Won't Hire Women

WASHINGTON N P) - Al.

department of labor is very solicit

publishing books and pamphlets
concerning them, it does not see
fit to employ Negro woman to
look into the aspects attendant up
on labor conditions concerning the
race.
From time to time Mary Ander
son, director of this bureau which
operates under Frances Perkins
secretary of labor, has been con-
tacted with reference to this very
item. Nine. Perkins herself has
been approached on the subject, but
in neither instance has any hope
been given that qualified Negro wo-
men will be placed on the staff to
investigate or advise where it is
necessary.
Additional funds have been grant
ed the bureau and it was with this

preached on the subject. With q
very terse reply, Miss Anderson

APPROACHED LAST WEEK
This answer was given last week
when representative of a national
~ Known organization approached
Miss Anderson on the subject. Miss
Anderson was then asked if she
would receive a committee of five
prominent women to discuss the
situation and see if anything at
all could be done. She fIatly re-
FUSED this and referred the person
inquiring to her former statement.
When Nine. Perkins office was
contacted, a Miss Jay sala practi-
cally the same thing when asked if
committee could get an appoint
ment to see the secretary.
Miss Jay was asked what the OBJ
lection was and is reported to have

Asked if she inferred that people
were permitted TO see a government
official only once, Miss Jay said
she saw no necessity for an inter-
view or conference inasmuch as
the matter had been discussed pre-
viollsly.

Jack Sinser4 Tops

lack SINGER, brilliant young correspondent for
international News Service has been reported missing
in action by the Navy Department and his colorfu and
factual reports from the Pacific therefore
also missing.
Some weeks ago young Singer flew in a naval
torpedo plane in successful attack Japanese air
craft carrier and back to write of the grandest
stories of the war
This time he has not come back-yet.
It is to be hoped he will get back because he would
have another grand story to write and because he is
fine young man who has been doing bangup job.
HORE than in this war, particularly in the vast
lVl spaces of the Pacific war men reported missing in
action have turned very much alvesometmes after
weeks and months of narrowing ordeal and thrilling
adventure.
So Jack Singer not being written off lost by his
newspaper colleagues by his newspaper readers.
However, the reality of the situation is apparent.
1t is the same grim reality which all newspaper
with the combat forces are facing,
MANY like Singer have gone into action and many
lVl have sustained wounds have joined the ranks of
the missing he has done.
1t is a hazardous task which newspaper men have in
the war and it takes intrepid men to do it well.
II is. moreover, important task the military
authorities recognize in assigning competent
to it, and the public realizes when the is
plete and timely and when there ordeals of waiting
Jack Singer is top in his field and respected
and admired and much loved rs we'll Let hope
he is ONLY missing action and that this is another
of his adventures from which he will return safely and
with another great story.

Letters TO
The Editor
TO TIE EDITOR.

TO THE EDITOR:
YOUR plea for scrap metal in
Il today's paper was an excel
lent appeal. But do you realize
that even now many Is pounds
of steel are out on our streets,
right on the sidewalks. in the
form of high. steel fences.
Couldn't these fences be re-
placed by wooden picket fences
for the duration of the war:
thereby giving visual evidence of
the patriotism of these institu-
tions, many of which would
stand in jeopardy If our failure

the stomach or too much acid
in the system.
People often conclude they
have too much acid in the sys-
TEN without any evidence.
II is very rare to have too
much acid in the system.
Fruits and vegetables give an
alkaline reaction and il certainly
will not hurt you TO eat plenty
of them.
Acid in the stomach can be
helped with bicarbonate OF
soda.
Foods good for acid in the
stomach are those that absorb
the acid like cream and lean
meats.
d. s.: Would IL be harmful
for an expectant mother 10 have
her teeth extracted?
Answer: The expec tant
mother should have her teeth
examined regularly. Perhaps ii
may be necessary TO extract one
or two. 1 can't tell from your
question whether you mean all
the teeth extracted. l do not
believe any dentist would ad-
wise that.
A. s.: Is there any treatment
for kidney stone besides opera
ton?
Answer: Most kidney stones
are so small they pass from the
kidney TO the bladder and are
voided. What to do for a kidney
stone depends on how much
trouble it is making. II it grows
to a large size and creates pus
infection of the kidney, the only
recourse is operation.

necessity of keeping service stations operating in his

These men helped to create Americas giant mass

-They helping TO carry vitality important civil

Moreover they have built efficient service stations
In every city, town and hamlet in the country.
They have thus succeeded in keeping grand average
of 26 900 900 motor trucks and serving America
They have helped to make the United States the most
