POSITIONS OPEN
TO WOMEN
ore Workers Needed in
Wilmington
More

The demand for women workers
in Wilmington during the past year
has far exceeded the available sup
nlv. This has been due largely to
the calls for men in shipyardS and
the vacancies created by the large
number Of men in the army. An
other reason is that in many estab-
lishments in which women have
not heretofore been given an op-
portunity for displaying their skill,
the proprietors have learned by
necessity that women are really
better adapted for certain lines Of
work than are the men, and the
ranks of the men, depleted by es-
sential war work, are being filled
by women.
This new condition of affairs has
This new condition Of affairs has
caused number Of the Whining
ton manufacturers to fit up special
ro0ms-recreation parlors, lunch
rooms, etc, to aid in making the
lot Of the female worker more COM
Portable than under the old time
conditions.
The was time when women
were poorly paid for most any kind
of labor. Her sex was detriment
but today there is such an impera-
tive demand for her services that
manufacturers gladly pay hel
wages equal to that of men. anC

secure more women workers.

Influenza Conditions Improving

h speaking with Dr E A. Ca.lahan, President Of the Board of Health, we are informed that Il influenza conditions are i'm proplug and that no unexpected cases have developed during the the past few days. Dr Callahan states that he wishes to impress upon the people that all those wh0 are suffering from the maI- adg act to try to get out too soon ant to isolate themselves as nucb as possible in order not to cogae in contact with others who have not had the disease.
 From all reports Carlisle is in better condition than any town in the state at the present time. anf if IS believed it will not take long to wipe out the disease if tLa board of health can get the fuI co operation of the citizens It will not harm those who are conpalescing to stay in a little longer and will certainly be a benefit to others with whom they would necessarily come in con tact | they get out too soon. Ev- cry pvecaution should be taken to carry out the boards instruc- t,ons Aa nearly as possible to rid tha town Of present conditions.

An Unconqueeable Union of Peoples

There is great and inspiring national fact wrapped up in the little story sent out from Liberty Loan headquarters at Minneapo- lis It tells of a German-born farmer in South Dakota who ask ed of the Loan Committee of his town what it's quota was and on hearing that the sum was S12,- 1000 subscribed for the whole amount. He said he had boy fighting in the American ranks in France and wished to prove to him that Il am backing him up to the limit ,
 We believe that this act fairly epitomizes the position of very great majority of American citi- zens of German birth as well as of German antecedents What eyer may have been their atti- tude before the United States entered the war. there can be no question about their attitude since. They are for the Repub- lie. Their names are to be found in every American casualty list coming from the front and they are spread upon all the lists of money given and money lent to back up those fighting lines to the limit.
 There is something more in this thanfthe assurance of a vic torious prosecution of America $ war in Europe, There is the as. surance also of a victorious issue to Americas home problem. doubtful to all the rest of the world, of a perfect union under one flag of many peoples and customs and tongues.
