H1sa5SNOMENaIOgDAY

The women of this country are
certainly going to do all in their
power to keep in positions they
have gained in industrial circles
! during the war and at the same
time give the returning soldier more
| than a square deal Many women
! of the National League for Wom-
( ems Service who have heretofore
I been busy at canteens and Red
| Cross, are now canvaSsing their cit
| les in search of jobs for returned
| soldiers.
The women who are canvassing
| the city are furnished with creden-
tails by the government, and each
one has a particular section in
which to work, SO that employers
! will not be visited by more than one
worker.
If there are no positions open at
the time a worker visits the en-
ployer she is instructed to leave a
registration card with him. When
ever he finds need for man or men
he needs only to forward this card
to the employment service.
Women who are holding soldiers
jobs will step down and out but that
does not mean that they will ever
go back to those very undesirable
fields which were supposed to be
'woman's sphere" At least if the
Y. W. C. A. can carry out its plan
efficiently women will not go back
to scrubbing Office floors and other
less arduous and less remunerative
| jobs.
Instead, girls. who have held DO
sitions of soldiers during the per-
iod of the war and are now finding
themselves being replaced by re-
turning doughboys, are to be fitted
for new positions by the Y. w. C. A.
Mrs. Harriet Chamberlain has been
made executive secretary of the
Ohio and West Virginia territory
! taking up this work. She will have
her Offices in Cincinnati and will
supervise Is special bureaus in
Ohio and West Virginia during the
readjustment period. Through her
efforts thousands of girls and
women will be trained for new work
which will not conflict with that of
the returning soldiers. The women
will step out from their jobs for a
soldier-but never down.

About Smoking.

OF course nobody cares any more
what crowned heads do or think
in fact believe that most people OF
today are of the opinion that
crowned heads are even incapable
of thought, but nevertheless, here
are a few interesting bits about the
royal women of today.
Although many queens are hostile
to smoking, the majority do not dis
dain the use of tobacco.
Ex-Queen Amelia of Portugal, for
instance, is extraordinarily fond of
tobacco. She undoubtedly inherits
this passion from her mother, the
