MORE WOMEN NEEDED
FOR SAFE WAR PLANTS
Workers Wanted to Make Uni
forms, Gas Masks and Parts
of Airplanes

steady demand for women workers
comes from the real industries, where,
though thousands Of workers are already
giving the best that Is in them, thousands
more needed to turn out equipment for
the American army. Women are needed for
making gas masks, in airplane factories for
mending and sewing the hundreds OF thou
sands of uniforms to keep the men warm
through approaching winter. None of these
occupations is dangerous there is no dan
ger of explosions. yet the percentage of
women who are applying is deplorably small

women's bureau of the United States en-
ployment service.
The larger proportion of women apply for

of what they are. Excellent salaries are
offered for the war work whether the work.

CHAPTER '
Peggy Uses Her Dagger

CAI music urged the Gipsy children on
VI in their dance. The musicians were
three old gipsics, one with n violin, one with
an accordion, and one with II either. ON
these strangely assorted Instruments they
produced wild fantastic melodies that
Peggy's feet could not resist She and
Billy Belgium were carried into the dance
before they knew it, 1t was very queer
very giddy, very gay. Peggy felt that she
could dance forever and forever.
The music told of sunbeams playing in the
woods at dawn. Of breezes ripping through
the leaves, of tiny whirlwnds sweeping
across the summer fields, of gales raging at
sea, of wintry blasts roaring through the
tree-tops And as the music told its chang
ing story, Peggy danced in harmony.
But once again came the warning voice
this time from y tree above the camp fire:
Beware the gpsy charm
1t threatens dolcful harm"
Now Peggy who was warning her, II
was Judge owl. He was seated I'm the
shadows, but the flicker Of the frclight re-
Nealed him for moment.
Come on. Judge owl dance with us
sang Peggy. Don't be an old croaker--
life's all joy and Gladness,"
"See the old owl! Shoot the old owl"
shrieked the gypsy children, hurting stones

Filth and rubbish still abound i'm numerous

\ tour of certain sections of South Phia-
delphia reveals streets and alleys encun-
bered with garbage. filth. waste papers. de-
caynE vegetables and all the ragtag and bob
tail of germ-laden refuse.
one OF the most glarng examples is an

passageway with every gust of wind.
Reporting this alley to the Bureau af

1t would take powerful fre-hose stream to
dislodge some of the filth there
Another spot is an alley in the rear of
Seventh street, below Mexican. a chicken
dealer uses the alley as a dumping place for
chicken feathers and chicken blood. A big
pool of blood is in this little thoroughfarc
almost constantly, oozng its way i'm n stream
