rpiIE Tommy Atkins Day out at Eddie
Cassatl's place in Berwyn was a de
lightful affair and the world and his wife
turned out to attend. Lieutenant Sutton
was In charge of the golf putting tourna
ment and gae two prizes himself for thf
winning man and woman. The war movies
were splendid and tho kiddles had a mighty
, good time, too. Mis, Caseatt was here,
there and everywhere, looking as pretty as
a peach and being a most charming host
ess. rpODAY the Main Line Canning Centers
--' will open In Ardmore, Bryn Mawr and
Wayne and relays of workers will be In
charge each day. It Is to be run on a
m3re finished plan this year than hereto
fore, and It Is probable that the entire
undertaking will be self-supporting.
Everything has been organized, you know,
and tho working conditions well systema
tized. Good luck to them!
if
QUE was going out of (own for the week-
end. and as Kitty had asked her to
take the 4:43 train there would not be
much time to do all the Important things
.Which just had to be finished up that
Week. First of all there was an Emer
gency Aid meeting, and when that was
over and a very "Hoovcrlih" luncheon had
been partaken of shei was hastening along
Bioad street. Glancing up quickly at
"Billy Penn," she saw that It ws already
twenty minutes of 3, which lcft Just an
hour to finish up all that shopping!
Nothing daunted by the sizzling day, she
plunged ahead and succeeded in getting
everything even to tho caps for the aides
to wear at the lawn foto tho next week.
Then with a slgVj of relief she stopped In
and bought a box of candy for Kitty's
, mother, and as sho reached tho corner of
Twelfth and Market streets was meditat
ing upon tho possibility of purchasing a
bunch offlowers in the few remaining mln-.
utes when suddenly she noticed that her
umbrella was gone!
Now this was not an ordinary umbrella
nv It would probably have shared tho fato
ef all Us owner's previous ones; but this
was a very speejal "Christmas present um
brella," tho kind that even has a llttlo
leather strap to carry It with, so that tlioro
was really not the slightest excuso fol
lowing it. All of this flashed through her
mind whllo she glanced up at tho. clock and
tried to decldo whether or not It was pos
sible to get all tho way back to the apron
counter, threo blocks away and thrco floors
up, anoNback again to the Reading Ter
minal within seven iiiindles! For her rep
utation for punctuality was also at stake.
As sho felt quite suro that It must have
been during tho selection of tho caps for
the waitresses that the umbrella was for
gotten, she RAN back to the counter and,
sure enough, there was the cherished gift!
Three and one-half minutes now remained
and the descending elevator (.eemed-just to
miss connections at each floor.- Finally
they reached tho street floor, and with
bag In ono hand and 'umbrella tightly
clutched In the other, with straggilng hair
nnd, flaming checks, she dashed for that
train.
Along Market street she flew and un ti,.
side stairs to the train shed, arriving with
a full lialf minute to srare, BUT there

BEAUTIFY THE HOME
WITH WILD FLOWERS
That Is, If you Have Not a
' Garden or a Con
, scrvatory
For thoe flow cr-loers 'who aic foitunato
enough to have their own gaidcns. well
(.locked with many -arletle-i of plants that
bloom from early spring until the end of
autumn, the question of flower arrange
ments for tho table scarcely requires a
thought. It Is so simple a matter to cut a
ascful of any exquisite garden bloom, Illy,
larkspur or rose, each one so dainty In It
self as to icquire no additionalal effort to
enhance Its charm. But It Is quite another
thing for those who, for one reason or an
other, have not the enjoyment of a garden,
and aie dependent on the flowers they find
In field arid wood for their household adorn
ment and decoration; jet the possibilities In
this direction arc almot unlimited, and the
scope for originality In color and design a
broad one.
Among the most common of ihe field flow
ers, so common as to bo generally spoken
of as a weed, Is one which It would be hard
to surpass In effectiveness as a border for a
bouquet or useful of wild flowers this Is
the wild carrot, or, as It Is sometimes more
fittingly called, Queen Anne's lace. Dainty
and transparent Itself, It combines beauti
fully with flowers of solidity and color, when
arranged around them, with the effect of an
old-fashioned paper-lace frill. One artist
made a charming centerpiece for her cottage
table with forget-me-nots from the brook
In a mass, edged around with a scattering
border of "plg-weeg." a little, rounded, pink
ish bloom that grows In such profusion that
It is hardly noticed at all. and. for a finish
ing touch, a solid lace frill of the sea-foam-tinted
wild carrot, Tho effect of this ar
rangement was so pleasing-that Its designer
pent a similar one totho local flower show,
where It received fiist prize among a dozen
wild-flower exhibits. The Queen Anne's lace
has a long Feason, so there Is almost no end
to the number of flowers with which It may
be combined, all the way from the pale gold
ecnlng primrose to the purple thistle of
autumn das

VOTE ASKED BY WOMEN
IN MUNITION FACTORIES
Delegation Visits Washington to
Seek President Wilson's Aid
in Obtaining Franchise
With additional thousands of women now
In munition plants and other Industries where
foimeily only men workers were employed,
arguments fiom women who seek the vote
have become intensified.
Eight women who handle IiIkIi eploslves,
with great danger to their lives, at the Bart-lett-llajwood
plant, Baltlmoie, tecently
visited Washington, repiesentlng thousands
of women workers, and demanded the passage
of the uffrage amendment as a war measure.
Their plea was:
"We need the vnle to protect our rights lu
munition plants, and we w.int to be recog
nized as citizens of the Government we are
helping to fight for'
Tluough the National Woman's party these
eight Baltimore women asked for an appoint
ment with President Wilson, to urge him to
obtain the thrco votes still lacking to pass
the amendment.
The women are Mrs. lxjttie Rhoy, Misses
Ruth Crelghton, Alice Do Ment, Bertha Wil
liams, Mary A kern, Hazel l.o liiun, Theresa
RehaU and Louise, Batman.
The following petition, which was left with
Senator France, of MarylamJ, was read Into
the Congressional Record by him and will
explain the position of tlie munition workers:
"Women w ir workers need th vote. They
need it to protect themtelvea and maintain their
efficiency, and they are convinced that it Is
their partlotii- duty, with their efflclene an
w-oikera In mind, to mako every effort to secure
the pasaace of the euftraire amendment at once
"So lone as tho Government dlacrlmlnates
agalnxt women, emploiora will discriminate
siralim them.
"Tho Government aa our work U as Im
portant aa the work of soldiers It admit that
we face the rlk of Injury and death as soldiers
face It but It dnea not remgnlzo us as litiieni
of th countr as aoldlers are.
"In the munition plants we are put In men a
places. The same production Is required of ua aa
of men. hul In uur right wc are nol made equal
vi lth men
"The American people do not realize how many
thousands of women are b'-lntf put Into the plates
of men called tntu the army. Kvery man In the
alt-lit loadlnc rooms In our factory will soon be
taken In the draft and women put Into these
shop, where aicldenta nctur almost daily. 1 hoe
of us who slan this letter are now fuse makers
and Inppectora handling the hbehest explosive.
"We want to do this work for the nnny: we
do not mind the danger: we do not care how hard
or dangerous the work becomes, but we aro de
termined a American women, and as tho ranK
and file of oung American women have never
been determined before, that wo will be recos
nUed aa citizens nf the Government we are Work
ins to defend and equals of ihe men wo flsht
with the arm wo make for them,"

Irihutions to War Hospital
The helping hand of the children of the J.
O Whlttler School, of this city, has been
felt In France and a letter of appreciation
has bbcen recehed from the Ar-cn-Ilarrlol
Hospital. The children of the school hae
been specially Interested In war work.
The letter leads:
"A line to tell you that we hac just
safely receUcd nine caes and are full of
gratitude. A special word of thanks to the
children of the J. a. Whlttler School, who
made for us a beautiful coverlet, which will
be specially useful now that we arc begin
ning to get our men out on the chaises
longues nnd the air In this northeast cor
ner of France Is a little keen. We are
splendidly stocked now In shirts and pajamas
as well as dressings. The socks are very ac
ceptable and pants and vests can never come
amiss.
"We give so many away to the men when
they leave and have to be fitted out. Just
at present we at haing much more move
ments than before, for we are getting a large
number of slight cases, the great desire being
to cure tliee and send them back to the
front as quickly as possible, and the heavier
cases we ale requested not to keep long, but
to moe on as quickly as possible to tho
Interior This means that there Is less con
sumption of dressings and more of under
clothing I think when I wrote to you last
we weie verj Inactive, having been ovacuated
so as to be ready for possible ble events on
this front Since then we have begun to fill
up again and now have 113
"There can hardlv be a very big attack at

mendous and teirlble things ate going on lu
the north But there Is a great deal of minor
activity: coups-de-malu are very frequent,
each side Intent on keeping the other there,
and thcie Is therefore no lack of work even
here. It Is a verj ciltlcal time In FUnders

WHAT WOMEN ARE
DOING IN WASHINGTON
IXfASHIXaTON has discovered a new pro
VV fession for women one dictated by press
of war necessity, but sure to Increase In Im
portance when peace conies a profession
promotjd only six weeks before from an oc
cupation to professional rank.
Hmployment managers have been few nnd
scarce among factories and mercantile estab
lishments, and those few have always been
men. Not more than three or four women
have tho right to hire and fire In our fac
tories a few more In stores nol more than
a dozen In the country, The Industrial serv
ice sections of the War Department, the
fleet corporation nnd the Department of
Labor have found this lack of trained per
sonnel Inanagers a serious handicap in the
Increase of production They believe that
more trained men and women In such posi
tions will quickly result In lower costs, less
filctlon and sustained output In all manner
of Government contracts
LAST March the first couise In employment
management vas opened In Rochester to
men who had had factory experience for at
least thtee vears, a high school education
and were more than twenty-five years old.
After six weeks twenty-four diplomas were
distributed.
On June .1 Rochester opened a second
couise, and llarvaid will follow with one on
June 24, Columbia probably with another on
July 8 The lequlremetits for entrance will
be the same except In one fundamental le
aped Women will be admitted on the same
terms with men.
rrilli: requliement of three jears' factory
J- cvpeilence Is so unusual that few women
have been found able to meet it On the
other hand, women arc speclallj qualified
lo att as eniplojment managers If properly
ttalned. To overcome th's the storage com
mitter of the Council of National Defense
has nnanged n piellmlnary couise of two
months' factoiy work under special Insltue
tlon to mepare for the Intensive six weeks'
couise in ruplovnient management.
Lotatiou and requirements for admission
lo this ptellmlnarj training have not been
fully detei mined, but will be announced
shoitly lu the meantime, Br.vn Mawr Cnl
veislty has opened n nine months' rourse
on eniiiloMuent management under Dr. Susan
Klngsbutj.
MISS MARY Ii. (ill.SON is one of those
rare specimen", a woman factory em
ploj ment manager She has been loaned to
the Government b her firm to arraugtt these
piellmluaiy coulees and to select the light
-jji t of women to take them Moic than a
bundled applications have alieady been re
ceived b.v the storage lominlttfe from women.
It kWlll he Mls Gilson's business to bolt
the desirables from the other kind.
Last winter Columbia Cnlverslt.v In New
Yoik arranged a class in the "Problems of
Peisonne Management" under Mr. Ordwav
Tead. which led closilj along the lines of
the present class In eniplojment manage
ment which will be given there on the open
ing of-the summer school. Applications for
this and the llarvaid class must be made to

IT IS not an easy thing to describe the
duties of a genuine employment manager ;
It might be well to say a little pr what they
ate not
lie or she must not be merely a welfaie
worker. KvperlMice has pioved that the
quickest wa.v to aioiibe friction between em
ployers and their woikeis Is to give them
"uiilirt" and nothing else.
The emplojes will piobably go out on
strike for derent wages' or hours of labor
and the willing welfare worker will lose her
job and quite properly, too. Another factoiy
w 111 be on record as opposed to "new-fangled
notions" because the real thing has never
been tried
An emplovment manager lilies all emplojes
and discharges them. She will be held bv
both sides responsible for condition whtch
make an emplo.ve want to slay or want to
leave. She Is the one directly concerned with
the percentage of "labor-turnover," one of
the costliest Items of expense in any factors
In her endeavors to reduce these costs sho
inu't cover a wide field, which Includes
health, recreation, hours of work, rales of
pay, afety devices, etc.
A NOTOUR course for women meant to sup
plement the work of the emplojment
manager and to provide her staff with a
trained specialist Is that to be opened on
June 26 at Mount Holvolte for the health
officers. This course has been arranged b
Dr Krlstlne Mann, ot the Indu'trlal service
section of the Ordnance Department.
