Mrs. Thomas D)eclares That Society
Has Just Begun to Realize
Its Responsibility
JUVENILE COURT FIRST STEP
"Modern society has just begun to
realize its responsibility to the child
and to act in connection with this re-
sponsibility," stated Mrs. W. I. Thomas
in a lecture on "The Child and the
Community," Wednesday afternoon in
the Natural Science building.
"The child labor bill forbids the
labor of children under 14 years of
age in manufacturing and mines,, and
it regulates the number of hours chil-
dren between 14 and 16 can work to
eight, and they cannot work nights,"
said the speaker. "The state is begin-
ning to be recognized as a great, nu-
turing parent. The springs of conduct
really lie in the subconscious region,
and the whole outside world can be
brought to the child through its envir-
onment.
"The only difference between the
jungle child and the child of a cul-
tured environment is the way the out-
side world is made to appear to the
child. The community has a respon-
sibility in furnishing a proper physical
environment, such as good housing,
laws of sanitation, and pure food, milk
and water supply.
"We have in all our public schools
now some kind of medical inspection-
results are shown in the furnishing the
child with eyeglasses. The state now
insists that the health of children be
safeguarded. The earliest symptoms
of disease are detected by the school
nurse or doctor. All this has been

New York, Aug. 12.-Representatives
of both sides in the railroad contro-
versy predicted last night that an order
calling for a nation-wide railroad
strike would be issued within 48 hours.
There was little hope that the medi-
ation conferences would continue much
longer, or that they would produce
any tangible results.
Athens, Aug. 12.-The Greek steamer
Eletheria, bound from Saloniki to
Volos with a cargo-of oil' owned by an
American company, and 1,200 passeng-
ers, principally' disbanded troops,
caught fire yesterday off the island of
Skiatho. Forty persons were killed and
many were injured. The captain of'
the Eletheria succeeded finally in
beaching his vessel.1
London, Aug. 12.-The Antarctic re-t
lief ship Discovery, which has beenI
placed at the disposal of the Britisht
admiralty for use in the effort to
rescue the marooned men of Sir Ernest
Shackleton's expedition on Elephant
Island, sailed from Plymouth Sound
last night for Port Stanley, Falkland}
Islands. Sir Ernest will embark on1
the Discovery at that port in another1
effort to reach Elephant Island. 1
London, Aug. 12.-Stanislau, the
strong Austro-Hungarian base in Gal-
icia, 65 miles south of Lemberg, has
been captured by the Russians. The
main defenses of the city had been
under heavy bombardment by the Rus-
sians and despite stubborn Teutonic
resistance, the army of the czar swept
onward and took the town.
Stanislau is of great strategic value
owing to the fact that it is an import-
ant railway center, five roads radiating
from it.

JOIRD IAIADDTEAM
All-Star Baseball Squad to Play City
Leaguers in Third Game
of Season
CtONTEST STAGED AT WEST PARK
The rejuvenated All-Campus base-
ball team will partake of its third
tussle of the season this afternoon
when it stacks up against the strong
Third ward team of the city league on
the West Park diamond at 2:45 o'clock.
The Third warders are under the man
agement of "Chuck" Webber, former
Varsity catcher, and have gathered
unto themselves an enviable reputation
at the diamond pastime. They have
held the championship of the city for
two consecutive years and have gone
undefeated so far this season.
Manager "Wallie" Niemann, of the
Campus aggregation, has strengthened
his team since the last Ypsi embroglio
by the addition to the roster of "Cec"
Brown and Max Cutting, outfielder and
shortstop respectively. These men will
form valuable additions to the Wol-
verine attack, both coming touted as
fence busters. "Turk" Turner, All-
Fresh star, will assume the. hurling
burden, with "Art" Weadock, the Sag-
inaw High School phenom, behind the
bat. For the city leaguers, "Eddie"
Lau, former Ann Arbor High School
twirler, will pitch, with Webber re-
ceiving.

Mrs. Thomas Speaks on Industrial
Conditions Affecting Women in
Big Cities
"The only work that is forbidden to
women in the United States is tending
bar; all other work that does not re-
quire too much physical strength they
are permitted to enter," said Mrs. W.
I. Thomas, of Chicago, in her lecture
this afternoon at the Natural Science
auditorium, on "Society and Women in
Industry."
One of the greatest industries that
women have shown their unsurpassed
ability, self control, and fitness in, is
telephone work. In the United States
alone there are something like 70,638
telephone girls, and the maximum
number of calls is 225 in seven hours,
but very often they average up to 341.
Some of the more recent trades and,
occupations that women have entered
is railroad transportation, domestic
science, agriculture, professional ser-
vice and mechanical trades. °
Mrs. Thomas further went on to
show how the college and the woman
of social position was helping the
working girl; she then went on to
speak of the Eleanor Clubs in Chicago,
and outlined the many ways in which
they were aiding hundreds of girls who
come to the city in search of work and
without friends or money. The down-
fall of so many girls is due to the fact
that they are not provided with suit-
able parlors in which to entertain their
company and therefore are driven to
the streets.
Another thing that the new woman
should interest herself with is the leg-
islature; she should know about poli-
tics, so that she can vote intelligently
and do her duty in national affairs
