The growing realization that women
are indispensable to industry
in its need for a large number of
workers and tfiat industry is indispensable
to women in their struggles
to earn a living has led t? a
greater interest on the part of the
public in women who are in gainful
employment, the women's bureau of j
the United States Department of
Labor points out in its eighth annual,
report, which has just been publishes
Not ouly is this growing interest
traceable to the constantly increasing
number 01 wage-erning women,
but to the fact revealed by investigations
that many women are not
transients iu industrial work, leav-;
ing their jobs when they marry, as I
a large part of the public formerly {
believed. A great number of women 1
are as permanent in Industry as are j
men, the report states. Some of!
them never, marry, and of those who j
do many are forced to continue In, |
or later return to. industrial jobs, to j
supplement the family Income.
The public is gradually coming
to realize also, tht? report goes on[
to say that not only is it important :
to consider the problems of women ;
because they are producers of oco- j
nomic goods, but it is important to
safeguard them in the Interest of
the nice, since as mothers of po- j
tential mothers they arc' producers j
of future citizens, if industrial forces
aro permitted to drgw 'to heavily!
upon the time and energies of wo- >
men employes, then industry becomes
a menace not ouly to them asj
Individuals, but (o their children.
By means of its various activities
the women's bureau has been largely
responsible for riveting attention
upon the problems of women woric-1
ers. Its year's program covered the j
following general activities. A large
industrial conference; investigations
of conditions of employment for women:
special studies of problems
particularly related to wage-earning
women: the inauguration of an extensive
survey of the effects of special
legislation on the employment
of women: res. arch work along many
lines connected with wage-earning
women; educational work involving
thg preparation and circulation of
bulletins, special data, popular and
technical articles, and exhibit material;
and the planning and preparation
of special exhibits for the Set
qui-centennial exposition.

conditions of employment of women
in five state ? Illinois, Oklahoma,
Mississippi, Tennessee, and Delaware
whil0 two special studies deal with
:h0 important subject of changing
) jobs or labor turnover. "One important
conclusion to be drawn," the
bureau emphasizes, 'is that if frequ'ent
changes of employment are inev|
itable under modern industry then
' ? ownlAumont I
different n.etnous m
management and industrial relations
and tactics different from those now
in vogue will have to ho worked out."
I In a study of lost tim^ and labor
turnover in IS cotton mills?uiuo
in tlie North and nine in the South
it was found that the turnover
rate in one year for women was
Hi.'.5 percent, and that for men 142.1;
aud that the rate for men and women
combined in the North was 94.9 percent
as against the rate of 1S9.5 percent
in the South.
Personal reasons were responsible
for 70.7 percent of all separations
of women from mills home
duties and illness being the chief
causes.
The status of women in Federal
oiii0oynu nt, foreign-born women
in industry and women workers in
Flint, Mich., constitute other interesting
special studies conducted by
the wombn's bureau. The purpose of
the Flint survey was to secure Information
concerning the ecouomic
status of wage-earniug women, their
training and experience, the occupations
and industries in which they
I wer0 employed, their hours, wages,
I general working conditions, seasonal j
; employment, and underemployment.
This survey of worls opportunities
and of the potential woman labor
supply in a representative one-industry
city is thought to be of general
interest to the industrial world as
a whole.
As to the future, the women's bureau
feels that there is a broad field
of work and a stupendous task ahead
for it. Definite data giving current
! information about married women
workers is needed nnd a careful and 1
scientific analysis of the advantages j
and disadvantages of tke piecework I
system in comparison with timo
work would be a valuable contribu- j
tion to the industrial world. A care- j
ful study, too, of posture in connec 1
tiou with the job is needed and |

We &re having damp and rainy
weather now, tho not cold, we hope
for a change soon, as this kind of
weather alleys seems especially
favorable to colds. There seems to
be quiet a number of cases of Grippe
and cols among the people at
present Otherwise, the health of
most of the folks seems good.
Farmers have about finished gathering
corn, and have done some
fall plowing. Cotton is about ail
picked except perhaps some late
frost-bitten, cracked bolls, which
will not be worth picking at present
low prices. Farmers in this locality
have certainly played ? or, rather,
worked a losing game this yea.-. The
late dry .spring which retarded the
growth of our crops, and the constandt
rains later, which grew an
immense weed on cotton, with late
fruitage, combined with early frost
in autumn produced a combination
of circumstances very disastrous to
the cotton crop, causing us to realize
considerably less money on the
crop than had been spent for fertilizers,
to say nothing of the labor of
making the crop. The crop of corn
and peas is better perhaps, but prices
ar elow on these farm products.
A Christmas program will be given

for the Children is planned.

CHEVROLET STORY
More than 40,000 motorists have
taken advantage of the Chevrolet I
six percent Purchase Certificate
plan since the Inauguaratlon of the
idea in 1924, according to an aunoucement
today by the Chevrolet
Company. t\Ji<|e-?ijr'ead| popularity
of the plan Is accounted for In the
money saving features of the arrangement
and that through this
means it is easy for anyone to accumulate
the down payment on a
Chevrolet.
The plan was developed and copyrighted
by the Chevrolet Motor Company
as a result of a survey which
show^ dthat the average mo.torist
drives his car three years and pays
for it in the first year. It was found
that during the entire time the car

Through this plan, the Chevrolet j
company has made it possible for ?
the purchaser to accumulate the '
down poyment on a car without dlf- '
ficulty, to enjoy the advantages of
buying for cash and to save six per-1 j
cent on the money invested in cer-1 j
tificates. It also enables the motor- 'J
ist to pay something on his new car J
before his old one is turned In, there- {j
by reducing his later payments. <
The Chevrolet Motor Company has j
made arrangement with nearly 4,400 <i

in addition to the six percent
interest on the money invested in

Each succeeding month is showing

company reports, with every pospect
indicating a record sale of certificates
in 1927.
