Old Country Maids May Organize Union Shortage of Domestic Help in Britain Since the War, it is Said. f Canadians visiting the Old Country for any length of time and becoming familiar with the interior economy cef private homes and boarding houses are impressed with the fact that most old abodes have basement kitchens, and that in ~a land where central heating is mostly confined to hotels and suchâ€" like, domestics have to toil up and down stairs with coal for, or ashes from, the various grate fires. Though there are compensations, domestic serâ€" vice in Great Rritain does not look atâ€" tractive to visitors from our side of the Atlantic. Solid as the Continent AMERICA M LIEE Representatives E.

Ever since the Great War started and munition factories and other activities to absorbe young women in tens of thousands, there has ‘been a aomâ€" estic service problem over there. And it would seem to have become mor»e ecute of late. The oldâ€"fashionmsd Mary Ann> of the English kitchen has wellâ€" nigh disappeared. For some time, we are told, British hsusewives who can afford the luxury of hired help (and many of them would sooner have a maid than an automobile) have been importing Austrian girls to work for them. Mary Anne From Austria Not all thesse Austrian domestic work>rs were that to start with. Some were shop and factory girls and some have turned Mary Annes to perfect their English, and with a view to betâ€" ter jobs and better pay at homeâ€"if Hitler doesmn‘t crab the game. They take a municipal course in English cookery and housekeeping before they 6 ["l 3414¢" leave Vienna, says Oharles Pound, wriiâ€" ing in the New York Sunday Times, and they are supposed to acquire enâ€" ough English to get along with the butcher, the baker and other tracesâ€" mer. The ministry of labor gives tham permits to remain or» year in Britain â€"extensions being rarely granted. But for many of them that year abroad is a good investment. A knowledge of English is valuable in Austria where British and Amcrican tourists flock, or did floek until the Fuehrer took it over. In smaller British households of late it would appear, the maid often works on a "sliep out" basis. She will arrive at 9 am. and leave at 5.30 except on Sundays and one woek day whoen she quits at 1.30 pm. For this she can get 25 shillings or about $6,25 a week. I{i she tires of service she may getl a factory job. Many From Trade Union Compared to the maid who "sleeps in," her pay in shop or factory is cerâ€" tainly no kctter and may te much I{i she tires of service she may get a factory job. Many From Trade Union Compared to the maid who "sleeps in," her pay in shop or factory is cerâ€" tainly no kctter and may te much wors?. The latter maid gets $5 a week, plus her 4+som, board, lighting and laundry, and altogether her job may e worth $10 a week to her. On the other hand, though the latter gets two halfâ€"holidays a week, normally she is more or less on duty from 6.30 a.m. to 10 pm., not actually working all that time but tied to a bell. The shop and factory girl gets free evenings and weekâ€"ends, extra pay for overtime and gets more dances and rambles and visits to the movies. There is a move on in Britain to improve the status of the domestic worker,. An approach was made to it at a recent domestic services exhibition in London. On» of the 88 display stands was taken by the Trades Union Congress, anid tiutlers, fooimen, houseâ€" keepers, valets, chauffeurs, gardeners, cooks, ladies‘ "maids and general serâ€" vants were invited to say whether they wanted to be organized into a trade union. Would Limit Hours The idea was not only to give domâ€" estic workers a trade union status but to remove om» of the greatest Oobjecâ€" tions to domestic serviceâ€"its lack of liberty and of regular leisure. With this in view the Trades Union Conâ€" gress proposed a "service contract," to be s‘irned by employer and hired help, It would, amone other things, guaranâ€" te>» to the maid, eight uninterrupted hours for sleep, two hours for meals, two other hours for leisjure each day, two halfâ€"days off per week and 14 days‘ holiday with pay after one year‘s employment. Various other things were suggested at the exhibition. There were demonâ€" strations of beauty tratment for maids. There was a proposal that maids who had passed domestic trainâ€" ing courses with top certificates for proficiency should be entitled to the nam> of "chartered helps" and wear a monogrammed C.H. on their uniforms. It was also held that their pay should be $10 a week if they slept in the home where they worked, and $11.25 if they ‘‘slept out." for the Kiwanis Kar and other valuable prizes will take place at midnight Saturday.

When in London representing The Telegram I lived in a small 18th cenâ€" tury house on Craven St., where the elderly cook pleasant dumpy litidle woman who wore a tiny black Victorian bonnct would sometimes get fed up on working in her dzep basoment kitchen which was built before Wolfe took Quebec.

On> gathers, however, that laborâ€" saving Gevices and other improveâ€" ments, have, of late years, made doâ€" mestic service overseas less arduous than of yore. A recent instance of outstanding service rendered to a Canadian mine by Canadian Allis Chalmers was the delivery by airplane of a vital part to Central Patricia mine. A distance of approximately 1,700 miles was covered by the Canadian Airways "Flying Box Car" in order to rush a full mill head and trunnion weighing one ton, to the mine located in the Pickle Lake area. At the time the part was required, the plane was at Yellowknife. Pilot 8. J. McRorie received the urgent call and immediâ€" ately took off for Sioux Lookout where a Allisâ€"Chalmers part was waiting. Upper illustration shows the loading operation and the lower reproduction shows the part inside the big plane. Quick coâ€"ordinâ€" ated action, according to mine officials, averted a long suspension of operations.

French Royalty Victoria‘s Guests Empress Eugenie gave the queen a rose, a sprig of heliotrope and a fan, with a pretty namark about the rose being symbolic of England and the heliotrope always turning toward the sun. The fan was a work of art. The English guests had previously been showered with gifts, among them Meisâ€" sonier‘s finest picture in the exhibition, and a diamond bouquet holder.. The queen gave $5,000 to the poor of Paris. After this visit, Queen Victoria alâ€" ways spoke of Napoleon III and Emâ€" press Eugenie as personal friends. And it was to England and to receive her hospitality that they came after the battle of Sedan in the Francoâ€"Prusâ€" sian war in 1871. Queen Victoria‘s son, Edward VII, got to know Paris very weil. Often he arrived so unexpectedly that the officâ€" ials of the railroad station did not have time to order the red carpets spread. King George V, too, paid many visits to Paris. In 1914, just before the Great War, with Queen Mary, he paid a state visit and slept in the bed once belonging to Napoleon I. Now George VI is to occupy the same room. THMHURSDAY.
