WOMAN,S REALM
HALF OF AMERICA'S ABLE WOMEN SEEN
 DOING WAR WORK INSIDE OF 16 MONTHS

war agencies are ready to use women in 65 per cent of the spe- cialized personnel jobs, and that private industry should use as many.
 There's a similar story in the profegsions-law. medicine, pulp liz administration, writing, eco- monies, and, above all, socie1 work ranging from child guidance to public health administration Leading women's colleges are ex- banding their courses to train girls for these vacations. The gov ernment is making loans to stu dents to keep them in training.
 In all fields, Miss McKelvey be- lieves about 17,600.000 women will be employed by the end of 1943. HOUSEWIVES WILL
 BE KEY WORKERS
 Besides those. competent au- thorities forecast, millions of women with homes and families will be trained volunteers" = that is, college and specially trained for work with paid profess s.onals, in child care, health, hospi- tai and other civilian services work
 Business and industrial publica- tions are full of comment on this picture - of women working away from home. and especially of women working 10th outside and at home. One business journal remarks that since married women make better outside workers than single ones, but will not slight fam fly and home-making responsibility maybe 1t would be better adjust working hours to their schedules.
 However, if Uncle Sam doesn't get hoped-for response to his appeals for volunteers you can look for an early enforced registration of wo- man-poWer.
 If you want job, or want to shift from non-essent'al to an essential job, you should register with the closest U. s. Employment Office. There are hundreds of them scattered over the country. They will send you to an avail able job, or they will route you to vocational training course. Look the offices up in the telephone book, or ask your local War Council where the nearest one is.
 In two months you can learn to Le diesel -dinkey operator, a fin- sticker, a heel-kick installer. If you insist on something fancy like sheet-tester or static-balancer or strictly legal dope-mixer - those call for one to two-year training pulls.

Household Hints
BY MARGUERITE YOUNG NEA Service Stan Writer

New York-Are you in some sort of war work? If not, you soon may be- whether you know 1t now or not.
 Here are two signs of what's cooking:
 First, business experts predict that within the next IS months, one out of every two women be- tween 18 and 65 will go to a job in essential war productions: on the farms, in the assembly lines and especially the offices and lab- oratories of industries and mili- tary establishments, and in vital civilian services like war agencies. WANT ALL WOMEN
 TO TRAIN NOW
 Second, Uncle Sam is now ask ing women to find their places for the big shift. The U. s. Man. power Commission in Washington and the U. S. Employment Service offices all over the country are mo- bil'zing men and women. They want some of both for jobs now open, and they want both to regis OSl dAAA u eL1Ll 1lOW 6lo 4CoClN
 They are especially concerned with getting good enrolment from housewives who have no other work than what they do around the home. What the irdi- vidual should do varies with her qualifications, her family and her locality. Thus:
 1. Women who want war jobs, who are trained, and who live in undermanned production centers like Baltimore, Seattle, and the state of Connecticut, are asked to apply for work now
 2. Women everyN ere who want war job, but lack training for it. are asked to register voluntarily and start training now for places which will open later.
 3. Women who neither expect nor want a job outside of home are asked to help and persuade the men in their families to regis ter, train, and get routed now for essential production. Sons and | husbands in non- essential iots are expected to move, and will gain by acting now.
 Who can do what, and what does it give?
 Business men and government experts have been studying those questions for some time. They draw a picture very different from that of women in World War I.
