Show Girls Prove Efficient On Machine Shop Jobs DES MOINES. It used to be that a woman's place was in the home. Then she transferred herself to the office. Now nobody knows just where she does belong for in Des Moines more than 40 women are working in machine shops. Ten are doing small assembly and light press work. They range in age from 17 to 23 and are paid 35 cents an hour. "Girls of this age," according to the plant foreman, "acquire the manual skills of their job more quickly than boys of the same age. They seem to understand the whole idea of working at a job, and apply themselves more diligently." |
