What It Is What ItTays What It Leads To
Mm Elizabeth Arnold, of the State-City Free Employment Service,
v-ieveland, O., writes these editorials from first-hand knowledge, gained
By experience m employment work. During the war, when the Em
ployment Service was taken over by the government and called the
u. 5. Employment Service under the Department of Labor, she had
cnarge of the factory placement work, women's division. Her research
into working contfitiona for women has made it her duty to keep in
touch with opportunities, wages, conditions of work, training and qual
itications demanded, slack and busy seasons, crowded and uncrowded
vocat.ons and the future offered in new fields for women.
TELEPHONE OPERATING
BY ELIZABETH ARNOLD
Of State-City Free Employment Service, Cleveland, O.
If you are a. school girl, a college girl, a teacher, or if you are employed
u an industry which has a slack season, you may wish that you were trained
tor some special work so that you could depend on employment each summer,
or part time during the school year so that you could increase your wages or
earn enough to pay your expenses. Yet you may not care to spend a great deal
of time or money on your training. A number of college girls have acted as
telephone operators in their spare time during their college course.
The Field
Lots of girls make up their mind that they don't want to be telephone
operators without knowing anything about the work. There are many advan
tages to telephone operating that you may not realize.
In the first place you are paid while you train. The training is not long,
and you are assured a definite rate of increase at the end of two months and
further increase at regular intervals. When experienced, you axe frequently
able to get part-time work that pays very well, or you may take private
witchboard work in office buildings, industrial plants or public institutions.
The work is-"seated," which is a big advantage if you find it hard to be on
your feet or if you are tired of work that has kept you standing and want a
change. In case you stick to the work the supervisors' positions offer good op
portunity for advancement and good pay.
The telephone operator also works in a more protected atmosphere than
most women who are employed. Every effort possible is usually made to pro
Vide good working conditions, adequate rest and lunch rooms, rest periods, and
sanitary accommodations. Probably the greatest objection to the work is that
the telephone company has to serve the public all night.
. Qualifications
If you have a sensitive, throat, or are subject to coughs, if you have ear
trouble, or if you have a nervous, irritable temperament you would probably
find telephone operating very hard on you and should avoid it. It is semi
clerical work, rather confining, and requires good health and steady nerves. If
you are the right type the work will not wear on.
Girls between IS and 18 years of age average from $60 to $70 per month the
first two months, and girls over 18 years of age average from $75 to $85 per
month the first two months with Increases at regular intervals.

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH
Ann's Pet Raccoon Digs Up a Surprise
from Bob's Clothes
Ann's pet raccoon had proved himself
a persistent mischief maker. Ginger
was as tame as a kitten and as bother
some as a puppy. Ann carried him
wherver she went. When she became
interested in the event of the hour,
she set down her pet and promptly for
got him, and presently the party was
obliged to scatter to find the precious
thing.
Jim never spoke of him except as
"that darn coon." Jim's voice then
expressed much more than his words.
It takes only a trifle, sometimes, to
destroy masculine patience. Jim could
be a hero when the engine of his plane
stopped hitting 5000 feet in the air,
but "that darn coon' seemed as inevi
tably destined to destroy his happi
ness as the serpent did Adam's.
Little did I guess it could ever dis
turb my life when Ann held it out to
Deb on my veranda.
There is always a look of 'wonder In
Deb's eyes when she considers Jim's
wife. It is as if she were asking her
self, "Would Jim have loved me had I
been like THAT?"
Deb was politely unastonished to
find Ann petting a coon, and genuinely
interested in its cuteness. When our
talk finally turned from Ginger's diet,
Ann put the raccoon down, and as
usual, promptly forgot him.
Two hours later, after we had made
an exhaustive search of the house, we
discovered Ginger upstairs in the closet1
of my husband's room. The beastie
was nosing something sheer and white.
Ann picked it up. It was a woman's
handkerchief.
"I'm afraid he's spoiled it, Jane.
Naughty Sweetsie. Too bad, for it is
a wonder." -
I gave the handkerchief one glance.
It was a wonder and it was not
mine. ,
"My what a love of a kerchief,"
Ann cried, holding up the delicate
trifle for Deb to examine.
Deborah Burns loves all things beau
tiful and she scrutinized the fine hand
hemming appreciatevely.
"It looks like that Belgian girl's
work, you know, the refugee Mrs. Van
Wyck is getting orders for. That edge
must have been buttonholed under a
microscope," she said, then suddenly
CUTTING THE
FOOD COST
You cant expect the price
of food to come down
until the people produce
more food. In spite of
the hiCfh cost of wheat
and labor Sliredded
Wheat Biscuit sells
at a very little advance
over the former price
so small you will hardly
notice it. Shredded Wheat
is all food-the most real
food for the least money.
Saves fuel and kitchen
bother. Two Biscuits
with milk make a satis
fying, nourishing meal.

In the kitchen of her own home Sister Mary cooks
daily for a family of four adults. Shi brought to her
kitchen an understanding of the chemistry of cooking,
gained from study of domestic science in a state univer
sity. Consequently the advice she offers is a happy com
bination of theory and practice. Every recipe she gives
is her own, first tried out and served at her family table
.
If a floor has become badly worn in spots but does not
need refinishing all over, most anybody can give i1 a coat
of shellac.
The choice of shellac is to be recommended as shellac
has two qualities of distinct merit.
In the first place it is easy to use. Shellac flows from
the brush and does not gum and stick.
In the second place it dries over night. There is hard
ly a room that can't be closed up for 24 hours, at least if
one plans a little. A coat of shellac applied late in the af
ternoon will be hard enough to use the next morning, if
necessary.
Menu for Tomorrow
BREAKFAST Melons, scrambled
eggs with bacon, toast, coffee.
LUNCHEON Baked squash, bran
muffins, quince honey, tea.
. DINNER Fried chicken, corn frit
ters, lattice potatoes, fresh vegetable
salad, watermelon, coffee.
My Own Recipes
As long as possible use the fresh
vegetables for salad, tomatoes, cucum
bers, green peppers and a slice of
onion make a salad that has no equal.
Before many nights a frost will- nip
the vines and the days of "garden
sauce" will be a thing of the past.
BAKED SQUASH
1 summer squash
1 cup bread or cracker crumbs
A woman thinks a man
easy to cook for if he likes
the same thing she does.
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and paprika.
Cut squash in halves, remove seeds
and bake. When tender remove from
shell. Add egg well beaten, butter,
salt and paprika and three-fourths of
the crumbs. Mix well. Put in a but
tered baking dish, cover with remain
ing crumbs. Dot with butter and bake
15 minutes in a hot oven.
QUINCE HONEY
3 large quines
3 pounds white sugar
4 cups water
Pare and grate fruit. Put fruit,
sugar and water in preserving kettle
and bring to boil. Let boil thirty
minutes. Seal in sterilized cans.

she gasped, "Oh! Take it, Jane," as she
tossed it toward me.
Ann snatched at It with:
"I must see it again!" And she looked
as mischievous as her weird pet when
she spread it out and read the initials
in one corner:
"K. O. M."
She raised a pair of round eyes to
mine, caught her breath and giggled.
"For the love o' Mike! In Bob's
closet. Can you beat it, my dears?"
Perhaps the flush in my cheeks in
formed the silly bebe that she had
made a heart-breaking mistake, and
that Deb's attempt to save my pride by
tossing the handkerchief to me had
been a fine thing.
But since the secret was out, Ann
made the best of it. according to her
own light:
"I suppose Ginger found it in the
park,' she remarked carelessly. "My!
What strong perfume." she threw
the bit of linen to a wastebasket.
"Give It to me," I exclaimed.

ADVENTURE'S
OR -THE- TWINS
.by Olive Kobttrij. Barton.
ORRIE OWL TAKES A NAP
Everything was quiet in the Meadow Grove School as Mr. Scribble Scratch,
the fairy schoolmaster, gave out the sums.
This was the first problem. "If Billy had five mosquito bites on each of his
legs, how many bites did he have?"
Chappy Chipmunk held up his hand. 'Tlease, sir," said lie, Is Billy a little
boy, or a goat, or a daddy-long-legs, or a thousand-logger?"
Mr. Scribble Scratch looked over his glasses. "What do mosquitoes bite
mostly?" he asked.
Chappy thought a moment. "Little boys in their bare feet, I guess," he
answered.
"Right!" said Scribble Scratch and went on with the next question, while
everybody counted on his fingers and toes what two times five would make.
Now while they were all thinking hard. Orrie Owl in his hole in the tree
suddenly began to snore like everything. "Bz-z-z-z! Ilm-m-m-m!
, lai ' ' " - juuf; ,
Ln , 1" - - ' - - -u i I ilia in'T- "' -" --' -"'' .j-,' 'II l'...
"Ha!" said the schoolmaster, "I'll just reach in and give him a poke."
Bz-z-z-z!" he went like a sing-song old saw-mill. And you know how it is
when you see anybody yawn, or hear anybody snore, you fell sleepy at once
yourself.
Well, Immediately the whole school instead of counting out how many
bites Billy had, began to sniffle and yawn and str-etch so. that Scribble Scratch
ot cross
"Nancy," called he, "have you got that dunce-cap made yet? I think we'll
need several more before long, too." -
Pencils got busy then, and the fairyman tiptoed over to the hole In the
tree where Orrie Owl was supposed to sit.
"Ha'" said the little schoolmaster softly. 'Til just reach in and give him a
poke and wake him up. He can't come to my school and be so lazy. I won t
have It at all. I'll send Nick with a note to his father if he doesn t do better.
Suddenly he gave a yell. I wonder what happened.
