According to a report of the Am- erican National Industrial Confer- ence Board, women in war-time ein ployment are showing a remarkable adaptability machine-shop work. The report summarizes intbrmation obtained from 131 establishments employing 335,015 men and 49.823 women and including 10,657 women engaged in work formerly performed exclusively by men' Their labor has ranged from the operation of 'drill presses and lathes to core-boring, inspecting and as- sembling mechanical products and performing many precise machine operations. 'In the main it has been confined to the lighter processes re- quiring rapdidity and dexterity, and in such work their output has proy- ed equal "10 and frequently greater than that of male employees. This was notably true of women's work In automobile manufacture, and in a4 munitions plant manufacturing fuses, where women operatives on drill presses and milling machines were from 25 to 50 per cent. rapid than men. Women workers in the metal trades are commended by employ- ers as more thorough and conscien- tious than men. They mostly re. ive equal pay and work fewer hours than the legal limit. * They are pronounced . "'mare teachable" than men. Their employment Las been the cause of improvements in factory surroundings, such as safe- Buarding machinery, provision of hospital facilities, lunch-rooms and rest-rooms. They have rofised but littie-fopposition on the part of men employees. They have altogether made a favorable impression both as to capacity and faithfulness. UNIFORM DIVORCE: 1 LAWS, The question of divorce seems likely to be again a subject for dis- cussion in Parliament as the pre- sent situation respecting the powers of tiie provinces is uncertain. Quite recently the right to render deci- sions was claimed in the, western provinces, and the Canadian Bar Assoclatidn in session in Montreal is &nxious to see the question of the Jurisdiction of the western pro- vinces finally determined.

I'd hate to have to sign my name to forty kinds of papers, before allowed to play my game and cut my useful capers. i'd hate to come when princes call, and go when they demand it; that sort of thing would stir my gall---methinks 1 couldn't stand it. Here we are free to live our lives with no avenger nearing; we run up bills and. beat our wives, and no one's interfering. No cheap policeman comes along and puts me in the cooler, because in some immortal song I ridiculed a ruler. My little home my castle is, where rhythmic storms are brewing; no punk inspector thrusts his phiz inside to see what's doing. But if the kaiser comes to reign, from o'er the Prus- sian border, I will not dare to chant a strain, without a written order. : -- WALT MASON. THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN By GENE.
