Of the most fascinating subjects in
women's careers and one in which
few American women have made
much of a showing-fnance. Miss
Spencer herself is perhaps the best
example of what a woman can do
in the financial world. She is young
and good looking and magnetic,
qualities all too seldom associated
with the woman who works. After
being graduated from the Univer-
sity of Illinois she entered the Ma
tional City Bank Of New York as
librarian Later she was appointed
assistant chief clerk of the National
City Bank. Her latest job is that

Composed His
Own Name in Peerage

At sixtyeight years of age, with
plants scattered over the whole civil
lized world, the "Soap King Of Eng
land" has now undertaken to revo-
lutionize the fish industry. Start
ing with the purchase Of the Island
of Lewis, with a population of 30,-
600 people, he is investing millions
of pounds in canneries, fish shops
and a system Of distribution which
will lower costs and cut present
wastes in this source of food supply.
Fried fish for penny is already be-
ing sold by a chain of shops in Lon
don and other cities.
At Port Sunlight there is a monu-
mental memorial to Lord Lever
hulme's late wife. When he was
created baron in 1917 he refused
the honor unless he was permitted
to adopt title composed Of his own
name, Lever, and his wifes name,
which was Hume, thus violating i'm

The program is TO start With a

the native and foreign born toward
Americanization. the illiteracy and
status of citizenship of the men,
Lers Of the community. any data
concerning work which has been
done, and workers to do it. Then
a census Of the foreign born will be
made in the community. In this
connection the State Department
announces that is files Of the mill

No Limit TO Women 8 Work.
Says Soap King Of England

wives of his men workers. on the
ground that six-hour day makes
better fathers and husbands. A
home and garden are not Of much
use to tired man who never sees
them until after dark, is another
paraphrase of one Of his arguments
for the short workday. Make your
self capable of making a living
and something more-by six hours
work, or I can't afford to pay you
the eight-hour rate, is another i'm
piled condition that goes along with
Lord Leverhulme's short workday
plan.
He believes that if there ever was
any basis for the idea that there
are limits TO the value of women's
service in industry the war has re-
moved it. If men are going to
maintain the idea that they should
be paid more than women the men
must do better work. On the other
hand, if women are to retain the
status they gained during the war
they must expect to compete with
men now that the war emergency
is over. The race will go to the
most efficient without regard to sex.

A TTORNEI GENERAL A.
N MITCHELL PALMER is

preparing to combine TIE
power of the Department of Justice
and that of the nationally organized
women Of the country in his fight on
the high cost Of living, the profiteer
and the propagandists of cred"
principles. 1t was recommended to
him that women be employed as spe-
cial agents of the department. to de-
tect profiteers, but he has made
plans for a program that will in
clude every woman in the land.
A director Of women's activities
has been named in the Department
Of Justice. She is Miss Edith
Strauss, Of New York City.
The new post is not permanent. 1t
was created to meet the present ma
tional emergency of the high cost Of
living and social unrest. After the
departments special phase Of recon-
struction has been accomplished the
division of women's activities will
pass into history, it is thought.
A nationwide educational CAM
palgn against waste, decreased pro-
duction and failure to meet the
changed order Of national affairs
has been planned. Through their
national organizations the women of
the country will be urged to look for
violators of the fair price list and
the hoarders of food. They will be
asked to notify the nearest agent of
the Department of Justice when
they have suspect. Primarily, they
will be urged to educate their COM
munities to do without senseless
luxuries, to wear their clothes in
stead of boarding them, to remodel
last years wardrobe, to practice
wartime economies in the kitchen
all with view to hating the
over-consumption Of commodities
until production increases. They
will be asked to talk about in
creased production at home, to in
splre their men folks to do a full
days work and to give them the
courage to have the disturbing ele-
ments around their factories or
workshops turned over to the De-
partment Of Justice officials.
Miss Strauss will direct the cam
paign toFreach women. She is a
graduate Of the Quincy Mansion at
Boston and was with the Foreign
News Service of the Committee on
Public Education during the war.
She went to Paris after the armis-
tlce with the American Peace Com
mission, and on her return from
abroad was named to this new work
with the Department of Justice. She
studied economic questions and their
solutions abroad for several years
before the war and has been work
ing night and day since her coming
to Washington to get ready for the
intensive drive among the women's
organizations.

mothers, however, have ever had
visions of great careers for their

arises from the fact that there has
never been any prospect that the

Investigating the
Opportunity

The program is:

Woman" Emma P. Hirth; "How a
Girl Can Go to College," Emma T.
NacAlarney; What the Financial
World Wants of Women" Florence
Spencer; Leading Women of Amer
ice,' Lena Madesin Phillips.
Emma P. Hirth, for those who
haven't heard of her, is the head of
the Bureau of Vocational Informa-
lion, West Forty-thrd Street.
Miss Hlrth was at one time associ-
ated with the intercollegiate Bureau
OF Occupations. She developed the
idea of analyzing and investigating
opportunities for women. The bu
reau she now heads Is the result Of
her plan and work in finding and
correlatlng such information. 1t is
safe to say that Miss Hirth knows
more about jobs for girls and where
they are than any other person in
the country.
"Women's lack Of feeling of
permanency in their work has been
the greatest drawback to their de-
Felopment in various lines up to the
present. said Miss Hirth, in dis
cussing the results Of her investi
cations last week "There has been
TOO little actual thought given to
the kinds of careers girls should
take up and too little development
toward q broader future worked
out after they made a start. In
large degree this was because the
girls themselves did not expect to
remain in business for very long"

Girls
fhe Bureau Of Vocational Edu-
ca'ion has published booklet Of
Information on the various careers
open TO women and the preparation
ana requirements for them. Miss
Hirth is called in consultation to
colleges where girls are preparing

Baron Lererhulme Ar-

Revolutionary Ideas on
Soap and Fish Industries

CUPER-WORKERS among women
~ as we'll as among men is the
fundamental aim Of the
hours-of-labor policy adopted by
Lord Leverhulme, Of Port Sunlight,
England, who is scheduled to arrive
in New York tomorrow on the
Mauretania. This former grocery
boy, who has become England's
greatest employer Of labor and one
Of its most progressive thinkers on
industrial subjects, comes to the
United States to confer with the
managers of his extensive business
interests here, to look into our fish
marketing methods and to talk to
the Boston Chamber of Commerce
on Human Relations in Industry"
Among other innovations for
which he is famous, Lord Lever
hulme is best known as the apostle
Of the six-hour day. This may mean
a loafer's paradise in the minds of
slackers. Leverhulme advocates it
as a means Of increasing production
by greater and better utilization Of
plant-working two or more shifts
instead Of one-and to give the
worker time for mental and phys
ical improvement.
