THE KNEE OF ITALY

Italy, as every school boy knows, is
shaped like an old-fashioned boot, drawn
over a mans knee. The Venetian plain.
toward which the Great Austro-Ger-
man drive is directed. corresponds to the
crok OF the knee.
The Chicago Tribune prints a signifi-
cant cartoon representing the drive as
d, bayonet blade being driven into the
Italian knee with a mailed fist.
II is no mere fancy. The region at
which the powerful blow Is directed is
perhaps the most tender and vital
part OF Italy's geographical antony. IL
Is quite within the range Of possibility.

momentum for few days. that all

WOMEN IN a.r.>., JOBS

The general replacement Of men by

oy the American Public Health Con-
Ycntion held recently in Washington.
The replacement Is necessary and in
cyitable in war time. but it calls for

the past work done in safeguarding the
health of women in industry.
The replacement must be handled wise
~ and with due regard TO the health
and strength of the workers. Women
have been taking jobs as freighthand-
lers, carriers in glassworks as foundry
workers, pushing scrap-iron in wheel.
barrows up an inclining plane. piling
lumber in yards and in other forms Of
heavy muscular work. At the same
time men are still employed in work
requiring little muscular strain, as shoe
statesmen. clerks and floorwalkers.
Organization is needed here. The
first replacement of men by women
should be In less strenuous physical work.
Even in munitions factories women
workers should be given only the tasks
calling Tor deftneSS ana accuracy, not
TOR sheer physical strength.
There have been no standards for
use in determining the weight which
should be allowed to handle. One as
ISOLATION OF foundry owners has adopt
ed an arbitrary limit of % pounds
The department of labor of Pennsyl-
gania decided temporarily on limit of
10 pounds as the maximum weight for
women workers TO handle If the work
Involves continual lifting.
The whole problem of the great In.
flus of women into industrial work
needs thoughtful attention and definite
action. Ii is a matter too important
tor the health of the coming generation,
as well as the present one, TO leave to
haphazard adjustment. Women seek

left short-handed by the war are not
the people to work out the solution
TO this problem. 1t calls for special
Industrial physicians, for definite fact

forethought. The peace time need for
safeguarding health in industry Is In
