DEMoeILIZING WOMEN.
Britain Has Big Task in banding
Army Of Million Workers.

iCorrcspondence of Associated Press.]
London, Dec. 5.-To "demobilize'
about LOCO, 900 women war workers is
the colossal task assigned to a spe-
cial department Of the ministry of la
bor. Women pgedominate in this new
organization.
One of the most difficult Of their
problems will be how to satisfy a
munitions worker who has been earn
ing from SIS to $40 a week now that
she is called upon to return to her
former task as a family servant at
from SO to 1925 a week. Government
officials realize that this is one of the
hard problems connected with the re-
construction period especially as these
girls and women must sacrifice some
of the freedom they have enjoyed as
munition workers and now submit to
more exacting hours of work. They
are appealing to the workers to ad-
just themselves to the. new order of
things as best they can, and to be
willing to make sacrifices during the
reconstruction as they did during the
war.
Unemployment is one Of the big
problems. Employers are being ad-
monished to give their workers long
notice of dismissal and not to dis
charge large numbers at one time. To
aid the girls, the government has de-
cided to give each war worker $4.75 a
week for thirteen weeks after she
stops war work if, during that time,
she does not find other employment.
This is the only tangible bridge the
government has been able to provide
to carry the workers over the trans
ition period Other means Of helping
the situation are to be left to the new
organization in the labor ministry. To
solve the problem Of demobilizing
these women workers. the country
has been divided into eleven labor dis
tricts each with district council

labor ministry. These councils will be
composed of representatives of each
town or small district in which there
is labor employment agency and
these latter agencies will orga nize
committees to care for the needs OF
the workers in each town.

bergs! Come quick!" it seemed to
say.
Mr.. Dunkelberg was a big, broad
shouldered, solemn looking man. Some
how his face reminded me of lions
which I had seen in one Of my pic
ture books. He had thick, long. out
standing mustache and side whiskers,
and dcep-set eyes and heavy eyebrows.
He stood for half a moment looking
down at me from great height with
his right hand in his pocket. I heard
a little Jingle Of coins down where
his hand was. 1t excited my curios-
ity. He took step toward me and
I retreated., I feared, little, this
big, lion-likc man. My fears left me
suddenly when he spo::c in small

Special Aero Edition FIutters
Over the City.
FIRST STUNT OF ITS KIND
State Journals To Be Sent to
Eskridge Friday.
Weber O'Brien GOdsey Trio
Thrilling the City.
BY w. G. CLUGsTO

Trying to be first in everything
! worth while is a habit with The Topeka
State Journal. and Thursday afternoon
| this newspaper established a new record
by being the first paper in Kansas to
use an airplane for circulation purposes
and the first to get out a special "Aer-
ial Extra " This special edition of The
State Journal was issued Immediately
after the regular Postscript edition
and was distributed over the city a
short time later by the writer who ac-
companied Lieut.. Thomas Webber.
formerly a British Royal flyer. who
is giving regular flight trips at Wash
burn field every morning and even
ing.
Following this new stunt in aerial
circulation" this newspaper will use
the Webber machine next Friday to
carry its regular number of papers to
subscribers at Eskridge. Kan, and
later it is Planned to deliver papers to
subscribers in other surrounding towns
in a similar manner.
BY using an airplane it is possible
for the up-to-date newspaper to get
later editions to subscribers in sur
rounding towns than can be carried
on the mail trains and to get papers
to these subscribers almost as quickly
as to subscribers right in the city
where the paper is published. OF
course, it is not now practicable for a
newspaper to tablish regular air
plane circulation service. but it takes
no stretch Of the imagination to see
that this special newspaper service
will be a regular thing in the very near
future.
1t Isn't Practical.
1t will hardly ever be possible for a
newspaper to equip all of its city car
riers with airplanes. The experience
Thursday evening demonstrated how
hard it is to hit a front porch or yard
from a height of 5000 feet-even the
block in which the boss lived was
missed by the carrier despite his best
aim-and one batch of papers intend
ed for North Topeka landed in the
Kaw.. But it is as certain as anything
in the future can be that Topeka State
Journals will be delivered to surround
ing towns by airplane in the very near
future, as will all other progressive
newspapers in their territory.
When this time comes Lieutenant
Webber undoubtedly will have no
trouble getting a job as a newsboy.
whatever he is carrying to the place
| he wants to go, and he does not hesi-
tate to stand on his nose when he
wants to get down close to the earth.
Weber has demonstrated since he
came to Topeka that he is a thoro
master of air navigation and Thurs
! day afternoon he showed to the per-
J feet satisfaction of a passenger that
he can make his Curtiss MA do more
stunts than a hybrid cross between a
| bucking broncho and a double action
kicking mule. There is no living ami
NAL that can go from a position in
