J 671 r6 GIRL HfiiALl M GJWEKl
Dr. Florence L. Mcfedith, However, Takes Issue With New
York Health Chief on Fashions Avers His
Deductions Are Unscientific
New Vorl, Uw. ii. "Like n gallant
knight vrrnnt, Doctor Copelnmi hns
rushed to the drfenap of whom? H1h
Bistrrs In the upward ninrch of clvllirn
tion? No; to the dcfcnuc of the girl
tvho it no n tu pid and yain and sex
ctnttred that php will tmrrlfirp any
thing, oven the health of her body, to
is in (his gallant admiration ; Hip girl
who In bo ailing that she has to ufp
ron ro to present ' n conntcrfplt of
health, who is po dirty that she ha
to ufc powder to rover up I? un
wholespmc ultln, who carps so little
about bolmr of use in the world thnl
nhe is willing to cripple herself, falsely
believing, as hundreds of girls hae
told mp, that 'men wouldn't like to
sec them in what they consider unap
pealing clothes.' "
This was the lomment. of Dr. Klor
V ' enre h. Meredith yesterdny, on read-
PhWhk Ing B. nccount of nn Interview with
" Health Commissioner Copeland, in
which-he-defended wearing high-heeled
xhncH. corsets, thin ,tdlk stockings and
the. Osd'of rouge.' on the ground that
(hesp- things- have not shortened the
Uvch of women and are notharmful.
Doctor Meredith is a girl health ex
pert. She tins made physical examina
tions nf 12,000 girls in her experience.
"Doctor Copeland's statement that
WINTKIt HKHOftTS
women are becoming longer Ucd, and
that .sanitariums for nervoui people
have not received nn unusiinl number
of patients, are, of course, not n scien
tific baBis for the deductions which
he makes," the voting physician con
tinued more calmly. "I do not think
high heels or corsets arc a cause of
premature death. They merely lower
efficiency. The woman who wears
them In merely less alive. She Is 73
per cent alive instead of 300 per cent.
"I take no issue with Doctor Cope
land on the question of thin clothes, pro
vided the health is such that the body
can keep itself warm. And if the
health is not such it should be made
o. My objection to very thin clothing
Is entirely a moral one.
"Most women have very vague ideas
nbout their responsibility in the matter
of tempting men away from what their
own ideals would have them cleave to.
Men Want Health) Women
"Iteturnltig to the other question of
the aesthetic appeal of lunotent
clothes to men, I think we are coming
to a new ideal. I think most, men, es
pecially kluce the war. Iimr got u dif
ferent interest in women and girls, and
I think the rcalirc that If women have
not reliable henlth they are of cry lit
tle use in any sphere of life.
"And I think the befct type of girl
generally feels that if sho has no way
of interesting men except by deform
ing lTer feet and her figure and paint
ing her face, she will go husbandless
believing singleness would be a blessed
ness ill comparison to lhlng with a
man who could Btand such a womnn.
Only the man who has low Ideals for
women and who docs not care how far
they get in life or how much comfort
they get out of living a somewhnt
hard-hearted and soft-headed man, in
short would care for such a girl."

The shcrrtage of houses and consequent high rents in the vicinity of your plants affect
you, as employers, in exact proportion as they affect your employees.
Your workers," unable to obtain-comfortable and attractive homes at fair rents, are bound
to become discontented:
Discontent reduces the efficiency of you workers. It destroys loyalty and creates fertile
ground for unrest.
Housing conditions at Hopewell are ideal. That's one of the big reasons why Hope
well is an ideal location for your manufacturing plant.

A3ide from this factor of discontent,
housing shortage prevents concentration of
workers in homes near your plant.
Have ou considered such a condition in
its relation to the number of absentees from
work and the amount of tardiness among
your employees?
The greater1 the distance they must
travel between home antt. factory, the
greater is the temptation to remain home
when the weather is bad.
The chances for delay in reaching wotk
in time also are increased in proportion to
this distance.
, It obViously is greatly to your advantage
lo have your employees live near the factory.
Lack of proper housing alone makes this
impossible.
No Housing Problem at Hopewell
Hopewell did not grow in haphazard
fashion. It was designed and built as a
model manufacturing city. Its residential
and industrial areas, while separate and dis
tinct, are perfectly co-ordinated.
Every Hopewell house is within easv
walking distance of a Hopevell factory.
In addition, Hopewell's homes are models
of comfort and attractiveness. They have
electric lights, water, plumbing and all other
modern conveniences. They have pretty
lawns and gardens and are surrounded by
well-paved streets. ',
What is equally important, there is no
rent profiteering. Hopewell workers can
buy their own homes cheap and on easy
terms or rent them for $11 -to f IB a month,
and there are no bfg electric light, water
and coal "bills to rat up earnings,
For manufacturers and executives there
aie houses beautifully situated along the
James River.
Big Opportunity for Manufacturers
The city's superb housing facilities make
it possible for manufacturers to move all
or part of their operative forces to Hope
well, if desirable, along with their plants.
This is not necessary, however, as Hope
well has aupply of labor, skilled and un
skilled, male and female, adequate for all
present and future need.
Hopewell offers a great deal more than
homes and labor. It offers factories ready
to turn on electric or steam power, and fac
tory sites with railway sidings already built.
Theso sidings enable you to load cars
right at your factory door for unloading at
the Hopewell wharf or at any point; in the
United States.
You can buy a small factory or a large
factory a small site or a large site. We
are not offering Hopewell to one manufac
turer, but to many manufacturers.
Hopewell's Great Advantages
As a manufacturing location Hopewell
has advantages that are unexcelled any
where in America.
It is part of the Petersburg - Hopewell
Industrial District and lies 23 miles south
of Richmond and 82 milp's west of Norfolk.
The district is" a rjaray center and a
tidewater port arid 3 . climate unsur
passed for health and industrial activity.
Hopewell has low-priced steam and elec
tric power, light and heat; a water purifi
cation plant with a capacity of fcO.000,000
gallons dail'; accessible raw materials, lew-
priced fuel, exceptional fire protection,
unique insurance terms, low taxes and ade
quate banking help to take care of Jill legiti
mate needs.
Put a Plant at Hopewell
If you are one of the following classes
of manufacturers you need a factory at
Hopewell:
The manufacturer whose plant is un
favorably located with respect to labor,
housing, transportation, raw materials, etc.
The manufacturer needing a branch fac
tory more strategically located to remove
competition handicaps.
The one-plant manufacturer who needs
another factory to protect him against loss
from a total stoppage of production.
The manufacturer requiring " cheaper
power, water, e,tc, to utilize a by-product, or
to carry on ione of his manufacturing
piocesscs.
Quick, Action Necessary
If you wish to take advantage of the.un
precedented opportunities at Hopewell, you
must act quickly. Wo intend disposing of
our peace surplus factories, factory sites
and other' industrial equipment without de
lay. We offer these to manufapturers direct
at attractive prices and on liberal terms.
