V women? Women who
want to earn money or who are
forced by circumstances to sup
port themselves, and have no
idea how to go about it.
In any stable city such a
school probably would enroll
200 students on the first day.
Glasses would be in simple
bookkeeping and budgeting,
cooking, housekeeping, person
al appearance and cleanliness,
order, sewing, selling in shops,
serving in tea rooms and beauty
shops and dentists Offices and a
score of other lines that would
help women to become useful
and self-supporting - and Incl
dentally infinitely happier citi-
zenS.
Hard Test of Character.
But women Of 40 and older, essay
ing real work for the first time,
after 20 or more years of being their
own mistresses and arranging their
own hours, are not often ready to
take jobs on terms equal to those
girls get. Girls are brisk, smart,
modern, clean. Yes, clean.
A woman employer of hundreds Of
women told me that one great trou-
BILE with older women is that they
don't observe personal hygiene
which in plain English, is that
they don't battle daily. Their cloth
ing isn't fresh and dainty.
Then they are apt to be sensitive,
suspicious and resentful. To be or
dered about, at SIS, by a girl exactly
half ones age, is hard test of
character. But many woman, if
she could have met that test with
sweetness and amiability, would be
in good job today.
Complaining at great length of the
change in her fortunes, and going
over the head of the Office manager
with complaints to the higher boss,
are only two OF the things that
make the employment Of older wom-
en- risky. Higher bosses haven't
time today to listen while the Wild
ow Of some old friend, coming smil-
ingly into the Office, proceeds to tear
the entire organization of the mail
order department to pieces.
A Pickle Made Her Rich.
One woman, who is now rich be-
cause of certain pickle she put on
the market, took a cooks Job at
$35 a month II years ago. At 43
she went humbly into a younger
woman's household, experimental
in canning and picking for the bene-
fit Of the family, sold few jars Of
this and that to friends, found her
market, and won success. She says
that she went to work to save a
devoted son and his burdened wife
and small family the extra care Of
Ma" It is satisfaction to her now
to be putting the two older sons Of
that son through college.
And there are hundreds of such
women, revealing in modest sue
cesses, glorying in their work, for
getting that they are getting old and
that the children have flown away
to live their own lives. One woman
developed-from one Ascent apron
a great factory that makes hundreds
Of aprons every year.
Scores Of women have learned
how to manage roadside eating
places and have prospered because
Of the simple truth that we, in Amer
lea, eat nearly 400, 000, 900 meals

Civilians in Navy
To GET WorId's
Comfortable Gas Mask
New Design Permits
Certain Glamour for
Feminine Weurers

The hghtest and most comfort
able gas mask yet devised soon will
be distributed to all employees Of
the United States Navy and is
expected to be the prototype of
the mask generally used by Amer
lean civilians in case Of war.
1t is far snappier bit of apparel
for street wear than the masks Of
any of the European countries.
Sailors, it was reported, have
played entire nine-inning baseball
games, wearing the new masks,
without discomfort.
The principle of all gas masks is
that the breath is inhaled through
filter Of charcoal treated with
various chemicals. The exact COM
position is secret. This charcoal
must be contained in a tin canis-
ter. Usually this is either in front
of the mouth or contained in an
attached can.
The new American civilian mask
differs from all others in that it
has two canisters, exceptionally
light and fiat, which are worn over
the cheeks They are ga inches in
diameter and about 4 inch thick.

that the wearer cannot talk easily.

Reminder of Peril

Verne Anderson. II year old
former Cooley High Schoolboy. has
a toothache today.
That seems TO be about all the
aftermath for the 6-foot. "a inch

Verne was trying TO put a scat

on the flood lights of the 35-foot
sign.

Labor Crisis

Sidney Hillman, co-director of
the Office of Production Manage
ment, is coming to Detroit this
week to personally observe and
Investigate the labor situation here
which he considers the gravest in
the country at the present time.
This was revealed today by Ed
Thai, cretary of the Detroit
Building Trades Council (AFL),
who said that Hillman had re-
quested a meeting with the council
at 1890 p. m. Friday in the Tuller
Hotel.
CURRIER PROBLEM
Thai said that the chief subject
of discussion would probably be
the bid by the p. ]. Currier Lum-
Der Company on a defense housing
project, which brought a threat
from the AFL to call a nationwide
halt of defense construction if the
|Currier Company is granted the
contract.
The AF'L has opposed the Cur
rier bid because Currier recently
signed a contract with the United
Construction Workers Organizing
Committee (CIO) covering all OF
his employees.
Hillman has opposed granting
the contract TO Currier, because he
said it would be contrary to the
