“JOBS FOR MEN" DUCE'S WORD TO GIRLS IN ITALY : Mussolini Plans Gradual Eliminating Women from Business By ANDRUE BERDING ROME, Dec. 10—Mussolini’s cam- paign to eliminate women gradu- ally from business, commerce and industry, has many Italian women workers on the anxious seat One indication after another is being given them that the axe is inevitable — a Government decree Jessening the number of women who may take examinations for State jobs; a decree increasing the number of men in the weaving in- dustry; a decision by the export institute to employ only men in| future; a strong editorial in Mus- | solini’s paper “Popolo d'Ttalia” say- ing in effect: “Jobs for men and babies for women.” Three Wage Earners Talk Three young women workers gave their impressions. One was a Gov- ernment employee, another a sten- ographer, the third a factory girl Since it was a Government pro- vision about which they were talk- ing each one asked that her name be not printed. The Goverriment employee, a 22- year-old girl office helper in the Ministry of Finance, said: “I am not worried. I have had my job for two years but I never meant to hold it for life and fath- er’s position assures me a living. “‘Besides, after two years' office work, I'm tired I'd rather stay home and do housekeeping—which, after all, is what we Italian girls prefer Orphan Sisters Keep Family The stenographer, 26, said “I have held my job nearly sev- en years, and if I lose it I'll have to look for another one right away. My salary and my sister’s are the only income we have, since we lost father a year ago. and mother died when I was a child “Fortunately I'll get enough lig- uidation (the Italian labor laws give an employee, on dismissal, one J ¥ ecceerrr™| month’s salary for each year of service) to prevent me from starv- | ing during the first months of un- employment Big Household Affected The factory girl, 31, employed in said: “I come from a large family. Father and four of us work, while two younger brothers go to school and a sister is always sick. Our combined wages are just enough to keep the household budget bal- anved “If I lose my job, therefore, the some sentimental attachment . . . “From this brief analysis you will see that we get what is left after the cream is skimmed off.

After referring to some of the disadvantages and difficulties ex- perienced by a college nowadays in competing for star school boy football talent, without sustain- ed alumni cooperation or speclal | iInducements, this observer writes: “It is.our observation that 75 per cent of all football stars in | prep schools and high schools come * ELECTRIC RANGE from second generation emigrant families. These boys are being kept in high school longer than usual by reason of the lifting of mini- mum school age. Many of these boys get the educational bee and want a college education. They go to those institutions which offer them the most inducements. Let’s Bring 'Em In ““The other 25 per cent of foot- ball stars come from the wealthy homes. These boys come to college either to play football or to get an education. If they are interested in football they choose an outstand- ing football institution where they will acquire additional prestige in playing. Otherwse they come to the colleges for whech they have Y Videon / Viinack }& May we suggest that you Range this Christmas? Yes, we admit that upon first thought it seems “too practical”—"not enough sentiment attached to a range.” But, after all, so many Christmas gifts are mere re- membrances. Why not make this a Christmas that Mother will long re- member. Give her a modern Electric Range—and that means easier and better cooking, new hours of freedom from the kitchen —time to really en- joy life. What gift could be more ap- propriate than one that lightens that most laborious and time-consuming of household tasks — the cooking of three meals a day—365 days in the year? Here’s a gift that will really med milk. Colleges such as ——— must either be satisfied with the their lily-white rating or else com- pete for football players. Pay or You Lose There is no doubt this subject has called for keen discussion in more than one athletic chancel- lory this year East and West, North and South. Colleges and universi- ties which took the revelations of the famous Carnegie Report ser- iously, subsequently taking meas- | ures to eliminate or minimiz& the | so-called “evils” of proselyting and recruiting, have found themselves outstripped by rivals with a more businesslike attitude toward foot- ball The depression, with its conse- quent sharp falling off in gate re- ceipts, compelled most of the big- ger colleges to scrap many of their notions about athletic purity, com- pete in the open market for foot- ball talent and bend their energies toward more attractive schedule- making—all for the purpose of | saving their athletic treasuries from going bankrupt. | Conditions have improved and | the situation involves a brighter | outlook again, from the viewpoint | of gate receipts, but the competi- tion is keen and the cash custom- ers are discriminating. There be- ing _no lack of proof that a win- ning team pays bigger dividends than a loser, there is only one an- swer to the problem facing those who still stand at the football crossroads. They must either join the scramble or indulge in less ex- pensive pastimes. “BETTER THAN EVER” Our select line of art prints in Christmas Gift Packages. Winter and Pond. adv. .. - SHOP IN JUNEAU!
