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 las 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 dignifed
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours a 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 a 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 registrants are APP
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places Of eating and living as
the factory girl, Homework has
greater appeal, as being a less monoto-
nous and more interesting work to the
average woman.
The course is 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 a certificate which proves her
qualification as dependable home
worker capable of attending to all ordi-
nary duties in home.
The Young WOmen's Christian Asso-
citation has been interested in the prob
lem of domestic service both from the
standpoint of the employee and from
that Of the employer for some years.
The first commission on Household
Employment 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
women to this field of work were laid 4
to the long hours, lack of independence
in arranging recreation hours, lack Of
opportunities for growth and progress
and lack of social standing.
Girls have acquired a distaste for
the conditions which govern household
work since the freedom they have ex-
perienced in working in munition fac
tories. By standardizing domestic serv-
ice it is believed by the Young WO-
mems Christian Association that a
higher type of worker may be at
tracted TO the necessary work in homes.

HELP FOR COTTON INDUSTRY
IN AMENDED WAREHOUSE ACT

To place the business of cotton
warehousing on a stable basis and
provide receipts for cotton that a"e
negotiable at any bank has long been
an aim Of persons interested in cot.
ton, and under the amended United
States cotton warehouse act this is
likely to be realized. That is the
opinion Of men in the Bureau of
Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, who are charged with
issuing Federal warehouse licenses.
The warehouse act has just been
amended so as to permit the accept
ance Of personal bonds from ware
housemen and to permit the issu-
ance of negotiable receipts, when re-
quested by the depositors of cotton
in the warehouse, without stating the
grade Of the cotton. The grade must
be stated, however, unless the re-
quest to omit it is made.
The purpose of the warehouse act
is to create a warehouse receipt Of
unquestioned value and one which
will be acceptable to all bankers as
security for obtaining loans, regard
less Of the location of the warehouse.
In this way warehousemen will fur
nish a receipt to their customers
which will be Of the utmost value to
them as negotiable paper, and enable
them to borrow close to the actual
value of their stored goods at cheap
er interest rates. Thus they may
market their cotton slowly and in
conformity with the needs of the man
ufacturers. The full description ot
the cotton stored requested to be
stated on the face Of the receipt viii

of his cotton and enable him to mar.
