Tt Is not welfare work, but an attemp* on the part of the Federal Govern- ment to analvze existing situations ®cfentifically and to present to the interested participants and the pub- lie facts from which they can draw their own conclusions and upon which legislation can be based, if It is necessary. Mrs. Best's however. differs from that of the investigators els where. in that she is operating na tionally and may be sent to any part of the country to conduct a survey. She has heen with the Women's Bu- reau since 1918 and has heen pro- moted from the position of field agent to the supervision of many studies. The names of some of these surve indicate the character of the work [ LOVE AND work The Romance of a Race Around the World BY LINTON WELLS | industrial supervisor of the Women's Rureau in | the Department of Labor, is one of who are studving the problems of women In industry and who are endeavoring she does probably better than any |explanation could—-"Canning Workers in Philadelphia,” “Absence and Turn jover in Textile Plants,” and * | ports for the States of Georgi: Arkansas on Industries in W Women are Employed.” At present she is beginning with Miss Caroline Manning, also of the bureau, a na tion-wide investigation of the oppor tunities for women in industry. Mrs. Best's training began with special studies at Columbla and at the School of Social Work in New | York. For two years she lved at the New York College Settlement, doing case work for the Charity Or ganizatlon Soclety, and in 1812.13 she was president and director of the Nelghbdrhood House in Westchester County. When the war came she | jolned’ the New York Women in In. | Qustry Service. and became a special | investigator, going into the factories |to find out the way in which the war | was affecting women's labor and mak- Ing charts and reports to her com:-| mittee, | | “She was particularly well fitted for | | this, as some vears earlier she had| {done volunteer investigations for the Ilate Robert Valentine, an expert in| labor audits for industrial plants. | with offices in Boston, and Mrs. Best | | had handled the New York end. | "Because she goes directly into the| plants and finds out conditions at first hand, she knows the human side | lof the problem the working women | must meet. The girls are to her| {real and breathing individuals with| | hopes and dreams and aspirations. and not so many sets of statistics for| learned professors to draw upen for| lecture material. Mrs. Best supplies | the statistics, but she also brings back phrases that speak more clearly than do the figures of this human ele. | ment. There is. for example, an en-| | tire story of the rasction of the fm-| migrant to American life in the fact| that most of the people who have been in this country for one or two | generations send their daughters to Nork in offices rather than in facto- | | vies, even though the factory jobs pay better. And in this connection, Mrs Best quotes what one woman sald | to her: “When I first went to the| toctoes: to work 1 had many bright | | thoughts, but forty vears of doing one thing all day leng. every day iny the week. has stolen them all away.

There was the future to he thought of. Capt. Olson had made a valuable suggestion. He had already planned to land at Yokohama, en- {raining there for Shimonoseki, where he could take ship to Fusan, Korea. From there by train he had to maie a junction at Harbin for the long jour- ney across the Siberian and Russian steppes. He had almest forgotten his serv- jces to Japan in the earthquake. Ol- <on had reminded him of how much the government thought of them. Suppose--suppose he had influence enough tq procure an army airplane to meet him at Yokohama and fly him across the island to Shimonoseki, 120 I miles across the straits from Korea {and the mainland. He'd have the first jump on Rogers then, -It was doubtful, of course, whether he would be able to get a train out of Harbin at once after ! reaching there. But, at any rate, he'd have gained something. Rogers would see that his knowledge and acquaint- jance with the far places counted.
