And why will they continue to be inferior in accom- plishment to men? That's easy. They don’t know how and they won't learn how to really work. It's Just as I said. They aren’t big mind- ed. The women who are in business today aré there because they have to, because -in a lot of cases somebody is dependent upon them. And just as the man who was daring and had initiative before he was married loses those qualities because he must take care of the wife and his children, she is afraid to do anything at all. She shows thosé symptoms of fear all the time., And more than that. ~ She just drifts along.’” She is content to be a stenographer all her life. She does just so much and no more.

In the same way, I don't think that any woman who has made | a name for herself should change it because she is fond of a man. Why should she give up, the advertising advantage that lies In the name she has made for herself? “Buyt as 1 was saying, when all women work their fondness for it will not’ be increased. You see, in | The economics of the situation will merely be readjusted to include the women."” Miss Martin, as she was talking, rocked back and forth in her big desk chair, signed numerous letters, an- swered one telephone call after an- other and talked constantly to the iline of people that surrounded- her desk, some asking for advice and i others merely fooling with her, talk- | ing agreeable nonsense. And never { for a moment did her voice lose its ‘Wednesday and Saturday Evenings, Fishing, Bathing, Bowling, | Billiards, etc, ners A. La, Carte, yi”n.

That's as old as the hills. So as soon as I } have something to do 1 remember that old truism and set right out to i like it and to do. it for the best that is.in me. 1 suppose I'm more like a man, because I never stop working | because I'm tired. How many times do you hear women say, ‘I just can’t i the manner in i tin is responsible for about 1 000 advertising a year; goes to par- | time during the day, ! accomplish. do that, I'm too tired.” When I was brought up I was taught that it was shameful to be tired, and now 1 have ! got so that I would never acknowledge ! that I was tired.” And yet Miss Mar- $1,000,- if she has had no other reads from 12 at night until 2 o'clock in the morn- | ing. ties at night, Trained Fatherhood. She has space too, for many out- side activities. She is secretary and treasurer of the League of Advertis- | ing. Women; and thinks that women ! are better fitted for such work™ than ! men becafise they understand the field and because 78 per cent of the pur- chasing power of the world is held by women, She feels strongly the value of the present movement for birth control and is deeply interested in the subject of trained fatherhocd. “What do you do in hebalf of the latter?” she asked. *“I advertisé it,” she smiled. *“I talk about it,”” * and thereupon she explained that everey | activity, that the fundamental func- tions of the world, are made pos- sible through advertising. “You have always been greatly in- terested in the equal pay for equal work movement of _women,” I said, “and perhaps you can’ explain why there should he a necessity for such a movement and why it has not suc- ceeded more markedly.” ““Of course I have been interested, and I do '‘wish that there would be equal pay for equal work. But,” and she paused in exaggerated emphasis, “there must be equal work. The fault lies most with the women. They apply for a position and take what is of- | fered to them, and do so much work for their mioney. If they demand a | &ood, high wage, they will get it Their employers will respect them for asking it. And if they ask for a lot | of money and get it they will take the trouble to be worth it. That is| {1y worthy of notice. all there is to the question. Why do stenographers receive such low wages? Why do men offer’them about one- half, more or less, than do men stenographers? Because they know and the women they employ kno that women are inefficient, that there is a tremendous surplus of poor work- ers in the stenographic field. How many men are satisfied with their stenographers? Not many. They ac- | cept what they get, and seem pleased | if theéy escape the negative qualities. But thy don’t look for initiative or even common sense. That is the real reason for low wages for women. The Marriage Factor. “Of course, there is the factor of | marriage, too. A man traing in a worker; she marries and leaves, and that is added expense to him. But women shouldn’t stop working: be- cause of marriage. I wouldn’t give ‘up my job for the best man on earth. But the little picayune stenographer, who will never get more than $10 a week, might just as well give it up. She will be just as efficient—or in- efficient—as a mere housekeeper. ‘‘And the girl who works for frills and fancies is a very bad factor in the situation, for she is working for something she doesn’t nheed, and deing work that she doesn’t want, doing it poorly, and by cutting down the wage | keeps out a worker who really needs the position. She is the biggest para- site of all.” But Miss Martin is not at all clear in her mind as to the future women, She believes that they should work and stop feeling their pulse for emo- tional symptoms. But they don’t like | to work for a member of their own sex, because they won't stop thinking about themselves and putting a per- sona] construction upon imper:oxml. events. They think less about the | task than about themselves. But in the mean time she will go on doing that which is the basis of all achi vement, absorbing herself completely ' in her departing from the practices of the tired business man. she will continue to help at any outside job that comes to her hand; showing what the exceptional woman, at least, can Drying dishes with towels isxot the best or most cleanly method.

FROM MARIE CORELLI'S “WORMWOOD,” FOX'S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. “WORMWOOD” HIGH IN FILM DRAMAS, “Wormwood;” picturized by tihe William Fox forces, from the famous | novel of the same name by Marie Co- relli ¥ coming to the local Fox thea- ter tomorrow and Saturday. wood” is a photo-drama which sets a high standard. The story, hased on Marie Corelli's famous novel and play is strikingly dramatic and powerful and holds with a real grip from start to finish. The acting and the mounting of Worm- wood is above praise. Seldom in fact has a photo-play fared better at the hands of its producers in this respect The Pont Neuf bridge at night, and a portion of the Notre Dame Cathedral, both marvels of realism are especial- Its producers hearld the cast of/'‘Wormw: ood” with that much-abused express(on “All star cast” but in this case the praise is not extravagant. The principal parts of “Wormwood” are so capably han- dled that a splendidly adjusted dra- Ethel Kaufman, a sixteen year old leading as Pauline is wonderfully appeal- ing and charming in the character of the unhappy little heroine, John Sainpolis, as Gaston Beauvais the absinthe fiend, gives a rendition of the character which can only be called startling in its realism. His make-up is wonderful and as he sinks lower and lower in the abyss the ab- sintheur digs for himsell the succes- sive changes are carried out till the great climax where he meets the fear- ful punishment meted out to him for his self-indulgence. If you are in search for a thrill, a magnificent pho- to-play and an unforgettable lesson all roled up in one, do not miss “Wormwood” at Fox's tomerrw and Saturday. | EXCITING SCENES IN HOWE'’S TRAVEL FILMS Lyman H. Howe’s Travel Festival which comes to the Lyceum on Sun- day night next is enjoyved as much by men and women who have been on ‘the long trails leading to the great scenes in the wide. wide world, as it is by stay-at-homes. Those who have traveled much enjoy Mr. Howe's reproductions because of their ab- solute fidelity and the reminiscences they awaken. Indeed the extraordin- ary merits of this exhibition are now firmly established that it seem need- less to urge anyone to attend. By the the sheer force of its excellence has advertised itself so well that a | crowded house is a foregone conclu- sion. The new moments such as are imparted by ride on a runaway train, which in it- self is exciting enough, . program has its intense a ing by means of those realistic “ef- fects” which always distinguish Howe’'s from all others.

He.is a fac simile of the original Chaplin. It is said that he met Chaplin on, the street one day and ' the immortal Charles stopped and scratcihed his head. “What's the matter, hrother?’” Ingalls asked “I'm just trying to figure out whether I am coming up the street or zoing down,” replied Chaplin,” and I'll be hanged if T know whether I am you or vou are me.’ Tngalls shines in his “street act.” He said to be the funniest street com- edian in the land. His ecentric stunts have tied up trolley lines galore, halt- ed jitneys, made traffic policemen wish they were in Honolulu and driven teamsters to swearing off. He will : appear on the street during the dinner and supper hours Friday, Ingalls is being booked by Richard T.

Handicaps from Within How very differently we all feel about the handicaps which are m»u' on us by eircumstances and the handicaps we impose on ourseives. Almost anyone who has the handicap of a deformity, of a dishon name, of great poverty, of accident; erippled fdculties, or or any other fortune which comes from without instead of from within, resents it terly, He usually ascribes far more of handicap than are actually due to it He thinks that if it were only possible to remove it by he would surely do so. How kiappy He Wouid Be If Only— He i8 sure he could e entirely huppy and content if it were not that handicap. And yet all the time he is probaliy tolerating other handicaps thi bas imposed upon himgelf without complaint and without thinking much he could accomprisi if they aldn’t hold him back.
