T Employment Opportunities For Women Increase While Those For Men Grow Less By CLARKE BEACH WASHINGTON. Employ, merit Jor women is Increasing while male employment is drop ping. The number of employed U. S. women increased from 16,602,000 In May 1948 to 17,173,000 in May ths year. But in the same period the number of men at work dropped from 42,058,000 to 41, 521,000. These are Census Bureau fig ures as analyzed and reported by the Women's Bureau of the La bor Department. Unemployment is hitting both sexes alike. The number of women and men seeking work rose almost 100 perent for each sex. This is all a continuation of a long trend. Since the turn of the century, and earlier, the num ber of women working and seek ing work has been on the in crease. In the present period of unemployment, the trend has been accentuated. Take the figures on the total labor force the total of men and women both working and seek ing work. The nation's labor force increased from 60,422,000 In May 1948 to 61,983,000 in May 1949. Among men the increase in that period was only 1.4 per cent. Among women the increase was 5.5 per cent. Women constituted only 18 per cent of the total labor force in 1900. They were 29 per cent of the labor force last May. Twen ty per cent of women of 14 and older were gainfully employed in 1900. iast May ai per cent oi Adventists Here Plan To Attend Gladstone Camp Pastor John J.

Only 71 per cent of the adult male population was gain- tuny employed in May aa-ii). xei 87 per cent of adult males were employed in 1900. The drop has been sharp even since 1940, when 79 per cent of adult males were working. Explanation Offered The explanation is that: 1. Men are staying in school longer. Also, the new pension programs make it easier for them to retire. They used to retire la ter or not at all. 2. Women are finding work opportunities they never had be fore. Labor saving devices are making it possible for them to get out of the kitchen. And they need money to buy the labor sav ing devices. Women have been encouraged to work. Also, because the social attitude toward working women has changed. Furthermore, the average woman has fewer chil dren now than formerly. The big Increase of working women has come chiefly among those who were married. Women once had too much to do at home even to consider get ting a job. But the development of mass production, through the Introduction of new machinery and distribution methods, has provided at economical prices the things they once had to provide themselves: Clothing, laundry and canned and baked foods. The growth of factories, too, has created jobs that women are physically able to handle. And the development of business ma chines has given women new fields of employment. Although the typewriter was put on the market shortly after the civil war, the "touch system" didn't come into general use un til the 1890s. The rapid work made possible by this and short hand methods revolutionized bus iness processes. Girls were often found to be more proficient for the work than men, and they would work for less. They flocked to the of fices for Jobs. There was a great moral protest the temptations for men and women working to gether In the same offices, the physical strain of typing, Which would ruin the girls health. But the fact Is that women's life expectancy rose from 51.1 years in 1900 to 69.5 years in 1945. And now fewer women are old maids. In 1900 31 per cent of women were single. In 1940 only 25 per cent were unmarried. Wed., July 13, 1949 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 Barn Burns While Obstinate Bull Battles Firemen NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., July 13. William A. Maza rlnko and his large, brown bull aren't speaking todav not after what happened yesterday morn ing.

Doubling as picadors, the fire fighters armed themselves with pitchforks and drove the bull back into a field. The bull got loose and came back. The fire wai getting worse. The firemen fi naily penned the bull in a near by pasture. By that ime the big, wooden barn was beyond saving. Loss approximated $12,000.
