serve during the national emergency as a guardian of women wage earn CTS and as a counselor to Uncle Sam in the development of ways and means to use their services most ef- Actively for war production but at the same time to prevent their em- ployment under injurious conditions. The aim was to focus attention of the importance of good employment conditions for women in influencing general work standards and in maintaining the welfare of the race.
 One of the questions following in the wake of Armistice Day, 1918. was the destiny of this four month old infant that had already made a real place for itself in Uncle Sam S family. Should it be choked off with the cessation of war and the gradual adjustment of men and women la borcrs to the time program?
 During the succeeding months of transition the services of this young est child in the labor department seemed essential for strengthening out the whole labor situation. At the end of that period the young but effective agency had so proved it's worth that there arose a demand from many groups throughout the country that is be allowed 10 live and grow. An increasing realization of the need to safeguard the inter- csts of wage earning women in times Of peace as well as war led congress in June. 1920. to convert this ser vice into a permanent organization to be known as the Women's Bu- rcGu.
 War Aided Women Workers
 On the original Armistice Day this agency could point to what woman labor had done for the World War. Now after twelve years the bureau has better perspective on what the World War did for woman labor.
 Some gains can be counted. The war undoubtedly opened up greater opportunities for. and uncovered new capabilities of, women workers. It broke down certain barriers and stripped away most Of the thick padding of tradition as 10 what wage earning women could or should do. It brought to some wom- CT special training in occupations requiring a high degree of skill, which they would not otherwise have found possible. But women. having entered such skilled industri- al fields, have managed to hold their

MORE CHECKING
DOES NOT CHANGE
ELECTION RESULT
Candidates For Superin-
tendcnt And Coroner
Split Palo Verde Vote.

More checking and rechecking
today failed to make any change
from the final results announced
yesterday in the contest for county
superintendent Of schools and coun-
ty coroner.
Palo Verde the only precinct
missing from Yesterdays totals,
was tabulated today. Oddly enough
there was a tie vote On the candi-
dates for superintendent and on
the candidates for coroner. Moth
ing could be more indicative of the
voting throughout the county on
these two offices than the Palo
verde result.
Adding six votes received from
Palo Verde to Collins total as an
nounced yesterday, makes his final
total ASST. Mrs. Watts also re-
ceived six votes, bringing her total
to 4458, Collins maintaining his
lead of SO votes.
For coroner, DR. F w. Peterson
received five votes in Palo Verde,
making his total 5256 and A. r.
Underwood also received five votes,
bringing his total to 1926, or lead
of 40 votes.
Any future changes in these to-
tails will doubtless be announced by
the board of supervisors when the
vote is canvassed. Newspapers Of
the valley have checked and revised
until the mention of election figures
is enough to drive any scribe wild.
The supervisors will start the Of
ficial canvass of the vote next Mon
day. Absent voters ballots will be
received by the county clerk up to
and including November l8
Until the official canvass IS COM
pleted, the result OF the balloting
