MANY WOMEN KEEP
PLACES TAKEN IN WAR
Director Of Bureau Reports Only
Part Of Those Have Lost Jobs
Because Of Returning Men. -

CHICAGO, January s.-Only part Of
the women engaged in industry during
the war period have lost their places
through the return Of men from the
war and lack Of employment. Miss Mary
Anderson, director Of the women's bu-
reau Of the United States Department
Of Labor. reports.
Statements to the bureau from hum
dreds Of industry heads who employed
only women during the war show they
have retained their female heip; Wniie
others state they have replaced their
women with male workers." Miss An
der0on said.
because Of the volume Of unemploy-
ment throughout the country today no
accurate figures as to the number OF
ent as compared with the war period
are obtainable.
II believe that when figures Of the
1920 census are available. they will
show more than 100000 women in
gainful occupation. The census. how
situation because unemployment has
increased by leaps and bounds since
1t was taken.
'Women won the admiration Of en-
ployers during the war period by their
ability to all in on mems Jobs. Take.
sands Of women became very efficient
and stfll retain their places beside men
operators. The war gave American
women a new opportunity in industry
and they grasped it."
There are two factors needed to in
sure women their place in industry.
Miss Anderson said. Protective legis-
lation for the eight-hour day is badly
needed, she declared. and added that
the women must ''organize within the
next few years.
With the return Of prosperity, in
dustries will clamor for woman work
ers. in the opinion of Miss Mary E..
Mcdowell Of the University Of Chicago
Settlement House, who is chairman Of
the women in industry committee of
the National League Of Woman Voters.

Claims Blue La1Us
Of South Dakota
Admit of Evasion

PIERRE, 8. D., January S.
South DakOta's blue. laws must
either be repealed or amended
so they may be enforced. I'm the
opinion Of Attorney General
Payne, who declares the word
ing Of present statutes leads to
evasion of the laws intent.
"Gafnful occupations" are
prohibited I'm South Dakota ON
Sundays, but no section Of the
statuteS defines Just what are
stgainful occupati0ns."
Therefore, base ball, motion
pictures, dancing, theaters,
boxing and various other things
that, dt is declared, the law was
designed to prohibit ON Sum
days, are made legal by lack
Of specification, according to
the attorney general.
Proponents Of q .sblae Sun.
day" i'm this state are eager to
ing session amend the blue
laws and enlarge their scope
30 that they may specifically
cover all forms of amusement
and commerce not ~absolately
essential.''
On the other hand, sentinent
appears to be developing In
favor OF the repeal of all blue
laws. Baekerss Of this prOposi
ton urge among their arEu
ments that the prohibition Of
Sunday base hail would mean
death Of the Soath Dakota
League.

COSTLY FEDERAL PLANT
SOON WILL BE AT WORK
Finishing Touches Being Put on
Helium Gas Establishment
at Fort Worth.

FORT WORTH, Tex, January s.
Finishing touches are being put on the
federal governments 100000 heliuna
gas plant, six miles north Of Fort
Worth, and operations on large scale
are expected to begin soon. This an
nouncement is made by Lieut. Griffin.
who is in charge. as the representative
of the Nevy Department. The last OF
the machinery was shipped to Fort
Worth before the first of the year.
Established An 1917 at a cost Of
$500, 600. the plant has been an expert
ment station thus far. But the worth
Of the gas and its economy for use by
the Navy and Army balloons have been
proved to the satisfaction Of military
experts.
In addition to the plant near Fort
Worth, the government also has con-
structed a private pipe line from Petro-
liza, which brings natural gas from
into the plant. After the argon quali-
ties, from which helfum is obtained,
have been extracted, the gas is returned
to the mains and burned by Fort Worth
and other consumers in northern Texas.
The argon or helium plant was erect
diers being, constantly maintained
around it until after the armist1ce.
Dupring war days admission was de-
MED to the public and only picked
workmen were employed.
The experiments. at the station had
been SO successful before the armistice
that it was predicted the use Of the
argon gas would speedily terminate the
conflict. However. no opportunity was
ever given Of testing it in battle.
The gas is non-inf1ammable and non
combustibIe. It's value was discovered
before the war. but the process of ex-
tracing it was then too costly to make
the gas practical. Government agents
have since perfected an economical
method.
The gas is shipped from Fort Worth
ders and loaded there aboard Navy De-
partment vessels for transportation to
balloon fields.

Inmates Sleep Four to a Bed
Under Leaky Roof,
Owen Says.

Immediate steps will be taken by
the public safety group of the City
Club to induce Congress to grant the
appropriation asked by the house of
detention for it's maintenance. Star
Ting disclosures of the condition and
equipment of the institution, which
has been only recently moved into the
OLD Emergency Hospital. were made
by Claude w. Owen, who has made an
extensive Investigation with members
of his committee.
A committee, consisting of Mr.. Owen
as chairman, DR.. Charles w. Cuth-
bertson and 3. J. Febrey. was ap-
pointed to visit leading members Of
the Senate District committee on
Monday and urge restoration of the
desired appropriation of $38, 240, which
was cut by the House down to $27 900.
Here are some of the conditions re-
vealed by Mr.. Owen in his report:
All of the beds are Of the single
type and frequently two. three and
four persons have to sleep in the
same bed. The springs sag SO much
that they almost touch the floor. and
Just few months ago there was ex-
actly one-half blanket for each bed.
Girls Have Two Mirrors.
The roof leaks. and when it rains
the inmates have to set buckets
around to catch the drip.
an inmates always at the institution
have to fight for two mirrors. There
is not single chair in the boys. de-
partment. There were once twelve
whole chairs in the dining room. but
as the number Of inmates is nearly
always more than twice this number,
the chairs have just naturally broken
down.
Two clerks work ten to twenty-four
hours a day. tend furnace on the side
and are offered the munif1cent salary
OF $1,000 q year each.
A supervisor, who is supposed to be
professional mother" to all of the
inmates and works about sixteen
hour9 a day, is offered $1,000 a year.
A cook. whose family varies from
ten to forty. day, is offered $500 a
year. and she has to teach the girl in
mates cooking on the side.
These conditions are APPALLING" seid
Mr.. Owen. when the institution was
moved to its present site, the old
Emergency Hospital building, $4,000
was appropriated for renovating the
building, but not O. cent was given for
equipment
Some Private Contrfbutions.
THE needs are so pressing that it
has been necessary to seek private
contributions to carry on the work.
It is q shame that the Commissioners
have to get down on their knees to
get Congress to appropriate a paltry
sum-"
"while these inmates are suffering
from lack Of equipment" said MIR.
Febrey, surplus supplies belonging
to the government are going to rot and
ruin in East Potomac Park. The gen.
eral supply committee and the War
Department have huge supplies Of
cots, mattresses, sheets apd blankets.
Yet governmental red tape prevents
plies
ut all emphasizes the need Of ma
tfonal representation for the District.
If we had our representatives. on the
hill we would get some consddera-
ton"
