Courses In New York City Prepare

voices, documents, insurance, mail or

DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained Home Maker Is to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand
ard Minimum Wage.

Courses for training home assist
ants, who will go into the home by the
day, hour or week and work on q
schedule of hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as a
means for meeting the problem Of do
nestle service.
The object of this course, now being
tried out in New York City, is to place
domestic service on the same dignified
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours day for salary of SIS week.
She will not live in the home of her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can go to restaurant or eat a
lunch which she has brought with her
just as she would were she employed
in a factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
Brown, as the case may be.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and regfstrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same Independence as to recreation
hours, places of eating and living as
the factory girl, house-work has a
greater appeal, as being less monoto-
nous and more interesting work to the
average woman.
The course is a thorough one in plain
cooking, waiting on table and door,
chamber work, plain sewing, care OF
children, making of menus and the
washing and ironing of light things.
Heavy work is to be done by outside
workers. On graduation the student
receives certificate which proves her
qualification as a dependable home
worker capable of attending to all ordi-
nary duties in a home.
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation has been interested in the prob
lem of domestic service both from the
of the employee and from
that of the employer for some years.
The first commission on Household
MADE its report at the
fifth national convention Of the Young
Women's Christian Association held In
Los Angeles, CAL, in May, 1915.
The difficulties of attracting capable
In this field of work were laid
to the long hours, lack of independence
In arranging recreation hours. lack of
for growth and progress
and lack of social standing.
Girls have acquired distaste for
the conditions which govern household
work since the freedom they have e0-
perienced in working In munition fac
-ories. BY standardizfng domestic serv-
Zee it is believed by the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association that
higher type of worker may be at
racted to the necessary work in homes.

Changed Conditions.
"The condition of the world in
which we live and of our country have
been wonderfully changed by this war
Formerly, whenever we wanted to
finance a great development project
in America we went to Europe for the
funds At the beginning of the war
Europe owned six billion dollars worth
of our securities. Today these have
been paid up and we hold practically
eight billion dollars worth of Europe's
promises to pay Think of what that
means 1t means that when we need
money for our Governmental projects
or industrial development we cannot
go to France or England for it. We
must get it in America. In order that
these necessary sums of money may
be available, we of America must Gre
ate new wealth, must eliminate waste,
must save-not a few individuals but
the great mass of our people must
save and thus amass the dollars that
viii make possible our development
and prosperity.
The Governments Program
with these facts in mind. the Gov
eminent has decided to carry on
widespread and intensive educational
campaign of Thrift and Americaniza-
ton.
THE War Savings Campaign Of
1919 is the FIRST step in this program.
The Treasury expects to realize this
year from the sale of War Savings
Stamps a sufficient sum to materially
assist in financing the war budget bel
fore the end of the year.

1919 campaign to establish Thrift ~

POLE PRISONERS
 OF WAR ANXIOUS TO RETURN HOME

Warsaw, Sept. 5, via Paris, Oct. 22.-Po1es who have just completed a pilgrimage of many months from the heart of Siberia to the newly-re- deemed city of Minsk, have brought to American Red Cross headquarters in that city the news that at least 100000 former war prisoners are waiting in Siberia for an opportune moment to return to Poland. Some place the number at 50O,0OO.
 According to the newly returned refugees who were themselves Aus trian prisoners of war, Western Si- beria is full of homeless men claim ing Polish nationality. The problem created in Poland by the returning prisoners and refugees Is already acute, the government being forced to rely heavily on Red Cross help to feed and clothe them. Should the number of refugees still to return be in keeping with the estimate brought by the new arrivals it will mean an enormous additional burden for the government and Red Cross relief service.

TO REMEDY WORLDS
 TRADE: TROUBLES E:

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 22.-Hun- dreds of the worlds greatest business 'surgeons''-men high in affairs in the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium-met here today at the opening session of a three days clinic to diagnose in ternationaI trade ills and prescribe for their cure.
 StabiliZatiOn of foreign exchange is, perhaps, the most vital topic up for consideration. One delegate put it: We must stabilize exchange or we won't have any foreign trade at all. Europe needs vast quantities of raw materials, semi-inished as well as finished goods, and the United States as the storehouse of the world must extend credit to put Europe back upon an industrial, buying basis.'
 Two recommendations will be made at the conference, among others, for the stabilization of exchange, one of an international currency" and the other for a. guarantee by American banks of foreign railroad and indus trial securities to encourage their purchase by American investors.
 Tt is not generally known" said one delegate. that the woolen indus try of northern France, before the war, competed for prominence with the great silk industry in the south Enormous supplies of raw wool and machinery will be needed to re-es- tablish the ruined or destroyed French textile mills. It is one of the big problems in the rehabilitation ot France. The power fuel situation in France, Italy and Belgium is also pressing. Authorities say the world faces a coal shortage of 70,OOO. .OOG tons. England and America will dis tribute wisely their available export supply.
 "Apropos of chemicals, there were only two countries before the war who manufactured chemicals for ex- port, America, and Germany. With th9 present chaotic state of exchange, French business men might be forced to swallow their objections to trad ing-with- -the-eneny' and buy German chemicals because of great com merciaI odvantage. Another point is that before the war closed the United States was producing 5,0O0,00O tons sulphic acid, for munitions. One of our problems is to ascertain how these big war chemical plants can be adapted to the arts of peace."

RICHES GAINED BY FUR TRADERS
 IN FAR NORTH

Nome, Alaska, Oct. 22.-Fortunes in furs were brought out of the far north this summer by the few trad ing schooners that braved the un- usual heavy Arctic ocean ice and worked their way along the northern rim of the continent to Banks Land and Hersche1 Island and back again.
 Over 2,5OO furs were stored on Banks Land alone awaiting the boats, according to reports brought here. For two years the ice has prevented boats from reaching the spot and as a result, the trappers, on the island have been piling up what Nome men said was the greatest cargo ever brought around into the Boring Sea.
