving her? -2. When a girl is trying to keen steady company with a young man. and then if you go some place and tne young man you re keeping com pany with isn't there that night, do Vrtll ,Vlinl 4, 1a .io, 1 l.i. another boy? 3. If you go to a program or a show, or some entertainment at . night, do ydu think it is proper to go out walking after that? 4. How long should a girl wear her dresses at the "age of 15 or 17? Hoping to see this in print and In the future, we thank you very much. -AIICKY AND BILLIE. 1. Good standards are essential, if one expects to amount to anything, and good standards lived up. to will exclude promiscuous kissing from a young girl's life. A kiss is valued only for what It signifies and how can it signify anything more than a cheap hand-out when given to every one? The rose loses Its freshness, Its f color and its fragrance when handled by all the passing crowd; a girl's modesty suffers even more se verely when she defiles that delicate her person to ll who call. If you expect other people to respect you, you must first respect yourself. It may be added that granting a young man a kiss in a careless way Invites further liberties more difficult to check because of a gathering bold ness and confidence. 2. If you are going with a boy who cares for you he will ask for a "rund-trlp" and not merely t'. 3 "p:;j;ure of taking you " home." This would save you from chagrin and disappointment of not finding him when you expect to. 3. Ys, if you walk home. 4. Long enough to cover any em barrassment. ' Unhappy High School Girl An uncongenial family, self-conscious, ness and lack of companionship! Quite a heavy burden to bear, but not too heavy for a g rl of couraee . and optimism; much too heavy for a girl who broods over it. The fu ture holds every promise for you v not one of your ills but can be over come. Sweep the cob-webs of me' ancholy out of your brain and then do what you can to remedy the .con ditions which distress you. ' We needn't worry about self-con-' sciousness. That will disappear when you are older and have more experience. The uncongenial fam ily is a far more serious matter. All sentimental tradition teaches us to revere the members of our family. That is as it should be, and I am sure you will not be wanting In this respect. But you and I know a girl can find herself in a family where there is no real joy or association. Fiplsh your high school course and tli en na position, or take steps to fit yy-.self for some work which seems more attractive to yon. Tour mind will then be occupied, yen will make friends at your business, sad will eventually become financially 1 dependent of your family. This vlll give you sufficient independence other ways to relieve much yes present anxiety. Do not be discouraged beoanse you have riot yet gone with boy& Tour desire for -their companionship is perfectly natural, but you' are still very young, and there la much time ahead for their society. I fear you are too serious-minded about them. Be pleasant, make yourself attractive, and fill your mind with good reading and good thinking, so that you can carry on an entertain ing conversation. Don't put your Bible aside; continue to read it. Keep up your church association and your , acquaintance - with young people there. Remember that there are many others as lonesome as yourself. See what you can do for them. Try to make life happy for others, and in doing so happiness will, come to you. . Blue Eyes and Brown Eyes When In doubt, marry neither. As beautiful and wealthy as you admit yourselves to be, why stop short of anything but a prince, or at least a ' duke, or an earl for a husband? In the opinion of the competent judges the failure of women as Dubli' speakers is most otten , due to their restlessness of manner and thei- total lack of effective ges tures. , lOosgia J V. Trrzr
