Girls Interested in Future

| But what Of the girls and their views
Of the futurs2 / found one standing
beside an immense pneumatic hammer,
waiting for a giant projectile 20 come
| out of the furnace. The heat brought
out great beads Of perspiration on her
forehead. Her forearm was as large
and muscular as that OF a prizefghter;
her neck and chest were plump and
strong. A typical modern Amazon!
/ But she was every inch a woman. |
asked her whether she intended 70 con-
tinue at the same work after the war,
but found her much more anxious TO
| hear what America would do now that
/ she was in the war. Like most Scotch
men and women, she was extremely well
/ informed about the general situation,
| able 20 talk intelligently about the
/ news OF the moment and moderate IN
I her views. Her two brothers, both
mechanics in this shop, had gone into
/ the army in September, 1914. one mad
/ been wounded and the other killed.
The work is all right" she said,
"but don't think | shall keep at II
| after the war. There will be lots OF
| things for US 70 do, and hope to find
/ something easier. You can rest as
/ sured that none Of Us will crowd ont
any of the boys when they return and
none OF US will permit our employers 70
/ pay US less than the men would get tor
/ the same work. We are working Tor
/ other things besides money, and one OF
I them is called patriotism. You know
/ Glasgow has sent more men into the
army in proportion 20 It's size than any
part Of the United Kingdom. Those
/ soldiers are our brothers, fathers and
| fellows, and we are working for them
more than we are for money. That IS
what call patriotism. Most Of as are
! hoping the war will end soon, and we
ARE not worrying about what is coming
| later"
All the time she kept her eye on
! dial. IL reached q certain point, she
pressed a lever, white hot cylinder
/ emerged from the furnace, swung over
I and rested under a hammer. She
pressed another lever, the hammer
came down gently, rested a moment
/ and lifted. The cylinder now had a
I sharp nose which some day may bore
/ its way through the armor plate OF a
| German dreadnought.
They are setting a furious pace on
I the Clyde, and the munItionettes are
we'll in the van.

records in the building Of merchant
ships.
One Of the most modern Of these
yards has doubled the number Of its
employees and is taking on more as fast
as they can be obtaped Three thou
sand girls are employed in this plant
alone. When I was there 5000 men
and girls were working on enc ship.
and the manager said he hoped to have
another thousand engaged on the Job
in day or two. Girls were painting.
running lathes, working pneumatic
riveters and even grinding tools, ad-
mittedly one Of the highest forms Of
skilled labor. The shop foreman said
they were doing their work "sll right
which is fulsome praise from a Scot.
In this shipysrd they were making
not only ships, but cannon, seaplanes,
tanks and aeroplsnes They turned out
the weapon ready for service, even to
the painting of the distinguishing red,
white and blue circles on the wings of
the planes and the camouAage on the
guns and carriages TO hide them from
the eyes Of the Boche sviators.
Labor Conditions Changed
Later l talked with the managing
director of the plant about pre-war
problems, and found him convinced
that the relations between capital and
labor had changed so materially he
considered the only solution was to
take labor into the business on a
proit-sharing basis. Coming from a
Scotch noblenan with strong Tory
views, this statement was something of
q surprise, but I found 10 typical. Brit
ish industrial life Is in 4 state of revo-
luton. This nobleman said il would
be impossible ever TO return TO pre-war r
conditions, that the women OF Britain
had entered industry TO stay. that cap
itsl must be satisfied with a dividend
of not more than 10 per cent on its
investment, that labor must be taken
into partnership with capital, that the
government must find a solution Of the
labor problem at once, or there would
be situation akin TO revolution ss
soon as hostilities ceased.
In another plant, supported by Ameri-
can capital, found the only man who
deprecated the work being done by
women. He was a shop foreman, who
had spent his life working with men,
and it was new and trying Job to boss
women. He said no woman could do as
much work and do It as we'll as a man
if that work was OF a heavy character.
He thought women were overpaid; he
believed trade unions were being in
jured by dilution of labor; he painted
dark picture Of British industrial life
after the war. But when he had ex-
pressed his disspprobation Of the mu-
nitionetts he spoiled his whole indict-
ment by frankly admitting that they
had saved the old country in its most
critical hour.

HOW -=

planting in the field. 81 never plant

Asa w. Benton and six-year-old
daughter, Hazel Viola, arrived from
Escondido, CAL, for an extended visit.
Mr.. Benton is an old time Minot boy
and moved west twelve years ago, for
the benefit of Mrs. Benton's health.
She was ill with tuberculosis for years
and finally succumbed to the disease
on Nov. 2, last, her remains being
buried at Escondido. Mrs. Benton
was formerly Miss Lillian Davidson,
daughter of the late R. w. Davidson,
one of Ward county's pioneers. The
little daughter will reside with an

BROODING CHICKS.
How to Train Them When Incubator
Born.

How to Train Them When Incubator
Chicks should be removed from the
incubator to the brooder at night. Not
only are they easier handled when it is
dark, but they are more likely to re-
main where they are put under the
hover For the first night or two they
should be confined rather closely to the
hover for this reason.
If not carefully watched for the first
two or three days chicks may huddle
together in a corner Of the brooder,
where they are likely to get chilled, or
trample one another to death in their
efforts to keep warm. 1t only takes 4,
couple of days to train them to take to
the hover.
For the first few days chicks need
rest more than anything else. If sun
light enters the brooder they will spend
hours at time huddled together en-
joying the natural warmth. This is
good for them, as it helps to strength hen
them.
Nature provides for a chicks nOur-
ishment for the first two or three days
Of life. Chicks should be given neither
food nor drink for the first forty eight
hours. IL fed sooner it will be harm
full and not helpful. The unabsorbed
portion of the yolk serves to supply
the chick with nourishment. Additional
food Is likely to cause indigestion and
bowel trouble, which should be avoided
by all means More chicks are lost
every season by Overfeeding than by
undertaking.
