"These women farm workers sent out
in units, so that the question of housing and
feeding may be solved by putting them to-
gether in their own headquarters.
Zone of their number serves as housekeeper
and chaperon, being paid regular salary.
The workers in the unit either fit up vacant
house somewhere in the vicinity of the farm
where they are working or live in tents.
"The women who are sent out to do farm
work are carefully chosen for strength and
the ability TO stick to q job once begun. School
girls or young women who have never had the
responsibility of full days work are mostly
debarred. Candidates are generally teachers
o. women who have worked at the trades
women in short, who in some way have de-
velopcd a sense Of responsibility toward their
employers"
Then Mrs. Strakosch again took up the tale:

emphasized because of war conditions is

Germs and architects Offices are clamoring for
draftswomen to take the place of men who
formerly did that work The Civil Service
Commission at Washington has just thrown

I'VE are quite safe in assuming that the
industries which will require more and more

HOW THE CLEARING HOUSE WORKS
"The Committee on Employment of the
Mayors Committee of Women does not place
applicants. 1t serves as a clearing house for
ffty-one free employment bureaus in greater
New York. At the end of every day each bu-
reau sends to the clearing house a list of calls
from employers which the local bureau had
been unable to fill This list is printed by the
United States government and distributed
among all the agencies the following day. By
having calls for workers cleared in this man.
ner, employers of labor need register their
vacancies through only one agency and can
feel assured that the facilities Of the other
fifty are at their service"
The committee on employers receives the in
formation Of employers as to types and num-
Der Of workers needed; the committee on trade
classes in industries and occupations is 70 work
with tho classes Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, the National City Bank and

to women workers.
The committee on social welfare, cooperating
with womcn's clubs, working girls associations
ard welfare groups, will endeayor to maintain
proper social and physical standards. The
whole energies of the committee will be concsu-
tra.ed upon the social and industrial problems
arising from women's entrance into fields OF
labor hitherto UNEMPLOYED and upon the main
tenance Of standard wages and favorable work.

Of their own particular clearing house will
continue to contribute part of the expense and
all of the experience. The remainder of the
funds necessary will be contributed from an
appropriation for war purposes just obtained
from the State Legislature by the New York
State Council Of Defence.
This clearing house does not deal directly
with the workers, but with the agencies which
are cooperating with it. Each day the clear
ing house receives the untitled calls for work
and workers. The total calls are listed on
printed sheets and redistributed to all the
bureaus.
In this way each bureau commands the facil-
tiles of all the other bureaus, and it is impos
sble for one occupation to be overcrowded
while another is suffering for workers.
REAL EFFICIENCY IN LABOR DISTRI-
BUTTON
Formerly an employer was limited in his
selection to the narrow field Of available labor
over which one agency had command" ex-
planned Mrs. Edgar Strakosch, director of the
new clearing house, but to-day he has the
sweeping organization of all of the combined
agencies from which to fill MS need.
in addition to high degree of efficiency in
labor distribution through Capitalization of reg
istry, the clearing house acts as barometer OF
labor conditions. We know what labor de-
mands are most insStent and can advise girls
TO prepare for positions that Will sooner or
later need to be filled. On the other hand, We
know the registry for all kinds Of special work
and can inform employers at moments no
tice of available sources for stenographers,
nurses aids, teegraphers or what not"

if ever she feels discouraged she can always
buoy up her courage with mental picture Of
herself driving an ambulance filled with
wounded amid the booming of cannon and the
bursting of shells-a glorious future. indeed.
We have all grown quite accustomed 70 the
sight of slim young woman in khaki uniform
carefully guiding through the crowded streets
a big buff motor car, in which sit four or five
army officers, who are being transported from
the railroad station to the ferry, from one
army headquarters to another The traffic po-
licemen salute the young chauffeur as she
passes and civilian chaufeurs make her path
as clear as possible, for they all recognize in
her government servant.
A VARIEGATED JOB
What do they do, these military chauffeurs?
What don't they do?
They are at the beck and call Of the army
and navy and the Red Cross to do errands or
carry passengers.
They have executed all sorts Of secret com.
missions, concerning which their lips are
sealed though one see that they are fairly
bursting to tell you about them.
They are on duty on the piers while the ships
are being loaded with the warm, knitted things
that all our women have been making. They do
all sorts Of errands to facilitate the loading;
they carry nurses and officers to the transports,
and when the Mongolia came back into port the
cars of the Women's Motor Corps were waiting
on the pier to receive the passengers.
There are a certain number Of cars which
are detailed for regular service. These include
the following: One car daily is given over to
. the Mayors Committee of Women, four cars
daily for the Mayors Committee for National
Defence, three cars daily for the military po-
lice one car daily for the Board of Exemptions,
two cars for the War Relief Clearing House,
and a car on demand for the Mayors Commit
tee on Food Conservation and one for recruit
ing purposes
The idea of a motor corps composed OF
women originated in England, where the
Women's Legion Of England is part Of the
regular army.
Our Womens Motor Corps has not yet been
officially accepted by the War Department as
a part of our fighting force, but let US hope
that in time the powers that be will realize
the earnestness and patriotism of these women,
their strict obedience to military discipline and
the Importance of the work which they are
doing, and grant them this consideration
Until that time comes, however, they remain
one Of the most efficient, as well as one of the
most interesting and spectacular, of all the
womens organizations for war relief.

that the sight of death will not unnerve her

She also becomes proficient in signalling. No
doubt YOU have seen her khaki-clad figure

twin sister on a neghboring hilltop.

THEIR HIGHEST AMBITION REALIZED
It appears it was a red letter day for the
Women's Motor Corps. The excitement Of the
public drill was as nothing compared with the
thrilling bit of news which the corps had just
received.
Fifteen of their number had received orders
to report for foreign service
They were the first members of the corps to
be sent overseas, and you can imagine the envy
with which they were regarded by their COM
rades. They are to drive the ambulances con-
nected with Mrs. C. Noe Days hospital at
Compiegne, thus releasing fifteen men for
other service.
This is the ambition of every one Of those
khaki-clad young women-to drive an ambu-
lance somewhere in France" To that end
they are working tirelessly to learn the hun

an ambulance driver to know.
think am safe in saying that there is no
branch of women's war relief work which de-
mands efficiency in so many lines. Driving
motor car and being able to make ones own
repairs on the road is only a small portion Of
the requirements.
There are al. present four hundred women
enrolled in the Women's Motor Corps, one hun
dred and fifty Of whom are in active service,
which means within calling distance and ready
to take their places behind the steering wheel
at a moments notice They are all women Of
means who own their cars, and their ages
range from twenty-five to forty-fve.
Their commanding officer is Captain Helen
Bastedo, the wife of DR.. Bastedo, Of st. Lukes

under her, who are duty from $3.50 q. m.
