MUNITION PLANT
Washington, Jain. 17.—A muni
tion plant in Prance which main
tains a model i.ursery for the ba
bies of its women ©ninloyes is de
cribed by Dr. Esther Love joy, whaj
is attached to the Red Cross in
Paris, in a letter to Dr. Anna How-;
ard Shaw, chairman of the Wo
man's Commit* ee of the Council
of National Defense.
"I have been assigned to work in
Paris," she writes, "and have been
visiting intituiions for the help of
women and children in hospitals,
maternities, clinics, prenatal homes,
homes for nuNtu mothers and nurs
eries for children whose mothers
have replaced men in industries. At
a munition plant I visited recently,
provisions for pregnant women, who
are obliged to work, and for nurs
ing mothers and their infants are
interesting indications of the trend
of things under the pressure of
economic necessity."
"Six thousand women are em
ployed at this nlace and there is
a model nursery for the care of
infants. Wheu the mothers re
turn to the factories after their
confinements, their infants are tak
en, free of cost, and cared for by
trained nurses in a home built for
babies, not a corner in a house built
for grown people. The mothers of
these babies are allowed half an
hour every three hours tp nurse
their babies, and at night there
is one bottle feeding, which ar
rangement permits the mother to go
home at 6:30 o'clock and rest all
night without being troubled by
the baby. The babies are al
ways left in the nursery during
the night. If ideas of this kind
are put in practice during the war
and developed afterward there will
be some good at least out of the
evil of It all.'1
Dr. Lovejoy went to Paris as a
member of an American medical
unit. When the medical unit sys
tem was abandoned, she was ap
pointed second assistant medical
assistant in the Children's Bureau
of the Red Cross in Paris—a bureau
which includes women as well 6a
children. I PI*

, IDE U. S.
Washington, Jau. 17.—There are j
not enough ship draftsmen In the
United States to do the drafting
work needed *o carry out the naval
and merchant ship-building pro
grams. Our country is engaged in
the execution of the greatest war
ship construction plan in history,
comprising 787 vesesls, including aJJ
types from superdreadnaughts to sub
marine chasers. Naval appropria
tions aggregating nearly two bil
lions of dollars have been mad©
since August, 1916.
Coincident with the demand for
creased naval work there is an
equally urg-nt call for an Increase
of merchant ship construction. It
is betraying no secret to say that
in both branches there is a shortage
of technical men available for the
work. >
The United States Civil Service
Commission is endeavoring to re
lieve the dearth of shipi draftsmen
by recommending to the heads of j
colleges and technical schools that;
senior students in engineering cours-!
es be given intensive training in
naval architecture during the com
ing spring, with a view to making
them available for employment as
ship draftsmen in June. The Com
mission is also receiving applica
tions from qualified architectural,
mechanical, and structural steel
draftsmen, and is certifying them
for employment in the Navy De
partment and in navy yards on fchip
work.
Local boards of civil service ex
aminers at the post offices in aU
of the larger c'ties are furnishing
detailed information and applica
tion blanks. Applicants are
not required to appear in an exam
ination room for a written examina
tion, but are rated upon their edu
cation, training, and experience.
