Recent Happenings in the World Of Women
VOcnti0nu al
Counsel for
Juniors

nROTECT the youth of the coun-
try at the employment Office
is the new note sounded by the
Department Of Labor. Through its
testimony, offered a few days ago
before the joint committees Of the
House and Senate, the Federal EN-
ployment Service told members of
Congress how several million bows.
between the ages Of sixteen and
twenty-one years, we're taking blind
alley jobs through the lack of
sound advice about their occupa-
tional choice.
Through the children's bureau
the government has sounded the note
Of child care in infancy. Through
the Bureau of Education it has
stimulated the economical advantage
Of having more years in school than
the average boy and girl now en-
joy. It has to-day caught the
vision Of vocational counsel at the
employment Office, where the lad
looking for work goes to seek job.
"Why do you want to be a bell
hop" he is questioned in these Of
fees boasting an examiner detailed
to boys.
"Oh, just naturally like to be
around hotel" he replies.
But don't you like draughting;
you have worked at it for several
years." he is asked.
eyes, but I guess I have gone
about as far as l can go In that" he
answers, disconsolately.
The special examiner gets him
position in machine shop. Here
the boy learns the practical side of
manufacturing, and in time acquires
a trade which leads him bacl: to his
draughting career. The employ
ment service witness pointed out
that his later success in life rested
on the advice given that boy in the
choice of his job at the time he was
looking for work.
Then the girl with the creative
turn of mind has to earn her living
before she is equipped to do so. The
average examiner in an employment
office is not trained, declares the
employment service, to place the
boys and girls with regard to their
future life work. This girl may be
sent to department store to wrap
bundles and, finally, be only half
way sort Of salesgirl, whereas to
have sent her to the millinery room
would have made her a personality.
William E. Hall, who is in charge
Of the junior department Of the
service, recommends that each en-
ployment Office have it's counselor
for the juniors. These Offices are to
cooperate with the school author;-
ties and with those national social
organizations doing welfare work
for boys.

Few Headiirers
In Personnel

The National Business Women's
Committee and the Women's Asso-
citation Of Commerce Of the United
States of America, which are to
form the federation, viii hold sep
arate meetings Monday at the Stat
Ter Hotel, in St Louis. Tuesday
their joint sessions viii be held and
the federation viii be formed. Two
hundred and fifty delegates are ex-
pected and hundreds Of other bust
ness and professional women as
visitors. The sessions viii be open,
none Of the business being trans
acted behind closed doors.
Few spectacular names are blaz-
oned on the programmes Of the con-
vention- According to Mrs Eliza
beth Sears, Director Of publicity for
the federation, the women IN sttend-
ance represent the hundreds Of
business and professional women
who have for years been carrying
on their work efficiently and without
breaking into headlines or illu.tra-
tionx
These business and professional
women are the backbone Of the
women's working world" said Mrs.
Searx "The best way know to de-
scribe the women who have re-
sponded to the call Of the federation
Is IN terms Of the newspaper Office
tNrx Sears was for years a news
paper wonan-) you know there
are always stars IN the Office who
once IN lifetime pull Of a big
scoop, get their salaries raised and
forever after bask in the light Of
their geniuE- There are also news
paper writer. who go on turning out
good work every day, never starring,
but giving a steady flow Of high
grade work The type Of women
who have responded to ;.he call of
the federation belong tcf the same
family from which the latter class
q newspaper writer's come. They
are the people who get out the paper.

Bring the
Man In, Too

However that may be, it is onlv
TAR and just that the man should
come. Let him come as a witness.
IT he is not to be held a party to
the crars- The Court of Morals in
thlcago works in the proper man
ner, to my way of thinking. There
a man must be brought in with the
woman and there is no conviction
on the unsupported testimony of a
single policeman.
When l first began to 20 to the
Women's Night Court l saw what
an opportunity there was for un-
scrupulous persons, especially in the
case of girls who were first offend
ers and girls who have fallen not by
their own choice. These girls should
be looked after. Even the hardened
girls should have protection. The
moment they leave their homes thew
are watched. The fact that thew
have past record should not con-
Wet them.
i would rather make a mistake
ten times in a girls favor than con-
Wet her wrongly one. I should
like to give every girl the oppor-
tunity to mend her ways. There is
no chance for this after conviction
i shall give the girl the benefit
Of the doubt every time. Ii the girl
IS willing to lead a decent life I am
gong to try to interest others in
aiding her to get the opportunity.

and in many small towns in the
country. However, up to this time,
few of these clubs even knew of one
another's existence. The federation
has extended the invitation to all
these scattered clubs to join it's
ranks.
Young women entering the bust
ness world will have the advice and
counsel and the accumulated exper-
fence Of members of the federation.
They will pass on to each other the
lessons learned in the working world.
Women already working in the
business and professional world
will have the way opened to them to
change their profession for others
that may be better suited to their
talents.
1--WE hope that the federation's
work will result in wedding out the
misfits in business" said Miss Phil
lips There is much waste in the
business world to-day from certain
persons sticking to jobs for which
they are not fitted"

Educators AS
Star Witnesses

Much color was given the view
that women are to come to the front
nationally through educational mat
ters in the choice of witnesses made
for the opening arguments fired in
behalf Of the Smith-Towner bill at
Washington. Mrs. Josephine Cor
llss Preston, Superintendent of
Schools for the State of Washington.
member of the National Republican
Women's Committee and now presi-
dent of the National Educational As
ISOLATION, was one of the first edu-
Gators to be placed on the stand to
testify as to the advisability of Gre
ating a Department of Education.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, who has
become national authority on il
literacy because Of her work in the
Moonlight Schools Of Kentucky, was
another witness. Mrs. Mary C. C.
Bradford, superintendent of Schools
for Colorado, is former president
of the National, and formed the
third woman in the early witness
group.

The First National Federation Of
Business and Professional Women
The Backbone of the
Women's WORKING
World Gets Itself
a Spinal Cord

N USINESS women and profess
sional women will assemble
in st. Louis tomorrow for
their first countrywide convention.
The plan for organization of the
National Federation of Business
and Professional Women and the
programme for the week have been
outlined along plain, sensible lines.
The businesslike atmosphere will
extend even to the clothes Of the
delegates. 1t is perhaps the first
convention Of women where the
delegates need not worry about
what they are going to wear.
The programme for the fedora
ton will include no long speeches
and few social affairs. The only
social functions will be an open air
opera and banquet.
The thing we are after is to
assemble this group of representa-
tive women from every state in the
union," said Miss Lena Madesin
Phillips, executive chairman of the
Business Women's Committee, last
week, mot to waste time in talking,
but to help solve business and pro-
fessional problems"
Miss Phillips is called the
mother of the federation by the
women working with her. She is
an attorney and before she studied
law was a woman of the business
world. She hopes through this con-
vention to gather into a group for
leadership the finest types Of bust
ness and professional women of the
country.

try. Happily they remain in our
country alive. We have now in Pal
estine the best sons of Our nation
the Jewish Legioneers.
If their lives by a miracle were
not needed any more, their young
energy is needed now for our coun-
try. It is our sacred duty to enable
them to remain there The country
needs them. With their inexhausti-
bic source of energy and idealism,
will they be the best builders of our
country. We ought to see to it that
all those who wish to remain in Pal
estine SHALL not be lost through our
neglect.

OUR MANAGING EDITOR.

It is with genuine satisfaction that
we welcome back to our city Mr..
Leo H. Frisch, the managing editor
of the American Jewish World, who
returned few days ago after spend
ing more than year in the service
of our country. 1t is not only as
managing editor that he is welcomed
back, but rather because of his zeal
and idealism in the field of Jewish
journalism. Editors land even as
sociate editorsD are more easily
found than laymen who feel so
strongly the need of Jewish jour
nal that they are willing to venture
into it's publication as an ideal as
well as calling.
That is precisely what Mr. Frisch
has done for the Twin Cities. Sew
eral times his venture has been I'M
successful, but he has returned to
the charge again and again. That
local journal serves the best inter-
ests of community all reasonable
people now admit. We hope that
with Mr.. Frisch's return the Ameri-
can Jewish World will get a new
lease of life, that it will grow
strong, and in it's growth reflect the
sympathetic support of the Twin
Cities as we'll as their ever-increas-
ing Jewish activities.

Sick Funds, Loan and Savings
Funds.
The Jewish worker in Palestine
lives under such conditions which
make it impossible for him to take
care of himself in case of illness or
worklessness. The builders of the
Jewish land are satisfied with little.
Their earnings are small, and all
their worries when they are healthy
the-the more intensive and the
more energetic to work and the
more secure to make the Jewish
land for the Jewish Nation.
It is the duty of everyone who
wishes to see the Jewish Nation de-
livered in his land, to create for the
constructors Of the land, such funds
which shall provide for the worker
at the time when his energy and
physical strength are not needed.
Cooperative Workers Kitchens.
The workers. kitchen is in fact
the home of the Jewish worker in
Palestine. In it he spends his
leisure time, here are found the
workers libraries, the workers as
semblies are there. and the entire
life of the worker centers here.
Facts have proven, that in those
colonies where they have no work
ers' kitchens, there were no work
ers. And on the contrary, there
where workers kitchens were estab-
lished, no matter how small and
poor they were, there was also laid
the foundation for Jewish work.
Sacred is the Jewish work to us, be-
cause only through it will we return
the land to the Jewish Nation. We
must create such pleasant conditions
which would make possible for cur
idea1istic, energetic young men,
who are willing to devote their ener-
gy for our land, so that they should
be able to do it under more favor
able conditions. We have to create
such institutions to make easier for
them their responsible work.

land Workers kitchens in Pale5-

sphere And built these kitchens

POALE ZION TO HAVE TAG
DAY.
Sunday, Aug. 10th, for Palestine
Liberty Fund.
The Poale Zion of St. Paul have
been raising their quota of $1,000
for the Palestine Liberty Fund, by
diligent effort, and have succeeded
in securing $1,000 Of their fund.
The windup of the campaign is ex-
pected to take place this coming
Sunday, August 10th, when a few
hundred workers will canvass the
city in a Tag Day Campaign, and
it is hoped to raise considerable
portion Of the remaining $4,000. The
following excerpts from pamphlet
''What is the Palestine Liberty
Fund.- gives an inkling Of the work
for which the money is raised. The
pamphlet is distributed by the New
York office of the Poale Zion:
WHAT IS THE PALESTINE
LIBERTY FUND?
This is the fund that the party of
the Poale-Zion collects for the first
works in the liberated Palestine
This is the fund which must help at
first to base Palestine on sound
foundation and secure that land for
the large Jewish masses, for the
masses who work and create, for the
masses who want to build the land
with their sweat and their hard
labor.
The Palestine Liberty Fund is Sc
cured to help the true constructors
of the land, to help those, for whom
Palestine will become an organic
part of their life, for those who will
devote themselves to the land

who build it The land for the Jew
ish Nation, built by the Jewish Ma
