- Earning Power
"Earning power depends on the production of a man or a machine. It is not based on what a man dreams of doing or on what an inactive machine is capable of accomplishing," says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. "Earning power is
nothing till it is translated into the accomplished
. net. '
"A man's boast of what he can do is nothing v to capitalize. You do not hear much windy
vaunt of themselves among those who do things
They leave it to others to praise. Few social phenomena are more odious than the sight of persons who seem consciously to invite tribute and testimonial. When one thinks of all the truly 'Jieroic deeds that find no laureate that
are seen by God only and are by God alone re-1 warded the self- advertisement of those who laud and magnify themselves is the more displeasing. "There s. self-respect and there is self-flat
tery. Barrie's great little play, 'The Twelve-
Pound Look,' has for its central character a man who must feed on praise all the time. He makes his wife supply it to him. There are all sorts of things he needs to be told for his own good. But he will not hear them. His popinjay vanity will not let him listen to anything that does not minister to his own conceit. "Such a man, who is as real a figure in the
world we know as Andy Gump, is forever telling himself that he earns more than he gets," but
his rare gifts go unappreciated! It does not gen.
erally occur to him to start something, or to do
more, to demonstrate his value. He wishes to jog along in the same old rut undisturbed, but to be rewarded beyond other men for doing what
every one of them is able to do.
"The world's, premiums are put on those who
earn them, not on those who merely ask for
them. They go to those who carry a responsl
bility, and are not always seeking to unshoulder
a distasteful task to somebody else.
"Emerson declares that a man is entitled to
be judged by what he is at his best. Others must do the judging. It is not true that we are
taken at our valuation. 'By their fruits ye shall
know them'. The fruits of industry and sobri
ety are the things that will always have a value in the market," where they will command at the
same time a fair price and a personal respect for
the producer."
GRINDSTONE TURNERS FOR OTHERS. - By George Matthew Adams
We are all, in a - sense, grindstone turner s for someone. ? We are sharpeners of tools that serve the uses of other people and often these same tools are later used against us who wet our, brows to give them edge. . . - -V ' But never mind. Turn on. And on and on! It is your privilege to lend dignity to service. Then why not render it willingly? . -- . . , Yes, grindstone turners. - Work, work, work day in and day out to keep the wheels of the world going around, to give happiness, to lessen sadness, to build homes and cities and establish commerce, to flower the earth with beauty, to make life more comfortable, to brighten hope to give nourishment to the soul. It is your attitude toward your work that makes all the difference in the world. , " It is the way that you associate with yourself that establishes your average high' or low relationship with others in the world at large. God gave us all different talents, abilities, characteristics, ambitions, and aspirations, so that we might form a better working mass to carry on His wishes and ideals. Our physical work is a temporal affair, but every least bit of our growth in spiritual stature is given permanent record in the annals of eternity. What difference shall it make a million years or so from now whether or not we were grindstone turners or wielders of vast power In some great empire? Your most important task," and my most important task, is to fit in. And the next most important task is not to complain about our lot.

hagen in 1885, and since 1916 he ha3 held the chair in theoretical physics at the University of Copenhagen. For some years he was also attached to an
English university
as instructor. In his findings and
studies he has gone
further than Sir Ernest Rutherford,
a former Nobel prize winner. Bohr,
however, gives full credit to Sir Er
nest as leader and declares that his researches have been built up on what the English scientist already
had revealed.
He likewise says that he owes
much to Prof. Planck'3 theory which
broke definitely with the classical
mechanism, such as Newton's, aa well
as the classical electro - dynamic
theory advanced by Maxwell.
When presented with the award
Prof. Bohr expressed his satisfaction
that the 1921 prize had gone to Prof.
Einstein, whose labors in his individual field the Danish scholar had utilized to the full. He gave it as his opinion that the day of merely theoretical opinion was vanishing quickly to give place to practical application of just such scientific deductions as Einstein's.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIJI WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 27. A ray of light has just been shed on some widely discussed questions about the woman worker. It is often asserted that a large proportion of married women now work in stores and offices and that many of them do so merely in order to buy luxuries. The critic
ism is made that these women whose
husbands could support them are hold
ing positions needed by men and single
girls. ! The person making a statement of this sort always glibly quotes at least one case of a wife who. works so that she can spend her vacation at an expensive resort and who is brought to work by her husband in a palatial motor car. . But these outstanding cases what percentage of married women
do they really represent?

For and Throat Troubles
for the bureau to study with the fundB available. Nearly 10,000 women work for wages in Passaic. This means that nearly half of the women in that city, and probably In many other cities, are wage earners. What is more significantof the trend of the times, fourfifths of the women work outside of the home.
If you think back only a few genera
tions to the time when both father and
mother worker about the home, doing the work of the butcher, baker, tailor, carpenter, farmer, and cook, you can realize that women are only a few decades behind men in leaving the home to make a living. A more complex civilization soon took the men out of the home to run machinery and to sit at office desks. The exact causes that are taking the women away from kitchens and nurseries are less obvious.
That they are being drawn away, how-
thelr money on themselves, or do they
have dependents and responsibilities I as it is assumed that the majority of
men workers have?
The minimum wage is supposed to
give a woman a living wage for herself alone. No thought Is given to the
possibility of the working girl's having
dependents. And yet, is it economically just as matters are today to assume that she has no one but herself
to take care of, and that therefore her thin pay envelope really equals a man's fat one?
These questions are argued back and
forth, but facts have always been hard to locate. There has never been a national table showing the personal and family liabilities and assets of men workers, so that the controversies
agout women workers cannot be finally settle dat present.
But just to show what the tendency
is, the women's bureau of the department of labor has made a-study of the
family status of women breadwinners in one representative city, Passaic, N.
J.
Census Data
Used.
The women's bureau went to the
census bureau and obtained - permis
sion to use the punch cards of Passaic working women feu statistical study. This was a departure. Ordinarily the census records are used only by the censU3 bureau. The bureau collects
an enormous mass of valuable informa
tion, and from all of this information it sifts out certain statistical facts and
makes up tables that will be of most
importance to the .country. Funds are
limited and time is limited. The em
ployes work at high speed to make up
tables of manufactures, population,
crime, occupations, and so on. Then the bulk of the material is left in the
census files.
These files contain data on the eco
nomic status of families that would be
of great value to all sorts of social welfare organizations, to eity boards and
local governments. But the census bu
reau has no funds allotted for publish lng the statistics. The women's bu
reau, however, being a section of the
labor department, male an arrange
ment to nave access to tne records or
one city, with interesting results
Passaic was chosen because it was
large enough for statistics to be illu
minating, and yet it was not too large

indicated by the statistics
ThU3 it is shown that one-half of the
women workers in Passaic are or have
been married. The report further
shows that 90 percent of the 4,013 married women workers have husbands who are employed. What is more,
nearly three-fourths of the women who
are or have been married have chil
dren to care for, and while in most cases the families are small, the children are young. More than half of the
working mothera of Passoic leave chil-i
dren under five years of age at home every day or carry them along to work.
The women s bureau calls attention
to its discovery that "it was not the widowed mothers nor other women with disrupted martial relations who were winning bread apparently at the expense of the care of young children.
but the married women living with breadwinning husbands." The revela
tion, the report says, makes a strong
urge for further information. Question Why
Unanswered.
The bureau report says further: "It
is of manifest importance to know why so large a group of women with home responsibilities should be at work when the usual family providers are in evidence. Rarely are the wages of fathers sufficient to keep grown un
married daughters from going into in
dustry as breadwinners, but that the wife and mother should go out to work
while the husband and father is a breadwinner challenges attention. Is
it because she must, or because she
'wants to'?"
But after raising this interesting
question the bureau report calmly con
cludes that "without information on family Income, which it is not possible
to secure irom census schedules, a
definite answer to this question cannot be given."
The work done by the women would
indicate that necessity rather than a desire for a career guides the woman
