WOMEN SHELL MAKERS,

English engaged in the man

the same rates as men on piece work.
This concession was announced I'm a
letter from David Lloyd George to the

The decision on the part Of the British
Government is attributed to the suf-
fragists. who have been agitating the
question OF equal pay for equal work
for women employed in the making Of
munitions practically ever since the
wal began.
The demand for women physicians
in England has increased largely be-
cause so many of the men physicians
