All Are Keen
Over Their Jobs

In a certain ministry of supply
factory somewhere in England"
smiling women are operating giant
lathes and milling machines, bor-
ing. rifling and honing 3.7-inch
anti-aircraft guns, 25-pounder field
guns and 4-ineh- naval guns.
Other women operate giant
overhead travelling cranes.
d. They're keen as mustard about
their iobs-there was a woman
who had been a scullery maid
three days before; she was ham
ding a crane after II hours on
the job.
When an air raid alarm sounds,
she has TO slide down a rope from
her crane cab; like a fireman down
his brass pole.
All the women in this factory
have buried individuality in special
overallS and white caps. Crane
drivers wear special shoes without
nails, TO prevent any danger from
electric shock.
This particular factory was con-
ceived in October. 1899; came into

EXPAND Greatly

For security reasons, can't

tributive trades; about 100000
were making cars, trucks, cycles
and aircraft: about 100000 were
working in the metal trades. and
about 1900 were in agriculture.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Women
in England love scandal and gos-
SID. even in war. A few days ago
their tongues were wagging wildly
about the best scandal-murder
case that has shaken Britain n
years it came by cable from
Nairobi, Africa.
Lady Broughton. married less
than year, loved Lord Enroll, told
her husband. Then Lord Enrol was
found. shot to death, n his car,
near Nairobi. When Lord Enroll
was buried. Lord Delves Brough-
ton dropped on his coffin in its
open grave, a farewell note from
weman-hiS wife, Lady Brough-
ton.
The case was sizzling in Nairobi
courts when / was in London :.
and 1.-The women" of Britain were
forgetting the war in warm debate
about each new item as the trial
of Lord Broughton for murder pro-
crossed and then suddenly
Britain labor minister, Ernie
Bevin. changed their subject:
The young women of England
would be registered, first step to-
ward conscription of women for
vital war work, principally filling
shells in munitions factories Left

don's glamour girls being drafted.

pectant mothers, will be drafted.
For other mothers, the govern
ment will provide child" min
ders." Mothers and government
will share cost of 20c a day, or
SOC a day and night per child.
Mothers share is half.
Q-Any exemption for domes-
tic workers?
A-Not unless they work In
hospitals or in institutions. But
girls in colleges studying medi-
cine or engineering probably will
be exempt.
