Oon that ground a good case could be made out for inclusion of illness at the birth of children among those covered by the policies. The bills provide medical care for those earning mothers, but not > the benefits paid in other kinds of si ness. This omission has been defend- ed on the ground that to smooth the way too much for the wage-earning mother would put an obstacle in the path of efforts to keep married woni- en out of factories. The inference 1< | that the women are“better off doing the work of the home, and if choice is between heavy mill and moderate h$usework in some surroundings thére can doubt abont it. Usually the choice is not so one sided "as thal.

This study showed that in a carefull chosen field the deaths birth “and in the first week, month and year of life occurred in as la proportions among babies who { mothers worked wages. The interesting part of these fig- ures is not so much the few tables in which the/mill mothers seemed to be slightly better off, as the fact that jnot one showtd any great difference between the two groups either way. A wide study to the same report told the same story; a high rate pf infant mortality always occurred Wherever there was high female illiteracy and a high birth rate, but its comnection with the proportioh of mothers worl- ing for wages™ was variable Labor laws have _shortened the ‘“‘sun. to sun” work day, but they have not | eased the work hat “is never done.” When family incpmes are ingufficient that work becomes very heaty, and the “protection of the home” cannot live up to its’'reputation while there are many homes that cannot protect their members from poverty and ignorance. a 30 wage- cash the worlk whole- be a0 is for The Transient Job. (Manchester Herald.) This is a time when the man will- ing to accept a transient job can get high pay. The demand for supplies for the European war, has caught the United States with a reduced supply of workmen, owing to the falling Bff in immigration and to the return of many of the foreign born men to fight in the war The munition factor- ies and those factories which feed the munition factories are very busy on urgent orders and are wiling to, pay fancy prices for help. This makes the situation very hard for those manufacturers and employ- ers of labor who give steady work vear after yvear. They have no orders paying immense profits and at best cah advance their prices only a little; yet in the employment of Jubor they have to come into competition with the war goods factories with their high wages. * We do not blame wage-earners for wanting to get as high wages as pos- sible; but we cannot avoid the belief that in the run the man who has and holds a steady job at normal wages will be better off than the man who leaves such a job to take the higher The war is going to stop some day be- fore long and then wages will drop with a thud. After the war the man who has steady work in nis home town will be better off than the man who has bad transient employment at high wages in a place where he is not known and where his employer has no interest in his welfare.

The Silent Visitor. (Hartford Courant.) southern giaphic page of his editor recently drew # picture on the. editorlal newspaper of what tha weekly visit of his fathers favoriis newspaper ineant to that home in central Georgia in the old days. Ths father of the mun who wrote the article used the columns of the paper that had _prought iight and comfort “way from the cen ters of population. The lessons draw in this little sermon on the general influence and value ‘of néwspapers in a home are as applicable to a north- ern. audignce as to the one in Georgin The paper arrived on a Satu afternoon and its coming was looked forward to with the keenest pleasure and interest. After the supper wus over, the father took the small weels ly journal and read every word of it to his family, commenting on the dif- ferent articles d digestifig the whole .affair, advertisements and hefore allowed . the members his family to go to their beds mother sat knitting, the writer of the editorial piled wood on the fire, tha cat appeared to enjoyv the spectacle from a distance, and the paper, there- fore, moulded the opinions of the whole family—cat and all. ATl this applies to the daily visit of a newspaper into the homes of Con- necticut today. A newspaper cannot enter a home every day in the year without its impression: influences are started there by that newspaper that are liable to remain through life 1n the minds and in the actions of those who read it. The life current of the people who come under its ministra- tions, whether they be old or young, are always liable to be changed by this silent visitor. No one could make these regular visits, as does a news. paper, without leaving an impression on the persons in the home; and thg newspaper probably moulds publie opinién at the present day it didg, in Georgia back in 1870 then % pen al Tie he more Tt is not surprising, therefore, that a family that has read any one news- paper for many years should feel the greatest affection for it, inhale the spirit of its policies, hold a friendly attitude towards' its utterances, and continually consider it the wost wel visitor that enters the home. This all means ‘that daily or weel- 1y newspaper should be a careful vis- itor. ,and that ' its influence thete should he of a type to create .«‘urh# memory as the southern newspaper did'in the little Wome in Georgia On $3 a Month.

But the ghastly truth is that more of the human race live an, of near, the Chinese scale than live on or near the American scale. The task of civilization for zencrations to come will be to lift i ng standards to higher great battles of the silent struggles be- wrds of living.
