Woman's Viewpoint—
Young Workers
Urged to Train For Peacetime
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer THOUSANDS OF youngsters today get salaries which would have seemed fabulous to their fathers and mothers at their age. Therefore part of our postwar planning should include efforts to make them understand that such wages are abnormal, and are not likely to con_tinue long. Otherwise they may become puffed up with conceit about their earning capacity. Many of them have already done so. The girls, especially, are in a precarious position. Many with little training have stepped from high school into industry. They are given fat pay envelopes, and one only needs to talk to employers or to watch their work to realize that they do not earn the money they receive. Yet because of the manpower shortage they see employers bidding for their favor. They are not exactly allowed—they simply take—all sorts of privileges which in ordinary times. wdtild got be tolerated in offices or factories. tJ 2 8 BEING YOUNG AND having no experience with normal business life, they are certain to become arrogant; and by considering themselves indispensable, they may come out of this war with a wholly cxaggerated idea of their worth. The intelligent ones will regard this period as a training time, thinking more of their future professions than of present wages. Foresight should warn of the keen competition they'll have to: meet when the war is over, Then millions of men will return to industry, and many women will be forced to step out of their jobs. Only the topnotchers will remain, and it is as sure as death and taxes that mediocre workers will find
-| themselves shoved into mediocre positions with less money in their
pockets. Smart girls should make their own postwar plans, by learning as well as earning. For the time is coming when only skill and intelligence can open office doors to them.

In speaking of the need for improved educational standards, Mrs. Kletzer called for “a revised community attitude toward schools and the importance of public education. “A basic premise in our concept of democracy,” she said, “is equality of opportunity. But we do not have equality in educational ‘opportunity. Preference is given according to the place in which the child finds himself.” There is a discrepancy, she pointed out, between educational advantages of city and rural pupils. “We live in a mobile age that is characterized by great shifts of population. If a bad job is done any place, it canzbecome the liability of the entire nation. We do not quarantine communities because of illiteracy.” Talks on Haspital
“Our attitude toward rural education needs drastic revision. . . . We must change the status of the rural teacher both in the salary we pay and ‘the honor we accord this service . . . 360,000 teachers in the U. S. receive less than the minimum salary for charwomen in the nation’s capital. We must begin placing the importance of working with our human resources on a level with working with material resources. . . . Little . children are not expendable.” The first reading of a proposed revision of the state congress’ bylaws was presented this morning by Mrs. Harry Bain, fifth ‘vice president of the organization, and Mrs. L. Ohaver, sixth vice president, gave the first reading of resolutions. Provisions of the resolutions, to be voted upon at tomorrow morning’s session, covered development of a better program of nutrition, health and recreation for children; development of a school program adjusted to meet changing patterns of life’ and intensification of the congress’ health and safety program.

DePauw Dean Speaker
Dr. Edward R. Bartlett, dean of DePauw university, spoke at last night's meeting on “Design for Tomorrow.” “On the home. front, we can not be content with praising democracy; we must go further in practicing it, especially in overcoming class distinction and race prejudice. On the world front, we must help lay the foundation for a world political ord| der, based upon a world court and an international police. “The design includes equalization of educational opportunity throughout the nation. Six life memberships in the Indiana congress were presented at last night’s session. They were given to Mrs. Edward Watskin, Hammond; Mrs. Bain, Martinsville; Mrs. Frank Rieman and Mrs.’ D. R.

The problem with the top-heavy figure which makes it more difficult to solve than many others is that, with the wrong foundation, the "silhouette shifts noticeably as the figure moves from a standing to a sitting
position. This obvious change in|: silhouette is the result of bad cor-|:
setting. A woman with a topheavy figure, which she wants to make look smaller and youn, r than it is, often wears a foun tion that is too heavy and too rigidly boned. When the woman
is standing up, the figure looks: well corsetted and her silhouette]:
seems graceful and lissom. BUT when the woman sits down, her figure looks altogether different, her
minimized when she is standing now becomes accentuated when she is in a sitting position. The reason for this is: the stiffness of her heavy foundation pushes the bustline up, whenever she sits down; giving her a puffed-out, topheavy silhouette of the pouter pigeon. It is ungraceful, unnatural and makes the woman took much larger than she: really is. To solve this problem we have selected the Artist Model Foundation sketched here. It is lightweight and lightly boned but the fabric is firm enough to give the average mature figure sufficient Santo from the waistline down. The detachable brassiere section is especially designed to minimize the bustline and also to give it a nice, young uplift line. It also has builtup shoulders and the back of the bra is so shaped it eliminates all flesh B at the top of the corset. The success of this foundation lies
