Suitable Jobs, With Proper Training,
Urged To Make Most Efficient Use
OF Women In Defense Industry Setup

for Effective Use of Women in Defense Program
Advocate Increased Health Safety Measures.

the effects of such standards are pre-
sented in the report.
Lengthening of Hours Opposed
Training for jobs and employment
policies should be adjusted to women's
needs, the report also recommends.
women should be trained for those
jobs in defense industries for which
experience has shown women to be
fitted, and also for other new jobs
suited to their physique" it is pointed
out.
Stressing the value of maintaining
for women the 8-hour day with two 10
minute rest periods, and the 40-hour
week, the report warns against eff
fort to speed up production by means
of longer hour schedules or overtime.
Industrial history during the last
World War and since proves that this
is a short-sighted policy and that
moderate working hours lead to in
creased production and better quality
of goods, conserve the workers ener-
gies, and enable them to produce
steadily under pressure over long
period"
AS illustrative of increase in pro-
duction through shortening of hours,
the hllIetin cites the case of the
United States Government Printing
Office. After changing to a 5-day
week of 40 hours in 1882 this agency
found production per employe had in
creased from to 10 per cent and that
the daily output was greater than in
the 51a- day week of Al hours.

Company Asked $4,000

Last February 27 the Sheffield driv-
ers called a one-strike against the
company, charging that three union
members had been wrongfully dis
charged. The company, asserting that
the strike was in violation of contract,
said that the walkout had cost it
$4,000 in lost business, spoiled milk,
and extra expense, and demanded pay
ment of that sum by the union.
Both sides agreed to submit the
question of violation of contract to
Chairman Meyer. He decided the
union had broken it's contract and as
sessed the union $4,000, at the same
time urging the company, in the in
terest of friendly relations with it's
employees, to accept $4,000 in full set
tlement of the claim.
First Big Award Against Union
Meyers award is said to be the first
time in this country that an arbiter
has awarded an employer substantial
damages against union for violation
of contract.
In announcing the company's deci-
sion to accept $4,000, President Van
Bomel commented as follows:
"The award of Chairman Meyer es-
tablishes the fact that parties to
contract are held responsible for that
contract. In assessing damages of
only $4,000 for this violation of con-
tract it was further suggested by Mr..
Meyer that we accept half that amount
as means of promoting better feel
ing between workers and employers.
Although the full sum, as indicated in
the arbitrator's opinion, is less than
the actual damages suffered by the
company, we have informed Mr.. Meyer
that we will accept this recommends
tion and the payment of $4,000"

Health and safety measures for

the job, good plant sanitation, prac-
tical work clothing, moderate hours of
work to prevent excessive fatigue un-
dermining to work and worker, and
sufficient wages to cover living essen

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - Jobs
suited to women and women trained
for jobs is the keynote of effective use
of women working on the national de-
fense program, sounded in Special
Bulletin No. 1 of the Women's Bureau,
u. S. Department of Labor, just off
the press.
Efficient production, where women
are involved, calls for their employ
ment at jobs they can do well, under
safe working conditions, and with
sound labor policies" Miss Mary An
derson, the bureaus director said,
"Women can do many jobs as well as,
if not better than, men, but it is not
the aim to have women replace men.
We urge that women as well as men
in need of employment be given op-
portunities for work in the program
of expendade production"

GlOrifing Yourself
ny Alicia WaEs

At this time of year most weight- worriers decide to lay aside their calory charts. ignore their diet rules and go ahead and eat, drink and be merry during the holiday season.
 Which is probably just as well. Offhand, it's hard to think of any- thing more irfuriating to Christ mas hostess than a guest who will eat the goose but not the trimmings and pass up the rnince pie entirely. Go Ahead and Stuff Then Diet
 And any woman, however lovely her figure, would sound pretty sil- ly while saying, "We'll have good food, but light food. Whats the sense in stuffing ourselves over Christmas and then having to diet like mad afterward?"
 Christmas without Christmas dir- 1er would be like Christmas with out @ tree. There's plenty of sense stuffing- and in doing all the other seemingly silly things that are part and parcel of the holiday season. Let's do our dieting an January a pretty dull month anyway.
 Let's get our new permanent waves before Christmas instead of immediately afterwards. Not only will we look prettier but our hair will be less bothersome, thereby leaving more time for fun.
 Let's manage someway to get an adequate amount of sleep between now and the holidays. Otherwise, we won't be good-natured every second of every day.
 Be Wary of Evening Makeup
 And let's experiment a little with evening makeup before the Christi mas dances and New Years parties. If we can't wear eye makeup with out feeling self-conscious, let's not wear it at all.
 If experience has shown that we can't keep our hair up during an entire evening, let's not try again until after the holidays. Christmas is no time for any woman to spend fretting about her hair, her make up or her figure.

STATE

Ending tonight at the Warner Bros. State theater is Trail of the vigilantes" starring Franchot Tone; and on the same big show is "A Night At Earl Carroll's" with Ken Murray, Lillian Cornell, Brenda and Cobina of radio fame and a host of other favorites.
 Topping the town for screen en- tertainment is the action packed drama of the west "Texas Rangers Ride Again" which opens a three day engagement at the State to- morrow afternoon as the headliner of the giant weekend show.
 Boosting a cast of notable play CTS including John Howard, Ellen Drew, Broderick Crawford, Akim Tamiroff, May Robson and Charley Grapewin, the film tells the story of what happens when couple of modern Texas Rangers collide with a ruthless gang of present-day cat- tie rustlers. The result is furious &C., ton and swift gunplay, with Ranger John Howard and Rancher Ellen Drew carrying on a rapid-fire TO- nance.
 The story is said to be one of the cleverest Westerns ever written and abounding in lusty dialogue and novel situations. The fact that such an impressive cast was assembled can be taken as evidence that the picture must carry powerful punch.
 Briefly it concerns itself with the mysterious disappearance of cattle from the vast White Sage Ranch, whose owner, May Robson; in an- other of the characterizationS that have made her a screen favorite for years, appeals to the Texas Rangers to halt the cattle rustling. Rangers John Howard and Broderick Craw- ford as six-shooter sIeuthS on horse back, respond, and eventually solve the mystery of cattle which dis appear without leaving trace. The solution comes only after series of swift-paced action sequences de- signed for tense drama and thrills and romance between Ranger Howard and lovely, spitfire Ellen Drew, as May Robson's grand daughter.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present the Unhappy hit "Margie" which boasts such favorite funsters as Mischa Auer, Edgar Kennedy, Allen Jenkins, Eddie Quillan and Wany Vernon, Tom Brown and Nan Grey share the romantic roles.

 Five per cent of the total number of mental detectives are of the group or type called Mongolian idiots. They are so called because they bear superficial resemblance to the Mongolian race. Mentally Mongoloids grade from the idiot class (nentality of normal two- year-old child up to the lower limits of the moron (mentality of a normal twelve-year-old child). They are placid, affectionate, harmless, active easily managed. They are generally initiative. Few of them live longer than twenty-five years; most of them die early in life from one or another respiratory infection, and nearly all of them have constantly recurring catarrhal troubles or at- tacks of cri.
 The Mongolian resemblance is in the face. The head is micro-brachy- cephalic - micro meaning small, brachycephalic meaning short from front to back-American Indians, Malays and Burmese have short breads. Dolichophelic is the term meaning long headed = Eskimos, Kaffirs, zulus, Australians and Fi- jians-have long heads. The Mongo- Han idiot has small slanting eyes, flat depressed nose, short stumpy hands with spreading tapered fling CTS, little finger usually short and incurbed, wide gap between great toe and second toe. The eyes are generally inflamed and the lids somewhat everted.
 No one knows the cause of Mon golism. Certainly there is no req son to suspect any family or herit- able defect or shortcoming has any, thing to do with 1t. It may occur in any family regardless of the purity of the blood of all known

forebears.
 Once, when commenting on the condition an editorial columnist, in his omniscent way, opined that .it is doubtless atavism, or a throw back to some early Mongolian graft in the family tree. Such halfbaked comment encourages even less well informed people to cherish the fal- lacy of atavism or throwback in the human family. Of course there is no first hand evidence that such a thing ever happens-every legend or yarn narrating an occurance of this kind is second hand or hearsay and you have to take 1t on that basis or reject it as a fable, accord ing to your credulity or malice in the circumstances.
 There is no known treatment or remedy of any value for Mongolian idiocy. Far better for the welfare of the child and the happiness oi the family if the childhood training and care of the idiot is in charge of experts in that field of educa- ton, in an institution expressly equpped for the purpose.
