When the question, "are the oppor

"There are always positions open for the girl of thirty, the experienced stenographer, but Hammond cannot supply the demand. Many of the best stenographers in our oTIce came from Chicago nd South Chicago because Hammond hat not enough girls of the middle class who depend upon a salary for their living or a part of It.

An Unusual Instance.
When this instance was cited to business men of Hammond they agreed that it was most unusual. That they were not so much concerned in the age as In the years of experience the applicant for the position had had, was evident. The business men in Hammond were all more conservative in their remarks than the down state stenographer, stating that irrespective of age they will, when In need of a ttepographer, employ the one who shows herself the most capable. There were a few of those interviewed who stated that they preferred to take a young girl and train her into the business according to

the result is better work. We can afford to pay her substantial salary." The above will give an idea of how another Hammond man in charge of one of the large offices views the situation. All Out of The Cradle. "The majority of girls employed In the office are under thirty are they not?" was asked still another representative of one of our large industries. "Well, yes, but all of them have been out of the cradle for years. I should say the opportunities for the business woman are Just getting good when she reaches the age of thirty. There are always positions open for the
experienced stenographer. We prefer
them in our office when we can get them." "Is there any doubt as to the popularity of the girl of thirty as a stenographer? Some of the best stenographers that have come under my observation have been women of thirty
or more years. Years of experience
has given them a clearer insight Into business methods and requirements and
naturally makes them more expert."
said one Hammond man What One Man Says.
A man who has been instrumental in
securing positions for several Hammond young women had this to say
when approached on the subject "A
woman of thirty does not give her sole
thought to the prevailing style of
coiffure or cut of dress. Neither does
she think that her employer views her
in any other light than as a part of
his office force, and she is content, that
it should be so."
"Continuing he said in substance: "It
Is very frequently the case that a young woman entering the business
world is under the impression that
every man is Influenced by her beauty
Her work in consequence is not of the
best, as she feels that her stay in an
office is at the longest short. A woman
of thirty or thereabouts Is more set
tied, gives better thought and more
time to her work. There are excep
tions of course but the above is most
generally true
that: " When the four blast furnaces now under consideration have been added to the Gary mills, the Indiana Steel company, will rank ahead of Carnegie Steel, etc. etc., etc."
