You learn by living - 1960
== == Women were trained to do machine work, to help to produce everything from air craft parts, to radios to boots to tires to,,,,,,,,,,,,You get the picture. Depending on her abilities and how she was trained, may women became expert makers of complicated machined parts that went into weapons and vehicle engines. Aircraft engines require perfectly balanced parts and they have to be made to close tolerances, and with no defects. Most war material plants had a small number of older, experienced men who had to train the women, who were taking the places of the young men who had gone into active military service. Once a woman was good at her job, she trained other women to do it as well. If she got really good at her job she might be promoted to a lead hand so she was supervising a "work group" of 10 to 20 other women, and she had to keep the work going and maintain quality control on the product being made. She was also required to keep track of their scarp amounts and make sure they were NOT wasting materials or goofing off in the bathroom. Music and jokes went a long way towards making the time pass quickly, even at 4 am on the over night shift. Not all women were able to do factory work, so they might wind up learning how to drive a truck, or a train. Or become a nurse or a lab technician.
The Teapot Dome scandal took place during the administration (1921-1923) of US president Warren G. Harding.
Teapot Dome is an oil field on public land in the U.S. state of Wyoming, taking its name from Teapot Rock, an outcrop resembling a teapot south of the field.
His Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, had secretly leased the Teapot Dome oil reserves in Wyoming to one Harry F Sinclair. For this and other corrupt acts Fall was convicted in 1929 of accepting a bribe, and sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of $100,000.
In 1921, by executive order of President Harding, control of U.S. Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming and at Elk Hills and Buena Vista in California, was transferred from the U.S. Navy Department to the Department of the Interior. The petroleum reserves had been set aside for the Navy by President Taft.
Although Harding was not involved in any of the shady dealings, Albert Fall was his appointee to the position of Secretary of the Interior and thus Harding's reputation suffered a severe and irreparable blow. (He was extremely popular at the time of his death when the scandal was just being exposed.)
The oil fields were restored to the U.S. government through a Supreme Court decision in 1927

Eleanor Roosevelt was very disciplined in her efforts to overcome feelings of self doubt that probably arose from events of her childhood. Both her parents were dead when she was still very young. She did not posses conventional beauty, and was indeed quite plain. She did have other personal characteristics that made her particularly attractive and charming to people. She always worked very hard in her life to become a good person and to offer her life in service to others. She is among the greatest first ladies in the history of our nation, because she was so selfless and strove to leave the world a better place. Eleanor Roosevelt achieved that admirably.
