She's getting the chance now. She is one

has been masculine stronghold, teaching
that supposedly most masculine of careers,

and technicians. Perhaps particularly for its
technicians, because our modern Army is TAX
ing men technicians at a tremendous rate.
Obviously all this means another forward
surge of women into places of leadership and
productivity. 1t means women moving from
the bridge tables to the drafting tables. 1t
means women not only tending machines in
factories, but designing machines and building
factories. 1t means, in short, the forced break
down of the last barrier of prejudice against
working women in labor-hungry America.
News
ALREADY more than two and half million
women are working in war industries in this
country. But what's really news is the in
vasion of the innermost male sanctums by
girls like these l3 at Stevens.
The government had been underwriting
the defense training course at Stevens for
about year before it was decided to try a
few women. The requirement for boys had
been that they be high-school graduates with
certain special qualifications. The three
months hurry-up course is designed to fit the

girls in jobs they once restricted to men.
At New York University picked women
with aviation experience are training beside
Army and Navy men to be weather forecasters.
Authorities estimate that 1S men are need
ed to keep each soldier of our modern Army
equipped and armed. Eighteen men on
women. At least one-tenth of these behind
the-line soldiers must be technically trained,
either as graduate engineers or as technicians
- craftsmen, engine testers, laboratory work
ers. Many more must be skilled workers with
some technical training.
w HAVE known for long time, of course
that women c0n do important technical work
Exceptional women have been doing it for
years. Ruth Wallgren of Westinghouse Elec-
tric, for instance, who, among other things
has helped design a Navy destroyer. And
Mary Elizabeth Miller of the Glenn Martin
organization, who furnishes specifications for
newly-designed airplanes. And Margaret
Ingels of the Carrier Corporation, whose
knowledge of air conditioning is now being
applied to war factories
could name Others. But, even so, they
have been exceptions Now their ranks are
to be swelled to legion
The Womens Bureau of the Department
of Labor tells me that in some industries as
many as rs per cent of the jobs may be han
died by women. That means women in all
kinds of jobs, from top to bottom.
AS for the all-important routine jobs, in
dustries are training women to fill them. too
They will operate machines, work on the
assembly lines. In many communities, similar
training is being given right in the factory
to fit women for local jobs.
How to get these jobs? Look first the War
Production Board urges, in your own COM
munity. The local and state employment
agencies know where training classes are
being held, where jobs are available. Young
women qualified for the advanced courses,
such as engineering. can get their best in
formation from their nearest state or engi-
neering colleges
So let's get to work, us women of America,
at whatever task best fits us. The door is open
to US now. If we have superior abilities, we
don't have to be satisfied any longer merely
to roll bandages or learn to change spark
plugs. We can do just as much, in this war
effort, as we are capable of doing.
We can and must.

Golf courses are notorious for CHG
gers.
One way the modern golfer keeps them
off is to wear shorts.
This is not just the vogue. but has
been found a practical means of lessen
ing the chigger menace.
1t seems that chiggers like best an
eXpanSe of skin beneath cloth of some
sort.
We believe that the reason ticks get
on the hair at the back of the neck is
| that they are brushed off as the victim
goes underneath
When one is walking in the woods, or
fields, there Is always some brush or
other beneath which one must push.
Ticks also drop off low-hanging boughs
of trees.
While it is true that only a small per-
centage of these insects are infected
with Rocky Mountain fever, it is equally
true that you cannot tell the harmless
ticks from harmful ones by looking at
them
The only thing to do is to regard them
all as carriers.
Young ticks are colorful brown
somewhat resembling the reddish brown
OF the feathers on the back of the wood
thrush.
When tick gets gorged with blood
1t assumes a much larger appea rance,
and becomes a nasty pale gray color,
1t cannot be stressed too much that
ticks-these are dog ticks. of course, and
spend one part of their existence on
dogs-should never be touched with the
hands
They must be removed either with a
bit of paper or tWeezers. A drop Of
kerosene or turpentine is said to be a
good preliminary. The drop, of course,
on the tick.
Tick inspection is a good daily proce-
dure among all persons, especially chill
dren, who are active in woods, fields and
vacant lots.
The family dog and cat, also. should
be given A daily inspection. Ticks are
not so likely TO attach themselves TO
| cats. but are to be found upon them on
| occasion.
! Dogs love to burrow through weeds
/ and bushes For that reason they often
! come home with several ticks attached
to their hides.
| The same precautions in removal must
be observed with dogs as with humans.
The dog and cat flea is another sum-
mer pest which this year is far ahead
of normal schedule, owing TO the un-
| timely hest.
Care should be taken to def1ea all
household pets, not only for the sake
OF the animals. but also for the sake
of such persons in the house as may be
susceptible. These f1eas will bite only
about one out of every ten persons, but
such a victim suffers severely.

County physicians say that addi-
tions now planned at the Washing
ton Sanitarium at Takoma Park and
the Montgomery County General
Hospital, Sandy Spring, will leave
Montgomery's facilities far below

Those directing the enterprise
know that there have been groups
working for hospitals for years in
some nearby counties. yet no build
ings have been started. They know,
too, that priority regulations make
all such projects unusually difficult
to obtain at this time. On the other
hand, the rural area of Montgomery
long ago obtained a hospital. A
similar success has been attained
in Charles and Calvert Counties.
The task that lies ahead of the Sub

impossible.
