WOMEN MACHINE
 OPERATORS MANY
WeII-ROunded Industrial Intelligence Programs
 for Them Advocated

Women and girls operate more machines of various types in the home, factory, office and conlinuni- ty than are operated by men and boys. Despite this fact many schools still fail to provide a satisfactory program of activities to give girls a Well-royrided industrial intelligence.
 MariS M. Proffitt, U. s. Office of Education Consultant and Specialist in Industrial Education. made this statement today. He said, "Women purchase, use, and care for the great variety of industrial products found in the modern home. Approximately one-third of all automobile drivers in our country are women. About IA percent of all persons gainfully em- ployed in manufacturing and me- chanical industries before the de- fense. program was launched were women. Yet the school program lags when 1t comes to providing girls and women with knowledge usefufl to them in adjusting themselves to their industrial environment"
 How some public school indus trial arts programs are being adap- ted and expanded to meet the needs of girls and young women for in- formation and experiences related to home and community activities and interests are reviewed by Dr. Proffitt in U. S. Office of Educa- ton pamphlet report on Trends in Industrial Arts" He points out that among activities in certain indus trial arts classes appealing to girls are: House planning, use of electri- city in the home, home mechanics, art jewelry. creameries, wood finish ing, photography, and consumer ed- ucation.

ers Hope Tanks Will Be As "Gentlemanly' As British
Colony Orphaned Really Skipper

British troops on the island, which has a population of only 119,O00, na- turally has posed problems for its domestic economy. And, although Britain is now taking a far greater share of the tiny country'S commod- ities-chiefly sheep, fish and their ny-products--to make up for mar kets now closed, Iceland credits are virtually frozen in sterling.
 But Captain Bjornsson insists that relations between Icelanders and Britshers have been cordial. This is due, he emphasized, to the fine de- pertinent of most of the British troops. GERMAN TOURISTS"
 VISITED ICELAND
 Gardar Gislason, one of Iceland's major importer-exporters who is also in the U. S., agreed. He denied stcrles that natives are so resentfui towards England that Iceland girls who date" Q Tommy have their hair shaved of by angry islanders.
 German tourists" had been viGit- ing Iceland in great numbers before the war began. and the Reich at- tempted from time to time during the last few years to establish air bases there.
 But Mir. 0islason said a great nia- Jority of his people favored Britain in the war.
 'We have . tradition Of inve of liberty" he declared. we've had it ever since Norwegian chlegtains eet- tied in Iceland ln the ninth century to escape the tyranny of Harold FaiFhalF. We are the worlds oldest democracy, you know.

Keep America Out of War Aim ofAmerican Mothers
IEngland's Centuries of Abusive Treatment of Helpless Irish Recalled as Answer to Defend Americas Committee Propaganda"
 Meeting Tonight

The regular meeting of the Moth- CTS of American Sons will be held this evening at the Hotel Elton at sharp; all members are asked to be present and on time. An invi- tation also is extended to every mother in the city of Waterbury to join the organization and help fight all the propaganda that is trying to drag our country into another of Europe's never-ending wars.
 The Mothers of American Sons have been doing their bit to save our feedom and independence and the boys they have shown that they love. Since September 19, 1889, they have. been fighting the big gest monied war machine in the world. The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies IS g committee which has changed its name many times since the war be- gan and which the Mothers of American Sons know only too well their real names (War Mongers) people who place our country and the lives of our sons second to Eng land. "Once an Englishman al- ways an Englishman". Not like the Mothers of American sons, Americans first, last, and always, regardless of their nationality, color or creed.
 At this moment would like to express my sincerest thanks to the very fine American who so nobly answered Miss Elizabeth Curtis in regard to the great race of people who helped Washington fight the Tories ot l776-18l2 and the only race of people who can take 1t on the chin, a race of people who love America perhaps better than any other race because of the torture they have undergone at the hands of the British. I wonder, Miss Curtis, If you have ever read the History of Ireland? I doubt 1t, for If she had she would be a little bit more careful. I also want her to understand that there Is an Old Irish saying that every knock in this world is only a boost, and as that great American wrote in his answer to her, that she surely has not drop of American blood to spill, should our country be drawn into this war. I need not mention this great American as he is very well known to every one in the state of Connecticut for his great fight to help save America and my hat is off to Edward J. Ryan. More power to you, MT. Ryan. Don't let anyone down the greatest race on earth, the Irishlll
 Miss Curtis, let's take a peek at history and see how the Holy Bri- tish treated Catholic Ireland. Let's go back to 1850 when Ireland's Armies were no more. Cromwell had struck death-blow to the old aristocratic Irish state. The stage
