Conserving the Nerves and
Strength of the Worker

Everything that is possible is done to add
to the comfort of the women employees A staff
OF welfare workers under the supervision of a
delightful motherly woman is on duty in the
rest room, where the girls spend the few min
utes that are left Of their lunch hour after
they come from the cafeteria. 1t is a lovely,
homeike place, with bright chintz hangings
and flowers, comfortable easy chairs and
couches, and piano which is seldom silent
during the noon hours. A staff of two doctors
and five nurses are always within call in case
of Illness
In one corner of the rest room is table
piled high with Skeins of wool and finished
knitted garments, presided over by a woman
who is an expert knitter and who is here to
teach those who are ignorant of such matters
the proper manner of turning the heel of a
Sock or OF starting the sleeve of sweater.
From the wall above the table the nhoto-
graph of a handsome young fellow in the mi
form of the flying corps smiles down on the
little mother who is turning her talents to
such good account A collection is taken nm
periodically to buy wool for the girls who are
willing to devote their few spare minutes at
noon to knitting for the men in the service.
OlteH entertainments OF recltations and
songs are given the girls in the rest room dur
ing the noon hour, and sometimes famous
speaker will lecture to them for ten or fifteen
minutes on subjects of interest.
All IN all, it seems to me that there are lots
OF worse fates than being worker in the gas
defence plant Granted that the work is con-
flhlng and that it keeps one on the "qui vive"
every minute the compensations must surely
more than counterbalance any hardships. for
not only must one feel the satisfaction that
comes from the knowledge of any sort of work
Well done, but the added exhilaration of know

Almost a Military Matter

It is quite unlike any factory that you have
eve. seen-this gas defence plant. There isn't
an atom of the usual factory atmosphere about
IT, You feel the difference the moment that
you enter the outer door and the further
you penetrate into its various departments
that is, providing you are fortunate enough to
be allowed beyond the waiting room at the en-

TACT that this is no ordinary manufacturing
concern.

too keep sharp lookout for imperfections
After the mask is entirely completed it is
taken to one of a row of little dark Closets
which look exactly like photographers dark
room, for final inspection. This is performed
under powerful electric light by women who
have been chosen for this purpose because of
their exceptionally good eyesight.
The Lion and the Mouse?
With all this care there doesn't seem to be
chance in million that an imperfect gas mask
could be shipped from that factory. Never
theess, the conscientious woman worker is
often haunted by the possibility that she may
have overlooked some slight flaw that will
mean disaster to the soldier.
II sometimes wake in the middle of the
night in cold perspiration," one of the fore
women confided in me, "for fear that l have
passed a mask with flaw in it. 1t is terri
bic responsibility but the satisfaction that
comes from the knowledge that one is really
doing something tangible and important to
help the men at the front more than makes
up for the worry.
II know of other work that seems to me
50 vital as this" she went on. "The girls in
tie munition works say that they feel that
every bullet that they make is going to kill
German, and that spurs them on to greater
effort; but it seems to me that to be able to
lake a mask that actually saves the life of
one Of our own boys is far more satisfying.
That is the way that most of our workers feel
about it, and that is what makes the spirit of
this plant so glorious.''
And the spirit is glorious, there can be no
question about that. The officials have no
fear of strikes or labor troubles of any kind
There is no need to goad the employees up to
greater effort. Every soul in the plant is
working to the best of her ability not only to
earn the very liberal wage which the govern
ment pays her, but to do her patriotic duty in
helping to win the war
The hours are from in the morning until
$3.50 in the afternoon, with three quarters of

From rs to 5000 Workers
Is Six Months Growth

When the plant was started last January
there were only twenty-five workers. and the
rumber has increased until to-day there are
more than 5000. A few of the original work
spent short time in gas mask factory
in Philadelphia, and these acted as instructors
for others; but outside of these all of the
others employed in the plant began as un-
skilled workers.
In fact, SO far the women are concerned
fully 20 per cent had never worked in any line
before. They were women of leisure who
'enlisted" from patriotic reasons. Some lovely
whte-haired women, are the mothers of boys
at the front; some are the war-brides of SOL
dlers or sailors anxious to do something to
hasten their return. But the great rank and
file are women who have always been self
supporting. There are writer's and artists
ard photographers, interior decorators and
school teachers and trained nurses, and there
arc stenogra piers and bookkeepers and women
who have held responsible positions in depart
rent stores and other mercantile concerns.
And they are all working together in peace
and harmony with the one idea uppermost in
their minds to make every gas mask perfect.
It's the Spirit That Counts
And they all, without exception, love the
work. One young woman with whom l talked
had been in charge of dozen or more girls in
d large office in Wall Street. where she earned
twice the salary which she is receiving for
her services at the gas defence plant.
II dread the time when shall be obliged to
go back into commercial life" she told me-
This work is so interesting, and the women
are so splendid. And there is always some

w THAT kinds of coffee should offer

Clubs? The longer conferred on
the subject the further off we were from de-
csion. Individual taste played large part,
we discovered the same coffee could change or
lose its characteristics in a most chameleon
like way when differently roasted, when pre-
pared in different ways, whether freshly
roasted and ground not, etc. Your favorite
coffee became unrecognizable if too lightly
roasted, if boiled instead of filtered or if al
lowed to stand, especially in paper container,
after grinding. And then 40 cent coffee had
to taste better than 27 cent brew-memory

Those who preferred the Santos did so be-
