NEW YORK WOMAN INPOLU TRENCHES SES WARKORRRS Wife of Major Seaman Sur-| vives Duel of Big Guns in Siege of Antwerp.

The Seamans re- turned on the liner Cameronia of the Anchor Line, after an almost con- tinuous first hand study of conditions since the beginning of the war. “I wasn't thrilled when we received the wireless warning that German submarines were operating near us ef Nantucket Sunday night,” Mra, Seaman told The Evening World re- porter. “I was still thinking of the men I had seen under fire, and t ‘women engaged in relief work, to Mrs. Seaman said no woman is ever “sent” to the front. In fact, it re- quires much coaxing of French mili- tary officials before they will permit & woman to go into the danger zone. “But my husband was going. He had Work to do, so I went along to help him,” explained Mrs. Seaman. Major Seaman was formerly a sur- geon in the United States army. ‘When not attending to the forward- ing of supplies in Belgium, he and Mrs. Beaman were working in the base hospitals, le as surgeon, she as @ volunteer aide of the Red Cross, FIFTH AVENUE WOMAN GETS TASTE OF FRIGHTFULNESS, During the sioge of Antwerp they ‘were in the city.

Hildreth of Syracuse, State Head of Federated Women’s Clubs—-Too Long They Have Been Indifferent to the Business End of the Home. By Sophie Irene Loeb. uY the wouwen can do it," sald Mra, Albert H. Hildreth, Presi- dent of the New York State Federation of Women’s Clubs, in giving her opinion of the Housewives’ Protective League, that is nized under the auspices of The Evening World. m, as is com templated by thin most progressive movement, the home, from a business standpoint, 1s bound to be- come an important issue, and the problem of high prices and household economies can be attacked with power. I heartily reco: great step In the right direction, “I believe every housewife in the city ought to be glad of this opportunity to take a part in se- curing her just rights in'the defense of her home.” Mrs. Hildreth, who lives in Syracuse, is in the city on a brief visit at the home of Miss Florence Guernsey, the First, Vice President of the New York State Fed- eration of Women's Clubs, and is a member of The Evening World Co-operative Committee, Mrs. Hildreth was enthusiastic in her belief as to what women could accomplish, her practical views and activities being widely known, “It is certainly time that something was done in this direction,” she | urged, “something of constructive nature. All these things were for- merly left to men. Now women are beginning to get down to the basic principles, the underlying causes, that affect their household management “For example, they are beginning to look into the high price of sugar and beans and similar foods that comprise the fundamentals of life itself. WOMEN SUFFER FOR THEIR INDIFFERENCE. “Let us be frank about it. Women have been indifferent too long. Merchants have taken advantage of this Indifference, “Women should make the home more of a business, We women have lost big opportunities in not is ourselves felt in this con- nection, “After all, we are the people who pay. “Woman pays the bills and manages‘the home, “To get the most benefit for her home, a little work on the outside Is necessary. “It is important to know what ls being charged in various places, and why prices go up artificially, and what foods can be utilized to the ad- vantage of the family when funds are low. “Go Into the average home. You will feel the situation before you have been there very long. Furthermore, there seems to be no future release from this growing condition that threatens the happiness of the home, Eggs are a luxury, the baby needs milk, and the cost of these things are so high that they must be used sparingly. “To-day meat is practically unknown in the home of the ordinary laborer, What can be the result? Lower vitality, weak children—elements that affect the future citizen and the community in the end. “Too much is left to the dealer to send what he likes, “Too little attention has been given by our women to the real every- cost of household management. “Too little has been accomplished in the way of securing the latest devices that save work and give opportunity for more study of home man- agement, which can be had only by getting on the outside of the home walls, It is the biggest problem before the public to-day and bound to become more serious if we do not take hold now. The women have got to do it.” ‘ ONE PROTESTING HOUSEWIFE’S EXPERIENCE. To the Housewives’ Protective League, New York City. “Dear Madam: We apartment dwellers will be grateful to you for starting this league, as for lack of space we have to buy {tn such small quantities; therefore we notice the high price most, “I have been thinking of writing and suggesting this very thing. A Mttle publicity will surely help toward reducing the price on some of the necessaries, even if it doesn’t cure the evil of high prices. “Perhaps if we formed community leagues in conjunction with this league it would be for our mutual benefit, as then we could buy from the POPHiz ENE LOEB O Objects of Housewives’ League Organized by The Evening World The purposes of the Housewives’ Protective League are: To reduce the coat of living wherever possible. To fight high prices that are artificial To secure st weight and measures. To eliminate petty graft on the common commodities. To atand together against unwarranted strikes on the necessaries of life. To vrchange opinions and views through the columns of The Eve- ning World, To set forth methods of houachold economy.

PLENTY OF JOBS OPEN. Skilled Artisans and Factory Workers, Male and Female, Badly Wanted. ALBANY, Oct. 12—The Btate Bureau of Employment reports that general employment conditions are good throughout the country. A much higher percentage of the work. ers in New York State is now em- ployed than has been for several yenrs, Despite this situation the total placements of the various branches of the State Bureau of Employment were larger during September than any month since the bureau was es- tablished, During September there was a strong demand for building and con- struction workers, such as car. penters, painters, bullding mechantes, electricians, plasterers, woodworkers and finishers, pipe fitters, plumbers and roofers’ helpers, The demand for meneral laborers at good wages still continues. Owing to the reopening of schools there haa been a large unfilled call for office boys, errand boys and mea- rengers, In New York City the de- mand for stock clerks, packers and porters far exceeds the number of available men, The cali for factory workers, es- pectaily women factory workers, is very heavy, particularly in some of the up-State cities, The demand for akilied machinists te still good, though a number of unskilled worke: have been laid off in some parts of the State, The supply of good male atenographers is not equal to the demand and several good positions are open in the various bfanches, Although summer resorts are clos- ing, tho supply of maids and do- meatica is far below the call, A superintendent of one of the branch offices described the situation as “denperate.” Offers of $6 to $8 a week and maintenance induces only @ few to take up the work. The demand is #0 acute In one of the up- State cities that housewives have offered to take girls who are attend- ing school, giving them room and board in exchange for their services outside school hours. While there in still a demand for various kinds of farm workers, there hax been a alight falling off in the call, In some of the farming sec- th there are many offers of tenant positions for year around work, pel ax Pca REV.
