SOLVE SERVANT PROBLEM.

II have heard many women who have
been disturbed by the inadequacy Of the
help supply declare that our servant
problem can be solved by the women OF
Belgium" declared Mrs. Ellis Logan,
who is one of the most solicitous cf the
many women who are providing relief
for the war victims. Il have no doubt
that they would very readily become
amalgamated into our industrial life. II
they found some other fields Of industry
more congenial than domestic labor. II
would be an easy matter for them to
enter those other fields.
Judging from my experience at my
home In Boston, when We took In
Swedes and Germans, fresh from the old
country. and soon taught them our
language, and trained them for reliabIe
help, feel sure that the Belgian women
and girls would be dealt with as sue

Mrs. Mary lockwood. one Of the pio-

any project for making out Of Belgium
refugees efficient American servants
must be thought out carefully.
There are just Al many ladies afnong
the homeless Belgians as there are peac-
ants" she said. while I am sure that
the girls would be well cared for when
they arrived, am not sure that the
arrival Of any numbers of Belgian
women would mean the dissipation of

"As for myself" Mrs. Lockwood con-
tinued. II have had one servant for
fifteen years. and would not feel like
