CIRISFOR HOUSE
WORK ARE EAGER
TO GET OLD JOBS
New York Industrial
Head Says Applicants
Are Increasing.
BY wINIFRED VAN DUzER.

There's a possibility that madame,
driven to desperation by the servant
problem. or lack of IL, may prepare
10 give over some of her worries.
The employment bureau of the
New York State industrial commits
facts:
Applications for domestic work
nave increased by 900 per cent over
kthose of two months ago.
The general do a bit of every
KIND OF domestic duty" is coming
oaek. crowding out specialists"
wages have decreased from five
10 twenty dollars per month.
MISS Henrietta Rothstein, head
OF the women's division of the bu-
reau expresses the opinion that the
SLOW change is due to closing
uown OF many industrial jobs for
women which were largely depend
ent upon war activities.
1t Is significant that many-in
iact most-of our applicants explain
that they either always have been
employed in factories or shops, or
that they went into that work when
enormous wages were offered wom-
en- to take the places of men called
away by war; she said.
Favored Industrial Jobs
"A month or two ago these wom-
en- registered for industrial jobs
only. They were emphatic in de-
claring they would never return to
the long hours, mixed duties and
less independent character of do
nestle service.
But those same applicants have

they prefer housework to idleness.
They are less particular too about
places where there are no children,
little company and a small house.
During the past two weeks l do
not believe a single applicant has
insisted upon going into a certain
exclusive type of neighborhood,"
But more significant" Mis- Roth
stein declared. lis the return of the
general houseworker.' Two months
ago this jewel of great desirabiIity
apparently did not exist" she said.

body's home would hire out as maid.
cook or laundress, but she would
do nothing outside of her 'spe-
cialty.' Now, however, the books
of the bureau show dozens of ap-
plications for general excluding
only laundry work. This continues
TO be in a class by itself.
The Matter of Salaries
However. il is likely that even
more than many household jewels
are waiting to be hired. The mat
ter of decapitated salaries will in
terest madame.
About the time that industry first
began to turn a cold shoulder to
women labor, domestics were ask
ing and receiving an average of $50
per month, with board. room and
other modern conveniences.
To-day the average wage being Of
fered is S55 per month, and in cases
where there are special allurements.
such as no children and easy hours.
offers of $40 are being snapped at.
4 Increase of domestic help is not
altgether due to closing down

Ords. Increased flow of immigra-
tion is partially responsible. Green

Fiftieth Anniversary of
City's Settlement

Marshall, Mimi, June 10.-The peo-
pie of Marshall and Lyon county are
staging an unusual celebration COM
m~emorating the fiftieth anniversary
of the settlement of that city and
county. Between four and five hun
dred people of that community are

ton of a great Historical pageant at
Marshall on June II and Is. The pa
geant is to be the feature of a home
coming celebration observing the
semi-centennial. While the pageant
and anniversary celebration are to be
held at the county seat, it is under
stood that all parts of the county are
CO. operaIng and the two days enter
tainment has behind it the united ef-
forts of the county.
The pageant is to be a thrilling
spectacle, presented on a massive
scale seldom attempted by any COM
munity outside the large centers If
population, 1t is to be a great spec
tacular drama, Interviewing the leg
ends and history of that section of
the state.
The story of Lyon county has been
dramatized and opens with a descrip-
ton of the country when inhabited
only by the Indians. The various cpl
sodes introduce the dramatic events
of history incident to the early settle
ment, the Lake Shetek massacre, ETC.,
and concludes with a stirring Incl
dent of the World war, presented by
the American Legion. A pageant
book is being prepared giving the
