Notes from —
A Woman’s Workshop
LEARNING 1’Q GET ALONG TOGETHER
A new branch of instruction is now in operation in Toronto. Numbers
of women from the factory departments of great industries are being -in-
ntrueted in the art of .getting along with each other. These are nurses,
forewomen, matrons, etc., on whom depends to a great extent, the harmony
that is so necessary if a maximum production is to be obtained. One can
dimly imagine the problems that must arise where such a vast number of
girls, of such varied temperament and training, must work in such close
collaboration. When one comes to think it over, it seems as if it is a sub
ject upon which we might all put a little concentrated study. It, seems a
strange thing, but true, that women who would actually be capable of
dying for each other, can yet be terribly unhappy if compelled to livfe in
the same house. The two women who love a man most, his wife and his
mother, are proverbially incompatible. The mistress and maid problem
seems never to be settled.
All signs point to a very close future, when necessities of fuel and
food will compel relatives to “double up” for the sake of sui’vival. Today
is not too soon to begin learning the art of adjustment.

THE PASSING OF 5IAY ROBSON
heaven’s Hallowe’en sandwiches:
May Robson, one -of the best-
known and best-loved of all actress
es, passed away last ■ week at her
home in Hollywood. For fifty-eight
years she was a familial' figure on
the American stage, latterly filling
with truth jmd dignity the roles
. of older characters and passing from
the legitimate stage to the movies
without impairing her reputation as
an actress. Like the late Marie
Dressier, she was universally lov
ed within and without the confines
of her own profession, where she
will be greatly missed by its young
er members. It is such as she who
keep the art of the stage and sceen
at its high level of dignified expres
sion. During her long career she
must have brought entertainment
and relief from care to many thou
sands of hard-pressed souls. Who
can estimate the value of a mission
such as hers?*

by mixing with a tablespoon of but

Production of beverages by Can

November 1 and the entire output
of these plants will be devoted to
war needs. The plants will be used
for the manufacture of synthetic

RATIONING IS A BLESSING
For fifty years the consumption
of sugar has been increasing in
this country, reaching the astound
ing total of two pounds per person
a week, which means that the aver

daily from sugar. That's a lot of
