to take up regular work at regular
pay.
The best way for many women to
show their patriotism is to train for
service. Efficiency was never a more
hishly priced asset than it is today.
The Government 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 come now when
many women must drop their knitting
needles for a field of greater service,
cease volunteer work, and take
regular job for regular pay" says c.
T. Clayton, Director of the Training
and Dilution Service of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor. "The fact that
women may not be in need of the
money has nothing to do with the
case. The United States Govern
ment needs their service for produc-
tion, and the Government is very
particular about women being paid
the same wage as men for services
equally rendered.
THE patriotic thing is for women
10 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 if 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 PRO
badly offers more profitable field
| than any other line of endeavor Many
factories are organizing training
! schools in their plants. Two hundred
factories, according to the Trainins
aud Dilution Service, are spending OF
preparing to spend millions solely IL
the work of intensive training O.
new workers. 100000 new skilled
workers are needed by the country
by January first
The woman with nimble fingers
who is not afraid of grease, and whC
is willing to cast aside for eigh
hours day her fluffy ruffles for over
alls, her plumed bonnet for a service
cap, and to concentrate on the tasl
at hand is sure of quick and certain
reward.
Here is an example: A girl from
a country village far removed from
any war-producing industry came tt
the U. S. Employment Office anc
asked for a job. She explained tina
she had two brothers in the service
had never worked in her life; bu
she wanted to get into industry, ant
was willing to take any kind o. jol
in a war-producing plant. She wa
placed in munition plant near New
ark, and given a job at So a week
In six weeks she hal been promotes
three times and was earning $22
week The fact that she had had he
salary almost triped in an incredibl
short length Of time meant nothin
to this young girl; but she was ineS
pressiblv happy to feel that she wa
successful in doing her part an
making good on the job assigned t.
her. That must be the spirit of tn
American women in industry
stick to the job and train herself t.
work as faithfully and well as an,
man."
