 Governor Hurley said that Ma tional Employment Week, which began Sunday, is an appropriate time s'to tear down those barriers of color and religion and sex which still remain in some places as blots upon our national character" He said, also, that it is time for em- plOyers to reconsider prejudices against hiring men over 40 years of age.
 This coming December we shall have to have at least 17,000,000 pro ducing munitions of war for our front line forces besides the workers en- ployed in other fe1ds," the governor said. Tn this war, at least 20 Ameri- can men and women will have to work in factory, shop, mine and field to keep one soldier of freedom supplied"

 As usual this was respectfully referred to the statistician to answer. Getting busy with the records and allowing for the in- crease in population of the state it was found that the score was about even and that the sufferage amendment adopted in 1892, had resulted in no perceptible increase or decrease in the divorce rate.

@ Moves 10 Free
Materials Frozen in
Non-War Industries
New Order to Salvage
Millions Of Dollars
Worth of Vitul Items

The War Production Board
moved today to free for vital war
production hundreds of thous-
ands Of tons of critical materials
now frozen in inventories OF in
dustries which have been en-
gagged in non-essential work.
The new order, which affects
thousands of business concerns who
have materials worth hundreds of
millions of dollars, sets up uniform
rules governing the sale of idle in
ventories and removes specified
sales from existing regulations.
There is no specific estimate, it
was said, Of the amounts Of ma
terial which can be salvaged in this
way. The total is known to be ex-
tremely large, however, and In the
case Of copper alone, for example,
it Is believed that some 250,00 tons
can be freed by the new step.
An example of the simplified pro-
cedure under the new order is af-
forded by the case of q domestic
refrigerator manufacturer who had
on hand large stock of copper
tubing when further refrigerator
production was stopped. The tubing
was badly needed by a nearby firm
which was turning out tank as
semblies. Under terms of a pre-
vious order this critical material was
frozen and could not be transferred
without ofncial approval. Now, how
ever, such sale may be made with
out formalities of any kind.
War materials are reserved for
specified purchasers such as the
Army Navy and Maritime Commis
sion.
