Beatrice Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

the poor war workers who were
having such trouble finding quar-
ters and rented her furnished
apartment to q lieutenant in our
army and his bride.
She took. at his suggestion, .

this necessary a. he had given his
word he would not take AdVant-

In time to put her children in
school the lieutenant told her that
these were war times. and he had
no intention OF moving. When ex-
postulated with he told my sister
tn-lAw that there were plenty OF
houses in southwest Washington.
which she might rent, and when
asked why he did not take one he
said; "Oh, we couldn't live in
southwest Washington"
Ny sister-in-law, finding she had
key to her apartment unlocked the
door, walked in and took posses
sion, Offering the lieutenant and
his wife the use OF the bedroom
until they could find another home.
Then they threatened to have her
arrested for housebreAking-the

my Sister-in-law maintained her
dignity, though often sorely tried.
The wife, by the way, was the
daughter Of q Washington family,
and might at any time have gone to
her fathers large home, which they
did eventually.
There are always two sides to a
question, this being one case where
a Washingtonian opening her door
to strangers got more than she bar
gained for. Please let me say we
have in our home & war worker OF

War Worker Versus Lady.

give the war workers uniforms. so
that ! might be able to tell when
I am sitting by a lady or . war
worker"
The expressed wish of a Wash
ington woman overheard in a street
car. Why didn't she ride in her
carriage rather than contaminate
herself by q public street car which
We war workers must patroniEe.
We wonder II in her opinion the
wearing OF a uniform may cause
the difference her statement seems
to imply. She seems to forget that
our soldiers and sailors wear uni
forms. or course, we war workers
realize that we are not to be COM
pared to our brave boys, but we
wish to do all we can and cOnsiCer
II a misfortune rather than a fault
that we are unable TO do more.
Thousands of women have left

be expected that there will be some

NO GASOLINE SUNDAYS

Announcement has just been made
by the United States fuel admins
tration calling upon the people in
states east of the Mississippi river
to cease using automobiles, motorcy-
cles, motorboats, including such We
hicles for hire, on Sundays during
the next few weeks as a gasoline
conservation measure. Motor vehi-
cles to which the restrictions do not
apply were announced as:
Tractors and motor trucks employ
ed in actual transportation.
Vehicles of physicians used in per-
forming professional duties.
Ambulances, fire apparatus, police
patrol wagons, undertakers' wagons
and conveyances used for funerals.
| Railway equipment using gasoline.
Repair outfits employed by tele-
phone and public service companies.
Motor vehicles on errands of ne
cessity in rural communities where
transportation by steam or electrici-
ty is not available.
Only voluntary compliance with
the letter and spirit of this announce
ment will prevent the issuance of a
mandatory order within ten days
prohibiting the use of gasoline on
Sundays.
This actoni is taken by the fuel ad
ministration TO meel threatened
shortage of gasoline for shipment
overseas, created by increased do
mestic demands and military opera
tions in France.
l urgently appeal, therefore, to all
people of my county to meet this sit
uation in the same loyal and patriot
ic spirit they have shown in comply
ing with all other requests sent out
by this administration.
I want to call attention to the fact
that a large quantity Of gasoline is
used ait the coal mines in Tennessee
for running haulage motors, water
pumps and other machinery, and it
has just come to my attention that
mines are having difficulty in getting
the necessary gasoline for operation
This situation gives added import
ance to the strict observance of this
conservation measure in Tennessee.
Understand that this prohibits the
use of gasoline for pleasure and un-
necessary use only on Sundays.
