Chicago Herald & Examiner) Put one hundred men on an island where fish is a staple article of sustenance. Twenty-five of the men catch fish. Twenty-five others clean the fish. Twenty-five cook the fish. Twenty-five hunt fruit and vegetables. So long as everybody works there is plenty. All hands are happy. Ten of the alloted fish catchers stop. Ten more dry and hide part of the fish they catch. Five continue to catch fish, but work only part of the day at it. Fewer fish go into the kitchen. But the same number of men insist upon having the same amount of fish.

The fifty men who formerly cleaned and cooked the fish have less to do owing to the undersupply of fish. But they continue to demand food. Gradually greater burdens are laid upon the truit and vegetable hunters. These insist upon a larger share of fish in return for their larger efforts in gathering fruit and vegetables. It is denied them and soon twenty of the twenty-five quit. But the entire one hundred men continue to insist upon their right to eat. The daily food supply gradually shrinks. The man with two fish demands three bananas in exchange for one of them. The man with two bananas refuses to part with one for fewer than

dustrial pursuits in Indiana," said Miss Margaret Gehrlich, in charge of the woman's section of the Indiana free employment commission. The percentage of decrease in the number of women employed in industry ranges from 4.65 per cent in Ft. Wayne to 46.15 per cent in LaFayette. "The question is what has become of these women ?" said Miss Gehrlich. "We have continuing calls for women workers in many lines of industrial work, wherein women may make wages that compare favorably with what men receive for the same work. However, it appears that either they no longer care to work, or else were so well paid for what they did during the war that they have a surplus to tide them over, indefinitely for they are not registering for 'jobs. We have some attractive opportunities, where the work is not too hard for the average woman, that pay better than some places, where, in addition to receiving less pay, the worker is required to have better clothes, thus reducing her net return. With the continuing shortage of unskilled workers, the wages being offered to women must inevitably increase. "Various reasons have contributed to the discharge of many women since last November, but the chief of which was the readjustment of manufacturing and other industrial activity. However, employers are now perfecting their organizations for peace-time work, and they are asking for women workers. Those who had war time factory or shop experience will find this work more profitable now, by reason of their emergency training." '

youth In Randolph, the place of her birth, (Jan. 7. 1862) and Brattleboro. Vt. So she knows her New England characters through intimate contact during many years. Wide reading and keen observations were most important factors In Mary Wllklns' early education, although she took a course at Mt. IIolyoke Seminary. Nevertheless her tirst manuscript was so ungrammatlcal and Involved that it was rejected. The girl-writer, however, knew in her heart that she waa destined to tell the stories that rilled her imagination. Quite undaunted by rejections, she toiled at writing until "The Humble Romance" and "The Revolt of Mother" established her fame. "But," says the first publisher who read her work, "the hard work, the reading- and the study that the little sensitive-faced woman put In must have been stupendous." These stories with "A New England Nun and Other Stories" and "Silence and Other Stories" won her distinction as a skilful writer of short stories, rich in sugestiveness and charm. She excels in sympathetic interpretation and analysis of the wonderful patient life about her. This is true In her

novels as well as in her short stories. Jerome, a Poor Man." "The Jamesons" and "The Portion of Labor" are among those which have been widely read. Miss Wilkins married when she was 40, and moved to Metuchen, N. J.

For a poor New England boy, Jerome Edwards, the tragedy of life began at the age of ten. His father, Abel Edwards, has gone, that morning, with his wagon and old nodding white horse, to his woodlot to cut wood for Doctor Prescott. Dr. Prescott had an obsession for owning land. When there was a lack of ready money to pay his exorbitant bills, he seized with avidity upon a mortgage, and he foreclosed without grace or mercy. Dr. Prescott had held a thousand dollar mortgage upon the Edwards bouse for years. Jerome had always a fancy of it as a huge black bird with hissing beak perched upon the ridge pole. The o!d white horse coming home turning out at the beck of a phantom driver for the bad places in the country road, was met upon his arrival at the Edwards cottage with wild shrieks in a woman's voice, a child's frighten

In those days he worked like a tiger, for he was In love. That meant he had become a conqueror of all foes In his path, and achiever of the impossible. Lucinda Merrltt had come home from school, and he had seen her in church. Lucinda Merrltt was a very great beauty, and her father contrived to deck her out like one. He bought a little white horse for her. Then Lawrence Prescott came home, and was often seen cantering about with Lucinda, on a blooded horse his father owned. Jerome worked harder. Occasions multiplied during which he and Lucinda met. At first she wondered at him obviously with dilating blue eyes, then she began to blush softly. Jerome's looks at her could have but one meaning. In the meantime, Elmira Edwards had her own little romance, with

The war risk insurance act provides that "No compensation shall be payable for death or disability which does not occur prior to or within one year after discharge or resignation from the service, except that where, after a medical examination made pursuant to regulations, at the time of discharge or resignation from the service, or within such reasonable time thereafter, not exceeding one year, as may be allowed by regulations, a certificate has been obtained from the director to the effect that the injured person at the time of his discharge or resignation was suffering from injury likely to result in death or disability."

From the lnd:anapolis News. THE ambition of American workingmen is to win higher wages, better working conditions, and a larger share of the good things of life. The ambition is laudable, and also it is being increasingly realized. But there is another ambition that is even more worthy, but that seems to have much less influence than it had a generation ago. The effort of many now is to get all Uiat they think they ought to have while continuing at ihe old job, which whatever may be true of the man may not be worth more than the Vages it already yields. In the old days, men seemed to understand this. When they got all the wages they thought they were likely to get in a certain job, they sought a better one. and worked fur promotion. And promotion was never denied to fitness. It was this moement of men up from the ranks that 1 ept our society in that fluid state, which is so greatly to be desired. In his testimony before the senate committee Judge Gary raid that all the executives of the United Steel Corporation came up from the ranks, and from long experience and hard work. Concerning this statement, Holland, writing in the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: Merit and zeal inevitably cause promotion, and, in Judge Gary's opinion,. always will establish normal and healthful relations between employers nd employes if the closed shop is not adopted. The tendency at the present time, and It does not come from the employers or the public, is toward the creation and the perpetuation of a class. It is an evil tendency, In palpable conflict with the old American

spirit, which was one of courage and aspiration. It is as possible now as it ever was for men to rise. The old scriptural principle still holds: "Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things." The door to promotion has not been cjoscd on the contrary it is more widely open than ever. Men ought not to think of themselves as members of a class, and as forever fixed in that class, but as American citizens to whom advancement, even to the highest positions, is always possible. Nothing could be more helpful than a study of certain American biographies, as they show what can be done by a man determined to succeed, and willing to work and sacrifice for success. Andrew Carnegie, for instance, began as a weaver's assistant in a Pennsylvania cotton factory. He was then a telegraph messenger boy, and later telegraph operator of the Pennsylvania railroad. Charles H. Schwab was a stage driver when a boy, and then a stake driver in the engineering corps of the great steel corporation of which he later became assistant manager, after which his rise was rapid. The point is, not that these men, and others like them, made money, and a great deal of It, but they could not be kept down. As a matter of fact, no one wants to keep down a man who shows the ability and determination to rite. It is this constant coming up of men from the ranks that prevents our society from stratifying. There ought to be more of them, for our industrial staffs ought to be recruited, not solely from the technical and trade schools, but from the ranks of labor. The effect would be good on the industry, on the men promoted and on society as a whole. ;

would have an especially beautiful turn of his kaleidoscope of life. Until he was much older, Jerome did not fully comprehend in what way Eben Merritt had solved his financial difficulties. Then he discovered that the Squire had made great sacrifices of his none too large competency to buy from Doctor Prescott, and take the Edwards' mortgage into his own hands. Now life began to look brighter for Jerome. He could not go to school in the ordinary sense, so he went direct to Nature. He, in his scanty free time, roamed fields and woods. Jake Noyes. a queer character who ostensibly was Doctor Prescott's coachman, but who had been permitted to assimilate, and some said had even been taught much of the doctor's medical lore, taught Jerome much about simples. Jerome attained a local under-cele-brity, since lie gave aid for nothing and without success. Gradually Jerome's business ideas developed and strengthened. There was an exceptional chance for a saw mill in the village. He went one evening to Lawyer Means with a request that he should sell two hundred and sixty-five dollars' worth of his land

flood, and the next morning the mill

was carried away. Jerome for the first, time gave up home, w hen Colonel Lamson suddenly died, and left twenty-five thousand dollars to him, twenty thousand to Lucina. five thousand to Eben Merritt. ten thousand to John Jennings, five thousand to Lawyer Means.

People at once remembered the old
