MANY PLACES FOR WOMEN.
The War Is Opening Up New Kinds o
Occupation.

| Never before was the scope of voca
tional opportunity for women so wide
nor the chances for even unframed WON

| The advice of authorities on women in
| industry, however, is to the effect that
adequate training is essential for eff
cheney to-day, and the war has brought
into existence many sources of instruc-

industry.
The type of woman, her mental and
physical ability, will determine largely
her wage earning power. For the woman
of fair education the various lines of
clerical work offer fruitful field The
United States civil service possibly pre-
sents the most favorable opportunity
for this class as the service of female
clerks for the government is in demand.
There is need in most of the large cities
for intelligent women to fill clerical posi-
tions, taking the place of men who have
gone to war.
Banks are opening their doors to wom-
en- clerks and offices and commercial
houses require women in their filing di
visions. for statistical work, the opera
ton OF tabulating machines, secretarial
work, etc The railroad offices through
out the country employ women as ticket
agents. freight clerks and in other cleri-
cal positions formerly filed by men. In
many cities the demand for telephone
operators is larger than the supply.
For the woman in the country the
farm offers an opportunity for service.
Women in New York and New Jersey
last summer demonstrated their ability
to perform mutually profitable work in
the market gardens, orchards and even
in the grain fields. AT the beginning of
the season the farmers treated with skep-
ticism feminine offers of service; but be-

The lady looked down at the floor
and failed to proceed.
"You mean he desired that we

"Have you any Idea how much my

Il have been told that It produces
an income of three thousand n year."
There was brief pause after which

The situation had reached this stage

SENATOR McCUMBER
North Dakota Senator Gives

Washington, Jan. l7.-Senator Me
lCumber of North Dakota yesterday CAV
THE Senate gloomy picture OF the posi-
ton of the United States and her allies
in emphasizing his plea for radical speed
ing up of the shipbulding program.
He declared England was now bearing
the brunt of the war and asked how long
she could stand this strain.
The United States must send 5000,
900 troops to balance the man power OF
the central powers, he said and 1000
900 would be needed to make the Ger
mans retreat.
Russia and Rumania are out of the
war;" he asserted. ITALY is losing
ground. France is unable to make any
Roadway.
"Who can say how long Italy can or
will withstand the Teutonic pressure.
Optimistic, indeed, must be the man who
will say single year without addition
al support.

queror, with France assailed in the flank,
who ear prophesy that that country will
not quickly be brought under the heel
of the same conqueror and England's
army left to battle against overwhelm-
ing numbers ?"
He said the idea that pointing out our
weakness discouraged the American peo-
pie and encouraged the enemy was mis-
taken one, and declared: I'VE must now
learn the lesson that Boosting will not
win the war" He said he was tired OF
hearing arguments that Germany would
be reduced to submission by starvation
and stated that the central powers con
trolled three times as much territory in
Europe as the allies.
The balance of resources held by this
country, he said, should not be con
sidered until there was tonnage to carry
men and products across the seas.
''The entente powers have about
reached their limit" he continued.
"When the United States entered the
war the allies cried give us ships We
allayed their fears; we assured them
we would supply that shipping. We took
that duty upon ourselves, the most inn |
portant. the most vital duty incumbent |
upon US in this war. And we have |
neglected that duty beyond any other,

travellers did not bring stories of en-
countering him. He always worked
alone, but his absolute disregard of dan
ger made him a terror to everyone who
went into that part of the state.
Recently his robberies had become 50
frequent and the killing of his victims
so numerous that the Brazilians called
him angelo the Man Killer" and the
police were ordered by the state govern
ment to take him dead or alive. A search
ing party of five started in search of
him.
After march of 81 miles, the search

ly section known as Canivete, which
had been the scene of many of his most
desperate achievements. Angelo was hid

lice undertook to wait until he should
leave his refuge, but their presence was
soon reported to the desperate, who
mounted his horse and set out at gal
lop to meet the police.
When told to dismount and consider
himself prisoner, Angelo dashed for
ward, shooting at the men who had at
tempted to arrest him. Dismounting
and using his horse as shield, he con
tinued shooting until the police began
to close in ON him, then he remounted
and galloped away, still shooting at the
officers, who dared to pursue him and
he was still shooting with revolver.
when rifle bullet killed him and he fell
from his galloping horse.

Suggested Employment of Women in
Storage and Warehousing Depots.

/ Miss Mary VanKleeek of the Russell
| Sage foundation and member of the com
mittee on women in industry of the ad
visory commission of the council of ma
tional defense, has prepared a bulletin
referring to the employment of women
! in the storage and warehousing depots
of the United States army
Under the auspices of the storage com
mittee of the war industries board OF
the council of national defense, Miss
VanKleeek conducted an investigation
which covers the depots of the ordnance
department, the quartermaster corps, and
the medical department of the war de-
partment in Boston, Springfield, Mass,
New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, JEFF
fersonville and Atlanta.
Already women are being employed in
several of these depots as clerks, stenog-
raphers and telephone operators More
recently they have undertaken the work
of inspection of limited number of ar
ticles, and in one depot they have been
employed as packers.
1t is evident that much of the work
is too heavy for women, and this is the
chief objection to their employment. Miss
VanKleeck suggests leaving the heavier
tasks to men while women assume some
of the light work now done by the men.
In England, according to information
given by representatives of the ministry
of munitions in this country, women are
now employed in all the processes of
storage work.
The successful employment OF women,
Miss VanKleeck declares, will depend
upon carefully supervised experiments
and upon provision for oversight of their
work and its conditions by women SUI.

Assignment of Registered Bonds.

BY an official order of the treasury,
the assignment of registered bonds here
tofore made only before certain treasury
officials and the officers of certain courts
and federal reserve and natioral banks
can now legally be made before officers
of Incorporated state banks and trust
companies.
This will be a great relief to many
holders of registered bonds living in small
towns and cities where there are no ma
tional banks or persons before whom the
assignment could legally be made
Heretofore it has not been usual for a
fee to be charged for the assignment of
bonds, and it is presumed that the newly
designated agencies will conform to the
custom and make no charge.
