POSITIONS AFTER PEACE JS SIGNED SEATTLE', Wash.. Dee. .81. Wnshinntou will not have to turn many women out of their wartime oo euputious, believes Lawrence Wood, federal director in Wnshiutfton for the United States emplovmeut service. Senttlo railroad officials and others who employ mtiuv women have been quoted recently to the smuc effect, i'ubliu employment officials hope to send uuuiv returned soldiers back to the soil and let the woiuen keep their present posts, Mr. Wood said re cently. "Soldiers who formerly Per formed liiiht indoor work will be better-men if they ito to the laud." he as serted. "The question of disehdisiusr wo men is not very bis in this state,"' Mr. Wood added. "Wnshimtton was just beginning to employ women in hirse numbers when the war ended. Com pared with eastern states, our total of employed women is small." . Women in Washington replaced men in practically every occupation, according to the state labor commis sion. While the number was not com-, pnrntivelv lnrue, the women were placed in manv lin-x. Thev were in all the lighter ooeupitions. as clerks, janitors, taxicab drivers, elevator operators, meat cutters, laundry workers, bookkeepers and waiters. No record has been found, however, ol women emploved as motonuen. con ductors, policemen or firemen. : lOxen in occupation classified as "extra hazardous" bv insurance com panies, women were found.

NEW YtAR PROGRAM AT RIALTO THEATER "Wives and Other Wives," the American picture starring llary Miles Mlnter, which will 'be shown at the Rlalto theatre - tomorrow and Thursday, Is by all odds one of the most enjoyable comedies that has been seen in many a day. Written by Stephen Fox, a writer who can conjure up more comedy situations to the reel than any other author in the land, so it seems. It offers -Miss Mlnter the role of a young bride who, but a few days after her 4narrlage, discovers -that her husband spends too much time reading the papers. So she contrives a plan to arouse his jealousy. She lets him see her sneak ing some love letters into the fire and when he questions her regarding them she will not answer. Straightway is huoby Jealous The poor fellow doesn't know that they are letters penned by his own hand He leaves the house In something approaching a rage. Then come further complications complications 'that the little married lady neither bargained for nor expected. There Is a.Wbuloim person, another married man, who constantly crosses her path, and who places her In the most compromising positions that ever a young bride was placed In. To relate them all here would be to spoil the fun awaiting you at the Klalto the atre. , ' Miss Mlnter is thoroly charming In the stellar role, while the support she " receives from . Colin Chase, George Poriolat, William Garwood and Mlargaret Shelby (the star's sla ter) Is of a sterling order. Again wo repeat "Wives and Other Wives". 1b a real treat In the comedy line a series of laughs not to be missed. A Bruce scenic and a comedy fill out the bill, MEDFORD MAIL .
