Author Tells What Women
oCan Do for Defense
women's Editor, TIL. Detroit Time.
By IRENE NJ. HAWKINS

Women are all interested In
health so nutrition. Women
are all consumers and their
skills turn naturally to the war
time adjustment of income. per-
sonal wants and natural need.
Work for All
There Is no reason why each
woman in the United States
cannot actively interest herself
in the fundamental facts of nu-
triton.
IF she Is a housewife, she
can do this by scientific atten-
ton TO the meals which are
served in her home. and she will
have every supporting advice and
direction from the best govern
mental sources 10 help her.
Mems happiness depends on
women II Is an hour TO
remember that. The morale in
England and Russia, and GER
tainly here. depends on the
women OF the country.
Personal Work
This is not work which a
government can dictate or fol-
low up. II Is personal work for
each woman teaching, typ
ing. acting as hostess in a night
club she can still make
maintenance of faith and cheer
fulnesS part of her daily routine.
And II she does not? II =
hard 70 threaten the conse-
nuences for II is so obvious thai
he worst threats might come
true.
II she does not. there will
be a chance of defeat, and after
the defeat of the denocracies,
there will be little place for a
woman who wants TO develop
her abilities, her intellect and
her individual life"
Through the chapters Is told
lust what women are doing.
what YOU can do what has
been done in other countries.

Detroit
Junk Men
On Strike

Virtually all of Detroit's hundred
or more junk yards we're reported
closed today in a strike of peddlers
which started as a protest against
the price charged for horses and
wagons by four livery stables.
II was claimed. however, by
Hyman Nathan. secretary of the
Scrap Iron and Steel Institute.
that the strike in smaller Junk
yards would have no major effect
upon the amount of scrap metals
going into the war effort since
most OF the iron and steel at the
processing companies comes from
large factories or automobile grave
yards.
HALTS COLLECTION
The strike does, however, halt
the collection of metal from homes
at a time when civic agencies are
conducting widespread salvage
drives and war industries are in
need of scrap materials.
Alec Gotlieb, president of the
Associated Junk Dealers of De-
troit. said that after the original
dispute had started over the price
of horses. the United Construction
Workers. CIO. entered the picture
to organize the 1000 10 1900
peddlers, including push-cart coll
lectors. for demand for higher
waste material prices.
No formal demands have been
made on the dealers, Gotlieb said,
but pickets have kept truckload
shipments from leaving the yards
for processing plants as well as
preventing delivery to the yards.
FURTHER DEMANDS
Max Kletter. member of the
dealers association committee,
said the mills are now paying from
So to S. less per ton for waste
papers and are making further
demands on the baling of il. be-
cause of surplus of paper at the
mills.
The price of a horse and wagon
TO the peddler hassincreased from
SITS to S2.75 a day during the
last year because of increased
livery costs. he said.
