WOMEN ON RAILROADS,
The number of railroad jobs that
women are able to hold has Increased
tremendously since the war began.
One ot the first new Jobs for women
was car cleaning, and they have boon
engaged in this work in the Boston
yardB of the Boston & Albany Rail
road for many months.
Now the railroad administration
contemplates the employment of wo
men almost exclusively as clerks, ac
countants, ticket sellers, station
agents, crossing watchmen, and car
cleaners, in which jobs they can re
lease men for the army or for more
important work. To some extent. It
is understood, women will be em
ployed as track laborers.
very effort will be made to guard
the safety and health of theBe women
workers, and it Is probable that the
work of the women In industry ser
vice of the department of labor will
bo of great value in solving problems
iconnectedi with their employment.
Women will be paid the same as men
for the same work. English and
French railroads were long ago com
pellod to hire women for railroad
work on an extensive scalo. In
France the women even act as flro
men on locomotives
There are training schools for wo
men ticket agents hi several large
cities alroady, where young women
between the ages of 21 and 3 ft years
are given two months courses In
rallroadl geography and slmplo ac
counting. They are paid 125
month while learning nnd afterwards
receive from UB to 1200 a month.
Mrs. Raymond Drown, of New
York City, who has Just roturned
from Franco, declares that there
should be passed In every stato an
antl-loaflng law for women between
18 and 60. Mrs. Drown belloves
that tho principal duty of American
women now Is to luulntaln standards
or living, and boos much to be done
in constructive Boclal work, such as
child wolrare. ' In France women are
working 13 hours a day, with two
hours recoss at noon,' and the privi
lege of working olght hours In the
United Stains under first rate condi
tions should not ho noglcctcd, ac
cording to Mrs. Drown, who Is now
interoHtod in organizing a hospital
umi ror ovorseas service.
The "Donvor Opportunity School'
Is a unique Institution which Is creat
ing now Holds for women's labor.
More than 100 young women and
girls liavo learned automobile ope
rating anil repairing thoro within the
lost fow months, in order to lit
theiusolves for such service and to
reloaso men for the army or muni
tlon Bhops.
Tho lull on tho battle front
doesn't moan that the Yankoes have
given out. They've only run out of
tnrgots to shoot nt. As soon as they
catch up with the floolng Huns thoro
will be something doing.

FOOD CONSERVATION IN CANADA
Editor Evening News: From time
to time there crops up a report that
the people of Canada are not con
serving food, and the effect of such
reports Is lo cause some resentment
a in on our people who are doing
their part to save. Some of these re
ports are of Innocent origin, hut tho
food udmlnlstratidii has evidence oi
the fact that muny of them are of
pro-Ooi'iian origin, and the ohjrct of
the -circulation of such rnpurts is to
cause dlHHousion between the people
of this country and Cunu lu.
Aa .o flour, Canada drJO not re
jiilif! the ufco of Biihsiilutoa. and
tills Is hocauee she has pr.i:ticully no
jnibdLltuLoa to use. on the other
handi sho oiT-seta the absence of h ib
stltutes by requiring the extraction of
a very high percentage of tho flour
In the wheat berry. The amount of
flour lie rm it tod to communis is a
16-day supply, with U0 days hUpply
for those living distant from towns
or cities. The use of sugar Is re
stricted and within tho past few dayB
the limit has boon placed In Canadu
at one and one-half pounds per per
son per month, whereas our peoplo
are allowed two .pounds per persan
per month. In passing, those who
complain of the two pound limita
tion should remembor that tho peo
ple of France are getting only 1
pound of sugur per month pur capita.
It Is unite likely that people who
vIbU Canada have had experiences
In restaurants and other eating
places where regulations are not
properly enforced, it Is Inevitable
that thoro will be a small part of
the population whose carelessness or
BelllHhness will iprovent them from
strictly observing the regulations. 1
urn sorry to say that we have now
and then a person of that kind on
thin sldki of the boundary.
Tho first hair year of Canada s
food board activities has just come
to an end by reason of conservation
C ana (hi has Increasod her export ofr
heof over previous years by 75,000,-
000 pounds per annum. Sho has In
creased her exports of pork. (Includ
ing lard nnd bacon) by one 120,000,
000 pounds per annum. It is esti
mated that she has exported 25 to
30 per cent more wheat during the
last 12 months than could havo beon
Bent abroad if It hud not been for
connervntlon. Some time nuo Can
ada prohibited the ubo of grain for
diminution of potahlo liquors nnd
tho (ii ho of malt has been limited.
No wheat of any grade Is permitted
to be fed to livestock or used ns
poultry food. Wasto of food has
beon mnJo punlHhnblo by hoavy pen
alties. With regard to tho use of whoat
substitutes in Canada, Mr. William
W Fisher, of tho United Stntos food
administration has Issued tho follow
ing statement: "Canada produces
vmy Uttlo outsldo of -outs ond bar
ley that may bo used as substitutes
for wheat. Tho United States has a
lurgo production oT corn ond our
p'ole are used to the consumption
or it in lar.-re quantities for food.
T'lls year Canada has a scant oats
rnd borlny crop and It has been Im
possible to secure corn from us In
any considerable quantity."
It con bo emphatically staled that
Canada Is conserving food ns well oh
giving of her resources and her man j
HHiwnr without stint for tho support I
of tho great cause In which ho have
so much nt stake. Thero is
ground for distrust or dissension, but
there should be the heartiest fooling
or rrlondshlp, mutual confidence nnd
support.
