war so years from now. women will be on an
even footing with men.
Maybe, and maybe not. But you can put it
down as a fact that the women have now
made permanent place for themselves in our
military services. When Army and Navy staff
planners blueprint our future peacetime
forces, the question of how to fit women in
will be very much alive. On Capitol Hill,
the inclusion of women is virtually taken for
granted.

The Girls Are Valuable

As THE laws stand today the women are
in the armed forces only for the duration plus
six months But that is also true of most of the
men, Before that six-month mastering out
period has ended, new provisions will have
been made for a much larger permanent force
than we had before the war. The women have
proved themselves too valuable. as soldiers,
marines and sailors, to be left out. This is
bound to have some influence on whatever
legislation may be passed.
OF course no American women have ac-
tuay gone out to fight, as have some of their
counterparts in the Russian armies. The men
still seem to have safe monopoly in that de-
partment Short of actual combat, however,
the women have made an impressive record

The Army and Navy themselves aren't

of the various women's corps are as mum on
the subject as if it involved the key secrets

Central theme of the tracts is
1.-THE Meaning of Christmas" As
you PROBABLY know, the Bible
makes no mention of Christmas
nor does it give the date OF
Christ's birth. Christmas is an
invention of mans mind. Its
commercial and worldly aspects
have so distorted whatever di-
vine meaning man may have
INTENDED that to many today
it's just an holiday for false or
carnal pleasures. However, the
spiritual value of the tracts can
not be discounted nor is iris
comment so intended. One o. the
tracts gives US the divine mean
ing of the Nativity of Christ in
a brief but beautiful manner
In part, it says: ITO God the
Father it meant giving His Son .
TO God the Son it meant leaving
Heavens glory to become a
servant obedient unto death.
to the world it means that God
has provided a Saviour. to
YOU it means that God offers
you ETERNAL LIFE as a GIFT -
Worthy of reproduction is The
tract, 1.-The Christmas Message
Has Not Failed" It may be given
you in future column. There
are 365 days in a year to remem-
Der Christ.

One of the chief bones Of
contention between industry and

Now along come the Alex
ender Hamilton Institutes sta
tiSticians and point out that
factory output per man hour in
1914 reached a new alltine high.
and was 23 per cent greater
than IN l943.
To back UP their figures they
state that man hours worked
showed a decrease of 46 per
cent from the l943 peak. but
that total production was off
only 2.S per cent.
Total production in 1914 was
1878 per cent above the prewar
level in 1889 This was &C
conpliShed with an increase of
only 1854 per cent in the num-
ber of manhours worked, be-
cause output per man hour
climbed los per cent during
that period.
The actual increase in the
labor force 10 achieve that 1918
increase in output was only 81
