 SHIPBUILDERS

Thirteen young men who fought Tn the battle of Chateau-Thierry formed the first group of wounded American soldiers to be placed in shipyard ehl- Dlovment. They are now working as
 hcckers and heaters at Hog Island and arc glad to be able to give lurlh- CT service to the nation
 Through the cooperation of the de partment of labor and the shipping board. discharged soldiers are being placed in the great shipbuilding pro- gram, either as members of the mer- chant marine or as ShipbuiIders. They are certain kinds of work Tn shipbuilding in which men partly in capacitated by wounds may be util1z- cd and the various agencies of the government which are interested in the welfare of disabled soldiers-in- cluding the federal board for voca- tional training, the war department, and the department of labor-arc en- dcavoring to place such men in io where they can, with specialized training, make more money than they earned before the war.
 The 13 men who formed the van guard of the Hog Island forces thus recruited came from the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington.

FRIENDLINESS GOOD
 ASSET FOR EMPLOYER

When Flint Mich, a few days ago decided to make the effort to bring it's entire foreign-born population of 16,- 0O0 persons into American citizenship so that it might be the first all-Ameri- can city in the United States, one ot the most stimulating occurrences Of the big civic meeting at which the program was adopted came in the speech of an elderly Flint resident of French nativity.
 Rising to address the meeting, he said.
 I'm French. and I'm proud of it. | have just one criticism to make ot this country.
 That is. that no one apparently ever took the trouble to interest him self in my becoming citizen. The foreigner, you say. is shy That is SO Therefore, don't leave him to himself Make him realize that you welcome him; that you want him to stay here as an American, and that all Americans are his friends.
 There's nothing that appeals so much to man in a strange land as a friendly word, whether 1t comes from a friend Of d stranger. If employers and superintendents in business plants would think in the morning to bid their foreign-born workers cheery good day, they would be sur prisod at the results that would fol low in the way of cooperation and friendiin"ss. And, by the way. that is something that need not be confn- cd exclusively to the foreign born"

WILL GIVE UP JOBS
 TO SOLDIERS

ALBUQUERQUE. N. M, Jan. 29.- Prepared to relinqush their positions when America's soldiers return to claim their proper place in the cOun try's industrial life, the women of New Mexico are sturdily performing the work of men in several lines of endcavor. Notable among these oc- equations are the running of street cars and the performing of railway shop work.
 The COnduCtorcttes of Albuquerque already have become fixtures. al though they have been on duty barely two months. No matter how cold the morning, they are prompt in report ing for duty. There have been no ac- cidents due to their carelessness. Dur ing a recent rainy spell only one of the five derailments that occurred was suffered by cars in charge of women conductors, despite the fact that there are many more women at work on the cars than there are men.
 Our women conductors are just as good as the men. and they are paid on the same basis" was the comment of the president of the traction com pany the other day.
 The Santa Fe railway system is em- ploying women in lighter shop work. Five are now busy in the local shops two in the tool room, two on triple valve work, and one on light ma chine Their foremcn report them as being thoroughly satisfactory.
 Farming has attracted number of New Mexico woman. The women's land army has rendered valuable serv- ice in harvesting the states war crops.
 Will they keep on the job after the boys come home?" was the question asked of an employer of women en- gagged in mems work.
 Tn most cases, yes,' was the reply, which proved to be typical. Most of these women are working here solely because of war conditions; because their husbands, brothers or even fathers have been called. When the men folks return the necessity for their working will cease. and the posi-. tions will automatically revert to the former incumbents. In case of any conflict. however, the returned sol diers will be given the preference"

REDUCES DEATH RATE

OF CHILDREN
 Figures compiled by the municipal health bureau of the city of Milwau- kee show that the mortality of in fants under l year of age in that city in 1912 represented 25 per cent of all the deaths reported. In 1917. it was 20 per cent. This decrease is attrib- uted to the child welfare work carried on by local committe. and inspired by the children's bureaus, department of labor. The establishment ot health clinics for sick children and of municipal keep well" centers where healthy children are taken for observation and for advice concern ing methods of retaining health have brought good results. The prenatal clinics for mothers, where intelligent hygiene for motherhood Is taught, also have been found of value in help ing to reduce the number of babies who die in the first month of exist cnCc on account of lack of proper
