Sewing on Buttons

To make buttons stay in place on the
boys garments, cut the leather tabs
from old shoes and from these cut circu-
lar pieces about the size of ten-cent
piece When button is required on
any garment subject to great strain,
place one of the pads on the inner side
of the garment where the button Is to
be sewed on. Tack it securely around.
Sew on the button in the usual way, al
ways remembering to put a knot on
your thread between the button and the
cloth; also to put good winding thread
around the neck of the button, as this Is
a source of strength. Buttons sewn on
in this manner will never drag hole in
',the material.

before the burden Of life work falls
upon them"
Aslied if the problems OF equal wage
and equal opportunity for women. which
nearly caused industrial war in England
and France during the first influx OF
women into industry. had been noted in
her work. Mrs Robillard took the visitor
into the grinding room.
at is here that we find the problem OF
equal wages" said Mrs. Robillard. These
women are doing mighty fine work here.
They are learning fast, but II does not
stand to reason that they can be as apt
or know as much as the men beside
them. who have had four years appren-
tice work at the trade. The girls get a
considerably higher rate of wages than
the men got when they started. but not
equal to what the men are getting now.
Where women do equal work with equal
skill and knowledge they receive equal
pay.
Perhaps the hardest thing to instil
in the women is the necessity to obey
absolutely and to the minute the instruc-
tons given them. When this is finally
impressed upon them they take the word
of the foreman for law. And 1t is here
that we find conditions varying from
those existing in England when the
women first went into the munitions fac
tories. Here the men show nc
jealousy there is no effort to keep the
women down: in fact. there is an i'm
pulse on the part of the men to reach

EDITORIAL FOR WOMEN
BY A WOMAN
By FOLITA VAN RENSSELAER,

Vice Chairman Of tho National League for
Woman's Service
The National League for Woman's
Service has fer its purpose the develop
mcnt, through service, of the volunteer
woman-power of the country into an
efficient asset in the humane treasury of
the Government. It believes that the
so-called woman of leisure is now re-
sponsible to the nation in proportion to
the opportunities her environment has
given her that she must serve with her
brain. with her money. with her time
TO the limit of her capacity. Her part
in meeting the social and economic prob.
lens which confront us now, and which
VIII increase, Is no easy one. 1t means
the sacrifice of much that has meant
the daily life of years
The program which the league offers
covers such broad range that every
woman may fit her special talent or de-
sire into the niche which she is best
qualified to fill One of the most vital
and absorbing of the leagues activities
Is the social and home club work, car
ried on under cooperation with the COM
mission on war training camp activities.
The league has these clubs in fifteen diff
ferent States, many States and commu-
has three, for instance.
In the club in San Francisco 5000
men were entertained in one day. The
Columbia Is. c. average is 1000 men
day. The tremendous opportunity
given to the women running these clubs
is being met everywhere with deep
realization of the very real responsibility
such an opportunity entails. The whole
of a mans life may be turned by the
right word said at the right time by the
| right sort of woman.
! A letter was recently received from
one of our men from Somewhere in
France" He had come from the league
club in San Francisco to the league
club in New York, and writes from
overseas He says that words cannot
express what the Y. NJ. C. A. was doins
for the men over there but he wished
that the league might be set down IL

manufacturers have been quick to take
advantage of the scarcity of wool and

Women as Carpenters;
That Day Is Coming Soon

So far, there are not many women
carpenters in America. but there are
some. With the new conditions we are
facing there are likely TO be more.
In England hundreds and hundreds of
young women have volunteered to do
carpenter work at the front. They are
employed in putting up army huts.
These huts are set up out of machine
made parts, but there has to be thor
ough knowledge of carpentering used in
putting them up. The girls who do the
work get six weeks of instruction in
England under boss carpenter. Once
at the front, each girl devotes herself
10 particular part of the work, whether
1t be planning. joining, making cleats or
hammering together the parts. The work
goes thus from one to the other with
the least loss of time and efficiency.

MEAN BUSINESS THIS TIME

r HERE have been so many cries of wolf
wof!' in connection with railroads. coal mine
developments and other industrial matters of large
magnitude that the people of Cedar City may be
forgiven for looking with distrust and more or
less Indifference upon projects Of this kind, headed
by outside interests and we have about reached
q point where, like the man from Missouri we
Twill have to be shown"
However, we are certain sooner or later to be
surprised CD by something real, live and tangible
in the way of the development of our vast empire
Of natural resources with which we have been ac
customed for so long that we have become cal
loused in our sensibilties and fail to realize what
these great deposits of commercial treasure are
bound to mean to us at some time. And while we
have been the victims of circumstances and Of
the averice of mighty corporations for fifty years,
who were interested in the holding back of this
section in order to profit by the longer haul of
iron and coal commodities, the signs of the times,
the commercial situation in the world today, and
the enormous increase in the consumption Of these
commodities point to the fact that something is
going to happen in the matter Of the development
of our unmatched natural resources in the imme-
date future; and we vertically believe that this
great era, for which we have waited and longed
so many years is now commencing.
The inviting of bids for the furnishing of a
million feet of timber for the construction of the
supports of a large aerial tram to the Green coal
mine on the face of the mountain, seems to indi-
cate that the men behind this project mean bust
ness, and on top of this we have the assurances
of the officers of the company that they have ample
capital promised and that the work of opening and
equipping the property is going ahead just as fast
as weather conditions will permit. If this work
goes forward on scale proportionate to it's i'm
portance and possibilities, it will prove the open
ing wedge for number of other important de-
VelopmentS and activities here. and will mean a
complete revolution of local conditions and Cedar
City in particular and Iron county in general, will
take great leap upward and forward in COM
mercial sense.
Population doubled in two years, long string
of coke ovens in this valley, railroad connec-
ton with the outside world, iron furnaces within
a very short time are of the important de-
velopments predicted by Mr.. F. W. Webb, presi-
dent of the new company for the very near future.
