Women in Industry Women wage earners in England call for governmental consideration that make some of our own Depart ment of Labor output seem more or less trashy in comparison. Of course we have women workers in almost every occupation, but that is a far cry from the floods of women who have been called into munitions work and into auxiliary services in England. Driven by the pressure of war, the British government has faced the problem forced upon it as a practical matter, calling for practical measures. The British government offers, among other things, literature on personnel management, amounting to a real course of instruction. And this is a real problem in plants that have been accustomed to employing men, but which must now employ women al most exclusively. It is interesting to note that the government warns against "unproduc tively long" hours of work per day. Both Sir Walter Citrine and Ernest Bevin lend their experience and their backing to the work of the Ministry of Labor's work in smoothing the em ployment relations by factual, prac tical educational work so that indus tries, swinging over to women work forces because men are unavailable, may move on in the nation's war work with continuing full productivity. The United States will face this same problem shortly and it would be a welcome sign to see the beginnings of intelligent work toward readjust ment. It is not to be questioned that wholly different employment relations methods must be used where most of a work force is women than are re quired where the work force is all or nearly all male.

From 1745 to 1813, except for one period of nearly 20 years of unbroken peace, Ohio saw nearly a score of campaigns and battles, all fought for the control of this rich and strategic region that stretches from Lake Erie on the north to the Ohio on the south. In rapid and deadly succession, Indians fought Indians, the French and Indians fought the English, the English and Indians, the United States. It was no accident that Ohio should have been a battleground. On its northern and southern bor ders were unimpeded waterways to the West. Connecting these water highways were rivers whose sources were only a few miles apart. The Maumee led to the Miami the Muskingum to the Cuyahoga. Nor had nature erected barriers to make Innd travel difficult. Im portant trails crisscrossed the state in all directions. Ohio was truly a gateway—a gateway to the West and a gate way from the West back to the East. In addition, Ohio's soil was rich, the climate moderate. Her hard wood forests teemed with game, her streams with fish. As the frontier was pushed westward, to own Ohio farmland was the am bition of thousands of pioneers. It is only natural that men should have fought over this rich prize. Great cities, peaceful villages table mats buy some of the lovely hand-blocked linens in colors and pat terns inspired by tropical gardens.

Dice two ba nanas and simmer for a few minutes in 2 tablespoons butter. Turn at once into scrambled eggs just as they ^ire about to thicken. Finish cooking and serve at once. To slice a ham smoothly and evenly remove from hot liquid as soon as fin ished cooking and drop it in a vessel of cold water sufficient to cover. Let stand until cold. It will be moist and lose none of its flavor and be firm and easy to slice. Another interesting treat—mix as much crushed pineapple as shrimps, blend in a savory white sauce and bake in a shallow, buttered baking dish. Crab flake may be substituted for shrimp. Sprinkle potato chips lightly with grated cheese and put in the oven to crisp. Nice with drinks. Salmonburgers are just your regu lar recipe for salmon patties but shaped oblong to fit hot-dog buns. A nice change for picnics. Franks are also good split halfway through and stuffed with sweet pickle relish, wrapped with bacon and broiled over that out-door grate. Since we're in a picnic mood, how about mincing some skinned, boned, sai'dines into the egg yolk mixture when stuffing your next deviled eggs. Very tasty. For those summer salads here's a slenderizing salad dressing: 1 scant teaspoon sugar, teaspoon each of salt and paprika, 3 tablespoons min eral oil, 2 tablespoons garlic vinegar, 2 tablespoons salad herbs mixture. Blend all together, put in bottle and shake well. Store in refrigerator until needed. Cantaloupes are now plentiful. Have you diced one in small cubes and served with cream and sugar? Try it.

COUNTY TO BENEFIT IN NEW LEGISLATION Butler County officials this week tried to estimate the financial benefits which will accrue by reason of recent legislation of the Ohio General As sembly by which the state is to give credit for transportation and criminal costs (in state cases) for the years 1935 to 1940 inclusive. Conrad C. Stroh, Butler County clerk of courts, estimated the indebt edness of the state to Butler County on these items for the years cited will amount to more than $8,000. Of this perhaps less than $3,000 will go into the county treasury for clerk's and sheriff's fees. The remainder will go to municipal courts, justice of the peace courts, constables and others.

NEW BOARDS FOR PENSION SYSTEM Hamilton's firemen and policemen's pension funds must have new boards of trustees, Millikin Shotts, director of law, informed city councilmen in caucus Monday night. Shotts said the new boards would have to be named to comply with a recent decision of the District Court of Appeals.
