Good Pay Fails to Attract
Enough to Fill All

Demand to Increase
Now Draft Law Will Leave
Many Vacancies That
Women Must Fill

II is time for the unskilled girl

her manicure to forget those dreams

For war plants are begging for her

Louise C. Odencrantz, state supervisor
=, the women's division of the United
States Employment Service, reported
yesterday that the old prejudices
aosinst factory work still persists
among unskiled workers. thus tipping
the balance against war work most un-
favorably.
The unsklled girl who cannot do
ANYTHING we'll is a drug on the market
to-day. Miss Odencrantz said. Trained
vorkers even in clerical work are badly
needed, while the demand for beginners
in factory work is Unsuitable. A few
weeks trainings would fit a girl for

work whenever possible.

college graduates and teachers
must accept the same Dose" said Miss
0dencrantz. "Any intelligent woman
wishing to do war work may do it, for
the women's division has more calls
from war plants than IL can fill, but
the appNcant must be willing to learn
to use her hands or her head in new
work. Mere general intelligence or a
college education does not help her

if she is willing to start in at a learn
er's position ct minimum wage, she
can be placed in twenty-four hours"
Woman labor is still a secondary
problem in the labor field, but with
the possibility of the new draft law,
the woman's departments OF every
United States employment office are
establishing themselves with as flexible
machinery as possible. So far the
Presidential proclamation restricting
the recruiting of urskilled workers by
private firms or e-charging employ
ment agencies has not been enforced

carefully. Of course. certain values
were sacrificed by this, but the author
ana 1he producers were intent upon
having this spy play taken seriously
ana yet there were moments when
laughter came unbidden. In spite Of
an the producers efforts the prepos-
ferrous nature of certain phases of the
plot could not be concealed.
lhls break in carefully fostered
tension came in the second act when
character after character who had been
accepted as a German agent proved TO

TRANSLATED from German affiliations to
English and then back to German

we'll enough, but after the gasp there
was laughter. The guessing contest
was too complicated. After all, pco

their heroes and heroines to stay put.
Three Faces East deals with a duel

Lack of Men Blamed
For Poor Car Service
No Immediate Prospect of
Employing Women to Run
Subway Trains

Inability of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company to obtain sufficient
men to operate trains was blamed yes
terday for service which officials ad-
mitted to be inadequate.
When the new through east and west
lines were finished it was the intention
of the company to establish an ex-
press schedule of fifty-four trains to
the hour. Not more than thirty four
trains an hour were operated on the
old line. The ttty-four train mark
never has been reached. and officers Of
the company and Public Service Com
mlssioners say it will be impossible to
offer proper ansportation facilities
until after the war.
The unfamilarity OF employees with
the new tracks and stations and a lack
OF cars and other equipment were said
to be partially responsible for the
break down of the system. The main
difficulty. however, is the shortage of
train operatives. 1t was said there is
no immediate prospect OF employing
women as guards and motor drivers.

By Haywood Broun

These spy dramas are getting so
complicated that the forward pass or
the ,on-side kick should be introduced
to open up the game. The very least
that ought to be done is to number
the players. Personally we have no
objection to being fooled in the theatre
up to certain point, but when we have
q man all picked out to be hanged it is
little disconcerting to find out that
he is Lloyd George or the head Of the
British Admiralty in disguise.
At "Three Faces East" last night it
wasn't even possible to hiss because,
until the final curtain, there was no
certainty just who was friend and who
was foe. 1t was just as difficult to
applaud. When character predicted d
the speedy downfall of the German
Empire it was even money that he had
his fingers crossed and was thinking
far different thoughts in German back
in the secret rccesses of his spying
head.
The new play at the Cohan and
Harris often gave the impression Of
great skill, and indeed some of its
scenes are exceedingly we'll written,
but for the most part the merit lay
in the staging. The production is
among the most finished we have seen.
1t was so good that it almost brought
out values which the script itself didn't
possess. There was fer instance an
air raid with two characters standing
almost motionless in the centre of the
stage as the bombs roared and the
guns spit All the machinery for some
smashing climax was at hand and then
nothing happened.
Most of the spy plays seen here
abouts have been treated in broadly
melodramatic fashion. Secret agents
have shouted vital facts all the way
across a stage at one another. The
spies Of "Three Faces East" were much
more plausible. They actually seemed
to be intent upon escaping detection.
A true quality of stealthihess was sug-
gested by the performance 1t was
soft footed and we'll modulated
throughout. The effect of subtlety was
heightened by a. purposeful repression
of pace. Things we're done slowly and

girls; most of them "just" girls, but
eighty-tvc of them girls with special

fact that they have been exposed to

sizes get their first taste Of relief from
the swelterng city, but it's going to
be glorious taste served by the peo-

day?
Have you had your vacation yet?
Those are the questions the man on

pauses for moments chat Thoughts
of the heat and vacations are in every
body's mind.
Think of those questions for a mo-
ment as you read this in connection
with The Tribune's little proteges,
Johnny Fresh Air and his sister, Susie.
If 1T was too hot yesterday in your
pleasant home, what must it have been
IN the tenement where Johnny and
Susie live.
If you, we'll fed, we'll cared for. feel
need of relief from the heat of the
city these days, how much greater
must be the longing and The need of
these two little "Fresh Airs,
