WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

There is an interesting woman liv-
ing down in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
She has taken up an occupation which
heretofore has been clear field for
men. She contradicts the statements
made by many reactionaries that the
home IS the place for women and that
the family must suffer if the woman
works in the business world. Mrs.
William Eicher is the woman and she
has four small children. Mrs. Dicher
claims that her family would suffer
more il she did not work at her new
profession.
Mr.. Eicher died few months ago
and left his wife with four small chill
dren, a small farm, a smaller. steamer
and a river bank coal mine. Mrs.
Eicher felt that she could not afford
to hire skilled pilot to operate her
steamer which hauled tows of coal
from the mine to Bowling Green on
Green river. But this did not worry
her long, because armed with the
knowledge gained in working side by
side with her husband on the river
she applied for pilots license and
won it,
Thus she became the first licensed
pilot in Kentucky. Her little farm is
not large enough to support a family
of FIVE, but together with the mine
properties under her judicious man
age ment are on a paying basis, de-
spite the high prices of materials and
labor.
