Eddystone Welfare Head
Says Wives and Mothers
Make Good Workers

There was a time when she was a
real power that girl of eighteen or
twenty. Today II is the woman of fl ON
| twenty-five TO fifty who is the feminine
backbone in industry.
| Such was the summing up today of
| the industrial situation among women
| by one who has her finger on the pulse
Of it--Mrs. Jessie Robilard, welfare su-
perlntendent of the Eddystone Ammuni-
ton Corporation plant.
! In the splendid "nfth Wheel that
woman-power has added to the indus
trial machine of the country the young.
| irresponsible spoke is being wrenched
out and more stable member of society
| Is taking it's place, according to Mrs.
Robillard. Sterling worth. 1t seems. has
| come into glory, and personal attractive
ness has been lost In the shuttle.
"It is not tho frivolous young girls
whose earnings represent frilly blouses,
fluffy underwear and $50 shoes that
count as factor In the industrial
world" Mrs Robillard said. "It Is the
| mature girl or woman who has some real
purpose in life who does herself credit.
| The girl who has a mother to support,
the woman who has children at home
and even the grandmother who wants TO
help out make up the real type of work.
ers, These women have stability of pur-
pose. interest in their work and a 10y
atty to their job: in fact, all the quali-
ties that one looks for In man. Their
advent in this field is not wartime
measure. They are the future heads in
the new order of things"
As this sweet-faced, gray-haired
woman went through the big plant where
great Government contracts for shells
are being filled, one could see how
| l. .t,s. hnrGnlf
woman in that army of some 200 missed
a CHEEKY w-do-you-do?" Here and
there she stopped to inquire for n sick
mother or how the work on new ma
chine was progressing. Her heart, as
| well as her mind was occupied with
the workers, their problems were hei
problems and the solution of those
problems of great Importance to her.
'As women they are under my care
Mrs. Robillard remarked. "As work
ers, they are under the foremen."
Mrs. Robilard took an original view
of the employment Of mature womer
In industry. She also gave practica
reasons why the industrial world, will
its long hours and firing duplicate work
is not the place for the young girl Of
eighteen
ITO have the young woman or young
man. for that matter. working all day
is absolutely wrong" Mrs. Robillart
said. "rheir mental. moral and re

silk and other fabrics.
He outlined to them the possibilities
for America n-made goods If art and
history were closely enough allied
to designing. As "a result, manu1ac'
turers let their designers wander by
the hour among the prehistoric gray
rollers!
Paris always depended on art ano
history for inspiration in her dollars
and cents dressmaking. But American
designers, once they passed the art
school age. were inclined to spend
more time in calculating how suitable
a feature was for grinding out by
the thousands than on the art of the
feature itself. All this is changed now
TT is no idle jest then to call the
i curators our real fashion experts
In a certain sense we are largely in
debted to them for the tremendous
success of made-in.Amcrica clothes
since the war. For when we have
artistic fabrics we have gone consid-
erably toward having artistic gowns.
1t is q long way from the Peruvian
cat to your new afternoon frock: but
perhaps not so long but that you
will stop and think and perhaps fee
a little more at home the next time
you rush through museum of nat
ural history.

Hurrah for the Woman Farmer
TIC tho Editor Of Womdn's Page:


Dear Madam am tired OF hearing crit
icism about women being foolish to think
they can go on farms and help the food
situation. Some men seem to think women
look ct this matter in the light OF nov
city and that the results Will be accord
ngly. Let me say this-no woman who
has never been on farm thinks for a min
ute that she can go and become expert
al il in one season any more than any city.
bred man could go and do the same. But
sh,. can put her whole heart and soul In II
and put up with tired muscles until she
lea arns how to be useful,
Farmers every hand are complaining
about shortage of help on their farms. Per-
haps, we shall say. II will take three women
10 dc the work OF two men on a farm, What
Of it? The thing is TO get the work done.
and II enough women are willing TO shoulder
the rule to make up for the three and two
percentage, why, good luck to them! You
can't make food grow by standing around
ard telling the people how much stronger
men are than women. The thing Is for
some ore to start something. The women
are ready for action They proved In a
small way what they. could do last year,
and this year they will prove II a hundred
fold. Good luck to them: o,,,s,
