THE NEW CITIZENS POINT OF VIEW
Women

he woman's division will be charged pri-
manly with determining policies rather than
IN carrying on detailed administration. It
VIII cooperate with state departments of labor
working through and with them, in order to
bring about united action by the states in
national problems of women's work Be
cause of this policy-making function of the
woman's division Miss Van Keeck will serve
as a member of the War Labor Policies Board"
Special Protection for
Women is Urged
These standards for employment of women
will be upheld by the new division:
Hours of Labor
Existing legal standards should be rigidly
maintained, and even where the law permits
nine or ten hour day. efforts should be made
to restrict the work Of women to eight hours.
Prohibition of Night Work
The employment of women on night shifts
should be avoided as a necessary protection,
moral and physical.
Rest Periods
No should be employed for longer
period than four and a half hours without a
break for meal, and a recess of ten minutes
should be allowed in the middle of each work
ing peIlOu
Time for Meals
At least 80 minutes should be allowed for a
meal and this time should be heightened to IS
minutes or an hour if the working day exceeds
eight hours.
Place for Meals
Meals should not be eaten in the workrooms
Saturday Half Holiday
The Saturday half holiday should be con-
sidered an absolute essential for women under
all conditions.
Working Conditions
For women who sit at their work, seats with
backs should be provided, unless the occupa-
ton renders this impossible. For women who
stand at work seats should be available and
their use permitted at regular intervals.
Lifting Weights
No woman should be required to lift re-
peatedly more than twenty-five pounds in any
single load.

an recognition of the great Importance of
the work Of women in industry and the urgent
necessity for national policy in determining
the conditions of their employment I have
urged and Congress has now granted, the
necessary authority to establish womans
division in the Department of Labor. Its i'm
mediate task will be to develop in the indus
tries of the country policies and methods which
will result in the most effective use of women's
services in production for the war, while at the
same time preventing their employment I'M

necessary aim will be to focus attention on the
national Importance of the conditions of wom-

Our Weekly Fable In Slang
By BARTON RICHARDS

sIather and his one favorite indoor
sport vas taking a wallop at the news
paper in his town was the issue that
carried his articles.
Oh, yes, he wrote some. When the
town council decided to make few
of his kind come across with a few
double eagles for d new school or two,
Dennis Immediately set himself down
and in true Websterian style unioaded
q scathing rebuke to those "pilferers
Of the public moneys. and then mailed
hundred copies to his friends show
ing what a beautiful style Of writing
he had.
Outside Of this one issue the local
scribes never got out regular paper
to her D. x. NJ. explain It. Their
spelling was atrocious, and Dennis had
the goods on them. They often put in
a letter where 1t shouldn't be. What
was a family newspaper for if 1t could
Mt act as a guide IN orthography2
The climax came though when Den
mis- submitted an article one afternoon
on the Beauties Of Living Next to a
Brewery and as the newspaper didn't
have enough copy the next day they
slipped the article in. To Nudes
unutterable disgust they left out a
couple Of letters in one word and forgot
to run his name at the head Of the ar
ticle and you should have heard him
rave.
The prooffeader must have been
drunk, the editor was weak minded TO
place the article where he did, the lin
otype man vas an imbeciie to run
stuff in that shape and the pressman
must have learned to run press out
on the farm What Dennis didn't say
about the filthy sheet as he called it,,
would have gone in the fly leaf Of a
mosquitoes diary and he shined up his
plug kelly and started down TO clean
the newspaper joint out
He got his first wind on his TRADE
and the editor, in that slow nouchal-
ant way editors have Of doing put UP
his mitt, and said "Mudd you've been
panning US hard for slipping up a little
now and then and In going to take
you through the plant and show you
: hat it means to get out daily news
paper" Fire" thinks Dennis and the
trip was on.
The first place they visited was the
linotype men, and about that time Of
the day the linotype men were as busy
as hen on hot gTiddle. Every man
was in high speed and the noise sound
ed like a nest Of Browning machine
guns The next place they visited was
the proofreader and the pile Of proofs
this dude had looked like an accumu-
lation Of all the clippings Dennis had
ever seen. From there they eased into
the editorial rooms and watched the
city editor raVing over the way some
would be Thackerays were turning in
their stuff and as Dennis belonged to
the best church in town the language
was a little strenuous for him

AMERICAN AND GERMAN
FINANCES

Pessimistic Americans who view
with alarm our increasing national OBJ
lizations, may derive a great deal Of
comfort from comparison of the
financial condition of the United
States contrasted with that Of Ger
many.
The total resources Of the United
States are estimated at about $3.50
000,000,000; our annual earnings are
estimated at about $4,000, eco, 600. Our
national debt, including the Third
Liberty Loan, may be put around $l2,-
600, 900. 900.
Before the war our government
was spending about $1,000, 100000 a
year. When the war is ended. inter-
est charges, less the interest collected
from our loan to our allies. govern
ment insurance expenses and other
necessary expenditures growing out
of the war may conserVatively be
estimated at something like s1,000,000,
600. We are confronted. therefore,
when peace comes, with raising only
a couple Of billions year revenue, a
slight task for nation of such tre-
mendous wealth, capacity and re-
sources.
The resources Of Germany before
the war were estimated TO be $780,
then of the imperial government were
about $500, 900, 900. Her debt now is
$50 600 100000. and her resources and
man power have been severely inn
paired After the war she is con
fronted with additional expenditures
growing out Of the war totaling some
$4,000, 600, 900.
The interest of her war debt even
if the debt grows no larger, will be
about 81 500 600 900 Although she is
niggardly IN her pensions to private
soldiers and their families. sl,000,Q00,-
p00 q year would hardly suffice 70 pay
eVen sns3hpefsioI fs her injured and
the fam Of her soldiers who have
been killed Her war debt must be
paid some time and a sinking fund of
per cent would adv $1,000 100000 to
her annual taxation. Hero Is total
Increase Of $4,000, 100000 all due to the
war.
OF course bath the United States
and Germany may greatly increase
their debts, but the increases will not
change the relative situations.
The German government has drain
ed the German people Of their gold,
even their jewels and heirlooms and
vet the Imperial Bank of Germany
now has but little over S5000o0(000 Of
gold in its vaults. The United States
has made no special effort to obtain
gold. has made no call upon the peoF
pie for the precious metal, and yet to-
day has in its treasury vaults prac-
tically $4,000, 100000 OF gold coin ana
bullion.

PENcADER AND SCHOOL
CONSOLIDATION.

ttNSuItD8l liON.
To the Editor OF The Evening Journal
Sir: In the interest OF education.
would ask that you kindly insert the
following in your valuable paper:
/ am glad to note that the people OF
Pencader hundred are being aroused to
the value OF consolidated schools.
have been urging this for the past year
in the nelghborhood OF Porters and
there seems TO be in that locality a
general sentiment in favor OF such a
move. / visited one school about two
miles from Porters and spoke In favor
OF consolidation.
The teacher said she would gladly
welcome such a move.
In letters 10 and interviews with
Professor Spaid, have been persis-
tent in voicng the the need Of con-
solidated school at Porters as a railroad
junction. the railroad making IL easy OF
access from four directions.
IL is, however. immaterial TO me
where the start is made so long as some
action is taken by the state Board OF
Education in conjunction with the dis
trlct. The need is very great in the
neighborhood to which ] have referred
probably as great as anywhere in the
state.
! take the liberty 20 suggest that
when a consolidated school house is
built that it be so constructed that 1t
be provided with a fair-sized assembly
room which can be used by the neigh
borhood for entertainments. grange
meetings and social functions Of vari-
Gus kinds. from which advantage would
