ANTI-LOAFING LAW
EFFECT OBSERVED
Impetus Given to Employment Agencies
in Massachusetts, by Rea-
son of 1t.

BOSTON, July 20-The Massachusetts
anti-loafing law, which went into effect
on Friday, and the federal work or fight
order, are responsible for a big impetus
to the business of the free employment
agencies conducted by the United States
government in this city. As fast as pos
sible, the applicants are distributed to
the stores and factories which have APP
piled for help. After Aug. l, when the
Presidents ruling that all labor recruit
ing must be done through government
agencies goes into effect, it is expected
offices are being opened throughout the
state to take care of the situation.
The Massachusetts, anti loafing law
provides that all men in the state, between
the ages of IS and 50, shall be required
full occupation, and obviously compels
many men to seek new employment
In the cases of two men detained by
the police of Boston on the charge of vi
olating this law, the requirement of work
ing SO hours a week was taken into con
sideration by the court, and warrants
for the arrest of the men were refused
on Monday it being thought that it could

| This view was not held by the court in

for trial on July % two men who had
been arrested under the provisions of the
| new law.
In connection with its efforts to proper
| ly distribute the available supply of male
labor. the federal free employment serv
ice is devoting more and more attention
to the placing of women workers in in
dustry, phase of the industrial problem
which employers in the United States
have been comparatively slow to- develop
1t is said that one of the troubles of the
employment service is to place the womer

BURLINGTON, July 2O.-United States
soldiers and the police forces of Burling

assisted officials of the department of jus
tice in search for draft slackers in this
city and Winooski, and as result, six
men are in jail tonight because they
could not produce evidence that they had

None of these men really live in this city
or Winooski but they are part of the

NEED A|RPLANES
TO FIGHT BOCHES
Demand for Machines and
for Trained Flyers is
Urgent
ALLIES MUST BE
MASTERS OF AIR
British High Command Not Yet Salts
fed With Showing Made by Flyers in
Spite of Reluctant Tribute Paid Them
by German Newspapers.

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June Is, Associated Press Cor
respondence.-The uses Of the airplane as
an auxiliary to infantry in action are be-
ing continually extended. 1t is the opin-
ion of military leaders here that the need
for more and more machines and trained
men is shown by the success of the low
flying airplanes in operating against the
Germans during the past two months.
On the western front, this spring two
factors-German recklessness of life and
the success of the allies in holding back
the German airmen-gave the opportuni-
ty of developing on large scale this
method of harassing attack.
The success of the low-hying airplanes
is of two kinds,-the slaughter they infiet,
and secondly, the disorganization they
cause. This second factor is of more i'm
portance than most people realize. An UNI
expected check to troops on the march is
always troublesome. Men wonder what
has happened. Suddenly bombs begin to
| fall, men are killed, horses stampede, wag-
ons are smashed and the road blocked
Until the allied airplanes are seen, the
error is mysterious. When they are seen,
with the irresistible implication that the
German planes have failed to drive them
off, the psychological effect is very severe.
| The work of the British airmen received
a reluctant tribute in a recent issue of the
Berlin Vorwaerts, which was captured in
raid on the German trenches The Ger
man newspaper, in an article full of APP
parently sincere admiration for British
flyers, said: "Never before have the Eng
lish thrown their airmen in such great
masses behind our front as they are doing
in their present retreat"
But the higher command of the British
air force is by no means satisfied. A high
official pointed out to The Associated
Press correspondent in discussing this
phase of arwar, that never before was
the need of the air force for trained mer
and finished material so urgent as it is to
day" He added: 1T has been said loosely
that the allies are masters of the air anc
have achieved supremacy III flying But
the aerial situation is too fluid to justify
such words As a cold fact, complete mas
terry OF the air could only come if there
were no German machines able to TAX,
the air
Superiority is another matter, and i
is true that at the moment this may bt
claimed by the allies For example, thu
British record of bombs dropped in Apr
shows y to one against the Germans. Tn,
present superiority can be maintained
and must be maintained not only on gen
eral grounds but particularly for the de
velOpment of the new tactics of the low
flying airplane.
'What is needed is more machines AM
more trained men, and it is the people
the men and women of the allied coun
tries, who in the last analysis must Civ
or withhold effective superiority in tn
air"
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-07-20

OF course, in this day of efficiency,
it would be ridiculous for the women
to wear customcs that are suitable only
for hours of recreation. Ruffles and
furbelows are out of place in the kitch-
en-, and so the working dress has
come into very prominent place in
the wardrobe of the woman who is do
ing things.
Our time is all planned out, so much
for the Red Cross, so much for the Can
teen, so much for the Canning Kitchen
and, of course, so much for our own
homes and the duties that we must per-
form there Our wardrobes, too, are
carefully planned. We have our Red
Cross Apron and Cap, our Canteen
Apron and Cap (for the cap plays as
important part as the apron these days.
and the apron and cap that we wear
in the canning KITCHEN. Then, there
are uniforms for women who are doing
| their bit in the munition plants, trim
and without any unnecessary fulness
whatsoever. There are service uni.
forms for women who are driving am,
balances or motors for the transport
| ing of troops Each is different, and
each is in itself an indication of the
| times
When we work in our gardens (and
of course we all have gardens this
year,, we wear a smoek, perhaps, with
La very short skirt and a wide
brimmed sunhat. Perhaps, however, We
prefer bloomers as being less trouble
some than short skirt. 1t is all 9
matter of personal taste, and which
we feel the most comfortable in

suit for women, which has been adopt

opportunities for women workers than
there were few months ago. The biggest
demands, it is said by the government
agents. are for inspectors of shells in mu-
milton plants, and for stitchers on uni
forms, gun cases, and other army equip
ment.
The employment of women in war in
dustries has gone far enough in the Unit
ed States, according to the government
agents, to show that they give satisfac-
ton. The superintendent OF the service
in Massachusetts, Edward Z. MeGrady,
has said that they take less time off from
their work than men. He describes them
as 'hard-worlzing and conscientious" Fur,
Their, he says: 4They are not inclined to
drift from job to job. If they have good
place and fair wages they generally stay

also are carefully thought out. Cling
ham and calico have been elevated to
the position of honor this summer. but
still hold their places for morning dress
es.
In our army there is a great deal of
time devoted to the care of the feet.
Every day there is foot inspection
just as there is an inspection of arms,
uniforms, etc, and also of health The
women of America are now also realiz-
ing how important it is to have shoes
that are comfortable and sensible. 1t
Is absurd to see high French heels
with q service uniform, and we all
know it. Low heels are the style for
daytime wear. Of course, we all still
wear high heels in the evening or for
dress occasions, but not when we ex-
pect to do any amount of walking or
standing on our feet.
This Is a very good model for the
Canteen Apron and Cap. The pocket
holds pad and pencil for emergencies.
The cuff is adjustable.
