EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN

As a rule the employment Of
women In farming operations
should not be considered II the
agricultural production can be
maintained by the employment
Of men and boys. The depart
ment of agriculture does not
wish to urge the use OF women
laborers on the farms unless the
man supply becomes exhausted.
The lively interest now being
shown by women In oil parts Of
the country who are eager. to
volunteer their services to help
the men and boys carry out the
nations food production program
this year has forced the atten-
ton Of federal officials to the
fact that needed work can be
done by these willing hands.
Women who can help farm wom-
en- with their work and who can
release men In the lighter In
dustries to do the heavier work
on the farms can give valuable
aid In the present labor emer.
gency.

Within the messroom the queen Of

She was almost invisible. and not

know what her connection with the
swarm might be. They knew she had
not human intelligence.
From his position upon the highest
point Of Fair island, MacBeard saw
the swarm vanish at sea. He saw
the F55 start In their wake. and threw
up his hands and raved. Coward as he
was, he could not let his last hope slip
from him like that.
He was the loneliest man In the
world, as he had always been. But he

He believed that, once the first dash

Only when the man and boy supply

call upon women to do mems work on

That, briefly, may be said to he the
policy Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture In the matter Of
women as farm laborers. Badly as Ia
bor will be needed to carry through
programs Of food production this year,
the department does not believe the
situation yet demands the employment
Of women for the heavier farming op-
erations. Rather, 1t believes that ef-
forts now should be directed toward
persuading able-bodied men in the cit
les to do farm work and that commu-
nifty action should be directed to this
end.
Work for Women.
But there will be work TO do for
the thousands of women who are Of

their added duties and taking the place
Of men In the lighter industries, thus
releasing male labor for the farms, are

American Headquarters in France,
Nov. 29.-The examination of Ameri-
can prisoners released from German
prison camps and reaching identifica-
ton camps virtually has been conclud-
ed under the direction of army sur
geons
The examinations indicate that the
physical condition of the men in gen
eral is as good as could be expected,
although some cases are reported
where the men complained of bad
treatment, bad shelter and poor and
insufficient food OF several thousand
men examined no evidence has been
found of reported cases of incubation
with malignant and contagious dis
eases.
General complaint was made by both
officers and men that their food was
extremely bad and their quarters un-
comfortable. Specimens of bread
brought back were found to contain
sawdust and other coarse and inedible
elements. In the majority of cases,
however, the men said their housing
and food were not much worse than
the shelter and rations of the German
soldiers.
No Discrimination Reported.
In one classification camp where ap-
proximately 1000 men from the Allied
armies were examined one French Of
ficer and five British soldiers com.

was general complaint at this camp
of bad food, poor shelter and lack of
liberty
Americans who were confined in Ger
man prisons with Russians and Italians
were found well satisfied with their
treatment in comparison with that
given the Russian and Italian soldiers.
The released prisoners report no dis.
elimination against Americans. Only
a small percentage of those examined
was found in need OF medical atten-
tion. At one classification camp,
where five officers and 344 rlen re
ported from German prisons, only IA
required hospital attention. No cases
of emaciation were found in this group
