Just Between Ourselves
Did you ever 'tend sugar camp?
This is a delight the younger gen
eration of Oregon knows little or
nothing about, but there are many
among us gray-heads who hall orig
inally from "back east" who can
readily recall certain pleasures, pa
llors and trials peculiar to the sugar
camp alone. Especially do these
spring days of warm sunshine follow
ing sharp frosty nights recall to mem
ory the "sugar-weather" days of long
ago.
Don't you remember? The first
bright morning all hands would be
astir early, and,, armed with augurs
and spiles, the work of tapping the
trees would begin. Two spiles to the
tree on the sunny side. And how the
water would spurt out, running In
continuous streams at first, and then
dropping steadily until In a few
hours the troughs would be filled.
Then came the laborious part. The
water had to be gathered In buckets
and carried to the sugar house,
where a tight barrel or two stood
ready to receive It.
But then, It wasn't all work, nor
yet play; but lots of real enjoyment.
As darkness settled over the camp
and fires began to glow and throw
dancing shadows over the trees and
logs and underbrush, the 1)oy on the
night turn would settle down to 'tend
the fires and rest, having plenty of
wood chopped and the water all gath
ered. If left alone, as was often the
case, his only companions were his
dog and the weird shadows chasing
each other through the woods and
out beyond the wall of darkness.
And as the quiet became more acute,

strange sounds would come from
dark nooks, and ghost stories, long
since forgotten,, would break In on
his mind in spite of his whistling or
singing.
And how busy he would become
skimming the froth from the kettles
and dipping the boiling water from
one to. the other until It reached the
one in which the richer syrup was
being carefully watched to pep it
from being scorched. Knowing that
a bite or two of something good to
eat has a cheering effect, the boy
would get out a good-sized chunk of
home-cured ham and numerous slices
of bread. Thus would boy and dog
feast until full, but the shadows and
sounds would remain in spite of all.
But tlrrlng-off" time must come
sooner or later. This was usually a
daylight job and fell to the women
folks. The accumulated syrup, about
as thick as the maple syrup we buy
in these times, but much too thin to
rank as hand-made maple molasses,
would be carefully strained through
linen cloths and placed In the biggest
kettle to avoid scorching, and al
lowed to simmer and bubble as It ap
proached the sugar state.
With an Iron spoon or wooden pad
dle samples would be taken from the
kettle every few minutes, cooled and
tasted. First the rich syrup, then
the thin wax, then taffy, then sugar.
There was quite an art In sugar-ing-off,
for if the mass was not kept
broken up by constant stirring it
would go Into hard, tough taffy. As
soon as it became crumbly It would
be poured into earthern dishes or
moulds.
Neighbor boys would drop in occa
sionally with their dogs, or the neigh
borhood story-teller would visit the
camp and reel off a few hair-raising
Indian stories or tell of the old man
who was murdered In his sugar house
and spin a ghost story or two by way
of variety).
As long as the crowd was present
these were all right, but when all
had gone and the .boy had been left
alone, the shadows would begin to
take on the forms of skulking In
dians, sneaking murderers and ghost
ly figures. Even the dog would cud
dle up close to him, and he wouldn't
object. You may depend upon It the
kettles were kept full and bubbling.
With only one more barrel to boil he
would turn his eyes towards the fire,
and strive to keep the shadows out
of sight, and the ghostly figures out
of mind. '
The boyhood Joys of "sugaring off"
will never come again, but with the
first sunny days of spring when the
frogs begin to croak, ttte sluggish
bl09d begins to stir In world-weary
veins like the sap stirring in the dry
old tree trunks, and the mind goes
back to the days of youth when mak
ing maple sugar was an annual gala
time.

That women will stick to their .new
jobs in the Industrial world after the
war Is over Is the conclusion reached
by several Industrial commissions
which have recently Investigated the
problem. For a problem it has be
come, writes Frederic J. Ilaskin of
Washington, D. C It is estimated
that 1,000,000 women have entered
American industries since the war
began, the majority undertaking jobs
that were formerly supposed to be
only within the masculine capabili
ties. All this widespread employment of
women, however, has been looked
upon as merely temporary, It has
'been taken for granted that during
the war women would fill the places
of men,, and that after the war was
over they would politely hand them
back again. But two things have oc
curred to upset these optimistic cal
culations. Women are exhibiting sat
isfaction with their jobs and their
employers a satisfaction with their
work.
In Europe, for example, where the
substitution of -women In the places
of men has proceeded to an even
greater extent than in this country,
women have developed an unexpected
liking for men's work. Women cooks
and shop girls and seamstresses are
becoming Tapidly scarcer in England,.
It is reported, for the women all in
sist upon either tilling the soil or
making munitions.
In this country, too, women areCbe
glnnlng to show a certain preference
for masculine jobs, largely, no doubt,
for the reason that they pay the most
money. At a meeting of labor dele
gates a short time ago an attempt
was made to pass a resolution exclud
ing women from certain occupations
that were considered harmful for
them, but it failed. '
"Women may some day be presi
dents of the United States," was the
protest voiced by a workwoman, "and
It would be a mistake to exclude them
from the opportunities that any job
offered."
Another popular belief to be shat
tered recently Is that women look
upon their work as a stepping-stone
from school to marriage. Investiga
tions have shown that the majority
of the women workers who marry
these days hold onto their jobs, even
when it is not absolutely necessary.
These are some of the reasons why
close observers of the Industrial situ
ation predict that women will not
cheerfully relinquish their jobs when
the war is over. But, after all, this
Is a question which must be solved
to some extent by employers. Hence,
it is Interesting to see what they al
ready have to say about the replace
ment of -men by women.
As one manufacturer points out:
"A woman is not as strongly built as
a man; she Is not so tali, her reach
Is not so great, she can not stand for
so long, she. Is not physically adapted
to lifting and carrying heavy weights,
and she requires many conveniences
which mn do not require."
In his shop, this manufacturer
says, he has Instituted carrying trays
which are so constructed that: no
woman can obtain a load over 50
pounds In weight, unless the size of
an individual piece makes this limit
impossible. Stools and chairs are
provided wherever there is room, and
short rest periods one in the morn
ing and one In the afternoon have
been established.
. The employment of women also
presents certain psychological diffi
culties that are not always encoun
tered in the employment of men. In
the first place, one employer asserts,
experience has taught him to be ex-

tremely careful about the characters
of the women he employs, for the Im
portant reason that one undesirable
woman can completely demoralize a
whole department Either her Influ
ence is bad, or the other women will
resent her presence and resignations
without explanation will follow In
rapid order.
One manufacturer says that women
between the ages of IS and 31 make
the -best workers. Girls under IS
have not usually reached their maxi
mum physical development, and
above the age of 31 have become too
set In their ways to learn new pro
cesses quickly or to adapt themselves
to new conditions. This particular
gauge of efficiency might apply
equally to men, he fTdmlts. '
There is one great difference be
tween men and women mechanics,
however, which manifests Itself early
In the training of the woman worker.
Women have no mechanical knowl-'
edge, as a rule. They do not realize
the importance of dimensions, nor do
they pay any attention to mechanical
strength or requirements. They do
what they are told to do and never
seek to question the reason for It.
This is sometimes annoying In the
beginning, but satisfactory in the end,
since when a woman once masters a
mechanical process her work Is uni
formly good, whereas a man who pos
sesses a certain mechanical knowl
edge will produce uneven results. At
least this Is the experience of one
manufacturer.
Another ' manufacturer believes
that clothes are one of the most Im
portant considerations in the employ
ment of feminine labor. He says that
women are more self-conscious sex
conscious, he calls it than men. In
their desire to attract men they make
clothes their greatest ally. Hence,
says this observing employer, the
woman who Is better dressed than
her neighbors Is always self-conscious
and therefore less efficient, and the
same Is true of the woman who is not
ai well dressed as the others. The
only way out of this difficulty is to
Insist upon a uniform.
The uniform, of course, is the
greatest safeguard against industrial
accidents, but it also makes the fac
tory safe for efficiency. There is
nothing like a plain blue uniform of
some unfadable material to .keep
peace in the factory. The' women
may object to It In the beginning, but
"it, is a peculiarity of feminine psy
chology that women will accept any
ruling,, however disagreeable., provid
ed it is enforced impartially and no
favoritism shown," is the Interesting
conclusion of this manufacturer-psychologist.
There is a difference of oplulon
concerning this point, however, for
another employer comes forward with
the statement that women are not as
jealous, as men, if there is a just
reason for the favoritism shown.
Thus wljen the management of his
factory learned that one of the wom
en workers was attempting to sup
port a paralyzed husband and three
children and gave her a more remun
erative job, the other women did not
object at all, but congratulated the
management.
But from' this it may be seen that
there is a wide difference in the psy
chology of the male ami female work
er a difference that must be taken
into account by all employers. Some
even go so far as to assert that there
Is a difference between women and
women, the masculine type of woman
being much harder to deal with than
the feminine type. Stjll these diffi
culties encountered in the employ
ment of women do not appear to be
insurmountable, if one may judge
from the ever-Increasing number of
women handling Industrial jobs.

STANDARD TELLS HOW
. TO SAVE MORE OAS
The Ashland office of the Standard
Oil Company has recently received
a list of suggestions on methods to
save more gasoline. These sugges
tions are recommended by the Na
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. The rules not only save more
gas, but users of motor vehicles
be benefited personally and individ
ually through more efficient and
more economical operation of cars.
Here are tho yules:
1. Store gasoline in underground
steel tanks.
2. Use measuring pump and hose.
They prevent loss by fire, evapora
tion and spilling. v
3. Don't spill or expose gasoline
to air It evaporates rapidly and U
dangerous.
4. Don't use gasoline for cleaning
and washing use kerosene or other,
materials to cut grease.
5. Stop all gasoline leakage.
Form habit of shutting oft gas at
tank or feed pipe. '
6. Adjust brake bands so they do
not drag. See that all bearings run
freely. '
7. Don't let the engine run whel
car is standing. It is good for start
er battery to be used frequently.
8. Have carburetors adjusted at
service stations of carburetor or au
tomobile companies. They will make
ordinary adjustments without
charge. .
9. Keep needle valve clean and
adjust carburetor (while engine 13
hot) to use as lean a mixture as pos
sible. . 1
10. Pre-heat air entering carbu
retor and keep radiator covered In
cold weather. This will insure bet
ter evaporation. ,
11. See that spark is timed cor
rectly with engine and drive with
spark fully advanced. A late spark
Increases gas consumption
12. Have -a hot spark. Keep
plugs clean and spark points properly
adjusted.
13. Avoid high speed. The aver
age car Is most economical at 15 to
23 miles an hour.
14. Don't, accelerate and stop
quickly it wastes gas and wears out
tires. Stop engine and coast long
hills.
15. Cut dotfn. aimless and need
less use of car. -Do a number of er
rands in one trip.
16. Know your mileage per gal
lon. Fill tank full and divide odom
eter mileage by gallons consumed.
