There is much significance in the statement of Dr. George Kirchwey, | New York state director of the fed- eral employment service, that he ex- pects less than 10 per cent of the women who have held positions dur- ing the war to lose them now that the war is over. saying: “We are not advising employers to} release their women workers. We want them to make room for soldiers, | but at the same time to retain as/ many of their present workers as pos- | sible.” This looks like a fon policy. There are many of course, where a woman ought to give way to a returning soldier—for instartce, where the woman has definitely taken some soldier's job with the under- cases, standing that she was a substitute, and that the job should be his again his But it would be an unsound principle to in- sist that when there were not enough jobs in sight to go around, the wo- men should give away to the men on return. in general, merely because they were women. If “women are people,” they have | an undeniable right to economic equality with men. them to give them their chance. It is only fair to And it is surely best for the community as a whole, in the long run, that em- ployment should be determined by the ability of the the worker's worker rather than by Most of the women who have risen to economic independence thru op- portunities afforded by the war do not want to give up their work the monmient the war is over. And a time is soon coming, in the opinion of the labor experts, when all the available workers will be needed, men and wo- For it is better to make places for men alike. the uncertain pres- ent, the returning soldiers by undertak- wo ing public and s mulating industry than to provide for them by any wholesale turning of ¢ women out of their jobs 0. BATHS FOR EVERYBODY. 6 The boys pretty well agree that the one best thiig about gétting home or into the hospital is the good old tub. The white bath tub, with lots of sop and plenty of cléan water! spells comfort with the big “C” time. every In camp, too, any kind of shower or bathing device Was worked over- time. The boys loved cleanliness. Those who were accustomed to it ex- pected the means for it. Those who previously had known no such lux- ury came to covet the daily bath and miss it when the rigors of life in the field made it impossible. If the public needed a lesson on this subject the testimony of thousands of it. In every nity there should be available ba 11d provide Primarily, of, course, these are erected for dwellers in dist which lack the most of us consider neces- ricts But aside from the need of this portion of the community there is a lot of well conducted public bath hou: ood for people in general in PS, @S- pecially when they contain, as they ming pools.

There has been some criticism of the medical department of the army, because of the high mortality from disease. Unquestionably the sickness at the training camps has been a cause of anxiety and alarm. It is well, however, to keep a proper per-) ‘spective on the matter. Records show that in our Civil War} | |the disease death rate in the Federal army was 65 per 1,000. In the Spanish war it was 26 per 1,000. In Re present war it has been reduced ie 17 per 1,000. {disease fatalities have resulted from for Furthermore, the big majority of the influenza epidemic, whose | \ravages the medical corps, to say the! |least, cannot be held wholly respon-| | sible. Despite the extreme handi- cap caused by the close living quar- |ters of the men in the camps, the in- been much higher than among any! similar number of civilians in any! smitten tomimunity, with all the com- forts and conveniences of home treat- ment. : The real surprise, for most people, jcomes from a comparison of battle) death rates in the same three wars. | For the numbers engaged, this war was far more deadly to Americans than either of the others. In the Spanish war only five men were killed | in battle out of every 1,000. Civil war, there were 33 deaths per thousand; in‘the present war, 57 per thousand. ~0- The Jack Pot |: Naturally Clemenceau didn’t mind little thing like being shot. d to it. fight a duel with any man who ques- tioned the cut of his coat or the color, of his necktie. s * @ ‘Help!
