HOUSEHOLD BOSSES DRIVE
THE GIRLS INTO FACTORIES
That's the Conclusion Of Miss MCCraCken, Who Finds That Domestic
Service Is ~Distasteful Because Of Housewives Interference.

- NE OF the chief reasons why the average working girl prefers a fac

much by unskned interference. AT least that is the conclusion
reached by Miss Elizabeth McCracken, who interviewed a large number of

do the job themselves"

Many OF he girls who had tried domestic service admitted that they had
encountered employers who had IN knowledge OF domestic science and art
"They knew about it in a way" qualified. But you see they all knew
it difrent and I knew it difrent too. In the factory everybody knows the
job the same"
Asked whether she would prefer household service to factory work If she
could do the housework the way she knew it. she said promptly, YES but

One woman to whom this story wa repeated, a woman who had been a
housekeeper for many years and em ployed servants, said shny that that
girl expected too much. Servants are paid % do al they are told in III
houses" she observed.
But are they? Or if they are, should they be? Miss McCracken de-

H. A. B.
1.-THE turquoise consists essentially of
a phosphate of aluminium containing a
little copper and iron. The true or orr
entail turquoise, a favorite ornamental
stone in rings and others articles of
jewelry, is found in a mountain region
in Persia, and was originally brought
into western Europe by way of Turkey.
A variety found in New Mexico, usually
of a greenish-blue color, is also used in
jewelry. The principal locality is in the
Los Cerillos Mountains, where the tur-
quoise was mined by the Indians in
very early times. A greenish turquoise
is also found in Nevada.-Ed.l
