REPORTED SCARCE

Because OF the Increasing demands
for women workers In munitlon plants
TO replace men called TO war, domestic
help in this city Is almost umobtaln-
able. Only short time ago there were
many colOred women In this city whose
only means OF support was the en-
ployment obtained In the kitchen. To-
day many 0f these same women are
earning from SIS 10 500 week and
working only eight hours a day, and
have been most effectively spoiled for
return TO Kitchen work.
This dearlh Of kitchen workers has
OF necessity unloaded all Of the work
on the housewife and many frail
women In this city today is doing
work that she little dreamed OF doing
