TEN, to be put into action.
Let the schools do what they should do;
let the churches receive the strength and
support they need and deserve; let the
press and radio live up to their high obli-
cations.
Let the people through all their means
and institutions be properly educated,
and the race will be improved as time
goes along.
This is true OF the past, and there is no
reason to doubt the future and there is
no cause to go flying off into some silly
hair-brained plan for a super-state in
order to accomplish an uplift of the race
The best instrument toward that end
is the instrument of democracy which as
sures both progress and freedom, which
is far more than can be said of any other
system.

Reports on broken-down laund-
ry service, coming in from all over
tie country, are perhaps just the
BEGINNING of similar walls to be
expected from other service trades
beauty and barber shops, repair
trades of all kinds, tailorS, en-
ployers of hotel and house servants
messenger services and the like.
The squeeze on all such businesses
is bound to get tighter and tight
er and. the pressure comes from
a combination of natural circum-
stances and government war reg
ulations almost impossible to beat.
To begin with. the rates Of

have always been lower than in

PIRATING IN WAR INDUSTRIES

War industries consequently raid
freely and pirate as they pleace
on the working forces of the SER
vice trades, and there's nothing
to stop them.
Service trades are also at the
bottom of the list i'm getting ad-
dition3I machinery to take care
of the increased demands put up
on them by a public with money
in its pockets to pay for services
il formerly did without. Manu-
facture of laundry equipment,
shoe repair machinery. beauty
shop paraphernalia was virtually
suspended long time ago 10
save materials. facilities and
manpower going into essential
war materials.
The combination of these cir
cumstances obviously leaves the
service trades buried under the
economic scrap pile. 1t has been

able that this would happen sooner
or later.

ABsENTEEISM AND LAuNDRIES

vice trades were able to get by. but
now the pinch is beginning to be
felt all over the country, and
that's what the shouting is about.
1t is going to get louder. and the
swell service you have been accus-
toned to is bound to get worse.
Before the war is over, the SER
vice may be terrible
What the people in the business
of supplying services to the public
are trying to do i'll face of this
situation is to build up a case for
their essentially. In the case of
launderies, the case runs that since
more women are working in in
dustry, they havn't the time to
GO their own washing. and must
send it to the laundry If they
can't get laundry service, they have
to stay home from work a couple
of days week, and that increases
