Fact And Opinion
By e. C. Stengelsen.

BY e. C. Stengelsen.
Drafting Men of A to IS.
In short time, there is to be a
registration of all males from A to
IS. The purpose is to place in the
hands of government the power to
marshal the nations working force
in the most effective manner. In
occupations important to our war
efforts, workers ranks are to be kept
filled by draft, if need be. Not only
that, but, presumably, skilled man,
performing important work in key
job, may not resign until some board
or authority inquiries into his reason
and decides whether it is or is not
adequate.
Now there is talks of drafting the
nations womanpower as well. The
proponents of this plan claim that
the need of replacing those who have
left civilian occupations to enter the
military service will shortly become
acute. In jobs which can be salts
factorily filled by women, men are
to move out to take up work which
it is beyond the weaker sex to per-
form.
There are many who ask the rea-
sonable question: How can there be
such shortage of workers, either
real or threatened, that there must be
be general draft of women, when il
is well known that we are still main
tanning extensive relief and PWA
lists and have some five million un-
employed among us? Why are not
these millions removed from relief
and PWA and given jobs?
Admittedly, many of them are, for
reasons of age, physical condition or
lack of skill, unacceptable under the
more or less rigorous standards the
war industries have adopted. But it
would certainly be ridiculous to say
that all, or even majority, are under
these disabilities. There must be
great numbers. among them who
would not only be able satisfactorily
to fill important defense jobs, but
who would thank God for the oppor-
tunity.
To those who may challenge this
statement, it is recommended that
they read the Positions Wanted"
ads in the large dailies, or that they
look about them and see if they will
not find many men with mechanical
skills or professional training, now
leading hand-to-mouth existence
in precarious, underpaid jobs who
would ask nothing better than an
opportunity to enter defense work.
Ask them why they have not done
so. Most of them will tell you they
have tried, but without success.
At the same time that we note the
continuing extensive relief and PWA
programs, under which countless
families are eking out a miserable
existence under thin dole, we hear
of young girls earning $40 or more
per week in defense work. For the
most part, the skills required to fill
these jobs are such that they could
be easily acquired in short time.
am told of one girl who earns $35
per week as a packer. There are
thousands of experienced packers in
wholesale houses and stores who
would consider themselves well paid
at much less.
Another girl-she was formerly a
waitress-is earning $40 per week
assembling a mechanical unit. Pri-
vately employed at this same occu-
patton, she would probably earn far
less. -.~ "
We hear of skilled laborers earn
ing $40, $50 and $50 per week in
defense plants. Other men, perhaps
equally skilled, are on relief.

Gathered together, the tremendous
wages being paid in the defense plants
and the huge profits the manufac-
turers are making come to focus in
two places: One is in the dizzy rate
at which our national debt is climb
ing. The other is in the exorbitant
taxes those of small income will
shortly find themselves compelled to
pay.
There can be no quarrel with the
decision, on the part of our leaders,
to organize completely our man and
womanpower for the purpose of win
ming the war. But it would seem
that they should first utilize the great
amount of unused manpower that is
still available.
1t may not be amiss to suggest that
there are other things we need be-
sides a total draft of manpower. For
example, we would not complain if
we saw lessening of the widespread
incompetence which is at present all
too evident in our leadership.
Nor would we complain if, in place
of the profligate and senseless spend
ing we are seeing on every hand,
we saw some sign that the spenders
were developing something remotely
approaching sense of values.

CAST IRON BANK MAN
Wide World Features

MONTCLAIR, N. j., Nov. 10
Monroe F. Dreher has a lot OF
money tied up in banks, which
wouldn't be unusual except that
the oftener it occurs, the happier
it makes him.
Dreher, New York advertising
man, possesses one of the coun-
try's most complete collections of
antique mechanical banks, in
genious, cast-iron contraptions
that do everything but reach in
your pocket for the money.
The banks represent slice OF
authentic Americana-they were
manufactured for period of only
80 years, and they have not been
duplicated since 1900. Dreher has
81 different models. Collectors
value them at from So to $50
each.
Older residents will recall some
of the models-Jonah and the
Whale, in which a coin is placed
in Jonah's hands, a lever is
tripped and the whale gets the
coin. Jonah gets away. In others,
a mother eagle drops coin into
a nest of hungry eaglets, a base
ball pitcher flips a coin at a bat
ter, who misses, and the coin
drops in slot. All of the banks
some of them so years old
are in working order.
Dreher's children don't use the
banks for their savings, but
Dreher has discovered a practical

guests unwittingly pay for their
own entertainment at his house

THOMAS BASSETT
VICTIM OF HIT AND
RUN CAR DRIVER
RECEIVED BADLY BROKEN
ANGLE: DRIVER PULLS OFF
LEAVING HIM ON ROAD
WHERE HE WAS STRUCK



Thomas v. Bassett aaeiviI en-
gineers employed by the Stand
ard Dredging Company, was the
victim last might; of a hit-and-run
driver, who raced away while
Bassett was pleading to him to
take him to a doctor.
Bassett's car was stalled on
White street, between Flagler
avenue and the waterfront, and
he was. trying to push it when he
was struck by another automo-
bile and had his left ankle SO
badly broken the bone extended
through the flesh.
The car that struck him stop
ped and the driver got out. It
was then that Bassett appealed
to the driver to take him, Bas-
sett, to doctor. The driver evil
IDENTIFY was so excited he hardly
knew what he was doing, for
when he saw the condition of
Bassett's ankle, the driver ex-
claimed, my car won't run!"
Immediately on his saying that,
he jumped into his car and drove
away.
A woman who was riding with
Bassett called up Pritchard's
Funeral Home. He was taken to
the Marine Hospital in the Pritch-
ard ambulance.
The car, after striking Bas-
sett, collided with his automo-
bile. The grill and part of a
headlight of the hit-and-run car
were turned over to Sheriff Ber-
lin Sawyer this morning, and he
and his deputies are making a
search for the driver.

saying that he did not favor drop
ping the matter entirely, but
what was needed was the neces-
sary equipment and definite ac-
ton in connection with a better
garbagedisposal system. The
matter was laid over for further
consideration. .....e
A. letter was read from the
head of the Naval Hospital calling
attention to the matter of taxi
drivers overcharging passengers
taken to and from the hospital.
The matter was referred to the
taxation committee. .-
A letter was read from the
Board of Public Works concern
ing repairs to be made at one of
the gates in the cemetery. The
board advised that work would
be started in making the neces-
Sary repairs as soon as possible.
A resolution was adopted re-
questing the secretary of the
State Board of Medical Examiners
to endeavor to have a temporary
permit granted to DR.. Eduardo
Gonzalez and DR.. Jose Portela to
practice their profession in Key
West during the emergency on
account of the shortage of doc
tors in this. city at the present
time. The doctors in question
are graduates of the University
of Havana, but have never been
