Ford, of the New Century Guild, Philadelphia; 'Teachers," by Miss Ella Van Dyke, of the Teachers Five O'Clock Tea Club, South Bethlehem, and Miss Jane Campbell, of the Philadelphia New Century Club. i Mrs.

In her address on "Factory Workers" Miss Piatt told of the various types of womanhood she had met among factory operatives, not from the point of view of the factory inspector, nor from the technical side of the question, but her remarks dwelt with the social side of the girl who works in the factory. She described the "tough" factory girl by declaring that she swears, smokes and chews gum, and that her parlor is on the street corner beneath the gas or electric light. Such girls range in age from 14 to 16 years. The greater number of factory girls, she said, are not "tough." Miss Piatt contended that immorality is no greater in the factories than in John Hopper, pink, cup shaped, a profuse bloomer.

Delegates from the eastern district of the State Federation of Women's Clubs assembled yesterday in the headquarters of the New Century Club in Library Hall. the domestic service, and gave statis tics to prove It.

She charged the more Influential women with being respon sible for the unfortunate condition of the factory girl, because the latter Is put in the mill to compete with the demand for cheap wearing apparel which is sought so eagerly by the women of the country who surge about bargain counters. One remedy Miss Piatt suggested is the formation of working girls clubs, of which there is a dearth in Pennsylvania, and she recommended that the women of clubdom reach out a helping hand. Mrs. Frances M. Ford, of the New Century Guild, of Philadelphia, argued that the experts among women clerks are as well paid as men.

Prof. C. B. Cochran, a teacher in the West Chester Normal School, gave resume of the facts that led up to the passage of the pure food laws. TO BEGIN ASSESSMENTS BOARD WILL BEGIN TRIENNIAL VALUATION OF THE PROPERTY ON APRIL 16.

Tbe poor directors have finally agreed to aoiae ny ine decision of County Con roller Livingood to sign only individual warrants for the payment of wages of Almsnou.se employes. The warrants will be presented today by Steward nouenoacn. The employes have nof been paid since January 1.

Warrants for January and February will be drawn. The warrant for January amounts to $971.66 and that for February to 846.56. The former includes the quarterly pay ment of the minister and consulting physician. Controller Livingood refused to sign the warrants In one payroll made out to the order of the steward. This ac tion was taken for several reasons.

First, the directors signed blank bills in advance and the steward was allowed to flu in any amount of payroll he desired. Second, the controller stated that the offices of the solicitor, city clerk to the directors and a non resident physician were without legal warrant and also that the inmates were not entitled to pay for work. The refusal to sign the one warrant led to a suit against the county treas urer instituted by the directors because he would not cash the warrant without the endorsement of the controller. The case was argued before the court last week. The opinion will decide the question of jurisdiction of the controller over the poor directors.

The poor directors met at the almshouse on Saturday and approved bills to the amount of over. $5000. The largest bills paid were those for the support of the insane patients on the almshouse roll at the Harrlsburg Asylum, which amounted to $1,310.75. There are 53 almshouse patients at Harris burg. The bill for theWernersvllle patients on the almshouse roll was also approved.

This amounts to $231.43. Last month the directors purchased a car load of 21 steers for the almshouse. This bill of $1300 was also approved.
