NEED MORE COLLEGE WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Industrial Expert Says Best Per sonnel Officers Come From Schools
"There is an ever-increasing need for college women in industry," said Miss Nell M. Reeder, industrial expert, before an audience of about one hundred students, Wednesday at 4:30 P.M. in Fraser Hall.
Miss Reeder claimed that women make he most efficient personnel officers in plants in which the majority of the employees are women. The personnel officer, she explained, hires workers from a certain set of cards when they leave or are discharged. He is a clearing house between the employer and the employee, and makes a particular study of the working conditions and environment of the workers from the standpoint of the employer and the welfare of the employees.
The best personnel officers are the ones who have had technical training in school, practical experience from industry, and are natural leaders of people.
"The lowest paid personnel officer I have placed," said Miss Reeder, "receives $1800 a year, and I always ask for a salary of $2400 for any woman I am able to help into an executive position."
Miss Reefer is particularly interested in women, but she said that the need for competent formen and superintendents, who have the interest of humanity at heart, is very urgent. "The day is past when a foreman rules all he sees with an iron hand," said Miss Reefer.
Italian Railroads to Use Electricity for Power
(United Press)
Rome (By Mail)—A proposal sanctioned by royal decree, to spend 800,000,000 on electrifying a section of the state railways, at a time when the government is preaching economy, in every department, is an important priority, designed instituted by Premier Nith, designed to meet the coal famine.
The electric power will, of course be derived from the vast hydraulic resources of the kingdom, which, it is estimated, if properly exploited,

Not all the railroads are to be electrified at once, but a section of track some 6,000 kilometers in length is to be started on, and this includes a section of the railway to the French frontier between Turin and Modane is already electrified. When the new power stations can be built, and the conduits laid, it is intended to utilize the power for many industries, a concern of engineers in places to come will have a far-reaching effect on Italian industry.

Austrian Debts Payable In Depreciated Krone
London, (By Mail)—The methods of dealing with Austrian diction to British subjects, as arranged for in the peace treaty are causing considerable dissatisfaction in commercial circles here, as it is contended that Austria is being treated much more leniently than was the case with Germany.
Under the German treaty, German debts are to be liquidated at the pre-war rate of exchange through a clearing-house committee set up by the Board of Trade. The Austrian treaty, however, decides that Austrian debt shall be collected by the creditors alone without government assistance.
To secure the University the city of Lawrence offered an endowment of $15,000 and forty acres of ground adjoining the city for a campus. Emporia offered eighty acres. The fight was the most memorable ever fought in a Kansas legislature. The first vote was a tie.
Australian trade belts due to British firms amounts to about nine million pounds, and it is contended that this will reduce the burden to heavy losses to British creditors.
Creditors will have to take payment at the present rate of exchange which considerably favors Austrian debtors for goods supplied before the war, and creditors from Austria may take eighty per cent of the debt, as far as British creditors are concerned. In the case of German banks, the German government undertook to make good any loss caused by the decline of the price of coal, or to severely wrot that no such provision was made for them in the Austrian treaty. The Austrian trader with debts to collect in England will be in a happier position, as he can obtain higher prices, or about times the present value of his Austrian krone.
