Women will be breaking into new
jobs when the new draft regulation
work or fight" goes into effect. Girl
bellhops will answer the call of
front in the hotels, and elevator
girls will succeed the boys in the ho-
tells and business buildings. The
stately walters in the dining cars and
safes will disappear to be succeeded
by pretty mattresses, who will con-
tinue to collect the tips and subdue
the patrons as their successors have
done.
There may even be women base
ball players. England had to have it's
football in spite of the war, so the
women organized teams and PLAYED
good game. In America bloomer
teams may carry off the penants this
year in the worlds series. if the pro-
vost marshal general carries out his
threat Of including the professional
baseball players in the list of men
who will have to go to work.
Hotels Hit Hardest Here.
In Richmond the hotels are prob
ably the most greatly effected by the
ruling made by Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder. Walters, bellboys and
elevator men of draft age are to come
within the ruling. and both leading
hotels have a number of class one
men in their employee.
The management of both hotels,
though, say that the problem in re-
placing labor will not be whether or
not the woman will be able to do the
work, but where women are to be OBJ
tanned to do it.
Practically every woman in Rich
mOnd who wishes to work is employ
ed, many of them doing mems work
in the factories, and receiving mems
wages. The difficulty lies in obtain
ing desirable women in the city to
fill the positions left vacant by the
men, and it may be necessary to make
special inducements for girls from
the villages and country to come in
to the city and do the work.
The Westcott hotel has already
stepped aside from its usual custom
and has employed two women for
desk work in the Office. They are the
| first two women to fill the position in
that hotel. Miss Cecil Kendrick and
| Miss Este!le Dare are the new clerks,
and although they have never done
that kind of work before, and would
probobly not have done it had it not
been for the war emergency, they are
| enthusiastic about the work, and the
! possibilities for women in hotel posi-
| tons
Women can do anything in a no.
! tel that is needed to be DONE" say
| the people who have experimental,
there will be no difficulty in the new
draft ruling for the hotels, as far as
| maintaining a standard of efficiency
| is concerned

FARMERS URGED TO

infertile eggs. A fertile egg will start
to germinate-it does not have to be

embryo chick will begin to form with

warm morning, will continue during
the even warmer afternoon. and will
die when the temperature drops dur
ing the night, leaving ring Of blood
formed within an innocent looking
egg. Result: A bad egg. Cause: Mr..

munications on the subject should be
addressed to Miss Meb Culbertson,

In accordance with instructions re-
ceived from the Woman's Committee
Of the National Council of Defense,
the women who have acted as chair
men of the registration committee in
the different counties of the state will
continue in that capacity and will
have charge of the cards, and are eX-
pected to have a classified list of the
services that women are willing to
render to their government, so that
when industries wish to use the rec
ords on the cards in securing en-
ployes, or when any emergency arises
where we want to call out the women
of a county for loyal purposes. this
whole matter will rest in the hands
of the woman who had charge of the
registration, so that no delays may
ever occur in getting some practical
use of these cards.
Milk is one of the most important
food sources the human race possess
es. For the proper nourishment of
the child it is absolutely indispens-
able and its use should be kept up
in the diet as long as possible. Not
only does it contain all the essential
food elements in the most available
form for ready digestion, but the re-
cent scientific discoveries show it to
be especially rich in certain peculiar
properties that alone render growth
possible. This essential quality makes
il also of special value in the sick
room. In hospitals it has also been
shown that the wounded recover
more rapidly when they have milk.

NOT SUBJECT TO REFERENDUM
Action of Ohio Legislature on Ma

Action of Ohio Legislature on Ma
tionaI Prohibition is Final.
Columbus, Ohio.-The impression is
given out by the liquor press of Ohio
that if the state legislature ratifies
the National Prohibition amendment,
it's action will be made the subject of
a statewide referendum and that
should the legislature ratify the
amendment and a statewide vote
should oppose Prohibition, the action
of the legislature would be void. This
claim is made on the theory that any
action of the Ohio legislature may be
made the subject of the referendum.
1t is apparent this position is wrong.
The Constitution of Ohio cannot in
fringe on the Constitution of the
United States, and the Federal Con-
stitution expressly says that Amend
ments to this Constitution I"
shall be valid to all intents and pur-
poses as part Of this Constitution
when ratified by the legislatures Of
three-fOurths of the several states"
Hon. w. B. Wheeler, General Coun-
sci for the Anti-Saloon League Of
America, quoted the above from the
Constitution Of the United States, and
asserts that any action taken through
a referendum after the legislature has
ratified the amendment would be void.
