MAKE SURVEY ON
WOMEN employees
Data to be Compiled to Show
What Glasses of Labor are
Available for Feminine.

CLEN ELAND, O., March I'm an
effort to briog thousands Of women
employees 10 the payrolls Of indus
trial establishments. the committee
on industrial relations Of the cham
Der of commerce voted to make .
survey and report on the substitu-
ton of women for man power in in
dustry. The action was heralded by
those interested in the movement rs
recognition of an era in which
work will not be divided according
TO sex but on the standpoint of pro-
duction. Wages Will be gagged Jy
efficiency only.
Not every girl is a good cook,
and there is much waste in the kit
chen because a good craftsman or
mechanic is president, said Miss
Charlotte bold. an assistant sec
rotary Of the chamber of commerce,
who will have charge of the sur
vey. "The committee hopes 20 be
able to assist women unsuited for
work i'm the kitchen or office 70 OBJ
tain employment in industries. The
industrial field has many oppOrtuni-
ties for girls with college educations
and positions as supervisors for
those who have had the necessary
training will be available as the fac
tories open their doors wider TO wo-
men"
The report of the committee will
be available TO all Cleveland mar
ufacturers. There is no one vested
with authority 20 force them to add
women in large numbers TO their
payrolls. but data will be given 20
aid them in substituting woman for
man power, if they wish to do so.
Manufacturers already have suf-
fered from la Dor shortage The man
supply is expected 10 dwindle as the
world conflict continues and Amer
ica's part in it progresses. \ new
source of labor supply is deemed
imperative TO continue production AT

Cleveland employers Of labor by the
committee. The employees will be
asked to list occupations in which

The obligation Of every man.
woman and child out of uniform
20 help feed himself will lie greater
in 1918 than i'm 1917. Therefore
the home gardening and canning
activities of last year must be re-
peated."
This is the message of the Unit
ed States department of agricul-
ture 10 every family. Those who
cannot produce. can conserve and
save food. There must be no back
sliding among experienced garden
ers: they must repeat their contri-
button of food. Absence of novelty
must not deter those who tried gar
dening for the first time in 1917
from capitaIizing their increased
knowledge and skill Those with eX-
perience must help thousands Of
beginners TO make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from
their work with hoe, rake and wa
tering can. There must he no slack
ing off. Gardening is everybody's
business. but in 1918 everyone must
attend to that business.
And now a word Of caution
Don't plant more than you can cul-
tivate: don't try to raise more
than YOU can use And water sys-
tematically all spring and summer.
A few square yards well titled will
yield more than half acre allow
ed to run 10 weeds
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners
to produce truck crops for sale
Such enterprises commonly prove
unwise burdensome to all concern
ed. and not infrequently financial
~ Improbable. Much precious seed
and fertilizer-to say nothing Of
time and labor-were wasted last
year in such undertakings. The gov

Most owners OF small gardens are
content TO raise a single crop on
each plot of land at their disposal,
but il is quite possible to grow two
or three crops of some vegetables
i'm one season.
Frost is less likely to injure
vegetables planted on high ground
than those planted in low places

cold air commonly settles.
