Home Versus job

Have war jobs killed the home in
stinct in married women?
Thousands OF married women
Jobs outside the home to relieve the
wartime labor shortage.
Now the war is over, but the mar
ried wage-earning women are not re-
turning to their homes. Instead their
ranks are being swelled by hundreds
of new recruits each week. Women
who came out of the home seeking
jobs STAY out-more women are
COMING out Why?
For the last ten years every young
woman has had two social rivals for
her time and attention-the home or
a job. The new freedom for women
in industry and every field of work
gave women a choice. Marriage was
no longer obligatory. If a woman did
not wish to marry for a living she
might WORK for il. At first marriage
the home. supported by habit and
tradition. won the most women to its
ranks. Now the pendulum seems TO
swing the other way-more women
choose work than marriage-and even
married women are APPARENTLY
deserving their homes for jobs with
salary attachments.
The married woman entered the
business world as a pinch hitter In
the war-labor shortage. She made
good. The business world admits that
However. the war Is over and it's
time for the married woman to go
back to her place in the home. It's
time to go back-but she doesn't go.
The result: Men and single women
workers are angry. they resent her
com petition :employers are ~beNildered
is her help permanent or temper
airy? Social students and workers are
worried-what of the children? All
believers In the sanetity and import
ance OF homes and families are gem
Iuinely and justly alarmed.
Necessity, not choice, takes the
married woman from home TO job.
The modern home does not rest up
on the labor and devotion of a m
Its foundations are builded on
MONEY. Without money II cannot
exist. The income of M average
wage-earner-the husband-may sup
ply the necessities of life. IL will not
support a true home. Under present
economic conditions most men are
helpless TO increase their Incomes More
income involves another w-age-earner.
The mother or children of the family
must become earners or the home
win be destroyed. Most mothers Will
not permit children to sacrifice educa-
tioa to earnings IL they can prevent Ii.

THEY GOT WATER AND COFFEE
All Because One of Their Comrades

Paris.-There are few people who
can understand the temperamental
disposition of a mule, much less cope
with IL. Corporal Bert l.. Jennings,
Jr., Of the Marine corps could do both.
AS a consequence he and Sergeant
Claude A. Miller were able to furnish
an exhausted battalion of men with
hot coffee and give them strength to
clinch their victory in the Chateau
Thierry sector.
1t was on a night near the end OF
the war that Jennings and Miller
braved the torrent Of q German par
rage and drove two carts of water
and hot coffee through the clouds OF
poison gas and bursting shells to the
Second battalion of the Fifth marines,
who were holding a section Of Belleau
wood against q terrific German eoun-
ter-atfnck.
They brought the first load through
safely md were about to return for
more when a shell fragment cut the
harness Of one Of the mules and he
escaped. Jennings started In pursuit
but the animal seemed to fear him and
would not let him approach. Then the
fr~eckie-fsced farm lad from Wiscon-
sin realized that 1t was his gas mask
that frightened the mule. Despite the
poisonous gus heavy about him, he
drew a deep breath. 1erked the mask
from his face and approached the anil
NAL. which Immediately recognized
him and submitted to control. Then
he replaced his mask and the corporal
and sergeant continued TO carry out
their perilous mission.
