the Job.
Through the ordnance department
the government has requested the
Y. w. C.. A. to care for the recrea-
ton ad social welfare of the thous-
ands Of girls and women engaged in
munitions plants and other war in
dustries. ~. =
The magnitude Of the task is in
dictated by the fact that the govern
ment has this summer opened twen-
ty-two munitions cantonments, and
has taken over about q hundred
cost plus" plants formerly operat-
ed under private ownership.
Great numbers Of women are al
ready employed in these plants and
the total will be increased enormous
ly as successive drafts call more men
into the service and leave their plac-
es to be filled by women.
Forty-five thousand women are
employed in one plant in Connect
cut. In this Long Island city gas
mask factory. five thousand girls
are working. These are typical In
stances Of the extent to which wo-
men have been drawn into war in
dustries.
In some. munition centers, clubs
and recreation buildings will be sup
piled by the government. Where
this Is not done, the Y. w. c. A. will
use building which is already at
hand or will erect one. These build
ings will contain rest, recreation and
assembly rooms. a gymnasium and
showers. Any girl in the plant may
have all the privileges Of the build
ing. She needn't be a member of the
X. w. c. A.

SMALL BUSINESS UNITS A
NATIONAL WASTE


Tremendous waste results also
from our system Of endlessly multi
plying the number Of our small
shops, stores, restaurants and BUSH
ness places of all kinds. Thus we Of
ten find In single block or office
building scores of concerns engaged
in practically the same kind of bust
ness. with their unnecessary con-
sumption of space. heat and light:
their duplication Of furniture, fix
lures and delivery cars. telephones,
typewriting. duplicating, computing,
addressing and adding machines. and
appliances; their cashiers, steno-
graphers. clerks. bookkeepers. wait
ers, cooks. chauffeurs and other en-
plloyees; their specially printed let
terheads. bill heads. envelopes. price
lists and advertising and printed
matter Of all kinds: and their inev-
table bosses who spend much Of
their time worrying about expenses
and trying to escape bankruptcy.
Moreover. the waste Of labor and
material incident 70 the useless mul-

greater. In partial recognition Of
this fact, the legislature Of several
of our states have recently enacted
laws making idleness CRIME, and
these laws, II carefully administered
will doubtless do much good. But
even a most casual review of the sit
uation reveals the inadequacy of
such laws, for the confirmed loafer,
or the tramp who does absolutely no
work, is by no means our worst time
waster, since. although he wastes all
Of his own time, he at least leaves
other people free to devote their
time to useful occupations. The real
trouble is that millions of our peo-
pie in their pursuit Of lassItude and
luxury or in their efforts to profit
by stimulating useless consumption
by others, waste the time of other
millions and their own time as
well.

Are we employing a chauffeur for

release them for military service or
for work as army nurses, cooks or

production of army clothing, food,
coal, or for any of the thousand and

workers are needed. And II we can
help in no other way in this war.

tons man power and learn to feed,
dress and take care Of ourselves and
our children. There are many thous-
