WOMEN AND WAR WORK.

Thirty-six per cent of the employees
CT the government OF Great Britain,
outside the munition factories, in
January, 1918, were women, accord
ing to an announcement by the de-
partment of labor. 1t is estimated
that in all lines of work 1,442,O00 wo-
men have stepped in to fill the de-
pleted ranks of industry, and nearly
thu ee-quarters of this number work
fer the government.
Each new cali for men for the army
in the United States brings forth re-
newed interest in the question of wo-
mans suitability to fill the places left
vacant in the workshop. Each inves-
tigation OF the subject so far has led
to the same conc1usion--that woman
Is quite capable of stepping in and
filling up the empty benches. The
national industrial conference board
recently investigated the matter of
woman's efficiency in the metal trades
and its report is decidedly favorable.
Women not only can, but are, enter
ing the shops. They are doing work
previously done by men and in many
cases are doing it better than it was
dore prior to their advent into the
field. Some work is still beyond them
a. they lack the preliminary training
re ;essary to its accomplishment.
Wheth IT not women can be made
into skilled mechanics is yet to be dis
covered, but reL~cts fror England
would seem to indicate That employers
IL ere think them capable of handling
the more difficult work.
So far it has not been hard to find
women to go into the shops. They
have willingly left other v ork to en-
ter the new field. Reasons for the
eagerness to change are easy to find.
H her wages attract them from some
occupations and the definiteness OF
the hours lures them from others Up
to the present, most of the women en-
tering the factories and shops are wo-
men who have worked at other occu-
pations at various times. If the war
continue for any length of time, how
ever. recruits must be found amons
| those who have hitherto stayed in the
home. With the regular wage earn
ers gone to war, there is small doubt
that many of these will be eager to
| obtain such work

BILL IS DELAYED
But the Manpower Law Should
Pass Today.
Provides for AllOtting Home
steads to Boys.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Unexpected
obstacles developed today in the path
thru congress of the manpower bill,
extending the army draft to men of 8
to As, but leaders proceeded in full
confidence of having the measure in
President Wilson's hands before night.
Criticism of the conference draft,
adopted yesterday in the house, began
in the senate almost Immediately after
the bill was received. Necessity for
legislation to supplement the bills
provision for allotting homesteads to
men under 81 and criticisms from Re-
publicans of a published article re-
garding the war departments educa-
tional program, furnished subject for
debate.N Several senator's denounced
the alleged plan as socialistic tho
Chairman Chamberlain, Senator Wads-
worth and others were of the opinion
that the bills provision for special and
technical, training for drafted youths
would be used merely to enlarge the
present training educational system.
To avoid re-committing the bill. ar
rangements were made for simulta-
neous enactment in the senate and
house of a special resolution meeting
interior department objections to the
homestead provision. The resolution
would provide that lands of homestead
rights so granted cannot be sold or
transferred until after residence upon
the homesteads. This is designed to
prevent speculation in soldiers home
stead rights.

PICKING ON THE MOTOR CAR.

It appears to be a part of the plans
of the trainers of the new revenue
bill to tax automobiles, not. however.
ed valorem, but on their original cost.
This has brought forth a protest from
the New York Times which says:
IF Mr.. Kitchin bitches up to his
hay wagon in Scotland Neck a super
animated plug that, in its most high
and palmy days was SIS, 900 blooded
steed of race, would he expect to find
it assessed at the original price in his
tax bin?"
And. speaking of horses, why are
not horses, mules, all beasts of
draught and burden. all vehicles of
whatever sort, taxed as well as au-
tomobues? If motor trucks are to be
taxed, why should horse trucks and
drays and wagons escape? If motor
cycles pay, why shouldn't bicycles
pay? II motor cars are to be as
sessed. why should buggies, spring
boards. carryalls, phaetons. gigs,
chaises and the whole tribe of wheel
carts and conveyances not be as
sessed?
1S SOlIle survival IN Ln6 l0S1S-
lstive mind of the theory, long ago ex-
ploded, that there is something lux
urious. purple and plutocratic about
the automobile? In the general dis
tribution of its use between luxury
and necessity, business and pleasure
it is substantially the same as the
horse vehicle. At present the four
legged horse is probably more ex-
pensive than his gasoline brother.
Multitudes of citizens in all parts of
the country are rafting about in cheap
cars upon their lawful occasions who
could not afford to keep a horse.
The proper taxation of convey
ances is not matter for nice consid-
eratfons Of luxury or necessity. It is
matter of revenue and a matter of
justice. 1t is obviously unfair, and it
is throwing away 8 lot of revenue, to
tax some instead of all vehicles.

ambulance driver works in connection
with the canteen committee of her
local chapter, answering all ambu-
lance calls from troop trains. In the
transportation of thousands of troops
back and forth, from one point to
another, a certain amount of illness
occurs on the train, and the govern
ment relies upon the Red Cross to
help it out in this emergency Extern
sive ambulance corps are also now
maintained at the ports receiyinr
wounded men from France
When man is taken i'll on troop
train a telegram is sent ahead to the
chairman of the canteen committee of
the Red Cross in the next town by the
troop train commander, and when the
tralh arrives an ambulance is watt
ing. The efficiency with which this
ambulance aid is provided is illustrated
by an incident which recently occurred
IN the south A sick soldier was on
MS way from camp to his home town,
accompanied by his mother and a
trained nurse They were compelled
to change trains at a point hallway
between the two cities. The train was
due at this point at o'clock, but a
wreck which occurred on the train
ahead delayed the boys train by sew
eral hours. All hope of making a
connection with a train for his home
town had to be abandoned, and his
mother was worried, not knowing
what she was going to do with her
son in strange city. Imagine her
relief, therefore, when upon reaching
the station she found a Red Cross am
bulance awaiting them, manned by a
woman chauffeur and a resident doc
tor. The next morning the boy was
taken on to his home under a Red
Cross escort.
Such incidents are frequent occur
rences in the lives of Red Cross motor
corps drivers turnout the country.
Most of them are well prepared for
duty abroad. But their departure will
greatly reduce the ranks of the home
organizations; for months to come
there will be an acute need for women
chauffeurs in the local chapters of the
Red Cross.
