That's fine. I'll bet you were

But when they were almost all

Servants Hear Sirens Song
in actory's Loud Whistles
By ELEANOR RAGSDALE


WASHINGTON - Sorry,
jamie dear, we won't be able to
make it tonight. No one to leave
the children with. Florence has
left us to get job in the new
powder plant that's just opened
up. Isn't it awful? But l sup
pose you can't blame her.
It's a housewife speaking-a
victim of the new crisis in the
household employment fl e l d
brought to a head by more jobs
for women in defense industries.
Here's how it goes-eSpecially
in the defense centers. Husband
tool-worker gets a raise, so he
says to his wife, "Why don't you
get someone in to help you with
the cleaning, or laundry, or
baby?"
Result: Increased demand for
workers in these fields. But the
same factory in which husband
works may be taking on hum
dreds of girls to do sorting or
finishing jobs. Result: More
household workers giving no
tice" and fewer unemployed
girls to fill any household posi-
ton. And to make it worse, some
wives who used to do their own
homework are being tempted to
fill some of the new defense
Jobs, themselves-thus boosting
demand, since they may need
someone to look after the house
and children while they work.
DISADVANTAGES OF
HOME EMPLOYMENT
Mrs. Bereft Housewives help
less Isn't it awful suppose
YOU can't blame her" is a typi-
cal employer reaction to the de-
parture of household helpers
though there is some raging and
Tuning. But there are organ
izations and individuals who
think that taking a good thor
ough look at the Factory-versus-
Domestic Service question helps
clarity what can actually be
done about it to benefit both
Mrs. B. H. and the 2,500,000-odd
household employees as well.
Domestic service has impor.
tant practical disadvantages.
Outstanding psychological one is
the rating of a girl in the eyes
of the community. In this coun-
try, there has been built up an
attitude of superiority toward
anyone in the domestic field.
Even Mrs. Housewife herself
often uses an apologistic tone
when saying, ooh, I'm just
housewife"
Tackling the many facets of
the problem of making domes-
tic service more attractive and
desirable an occupation are the
Y. w. c. A., the Women's Blu
real of Labor, the National
Council on Household Employ
ment, the Social Security Board,
and many other church and club
groups. Unions have had hard
shedding because workers are so
scattered, SO transient, and have
so little free time.
First efforts of these organ
| izations are directed at getting
the Social Security Act extend
ed to cover domestic workers.
The objection raised against this
is not a matter of principle, but
of administration. Many feel
that collections of contributions
and keeping track of terms of
employment in a field where in
dividual and part-time employ
ees are the rule would be an i'm
possible task. President Roose-

Welt, however, insists there are
mo insuperable difficulties to
it.
Next point of attack Is in the
State legislatures, where at
tempts are being made to have
existing wage-hour laws for in
tra-state industry broadened to
cover domestics. Making this
task more complex is the nature
of domestic service, which would
require special hour adjustments
and provisions for overtime
work.
One point on which both en-
ployers and employees see very
much eye to eye is the need for
more adequate training facilities
for cooks, nurses, hOuSe-maids
and home launderers. Here the
WPA is doing some good work,
though reduced funds have cur

these lines. The Philadelphia
Institute on Household Occupa-
tions also does a top-notch train

FOUR STATE AMENDMENTS
WIN VOTERS APPROVAL
Legislative Salaries Boost Rati-
fled by Narrowest Margin;
Other Figures Are Given

Four of seven proposed amend
ments to the state constitution were
approved by Maryland voters in the
recent general election, it was an
nounced by Secretary of State Thomas
Elmo Jones. Garrett county voters
were emphatic in registering their
ballots against all seven.
Jones said that returns from coun-
ty election supervisors all had been
tabulated by his office and awaited
official certification Thursday when
the state board of canvassers meets
in Annapolis.
Amendments passed were those au-
thOrizing $1,000 a year salaries for
state legislators; permitting the gen
eral assembly to standardize fees for
clerks of courts and registers of
wills; making it mandatory for one
third judicial circuit Judge to be from
Hartford county, and permitting the
state roads commission to condemn
Immediately needed property with
condemnation subject to court re-
view
Juvenile Amendment Beaten
Defeated were proposed amend
ments which would have authorized
the establishment of juvenile courts
of record and have raised the age of
jurisdiction from 16 to 18; reduced
the number of required publications
for constitutional amendments, and
an amendment which would have
taken from the legislature the au-
thority to approve gifts and requests
to religious sects, orders and denom-
nations.
For increasing legislative salaries
there were 1910 votes in favor, and
6O,143 against. Other final figures
are:
Gifts: 51,145 for; 1896 against.
Condemnation: 54,616 for; 47,686
against.
Court fees: G4,369 for; 1887

Motorist Is Fined
On Three Charges

Fines totaling $126 and costs of
1928 were imposed on Earl Thornton
limbaugh, Deer Park, by Magistrate
H. A. Loraditch, Oakland, Monday, for
drunken and reckless driving and
failing to stop after an accident. The
fine of $25 for the latter offense was
suspended.
Hincbaugh was arrested by State
Trooper George NJ Browning at 7
o'clock Saturday night after an acct
dent on the Mt. Lake-Deer Park road.
Hinebaugh's car struck the machine
operated by Adonis W. Sisler, Mt
Lake Park. Both cars were damaged
to the extent of about $50.
The state trooper said Ssler told
him he saw limbaugh approaching,
drove off the road and brought his
car to a stop to avoid an accident.
The left front of Hinebaugh's car,
however, struck the left rear of Sis
ler's automobile
Hinebaugh failed to stop after the
collision, the trooper said, adding that
Sislcr located him a short time later
about two miles north of Bethlehem
school,
At the trial limbaugh was fined
500 and costs for drunken driving
and 81 and costs for reckless driving
in addition to the suspended fine for
failing to stop. He pleaded guilty to
all the charges.

anything in the WPB record to show
it could have done as well. Army
spokesman further say that so far as
production is concerned. it would have
shown even better results if the WPB
had had competent priority system
and thus prevented shortages of raw
materials such as steel, copper and
rubber AS for the argument of Mr..
Wilson's qualifications and industrial
experience, the army retorts with
"Wel, we have Knudsen." Alto
gether, the army makes out a pretty
good case for continuation of the eX-
listing setup and Mr.. Nelson would be
in stronger position if there had
been more stability and less shifting
within his agency.
Taking all these things into consid-
Grafton, it is a little hard to see the
reasons for a change. No charge is
made that the army has begged
down, and there seems sense in the
contention that the best thing would
be if Mr.. Nelson could be satisfied
with publicly establishing his right to
step in and take over-with the army
acknowledging him as boss-but not
really to do so unless or until the
army fails to measure up. There is a
disposition to feel that the hard fight
Mr.. Nelson has made on this issue is
due to the way in which the strong
men whom he recently has brought in
have been needing" him.

Apparently, the proposed general
"shakeup" has been stimulated by the
conflict between the army and the
WPB over full control of war produc-
ton, which has been raging for some
time with considerable bitterness on
both sides. While this has not stopped
production it is descriptive of harmony
and it has been hoped the President
would find some more practical way
of ending the controversy than his
facctous but not very funny suggcs-
ton of locking the disputants in a
room and starving them into agree
ment. 1t seems accepted now that the
outcome will be a compromise in
which both sides will make conccs-
sions. That would involve, of course, a
period of REIMBURSEMENT and some tenn
porary slowing down. 1t is not the
ideal solution, but no one has an ideal
solution and any compromise will be a

That was the line laid down for Mr..
Baruch in the last war by President
Wilson, and Mr., Baluch was able to
get results without taking things out
of the army's hands. Apparently, Mr..
Nelson thinks he can get better re-
suits if he puts all in the hands of
his able aide, Mr. Wilson. And, hav-
ing been asked to do the job, one
can easily understand Mr.. Wilson'S
feeling that he should exercise COM
pIete control. But, compromise or no
compromise, what this means is a
change in the system with no proof
that better results will cnsue, For one
thing, certain amount of rctarding
reimbursement will follow. For an
other, sore spots and hard feeling are
inevitable. For third, it certainly
will leave the army unconVinccd. From
its standpoint there is much to justify
the view that the army, linking up
with American industry, has done a
really great job. Most people will
agree to this; agree also that today
things are operating smoothly under
army-industry cooperation. If the job
is not being perfectly done, still there
is nothing in the record of the WIPE
to create confidence that it could dc
better.

Parham H. Williams, chancery

members Of the Durant Rotary CLUB
Tuesday on the necessity OF buying
war bonds and stamps to the best OF
our ability. Mr.. Williams is head OF
the drive in Holmes county to pur-
chase as many bonds as we an.
He said most of US are unable to
serve on the battlefront but that we
can all serve on the homefront by
furnishing the money for the wea-
pons of war our boys must have to
win.
The speaker deplored the cata'
strophe in the Philippines where We
did not have enough men or equip
ment. He said it was the saddest
| chapter in our history as a nation
that we must not let it happen again
BY buying more bonds and still
more bonds we can keep it from
happening again. Money alone vii
not win the war but we cannot wiz
I it without it. Holmes county's goa
is from forty to fifty thousand dol
lars per month in bonds.
