ELECTRICITY HELD
BOON TO WOMEN
British Delegate to Power
ParIey Calls 1t Great
Emancipation.

Electricity is ''the greatest emanci-
patton force in the history Of woman"
in the opinion of Miss Caroline Haslett
Of England, one Of the two woman
members of the Third World Power
Conference now in session here.
Miss Haslett's biography contains
an imposing list of titles and honors,
the most significant of which is "di-
rector of the Electrical Association for
Women, Inc" This organization, con-
. trolled by women rather than electrical
Arms, seeks to promote the use of elec-
trical appliances In the home, simply
to relieve housewives and domestic
servants from household drudgery.'
I'VE are determined that electricity
shall be exploited for the. service OF
mankind. rather than for financial
reasons" Miss Haslett declared today.
And the electrical firms have begun
to cooperate with us now, though It
was little difficult at first"
Indirectly, the association, which has
5000 members, is an outgrowth Of the
fact that Caroline Haslett, as a girl,
couldn't learn the domestic arts.
Brought up in the country, where
laundry and other tedious household
tasks were done by women, she de-
veloped a dislike for seeing the same
work done over day after day.
Unable to adapt herself to the edu-
cation prescribed for women, she
eventually became an apprentice in
an engineering firm, where she made
good. Later, as secretary Of the Wom-
ems Engineering Society in England
she began to realize that electricity
should be made to do the domestic
work she had rebelled against.
In 1925 she organized" the Elec-
trical Association for Women and, as
its lone member, set out to interest
English housewives in electricity.
Several years ago the association.
which believes electricity should offer
q profession for women, organized q
course-partly domestic. partly tech
nical-to equip English women to dem
onstrate electrical domestic appliances
and to act as advisers in their use
The associations latest project is to
train house servants in the use of ap-
pliances.
In recognition Of her work through
the association, Miss Haslett received
the decoration CT Commander of the
Order of the British Empire from the
late King George. and was accepted
as companion member of the Insti-
tuition of Electrical Engineers.

A 21-year-old girl who gets kick
out Of shopping, but can't afford to
do as much of it as she'd like, has
solved the problem by setting herself
up as a professional "buyer-for- people

months ago to a Government ac-

Fun, Service and Cash.
"I've always liked to buy things"
she said today, but I've never had
enough money to get all the things
I've wanted. With lot of people, it's
just the opposite-they've got the
money, but they consider shopping a
terrible nuisance. And I figured that
If I could get together with some OF
those people, I could render them a
service, have a heap of fun and, at
the same time, pick up a little
extra cash."

The design is not simple but is or

depth and in it are number of beau

finds that 1t is good. He translates
his vision Of it to canvas that has
vitality and opulence. For him life is

painting Is tribute to good earth I"

position, Caemmerer said he feels sure
the commission will take stand SIM
liar to that it did some years ago
when it objected strenuously to erec-
ton of an abattoir in the vicinity Of
Arlington National Cemetery.
"The commission said that no
slaughter house should be erected m
the Greater Washington area and it
would certainly be opposed to en-
largement of this project" he added.
'It would be disgrace to have a
large establishment, such as this, at
one of the main entrances to the
city"
Caemmerer recalled that when the
Arlington abattoir program was be-
