The object of this course, now being tried out In New York City, Is to place domestic service on the same dignified basis as clerical work, trained nursing or other professions open to women. The home assistant will work eight hours a day for a salary of (15 a week. She will not live In the home of her employer or taue ner meals there. Slie will have an hour for luncheon, when > he can go to a restaurant or eat a | lunch which ahe has brought with her Just as she would were she employed la a factory. The employer will not address the home worker by her first , name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs. Brown, as the case may be. Applicants for the course are carefully selected, and registrants are appearing In large numbers. With the same Independence as to recreation hours, places of eating and living as the factory girl, house-work has a greater appeal, as being a less monotonous and more Interesting work* to the average woman. The course Is a thorough one In plain cooking, waiting on table and door, chamber work, plain sewing, care of children, making of menus and the washing and Ironing of light things. Heavy work Is to he done by outside workers. On graduation the student receives a certificate which proves her qualification as a dependable hbme worker capable of attending to all ordinary duties In a home. The Young Women's Christian Association has been Interested In the prob nut u> uvuisiuv oerviee Duiii irom me Standpoint of the employee and from that of tho employer for tome years. The first commission on Household Employment made Its report at the Ofth national convention of the Young Women's Christian Association held In Los Angeles, Cal., In May, 1910. The difficulties of attracting capable women to this field of work were laid to the long hours, lack of Independence In arranging recreation hours, lack of opportunities for growth and progress and lack of social standing. Olrls have acquired a distaste for the conditions which govern household work since the freedom they have experienced In working In munition factories. By standardizing domestic service It Is believed by the Young Women's Christian Association that a higher type of worker may he attracted to the necessary work In homes.

I Box 502, C a bill appropriating a half-million dollars to pay every Confederate vet' ran or veteran's widow eight dollars par month. If this bill passes, au classes in pensions will be abolished. The bill is not to become effective until next year. Senator Laney is the author of a bill that guarantees to every school district that levies a local tax of eight mills or more for school purposes that their school will run for seven months in the year, the State of South Carolina furnishing the money to make good any deficit in running expenses. Already 28 schools in Chesterfield county have a levy of eight mills and, therefore, each of these are now guaranteed a seven-months school. It is to hoped that all the other school districts will raise their levy to eight mills and thereby obtain State aid to run the schools for the full term of seven months. Representative Rivers is the author of a bill to compel the fertilizer manufacturers to tag their goods with correct tags, showing from where the various ingredients in the composition are derived. This bill will also compel the oil mills to tag their meal, showing the exact amount of amonia for fertilizer meal and the amount of protein for feed meal. Meal high in amonia content is not suitable for feed, and menl high in protein is not needed for fer-. tilizer purposes. Governor Cooper appeared before the General Assembly Tuesday night and appealed to them not to adjourn Saturday without passing a good roads law. He suggested that the license tax on automobiles be increased and a property tax and am extra tax on abutting property owners adjacent to the roads to be built be levied. The governor said the people did not mind paying out their money if they got the benefits from it, that the present system was wrong and it was up to the legislature to enact a proper law that would bring good roads to South Carolina. There are hopes that the present high cost of living will soon come down to normal. Already eggs are cheaper; pork in the Chicago market has decreased considerably; dressed hogs can now be bought on the world's greatest meat market for 18 und 19 cents a pound. 'Butter has f illen forty per cent. Dry goods are ofF five to seven cents a yard and worsted goods thirty to sixty cents a yard. Coal is getting cheaper. Prices all along the line are falling. The Federal Reserve Board in their annual report covering last year and in their forecasts for 1919 say that prices will gradually be restored to normal. The war is over and the day of advancing prices is gone. The State Highway Commission announces that it has received $300,000,000 from last year's auto licenses. Four dollars out every five of this was returned to the respeC^ ti/e county treasurers to be spent in those counties for road work under the direction of the countv anncrvia ors. The other dollar was spent by the Highway Commissioner in paying for license tags, engineer's salaries, surveys, etc. To date projects in 21 counties have been surveyed and approved and $800,000 federal government money has been secured for these projects, five of which are alre?Wy under construction. Chester-1 field county's share of the automobile license tax lust year was around four thousand dollars. This money was sent to the county treaurer and disbursed under the orders of the supervisor and * the county commissioners. This year's share of auto taxes has not yet been received. -->ile Merchants r Opportunity I quality line of cars and of the most salable SIXES on high-grade Worm Driven ks proper representation in Jnusual Sale* Plan d presents unequalled opporsration for the sale and disded for and there is no ques Make Big Money for any man who can qualify d a financial standpoint.
