Employees Help.
Obtuin Workers
For Air Station
70 Workers Hired Through
Employee Cooperation
At California Plant

Chicago (ILNS).-Employees of the
naval air station at Alameda, Calf,
are helping the station solve it's own
employment problems by recruiting
workers themselves. In a recruiting
campaign conducted recently for ap-
prentice mechanics, 70 new employees
were obtained as direct result of
employee cooperation.
The plan was carried out in this
manner, according to the Civil Service
Assembly: A small notice requesting
workers to send other people to the
employment office was attached to each
station employees time card.
The notice was designed for use,
also, as a referral slip for persons in
terested in working at the naval air
station. In the first month after dis
tributiOn of the referral slips, 20 people
brought in the completed form and
were put to work.
Though the number cannot be de-
termined accurately, it is believed Il
large number of persons also have ap-
piled for work at the station as re-
suit of this publicity without present
ing the referral form.
AS a part of the same recruitment
drive, approximately 10000 question.
naires We're distributed to homes in
Alameda in an effort to locate house
wives who We're available for work
Only Il few replies were received and
a hOuse-tO-hOuSe survey was conducted
by 6 women to determine whether
proper distribution of the questionable
| had been made.

The making Of a lady is slow
and an important thing. 1t has been
the fashion for more than 100 years
to make fun of her, but she has
played an important part in our
scheme of civilization.
THERE was great lady in Eng
L land in the nineteenth century;
she was dowdy and unimaginative
and fussy, perhaps, and she had
pathetic faith in the divine preroga-
tives Of royalty.
But she preserved her dignity,
her purity of ideals, her faithful
ness in marriage, her Conscientious
ness in the discharge of the smallest
and the greatest duties that life
presented to her; she read histories
and classics, sang Schumann's songs
at the piano, liked nursery theatri-
Gals and picnic teas, and throughout
a long reign she brought to critical
international affairs the integrity
and simplicity Of her own good
simple heart.
The Victorian era may have had
its absurd angles, but in itself it
was not absurd, and the indelible
imprint that it left upon the world
is far from absurd.
Not all good women are ladies.
A woman may be morally perfect,
may raise glorious brood of chill
dren, cooking for them, planning for
them, launching them into useful
lives; she may indeed deserve
place in the category of sainthood.
But that doesn't make her a lady.
A ND another woman may inherit
"A millions, may have been schooled
in girlhood in languages, opera,
books, travel, contacts Of the most
distinguished sort and all that
doesn't make her a lady. Indeed,
in two or three conspicuous ex-
amples that are frequently in our
headlines, it makes her something
quite different.
All this culture is merely her
open sesame to a world of license:
scandals, divorces, extravagances Of
every sort are needed to stimulate
her into an even languid interest in
being alive at ALL
The gentlewoman belongs in
neither class. She is a person who
not only has had some of the Gull
tural advantages of our social plan,
but who is sensitive and self-con-
trolled enough to take advantages of
them.
She has a spiritual side to her
character; she believes in temper
ance in word and act; never too

WET many of the women who do
L these things, and have been do
ing them for long years, would
assert angrily that they are perfect
gentlewomen. Why, they are in the
register
One woman | have known since
her very childhood started life with
conspicuous advantages. She is the
daughter of wealthy family whose
name is known all over America.
She had rare beauty; dark eyes and
gold hair, and she danced and played
tennis and went to England and was
presented TO King Edward in the
best possible traditions Of the early
century.
She has married four times; her
children are scattered about; they
hardly know her nor she them. One
of the grown daughters has started
a fresh line of scandals of her own.
1t is the tragedy of this woman's
dignifed and respectable family of
mother, sisters, brother, that Sally
is an alcoholic That explains every
thing. 1t is mentioned with bated
breath and behind closed doors to
doctors and LAWYERS only.
Sally, as an alcoholic two gen
erations ago, was unique. Sally was
a cause Of shame and secrecy and
whispered consultations. The big
personal maid who took care of Sally
for many years kept the family
skeleton we'll hidden. But Sally
wouldn't be unusual now.
THE heavy drinkers among our
L women don't all reel publicly
through the streets or fall down on
the floor Of the barroom-although
a surprising number do actually go
that far But they pay in even more
serious ways.
Their homes pay, through neg
lect, disorder, the suffering Of small
children. Their married happiness
is jeOpardized, for the delicate fab
ric of a woman's body is quickly
injured by excessive drink. Their
minds pay, they become confused
and silly.
1t was only few weeks ago that
a pretty, smart young woman in
market made a strange exhibition
of herself. Between red stamps,
blue stamps, payments, charging,
confusing addresses, canceling or
ders, and irresolution over even such
simple matters as which bread and
which apples to send home, she de-
layed a line Of shoppers perhaps II
minutes. To some of them those
II minutes were included in the only
free time of Woodworking day.
