Women in Industry

Secretary of Labor Perkins points
to 1889 civil service examinations to
show how women excel in some jobs.
Of $4,000 appointments made that
year 1870 went to women, she said
Fewer women than men took the
exams for technical and professional
jobs, but in many cases more women
than men passed. For consultant to
public assistant 153 men and 201
women were examined. Of these
only 18 men came through, with 73
women passing.
Not only here, but in England's war
work is the fitness and ability of
women being demonstrated. Added to
World War WAACS and WRENS are
the auxiliaries to the air force and
the navy, where women are doing
amazing work. And of course they
are again at work in the munitions
plants, where they do the identical
work formerly performed by men.
In war work in every line women
have demonstrated their capacity and
also their heroism. Women are en-
ployed in highly technical jobs, as
well as in the nursing and cooking
jobs SO long through their special
field.

For Better HOmemaking


If ceilings are extremely low, ex-
tend the wallpaper all the way up to
the ceiling. Narrow striped paper
adds to the illusion of height. Cell
ings that are too high will not seem
SO disproportionate if the ceiling color
is brought down onto the side walls
18 or 20 inches.
If your table doilies and runners
look washed out, try tinting them
some delicate shade to harmonize with
your china. Light green makes de-
lightful ground for ivory or yellow
china. For very smart effect dye it
brilliant red or blue and use with gay
fowered breakfast sets.
Since there is strong trend to-
wards Regency period in decoration
why not try purple for the color key
note of Regency living room. The
walls and carpet are midnight purple
and the draperies are in deep blue
corduroy. These furnish an excellent
background for yellow corduroy fur
niture coverings, yellow glass cur
tains, white lamps, and large gold
mirror frames.

1898 was approximately 1900 600
tons. Certain statisticians estimate
that the civil and military consump-
ton of petroleum and related prod
ucts in Germany amounts to ap-
proximately 10000 tons a year.
Others argue that the wartime re-
strictions on non-essential Use of
petroleum brings this consumption
down. But I think everybody will
agree that consumption cannot be
less now than in 1898, so prefer to
use that figure.
"On this basis, we find that the
internal production from crude oil,
liquefaction of coal and benzol
amounts to approximately $500, 900
tons, or so per cent Of their min
imum needs. Production in Poland
and Hungary approximately 1000
tons per day, or 10000 tons.
Rumanian Supply Reduced.
'The picture in Rumania is un-
certain. Treaty arrangements give
Germany the right to buy about
1,600, 900 tons from that country.
The blockade forces them to trans
port this by barge up the Danube
or by rail. The freezing Of the
Danube was extremely severe this
past winter and there were extern
sive breakdowns in rail shipments.
Both these factors cut down the
movement Of supplies and I don't
believe the Germans will be able
to get as much as 1000 900 tons Of
oil out of Rumania this year.
But to keep looking at the most
formidable side Of the picture, Ger
many has available to it q grand
total of 6.162 900 tons of oil as
against q minimum requirement Of
800 900 tons.
The transportation problem
makes Russian oil unavailable to
the Germans In any material
quantities.
Thus the picture shapes up this
way: The Germans are shy on their
minimum requirements in the
neighborhood Of 100000 tons Of
oil. Therefore, the moment the re-
serve stocks-to which can be added
the 1900, 900 tons from the captured
countries-have been consumed,
Germany will be desperate for petro-
leum. II the estimate Of an annual
consumption Of $1,000, 900 tons for
the Nad bntzkrieg machine is cor
rect then Germany will be In bad
shape very quickly"
