Commerce will memorialize CencrreM to
grant the recommendations made' by a
subcommittee today, the substance of
which follows:
Beginning at Gray's Harbor, we think that
from there up to Cape Flattery a proper road
ehould be built so that tho coast may
be accessible for life-saving and salv
age purposes. We also recommend that the
wireless telegraphic service to connect with
vessels at iea be Installed by the Govern
ment, as well as telephone communication
along the shore.
We find there is a distance of more than
00 miles north of Gras-a Harbor with no lhrht
protection every 30 miles. We recoram
mat a proper lighthouse be secured nt Point
Granville.
. In reference to lbe present telegraph line
at iaioosh. we recommend that it be Im
proved and that such force be maintained
that. fh 'Sam mBV b rolled nnon SBM all
times, or that proper connection be msoe with
the Alaska cable to supplement the present
service.
We understand the fog signal station at
Tatoosh 1b out of date and that, on account
of the small appropriation available, the for
horn Is put in operation only when the- fog
nas actually settled close la to tho station,
but the Xog horn should, be ODcrated when
ever there is a possibility or Its being of
service to ships within the zona reached, by
tne horn.
We recommend that the Government build
and equip and constantly maintain at Neah
Bay as a basis, a vessel suitable for life-
saving and salvage purposes with the most
xnooern equipment of all kinds for the pur
pose of cruising tbo coast Xrom Gray's Har
bor to Cape Flattery.

dress was read by Mrs. Shaw, who said:
While it Is true that marriage and the birth
rate have decreased In recent years, before
tho results are charged to the participation
of women In industry one must answer many
questions. As a matter of fact. It Is no new
thing for women to be engaged In Industrial
pursuits. From primitive times women have
been great industrial factors and modern eco
nomic conditions. Instead of Introducing them
to Industries, have introduced to the world's
markets the Industrial In which women from
the earliest times have been engaged with
ever-widening circles of actlvr, as Inventive
genius has do-eloped and civilization pro
gressed.
If conditions surrounding their cnmlovment
are such as to make -It a ''social aunntinn or

President Roosevelt did not see that women.

trust that a resolution will be nasaed bv tM

women on every commission which investi
gates tne conditions which no deeply affect
their lives and the lives of their children.
One can but wish, with the reorganized de

dent that, it 6.000.000 American women are

The result of a failure to reach an
