Mrs. Guadina, living in a rear house at 231 Mulberry St. N.Y., a dirty poverty-stricken home, and making a pittance by finishing pants. On the trunk is the work of four days. She was struggling along, (actually weak for want of food) trying to finish this batch of work so she could get the pay. There seemed to be no food in the house and she said the children had had no milk all day. The father is out of work (sells fish) on account of rheumatism. Three small children and another expected soon. Location: New York, New York (State)

Whistle blows noon Opelika Cotton Mill. Smallest girl in photograph is Velma Smith a tiny little spinner with a steady job all day. I found her at home crying bitterly because her father refused to let her have any money out of the pay envelope she brought home. Mother said: "That haint no way to encourage children to work." Mother, father and several children work. Her mother admitted she worked here before 12 years old, and at Ella White Mill and one other city for about a year. Says they have no family record, but claims Velma is 12 now (which is doubtful). I saw her several times going and coming at 5:45 A.M. and noon. Location: Opelika, Alabama.

Sunday morning at Lynchburg Cotton Mill (Virginia) Ed Tolley, the smallest, said 15 years old, but that is very doubtfull. Others in these three photos, Lucien Tolley, Herbert Aultico, Henry Daly, John Crawley. (See my report for addresses.) Most of these boys could not spell own names.

Some were surely under twelve. All work. Lindsey Witt has been working there 2 years. Dewey Anderson, three years. Myron Cole, some time. Location: Lynchburg, Virginia.

Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service. Pretty as her picture is this young woman in the trim uniform that enlisted U.S. Navy WAVES will wear this winter. The smartly styled, comfortable uniforms are in the traditional "Navy blue" with a soft rolled brim hat. Women between the ages twenty and thirty-six with a high school education or its business school equivalent are eligible, providing they meet physical and aptitude requirements. After training, they will receive rating and pay commensurate with their experience and ability. The pay, incidentally, will be exactly the same as that for men in the same rating, plus allowances. The Navy particularly desires women trained as general clerks, secretaries, stenographers, duplicating machine operators, typists, file clerks, bookkeepers, warehouse clerks, stock clerks, radio operators, teletype operators, simplex and multiplex operators. Some, too, will be trained as aviation machinists mates, gunner's mates and for torpedo maintenance
