of age should not be employed in oc- equations or places of employment clearly unfit for them owing to their youth, as for instance in the public messenger service, in street cars, ele- vated, and subway transportation ser vice, as elevator operators, as bell boys in hotels and clubs, etc.
 Third. 1. The introduction of wo- men into war industries or into em- ployments involving special hazards such as the use of industrial poisons should be guided by the standards as to health, comfort, and safety set up from time to time by the War Labor Policies Board, in addition to the standards already defined by the Fed eral Government and by State labor departments.
 2. The introduction of women into new occupations such as street railway service, public messenger service, etc., should be guided by regulations con- corning hours of labor, night work, etc. Such, for instance as those adopted by the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin for street railway service and by the legislature of New York State for messenger service.
 8. The recruiting of mothers of young children for war industries should be discouraged.
 | 4. The introduction of women into positions hitherto filled by men should not be made a pretext for un- necessarily displacing men.
 Services of the Division of Women industry should be sought by em- ployers to advise on best methods of introducing women, and the working conditions which should be establish ed.
 Fourth. Older men should be more generally employed. They constitute a largely unused labor reserve. In the past they have been considered superannuated at early ages. It is estimated that since the war began the maximum age of engaging mer has advanced 10 to 12, years-that is from about 3S to 50. It has beer found that tasks can be graded fol these workers according to theil strength, and that work unsuitable fol women, especially at night, can. bt performed by them. In many trades their experience is an asset whicf offsets less physical strength. Thu the productive power of this larg' class, now wasted, can be utilized.
 The needs of the country require th' united efforts of all classes of work CTS, in accordance with their capact ties; and to maintain the standard and conditions of labor set up by tn
 Government Is, in the words of Presi dent Wilson. indispensable to the Ma , tion's full productive efficiency"

 A. Merritt Taylor, director of pas senger transportation and housing, Emergency Fleet Corporatio called on O. M. Eidlitz, director of housing and transportation of the Department of Labor, in Washington yesterday, and at a protracted interview Messrs E1ditz and Taylor gave the following general statement:
 We have adopted policies where under our respective activities will be carried on in complete cooperation and accord to the end that duplica- ton of effort will be avoided and maximum results will thereby be ob- tained for the government at a nini- mum efficiency.
 We have a complete understand ing whereby the activities of the United States Housing Corporation of the DeHartment of Labor and the passenger-housing division of the Emergency Fleet Corporation will at all times be fully informed with rela- ton to their respective projects: pro- cedures, and all matters relating thereto; and that all other informa- tion of the one department will be available for the use of the other at all times.
 One matter that has been causing Us great deal of concern in solving the problem of promptly supplying workers to the plants is inadequate passenger transportation facilities on electric railways.

GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN OUTLINED
 BY WAR LABOR POLICIES BOARD
The War Labor Policies Board au-

The War Labor Policies Board au- thorizes the following:
 The War Labor Policies Board has adopted resolution setting forth the Governments attitude toward the em- ployment of women in war industry. Its principles have been approved by all the production and distribution agencies of the Government. The policy adopted will govern the work of the Division of Women in Industry of the Department of Labor, of which Miss Mary Van Kleek Is chief.
 The resolution is as follows:
 The existing shortage of labor, ag gravated daily by the military and na- val. demands of the Government, which require a greatly increased pro- duction of war materials and at the same time the withdrawal from civil ian occupations of about quarter of million additional recruits each month, necessitates widespread re- course to the labor of women in the United States.
 In order that their services may be
  CT conserved, a clearly defined policy is needed which shall determine what kinds of work women should perform how they should best be introduced, under what conditions they should be employed, and what work should be prohibited.
 Standards as to hours, night work, wages and conditions of labor have all ready been provided by the Govern ment in orders issued by the Chief of Ordnance and the Quartermaster Gen eral, and in the recommendations made by the War Labor Board, which should be observed by all employers. First: The shortage of labor in es- sential war industries should be met in part by further introducing women | into occupations easily filled by them such as clerical and cashier service and accounting in manufacturing, mercantile, and financial establish ments and in the offices of transpor- tation companies and other public utilities such as sales clerks and floor walkers in mercantile establishments including among others department stores, speciality stores, shoe stores mems furnishing stores, florists shops, jewelry stores, drug stores, so- da-water fountains, etc.
 Second: Women should not be em- ployed to replace men in occupations or places of employment clearly unfit for women owing to physical or mora conditions, as, for instance, in bar rooms and saloons, in pool rooms, ir or about mines, smelters, and guar ries, on furnace work in glass works etc. In addition, girls under 21 year!

TEST DIVING MACHINE
 TO UNDO U-BOATS WORK

A deep sea diving machine design ed for use in raising torpedoed yes sels was tested recently in Long Is- land Sound off New Rochelle. Its inventor, w. D. Sisson, president of the American Salvage Co. of 115 Broadway, will ask for a government trial.
 The machine propelled by an cleo tric motor, went down 9S feet, bored holes in a steel plate, inserted rivets and brought the plate to the surface. It was manipulated by two men in side. The current was furnished from a barge. MT. Sisson asserts that the machine can be used to fasten water filled pontoons to sunken ships. Then, when the pontoons are emptied, the ships will be brought to the surface.
 Propellors on the bottom for nov ing up and down and two on the side for propulsion forward and back ward, make the machine easy to ma nouevre. It is nine foot long. seven feet six inches in. diameter, and weighs nine tons.
 Magnets on the outside hold the machine against the ship into which rivet holes are bored. Small port holes permit the machine crew to see what they are doing. Strong electric lamps light the water for them. There is equipment for expe1ling exhausted air and pumping water from the bal last tanks. Communication with the barge was by telephone.

THOUSANDS 60 TO BEACHES TO GET
 AWAY FROM HEAT

One prostration from the heat was the toll taken by the hottest day of the present year, and this occurred yesterday afternoon when William Vaneise, 6 years old, was playing in the yard at the rear of his home, 2370 Park avenue. About o'clock he fell to the ground unconscious and when the ambulance responded with Dk. Matthew J. Foley in charge, the lad was taken to St. Vincent's hospital Df. Foley worked on him applying restoratives all the way to the hos pital but to no avail. The boy was unconscious for many hours but it is thought he will recover.
 All avenues leading from the city to places where it was thought relief might be obtained from the excessive heat were crowded with vehicles of every description beginning early yesterday morning. It was necessary to put on a great many extra trolley cars to convey the enormous numbers of people to the beaches, 55 being used. It is estimated that in the neighborhood of 75,O00 people en- Joyed a cooling dip in the Sound at the adjacent beaches.
 William Jennings, volunteer weather forecaster of this city, said that the temperature yesterday reached 95 degrees and the extreme humidity added to the discomfort of the people The average temperature during the day was 80 degrees. Mir. Jennings could not predict with any degree of certainty when the backbone of the summers first hot wave would be broken as this wave seems to be sweeping over the entire country. The highest temperature yesterday was 95 degrees abou o'clock

MILITARY HONORS FOR ROOSEVELT
 WHERE HE FELL

Amsterdam, July 22-The death of Quentin, Roosevelt is confirmed by a Wolff Bureau message from the received here. The message adds that Young Roosevelt was buried with military honors by the Germans. The story of the fatal encounter, as told by the Wolff Bureau correspondent, follows:
 "On Sunday, July IA, an American squadron of twelve battleplanes was trying to break through the German defense over the Marne. In the violent combat which ensued with seven German machines one American aviator stubbornly made repeated at tacks. This cuIminated in a duel between him and German non-com- missioned officer, who, after a short fight, succeeded in getting good aim at his brave, but inexperienced op- ponent, whose machine fell after a few shots near the village of Cham bry, ten kilometres north of the Marne.
 His pocket case showed him to be aviation section of the United States Army. The personal belongings oi the fallen airman are being carefully kept with a view to sending them later to his relatives. The earthly remains of the brave airman were buried with military honors by Ger man airmen near Chambray at the spot where he fell"
