placed through the banks of the country and are purchased mostly by the banks themselves for their own account
 The banks, both large and small, are expec-ed to lend portion of their avail able funds to the shrdlu department through these certificates, just as manu- facturers are expected to give considera- tion to the requirements of the govern ment in disposing of their output, and just as individuals are expected to make some sacrifice by investing in Liberty Bonds and other governmental war securities.
 UP TO BANKER
 ''There are in the sixth federal reserve district about POO banks and the treas ury certificate department is going to put up to every banker in the district the duty of lending the government cn this S0-day paper, even though is may mean sacrifice in rate.
 This action of the banks will result, first, in the cultailment of nonessential loans; and secondly, by this purchase Of treasury certificates the communities in position to pay the instalments on the fourth Liberty Loan without any undue strain. Thus, you see, these treasury certificates are the forerunners of Lib erty Bond issues and smooth the way for them.
 'tThe current expenses of the govern ment can only be met by the cooperation of the banks of the country. The neces- sity for a general response by the banks to this duty is obvious

CHILD LABOR BARRED.

State authorities of Kentucky have
prepared a list of occupations barred
to children under 16 years of age by
the state child labor law. The list is
a long one and includes every occupa-
ton dangerous to life and limb, or
injurious to health or morals. If this
act is violated by an employer he is
denied shelter under the workmen's
compensation act. Under the law no
child under 16 years of age is per-
mitted to work at any occupation be-
fore a. IN. or after p. M, nor more
than eight hours in any one day, nor
more than six days a week. Parents
cannot work their own children in vio-
lation of this act

CONTINUE DEFENSE COUNCIL.

The secretaries forming the ma
tional council of defense have passed
resolutions seeping the council in ex-
istence.
This action is taken owing to the
large amount of work to be done thru
out the country following demobili-
zation and to complete and carry out
the plans of necessary work under
way. Cessation Of war does not les
sen the necessity Of carrying on the
work of the council. In number
of states the council is being made a
permanent organization at the sug-
gestion of the federal department in
Washington. Colorado has not yet
taken definite action on this matter

period. These include dangers to
health from unsanitary working con-
ditions and hazardous occupations, in
adequate opportunities for training
and limited chances to be advanced to
more responsible work in many in
dustries, and the dangers to health
involved in long hours and employ
ment at night. These conditions and
the payment of a distinctly lower
mems work have always been a check
upon the rendering of the most eff
cient service by women workers. The
war has demonstrated that the range
of possibilities for efficiency by wom-
en- in industry is much larger than has
been assumed in the past This is
notably illustrated in the work of
women in machine processes.
Opportunity for Service
The opportunity before the employ
ment service at this time is very
great. A program should be adopted
whereby plants will notify the en-
ployment service in advance of the
laying off of workers. In one state
the women's division of the employ
ment service is planning to establish
movable office, with a force to be
sent to a plant to register in advance
the workers VINO are to be dismissed,
thus making possible their transfer
to other establishments without loss
of time.
If the nation is to secure the most
effective service from women workers,
vocational training must be planned
to cover a wider range of occupations
for women, and in the workshops in
creasingly large opportunities should
be given to the women.
These complicated problems can
only be met by variety of methods
of attack. The agencies of the fed
eral government, the local offices of
the employment service, the state de-
partment of labor, industrial estab-
lishments, especially thru effective
employment management, the working
women themselves, and the public
schools must all have an active part
in the well-rounded program.
