The “reconstruction period” is proving a period 'of recogni- tion as well as reconstruction for women who work. Data from every source in this country and abroad related to the employ- ment of women comes to the office of the assistant to the Direc- tor General of the United States Employment Service, Scien- tific reports, newspaper clippings, surveys of commissions, and letters from women of every walk in life make us.a mosaic that shows the working woman a bigger, more vital factor in our national life than she has ever before appeared, - It is not so much that a great number of women entered industry as a result of the war, according to Margaretta Neale, who is in charge of the women’s work for the United States Employment Service. The outstanding fact is that the country hus had its eyes suddenly focused on this great army which is composed, according to various estimates,.of from 11,000,000 to 14,000, 000 women. The very fact that the decennial census is the only source of knowledge of their numbers, although the number of women in women'’s organizations of every kind is easy to esti- mate, shows how scattered and little recognized has been their force in the past. - s Indications of the new attitude are evidenced in the unani- mous decision at a recent conference of governors’ representa- tives, held on invitation of the Secretary of Labor, to ask Con- gress to provide for a woman assistant director general of a permanent United States employment service, to have charge of affairs pertaining to women’s work. . Anothet evidence is the almost universal support of women’s divisions of the Employ- ment Service during the interim between appropriations by funds donated by civic, commercial, welfare and women’s or- ganizations in about 150 cities. The amounts subscribed vary from $400 or $500 in many smaller places to the $8,000. contrib- uted in Philadelphia, and the total is probably more than $500,- 000. Support by women’s organizations has been constant and has taken many forms, depending upon the emergency and whether the organization is'local State, or National, whether made up of women who are themselves wage earners or of leis- ure-¢i4ss. Two evidences of recent data are the resolutions of the ex- ecutive committee of the Nationgl Council of Women, with its 10,000,000 members, calling for the continuance of the United States Employment Service because “Justice demands.that i1é Nation provide an employment system in order that soldiers, sailors, and war workets be not penalized for their war service, and * * * that women’s wider interest and equality of oppor- tunity in industry gained during the war be not now' relegated to a minor place.” Similar resolutions were passéd at the an- nual convention of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae with special emphasis upon the opportunity for greater service af- forded the college-trained woman throug the offices of the United States Employment Service. i (Yt Keep your Liberty Bonds if you possibly can. Sacrifice, if necessary, to hold them. Pon’t let the first little temptation induce you to dispose of them. And if you do have to gell them, be sure you receive the curren{ market price, and in ng circum- stance should you exchange them for stocks in companies that 1' THE ETERNAL MAGDALENE. send slick salesmen to see you. That is the message in a bulle- tin issued from the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, which show that one local advertising club, affiliated with the association, recently estimated that unserupulous persons who are buying bonds at less than their actual value will rob the people of the United States of $25,000,000 during the next few months unless people who do have to sell take greater precau- tion to know the true value of their bonds. And there is no telling what the public will lose through trading bonds for wild- cat stocks. Cases have been reported where $100 bonds have been sold to sharpers for as little as $70 or $80. In thousands of other instances absolutely nothing has been obtained from bonds because the owners have traded them for worthless stocks. : —0 Buy a tag tomorrow.

Icelander niore than to have some one pleasant- 1y ask him if it is ever warm’in Ipe- land and if any flowers grow there. That Iceland is so misunderstood is entirely the fault of the Norse explor- ers who landed on the island. and felt obliged to name it. As it was'a cold day and the land was frozen beneath a blanket of snow, they thoughtlessly called 1t Iepland and departed hastily. Had they first visited the island on spring day, when the wind blew across the broad plains, théy might hiuve™elt the vastness of the place and with equal carelessness called it Gregtland. The name Iceland was oflieially adopt- ed and instantly became the island’s hoodoo. H Suntmer in Tceland is warm, some- times hot. In June the sun ponrs down upon the plains contimiousiy save for a few minntes at widnight. Another unicelandic phase of Iceland are the hot springs which spgut up steaming water.
