In connection with the movement tJtf lnatd- This itinerary ' has
secura a minimum wage law for the
women of the state, it may bo of in
terest to the public to know some
thing of the work which has been ac
complished along this same line in
other parts of the country. The fol
lowing Information comes from the
National Women's Trade Union loague
with headquarters at Washington, of
which Miss Mary Anderson is chief:
"Mary Anderson, chief of the wo
men's bureau of the United States de
partment of labor, has sent out a call
to state departments of labor asking
them for their aid in making a sur
vey of the number of gainfully em
ployed women In the United States
who are supporting dependents and
the average weekly salary of such
women.
"This material is being gathered for
use at the international congress of
working women, called by the Na
tional Women's Trade Union League
of America for October 23 and at the
international labor conference Octo
ber 29, when the problem of the wo
men wage earners with dependents
will be given special consideration.
Miss Anderson, as secretary of the
committee on international relations
of the Women s Trade Union league,
is secretary of the committee on ar
rangements for the international con
gress of working women.
"Miss Anderson's letter to the state
Industrial commissioners says that
'the war has forced to the attention of
all many important facts relative to
conditions of employment as well as
the status In general of the-12,000,000
or more women employed in gainful
occupations in our country. One of
these facts Is that a large percentage
of the women wago earners have been
paid a wage based upon old traditions
that women have not the same family
responsibility that men have. If the
cost of living is taken into considera
tion it is based upon tho individual
cost rather than based upon tho cost
of a family maintenance. Such statis
tics as we have tell us that a very
great percentage of the wage earning
women are wholly gr in part support
ing families or Have other depend
ents. "'A recent survey in one of our
states Drought out the fatt that 3,779
women were supporting 7,206 children
under the age of 16 years. The re
port has not been completed at this
time so that information as to earn
ings of this particular group can not
be given, but 71.4 per cent, of 61,361
earning women were receiving less
than 14 per week. Tho responsibil
ity to dependents Is not peculiar to
tho wage earning mothers only, for
great numbers of single women in
every state In the union are strug
gling to support mothers or fathers
or both or younger sisters or broth-

spoko here several limes in the In
terest of tho world service program
of the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation, will leave Richmond on Fri
day for Chongtu, China, where she
will establish a family of the Young
Women's Christian association. Al
though she Is acting under the au
spices of the foreign department, of
the National Young Women's Chrls

was given her address by the fact
that she had already served us student

brings to a close a furlough of u
year's duration a part of which time
was spent In touring the states of the
South Atlantic field, brinRlng before
the public the work df the associa

The city of Chengtu, J.f1s Smith's

is the capital city of tho Province of
Szechuen. She explains that a jour
ney of six weeks must follow her ar
rival in China, a part of this Journey
to be made by boat on tho Yugtsze
river and two weeks by chair. All the

Why More Small Cars Come
Equipped With Goodyear Tires
Last year, more, small cars, using 30x3',
30 x 3lz" or 31 x 4-inch tires, were factory
equipped with Goodyear Tires than with
any other kind
This is pjainly a result of the high relative
value produced in these small-car tires by
Goodyear's enormous resources and scrupu
lous care.
They represent the same intense endeavor
to supply utmost satisfaction in tires that
has laid the basis for the marked preference
which exists everywhere for dfoodyear Tires
in the larger sizes. . v
This real Goodyear value in tires is available
for your Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell, or
