According 10 a message received by

way transportation conditions. the re-
duction that we have made in the
consumption OF sugar in the manu-

servation in the past four months en-
able us to increase the household al
Ilowance of sugar from TWO pounds per
person per month to three pounds per

This makes good our promise to
increase the household allowance OF

SUBSTITUTE WOMEN

Careful Survey with This END
in View.

! The task OF assisting in recruiting
men for the motor transport corps OF
! the army. which is now being organized
! along such comprehensive lines as to
call for force approximating 100000
men and for motor transportation of
the value of $780, 100000 in addition
to the value of such transport already
in the service. has been assigned to
! the highways transport committee,
! council of national defense. by Cen
| eral C. B. Drake. chief OF the motor
transport corps.
The carrying out OF this assignment
for one of the great branches of the
war machinery means that the whole
organization of the highways transport
committee, including the regional d.
,, rectors. the committees organized on
it's behalf by the state councils of de-
tense throughout the county, and their
local committees. will be given an in
creased share in the vital task OF win
ming the war.
In order to prevent the disruption
which would follow II tens of thou
sands Of skilled men were taken away
from the great organization engaged
In operating and maintaining the in
dustrial transport service OF the coun-
try. and at the same time to provide an
out for the motor transport corps some
plan to secure substitutes for those
thus taken away.
One way Of meeting this situation
ia by substituting women therefore for
men, which involves recruiting these
women and placing them in training
for service while the men in the in
dustry are being withdrawn for army
purposes.
The problems which would inevitably
develop in carrying out this plan OF
substituting women for men in the
ha ndling of Industrial vehicles over the
highways. would include a determine
tion OF how many men in a given To-
cality are employed on type of We
hicles which might be adapted to
handling by women, and. again the
adaptation of the service of such We
hcles so as to provide a satisfactory
environment for female operatives.
The possible selection and training
of women to take the place Of men In
the handling of various kinds of high
WAYS transportation, and simulta-
neously the selection and training Of
men whose age makes them unavan
able for army service, will be conduct
ed on the basis that these people are
volunteers in much the same sense as
are those who are entering the army.
In satisfactorily handling domestic
transportation problems, which are
necessary to the health and comfort Of
the civilian army in this country as
we'll as an essential link in the trans
| portation system which supplies our
war industries and the army overseas
these volunteers will be doing their
| bit in big way.
