FIELD FOR GIRLS
Interesting Talk to High School
Pupils on Possibilities of Y.
W, C, A. Work.
The girls of Freeport who attend¬ ed the vocational talk given In the Jamaica high school auditorium re¬ cently by Miss Scott, director of asso¬ ciation studies at the New York Training School of Y. W. C. A., gained a clear notion of the opportunities for service and employment that Y. W. C. A. work offers,
A vast field of secretarial work in cities, In colleges, In rural districts, and In foreign lands is open to women with the right kind of training. In many of our large cties there are from thirteen to twenty-flve Y. W. C. A. secretaries working to Improve the tha condition of women In various flelds; one, perhaps, doing immigra¬ tion work; another organizing clubs In the industrial world; a third con¬ ducting religious work; a fourth, an employment bureau, etc. In our col¬ leges Y. W. C. A. secretaries are maintained to organize Bible study and missionary work. Representa¬ tives are found, also. In rural com¬ munities, several small town uniting to support one general secretary. The service of the association is not lim¬ ited to the United States but extends to China, Japan, South America and Turkey.
There Is so great a demand for women fully equipped that the Na¬ tional Training School can't begin *o fill all fhe positions. While 1,700 are already engaged in this work, the call for workers increases faster than the supply. Salaries range from $900 to $1,600, according to the ability of the secretary. In addition to the money compensation the Y. W. C. A. secri- tary has the satisfaction of knowing that she is doing an Important serv.ce to the community.

Special to The Nassau Post.
ALBA.NY, N. Y., April 18.—Elon R. Brown, Republican leader of the Sen¬ ate, has Issued the following state¬ ment showing the necessity of in¬ creasing the revenue of the state by new indirect taxes. He says:
"Evidences of lack of understand¬ ing of state flnances multiply.
"The state policies for the next flscal year will require between $55,- 000,000 and $60,000,000 and a direct state tax of not less than $15,000,000. Worse than that, of the state main¬ tains the different branches of public service to which It is thus committed, the state budget will, under strictly economical administration, reach $70,000,000 and probably $75,000,- 000, within five years.
"The highway system to which the state is now committed contemplates the building of 9,000 miles of high¬ ways, of which 3,000 miles are not yet constructed. They must be kept In repair and this will cost on the average $1,000 per mile annually.
"In spite of all economies, depart¬ ments grow In expen.se. Tlie cost of the administrative, agricultural, penal, curative and charitable de¬ partments Increased In the ten years, from 1905 to 1914, from $10,000,000 to $16,000,000, or 60 per cent.
"From 1905 to 1914 the cost of the legislative, judicial, regulative, edu¬ cational and defensive departmen t.s Increased from $10,000,000 to $18,- 000,000, or 80 per cent.
"By finding the simplest plan of administratian and adhering to it, by putting In men who know about tlie state's affairs in offlcB and keeping them there, by economy, by the re¬ duction of padded payrolls, and by setting a flrm face against new state functions, this Increase may be check¬ ed and the annual appropriations pos slble held to $70,000,000 or $75,000,- 000 for this decade.
"If preparation is not made to foot theae billa by further Indirect reve¬ nue, the state must be prepared for a direct tax levy within five years of from $20,000,000 to ^30,000,000 an¬ nually.
Tlie town of Hemp.stead is the first town in tlie county to place justices of the peace on a salaried basis. Each justice of the peace Is to re¬ ceive $1,500 a year for his services in criminal wo'rk in lieu of fees.
Upon llie recommendation of Super¬ visor Hiram R. Smith each justice has been authorized to employ a stenographer where it was necessary in criminal cases to take testimony.
The salary as fixed applies lo llie justices of the peace only as far as services in criminal cases Is concern¬ ed At (he present time they receive fers for services in civil cases an' this will continue to be the case.

Launching of Battleship Arizona
\Vill be Big Event According
to Present Plans.
Public confidence in the strengtli of the government is a desirable thing at any time, but particularly just now,, and tlie decision of Secretary of the Navy lianieis to make Uio launch¬ ing of tlie battleship .Arizona, at thc Brooklyn navy yard. June 11', the i''ggest tiling of its kind ever con¬ ducted, is a coniincndalile one.
To this end, Secretary Daniels lias decided to liave llie review of the Atlantic fleet in liio Hudson River on a day approximating the day of the launching. This means the proba¬ bility of President Wilson witnessing the laumhing of the Arizona, as it is understnod tliat lie wili go to New York to review tiio Hret, jirevious to its trip tlirouj;li (he i'anama Cana/, u. the Pacific Coast.
We of Long Island may well be proud of llie Arizona, whicli wili i;o forth labeled ".Made in Long Islaiil," and that she and her men will, in case of need, meet the les* of sea h.it- tle, no one wiil doubt.
American ships, are accustomcii lo victory, and those wlio rememiier .low Dewey startled the world by his work at Manila, and what Schley did off Santiago, talk little of tho "u-ipro- paredness" of this country, aMioMi,'li they do well, perhaps, to advocate increased appropriations for our army and navy.
