Has Visited States
From Coast to Coast.
In recent months, Mrs. White
hurst has visited more than half the
States from coast to coast, and the
federation she heads is the worlds S
largest womens organization.

tude. SO We have our night clubs,
our country clubs and our movies
dlled."
On q recent visit to the West
Coast, Mrs. Whitehurst said she saw
her first evidence of people really
aware Of the peril to the nation.
But even there, she said, many
men and women leaders felt that
the women weren't doing enough.
Sees Women Confused
On Real War Service
Women generally are still con-
fused as to what war service is, she
believes.
And we still have those who are
interested only In spectacular ef-
forts" she added
Perhaps the best definition of war
service. Mrs. Whitehurst suggests,
would be to say that If every woman
did the work she was best equipped
to do, but did more of it more in
tensively, she would be making her
best contribution to the war effort.
That women with children should
not leave their homes without ade-
quate provision for the care of the
children is a point on which the
federation president places special
emphasis.
To the mother of three youngsters
who recently asked what war work
she could do, Mrs. Whitehurst re-
piled: GO home and look after
those children"
She recognizes, however, that
there are many cases where 1t is
necessary for mothers to leave their
homes during the day. So she
strongly urges women to work for
nurseries for younger and supervised
recreation for older children.
She also stresses the importance
at this time OF work In such fields
rs agriculture, consumer relations
and conservation.
Il have a friend" she related,
who does q magnificent Job of
canning-and becomes i'll at the
sight Of blood. But she's trying to
do nursing to help win the war.
Considers Advisability
OF Drafting the Young.
You see. women aren't thinking
1t out for themselves"
Mrs. Whitehurst also is giving
special thought these days to the
question of drafting young people
Tor war service while they are still
IN their teens.
She doesn't expect her own ideas
10 prove popular. But If It's going

boys at II or 18, she believes. Then
they should be called into active
service at about 19-but after the
most adequate training
High schools also should add to
their curriculums such subjects as
are necessary for military service,
she continues. And, in both the
elementary and Junior high schools,
intensive training should be given
in calisthenics.
Many lives would be saved. she
believes, If formula were followed
which would prepare young boys for
military duty long before they were
called into active service.

counteracting measures. Mrs. Roth told the local attorneys that Hart ford and Bridgeport had shown the greatest lumber of increases in misdemeanorS and felonies. New Haven has shown no appreciable in- crease.
 Attorney Albert Marks, who will direct the survey in Hartford, in- troduced Mrs. Roth, who will be assisted i.l the state survey by Dr. John Whiting of the Yale Institute of Human Relations and by pr. Selden D. Bacon, also of Yale Uni versity.
 The study will begin February l and will continue for five weeks, at Which time approximately 5000 cases will have been covered, &C., cording to Mrs. Roth. It is estim- ated that this cross-section will fur nish an accurate picture of all minor court cases disposed of in the state for the year. All arrests will be registered except parking violations, and the completed sur vey will answer such questions as how many of those arrested were transient or defense workers and what effect the overcroWding of rcoming houses and the lack of recreatIonal opportunities in de- fense areas has had on crime.
 Thirty prisoners in the New Haven county jail have been ques- toned in preliminary survey, ac- cording to Mrs. Roth, and all have been cooperative. It was explained that names would not be used, and that the survey was being made to help authorities cope with Still an other phase of the state defense problem.
