Never before was the scope of
vocational opportunity; lor women
so wide, nor the chances far even
un'rained women to earn money so
m«nT and varied. The advice of
authorities on women in industry,

ficiency today, and the war has
brought into existence many Bources

'raiuinf for industry.
The type of woman, her mental
and physical ability, will determine

the woman of fair education the

Banks are opening their doors to
women clerks, and offices and com

their filing divisions, for statistical
work, the operation of tabulating
macifues, secretarial work, etc. The
railr'at offices throughout the coui*
tr- employ. women as ticket agents,

for telephone operators is larger
than the supply.
In reply to the question: "What
can women do other than knitting,
conserving food and giving volun

There is a large field of useful
ness for the woman who wishes to
serv« her country, in Americanizing
men ,women and children of foreign
birth in this country, and every
large city yields women's relief com
mittee which are in need of work

also be accomplished by arousing in

its Liberty Bonds and its War Sav

Any woman with a gift for public
sueaking may become a "Four Min

Civilian relief for families whose
mei>. have gone to war offers a

THE PLEASANT MAN
He has his troubles like the rest
Aik 1 yet he never seems oppressed.
He starts the morning with a song
While others frown, and pout.
And ere the breakfast hour has
passed
Puis all our blueB to 'rout.
He has a boundless store of cheer
On which he draws throughout the
year, . .' i
He smiles as broadly in. the home
As on the city's streets
And never lacks a friendly word
For every one he meets.
He scatters sunbeams by the way,
Diftiihing lignt where shadows play.
And in their sowing finds a joy
That comes alone to those
Who seek to brighten others' lives
By softening their woes.

Polonius was a courtier and a
master hand at that. Having spenl
all his life in the courts oflDen'
mark, he had become the king's fa
vor'te adviser and dear friend.. H
was harmless, both In might and li
fiuence, and lest he should hurt the
feelings of someone—present or nol
—he would beat about the bush 'til
he would almost lose sight of hit
orgiinal thought.
lie was a kind father; he gave hi
son advice that has since been glv
eu thousands of times to sons ol
just such loving fathers. He would
shield his daughter from what
though it migh give present Joy,
would bring future sorrow.
Ba'. Polonius was human am
terests, the eight-hour basis wou'c
still he adhered to, but believed I ha
the matter should be optional with th<
employe in case lie were needed tc
work overtime, »nd should be paid foi
the extra service if he were willing' t<
work.
It is understood that the Doufla.'
Island Labor Union went on record al
its meeting last night as favoring th<
same kind of amendment or modified'
tion of the law, and at a meeting o'
the City Council a resolution of the
same nature was passed. The Defensi
Council appointed Manager Bradley tc
appear before the governor and pre

[ At the court lie agreed with the

wouli not bo pleased. Hamlet
thought him an old fool, with not
even senae enough to thiak for
himself. While it may have seemed
so 'o Hamlet, it was not altogether 1
the case ,for Polonius did think; but
he was old and his mind not so I
keen as Hamlet's, so he made mis
I fakes. But Hamlet also made mis- i
takes^-he made one when he killed
Polcnlus.
Polonius thought he had the mys

OX WAR STAMPS
J Tuesday afternoon Mr. Conway, |

and "War-Saving Stamps,"1 showing
bow a child could start with only J

be dven a Thrift stamp, and from
time to time acid mpre money 'till
he had enough deposited to en

which in 1923 will be worth 55.00.
(Four dollars is the amount re
j quired .) Four percent, compound
