WASHINGTON, December S.-Onc of

ing number OF women in industry, is
how to safeguard the mothers OF small
children so that the family shall not
suffer from the wage-carninG employ

keeper from her usual duties Ever
since its establishment the Childron's
Bureau has taken cognizance OF this
most important question touching wo-
men in industry, now most urgent ow :
