To Be Given Jobs
In War Industry
Plenty of Work

To Race Women
BY ALVIN E. WHITE

WASHINGTON, D. c. CAMP
The mobilization of ''manpower"
by the new board headed by Paul
v. McNutt brings to the fore the
part women are to play in the
present world conflict in relieving
men for active war duty and mill
tary assignments.
According to the tentative plans,
the date set for the registration
of women throughout the United
States on July 4. On this day, all
women are to be registered just
as practically all the males in the
country have been registered.
BY the end of this year, Frances
Perkins of the department of labor
predicts two to three millions of
the fifteen million workers in war
industries will be women. This
means a great increase over the
number presently employed.
WOMEN TO GET JOBS
This, however, is nothing com
pared with what will be needed
next year. The official estimate
is that four million women will be
on the pay rolls of war industrial
plans by 1913.
Labor department experts say
there are 10 million housewives
and single women who can be
drawn into war production. The
army and navy will want 800, 0OG

Women are said to be working
efficiently on war orders, ranging
from textiles to the heavier metal
trades. They have a high record
for inspection, assembly of small
parts, soldering, filing and other
bench work.

Dear Miss Leaf:
I'm girl of twenty. have been
married to a man whom I loved
dearly but [ could not trust him.
I tried TO live as a wife to him but
failed. So now, I am at home with
my dad. Mother died when 1 was
three and my dad is i'll and says
that I should marry again, but the
man I love has been married too
and we cannot afford divorce
Do you think I should go on and
live with him until we can get di-
vorces?
Vicky.
No, j do not think yoy
should live with any man to
whom you are not married. no
matter how much you love
him. Such companionship
viii cheaper any life. Have you
thought about getting a job
and going to work SO that you
can pay for your divorce? If
your husband was in fault, he
can be made to pay for the
divorce.
The man himself must be
sorry lot if he has asked you
to live with him without bene-
fit of clergy.
Don't Jump out of the frying
pan into the fire. The man
evidently does not love you as
he should to offer you such a
proposition. Try to do a little
better than this with your life,
and don't give UP SO quickly.

Suggestions OF sabotage were dis

There Is an airport near the

over It.

had found no evidence OF sabotage.
Sheriff w. O. Nickel OF Northamp-

that no saboteur could have slipped
anything into the stacked up boxes
without being seen.

are erecting new dwellings at the
rate OF about 800 per month, and
this may be stepped up to 500, but
the shortage still remains acute.
