=: Women and Wage Earning-An Interview

the great bulk of organized working
women in the country, gave me these
spirited assurances of the future. She
speaks from long experience in the in
dustrial field. Since 1907, in her present
capacity, she has been on the very crest
of the advancing wave of women. Dur
ing the war she has had her finger on
the pulse of industrial life, and through
the leaders of the War Labor admins
tration, many of whom are trade union
women, she has felt all the recent quick
developments IN women's work.
"Of course" says Mrs. Robbins, "not
every woman who helped fill the war gap
Mothers and wives of soldiers, the
women whom only a temporary need
drove out of their homes, can be expected
to return to them. The Southern women,
who are most remote from industry, will
perhaps go back to them in large num-
bers.
"Yet many, / feel, who never worked
before will now have an uncomfortable
desire to retain economic independence.
These days I often think of the little
Polish girl in Chicago who from child
hood had been earning SO week in the
stockyards. When her mother died she
refused to keep house for the father on
wageless basis, and the court to which
he brought the case upheld her right to
earn living. She returned to her stock
yard and SO week.
"The great mass of women, however,
who have been working in the war in
dustries came over from the ranks of the
pre-war industries. These women, of
course, cannot afford unemployment even
temporarily. They must work to live.

"These numbers deserve consideration.
From no one who realizes their signif-
canoe comes the proposal that women
should be suddenly withdrawn from the
labor market. The absurdity, the latent
dilemma in this plan are too forbiddingly
clear. How pack away all these women,
how dry them in lavender against the
next emergency? Shooting the women

the classes, and the schoolroom greeting
is often passed from one young scholar
to another: Hello, Jimmie, did you
brush your teeth this morning?"
Observation of almost 10000 children
in New York City, said Dr. Ball, showed
that in approximately 90 per cent of
cases the four six-year molars, which
come in with the first teeth but are per-
manent, were in such bad condition that
they had to be extracted. These children

There Will Be Enough
Work For Us All

"ln the great period of industrial ex-
pansion just ahead there will be enough
work for every man and every woman.
Europe, her peoples and industries ex-
hausted, is already calling to US for mate
rial products of every kind. If only the
immediate period of readjustment is
planned for with some humane inte]l
gence and humane forethought there will
be no need of urging or ordering women
whose hands have served the war to re-
treat from their employments before the
returning soldier.
"And if an unforeseen and unavoid-
able shortage in employments should
arise, why don't we then at once with
draw the 100000 children working in
factories, quarries, mills, stores and
other places and send them to school
where they belong?"
Which question is, of course. pertinent
at any time.

women themselves will meet the emer-

working women, where they are or
gained, can and will make every effort
to maintain the advances in opportunity
and general conditions which have been
won during the war. Some national
programme, we expect, will define the
new position of industrial women and
make Federal guarantee, or at least
recommendation of rights and safe
guards. There is still too much current
confusion in opinion and policy on these

Dentistry" Prevented for
Future Generation

New York school children are now be-
ing served by preventive dentistry and
oral hygiene. Clinics to promote oral
hygieae for children started at confer
ence called by Senator Ogden. Mills in
the spring of 1916. 1t was decided that
worth while social service to children
could be accomplished, eliminating the
charity idea entirely, by work done
through chldren's clubs, neighbour God
houses, churches and social service
centres.
Children belong to clubs in these in

club privileges. The dental privilege

Dentistry Is Not Just
Filling Up Holes

Dentists are so busy putting filings
in holes already there that they have no
time to examine the mouth. By exam
ination / mean systematic examination,
between teeth, beneath gum margin and
in crevices on the biting surface of teeth.
This examination is the province of pre-
ventive dentistry. 1t is rendered free to
women and children in the Yorkville dis
trict of the city, and there is no reason
why similar clinics should not be estab-
lished in all districts of the city.
"The method of preventive dentistry
is regular, periodic visits to a dentist
who specializes in the cleansing of teeth
and mouth examination. This work is
done by neutral examiner, who dag
noses the trouble and sends patients,
knowing the where and why Of their
toothache, to their own dentists for re-
pairs. This method eliminates entirely
the quack dentist who crowns teeth
where no crown is needed and performs
other oral tricks to the detriment of the
ignorant patients pocketbook
"Preventive dentistry is the obliga-
ton ON the part Of the dentist to edu-
cate his patient. Its corollary is oral
hygiene, which is the obligation on the
part CT the patient to keep his mouth in
good condition. Oral hygiene means
mouth hygiene. of course"

Parents, as a rule, are unable or un-

think their teeth are baby teeth and will
come out anyway. They do not know
that the first grinders, which come in at
six years of age, are permanent teeth

children is in charge of girl oral hygien-

Teeth Seriously
Affect Health
Beginning this week, the prospective
mother can go to the clinic, too, for dem
tai care. There are in existence pre-
natal clinics where diet is prescribed
and medical care dispensed, but up TO
this time no clinic has attempted to cor
relate this care with the care of thu
mouth and teeth. It is just as i'm
portant.
It is important because if the teeth
show signs Of breaking down the health
of the mother will, most likely, be i'm
paired unless there is change in diet.
1t is important because if the mouth is
in proper condition the food will be
properly chewed and digestion will not
be impaired.
At the Yorkville Clinic every morning
and Tuesday and Saturday evenings, will
be given over to preventive dentistry for
expectant mothers. The evenings will
be devoted to inspection and recommen-
dations; cleaning without charge will
take place in the mornings

Some one suggests that If the far
mers were paying high wages. the Of
fees everywhere would ne deserted
and the employees would flock to the
farms.
That is another one of the theories,
which can not be adjusted to the real
conditions OF things. The wages have
nothing TO do with the case. Nothing
whatever. And besides the wages on
the farm are better than the wages in
store or office. Much better.
Leave the farm out of the question.

There are reasons 10 be sure. rne
older employees in Offices and stores
could not go to work at something else
and more especially on the farm or in

They have been brought UP wrong,
educated wrong. They nave been
taught to look for situation and a

The country over the Job pays better

And there IL not III slightest prob
ability that the offices will be depopu-
