Memphis sporting goods dealers are
making preparations for a big holiday
rush this year. and regardless Of the
war situation, they are well stocked
up with everything that would appeal
to the sportsman or sportswoman.
Christmas gifts Of sporting goods are
always acceptable n each Christmas
finds many packages Of golf balls. goT
clubs, football equipment, guns, rifles,
hockey sticks and all sorts of sporting
paraphernalia which appeals to the
masculine and feminine fancy.
That another big holiday business will
be done this year is the belief Of local
dealers in sporting supplies, and those
who have been educated IN the habit
OF giving sporting goods for Christmas
VIII have many recruits added to their
ranks by the time the holiday season
arrives this year. Memphis abounds
with sportsmen and spOrtswomen, and
the wid range of gifts available In a
sporting goods store affords the Christ
mas shopper a big selection of appro-
pirate presents.
Shotguns, rifles, golf clubs and balls,
ETC., are Of special appeal to the male
contingent, and many fair shoppers, in
looking around for a suitable present
for the head of the house, for brother
or gentleman friend,i will have to look
no further than the modern sporting
goods store, which will be ready to
make suggestions TO the shopper by
way Of what would be acceptable from
the masculine point of view. There Is
abundant good shooting around Mem
phiS, which brings out the idea that a
gun would be most acceptable AS golf
is extensively played, a set Of clubs
or a dozen balls would make ar ideal
wifi.

UNLIMITED, SAYS
us. WAR EXPERT
Regular Jobs at Regular Pay
Are Open to Fair Sex
Whether They Have Ever
Done Manual Work Or Not,

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. 5.-The
best way for many women to show
their patriotism is to train for service.
Efficiency was neV a more highly
priced asset than 1t is today. The gov
eminent is helping women to find the
work they are best fitted to do, and
suggesting how they can best train to
fill places of men called to the colors.
The time has now come when many
women must drop their knitting needles
for a field OF greater service, cease vol
unteer work. and take a regular Job for
regular pay" says c. T. Clayton. d.
rector Of the training and dilution SER
vice Of the U. S. department Of labor.
The fact that women may not be IN
with the case, The United states gov
eminent needs their service for produc-
ton, and the government Is very par
tiCular about women being paid the
same wage as men for services equally
rendered.
THE patriotic thing is for woman to
do the work her training has fitted her
to do, provided it has been along the
lines Of an essential vocation. School
teachers should stick to their calling,
no matter II munitions offer a higher
reward. The youth Of America must
not be neglected.
For the unframed woman. who has
never worked In her life, industry prob
ably Offers a more profitable field than
any other line of endeavor. Many fac
tories are organizing training schools
in their plants. Two hundred factories.
according to the training and dilution
service, are spending or preparing to
spend millions solely In the work OF in
tensive training of new workers. Seven
hundred and fifty thousand new skilled
workers are needed by the country by
Jan. /.

Here Is an example: A girl from a
country village far removed from any
war producing industry came to the L.
s.. employment office and asked for a
job. She explained that she had two
brothers. In the service, had never
worked in her life; but she wanted to
get into industry, and was willing to
take any kind of n job in a war-pro-
ducing plant, She was placed in a
munition plant near Newark, and given
a job at IS a week. In six weeks she
had been promoted three times and
was earning $22 a week. The fact that
she had had her salary almost tripled
in an incredibly short length of time
she. was inexpressibly happy to feel
that she was successful In doing her
part and making good on the job as
signed to her. That must be the spirit
Of the American woman In industry-to
stick to the job and train herself to
work as faithfully and well as any
IN.
In order that the work OF women
may give the greatest economic value
to the community. every ~precaution is
taken not to fit square pegs into round
holes. For this reason women who APP
ply to the u. S. employment offices
are asked to give full information rela-
tive to their various qualifications,
especially regarding their school, col
lege. or technical training.

In addition to the facilities for rain

that register nurses, and graduate
nurses from these institutions are ell
gible to enter the army hospitals with
the same standing as graduates of the
committee on nursing of the Council of
National Defense. They are also ELI
