Lost Motorman On 'Cook’s Tour’
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (U. P.). ~—A gtreetcar labeled “Mount Pleasant” stopped on “G” st, at 14th st, and caused a traffic inspector no little bewilderment. “Buddy,” he said to the motorman, “Mount Pleasant cars don’t come up here.” “I know they don’t,” the motorman replied, “but I took a wrong turn down on 5th st. I haven't been in that part of town for 17 years. What'll I do now?” After 30 minutes of maneuver-
ing, which included a sight-seeing tour for the passengers around the White House, the car finally got back on its own line.

For their benefit, and through courtesy of the Department Store Economist, let it be noted that the lady welder or riveter is completely feminine, and no blockhead. She is a high school graduate, loves the movies, goes shopping incessantly, is trying bravely to make her clothes last longer than they should and wears & corset or girdle while at work. Those aren’t suppositions. The Economist, one of the largest of the trade papers, set out recently to interview these women war workers—1000 of them. Thirty-six questions were fired at each one, to find out what she was like, _how the war had changed her life and what she was doing with her pay check. These are the plants canvassed by the interviewers: Wright Aero-

Take their leisure’ time. One says she uses hers to “spend time with sailors.” Another” reports, callously, that she “goes out with married’ men.” Another says she eats and sleeps, while still another (undoubtedly a holdover from the John Held Jr. era) cracks: “WHAT leisure hours?” You think that girls-in-slacks problem is serious?

and R. C. A. Manufacturing Co., Inc. : ® ow PERHAPS the most important conclusion drawn from the poll is that America’s women defense workers are level-headed. For instance, all of them are making more money than ever before—and yet, only 30 per cent are spending more money for recreation, while 50 per cent are saving for a “definite purpose after the war” and 99 per cent are buying war bonds. Seventy-seven per cent said they took their jobs to help the war
effort; 46 per cent (some checked both reasons). said they took them for increased income. per cent are making up to 10 per cent more than formerly; 27 per cent are making 11 to 40 per cent more, 25 per cent are making 41 to 50 per cent more and 6 per cent are making 51 per cent more and better. . Of the 50 per cent saving for a “definite purpose,” one-third are after a “new home,” another third seek new home furnishings and scattered others want furniture, electrical equipment or automobiles.

Seventeen per cent are 20 or younger, 65 per cent are 21 to 30, 13 per cent are 31 to 40 and the remaining 5 per cent are over 40. ” s ” THEY EVEN have ideas on the tax situation, believe it or not. Fifty-eight per cent, for instance, voiced approval of the proposal for a withholding tax, while 30 per cent liked Beardsley Ruml’s pay-as-you-go plan. But don’t get the thought that because they know what the score is, in the world today, they've forgotten how to be Hazy Daisies.

Thirty-five per cent are married, and spend their time “just waiting for him,” while 25 per cent have children. But at least one might be a good bet for a marriage-minded man.
