NEARLY HALF OF ALL
WOMEN IN GERMANY WORK

BERLIN, GeImany.-According to
the official municipal insurance bu-
reaus, the numter of women now en-
ployed industrially has advanced to
AIS per cent of all workers, as against
20.6 per cent 4 little over 80 years
ago. 1t rose from 24.5 per cent in
1907, an average year, to 1868 in 1914,
to 422 in 1915, and to AIS in 1916.
Whereas the number of women now
at work almost exactly equals the
number of men, in some industries fe-
male nelp far outweighs numerically
male help. This is especially the case
in the textile and the paper industries,
though the excess of women employed
seems in no manner to have lessened
the number of women who are now
offering their services.

FIRST BATTALION ENDS
TARGET WORK TOMORROW

For their last day of target work
under the 1916 season, the 1st Bat
talon, 1st Infantry, National Guard.
will go to Punchbowl rifle range to-
morrow. The season closes on De-
cember 81.
Because the time is growing short
in which the target practise may be
held, it is likely that the End and 3rd
battalioDs will consolidate for the two
Sundays remaining after tomorrow.
This fact was stated today at guard
headquarters.
Rain has been largely responsible
for delaying the target work in the
last fev Sundays oil practise. The
battalion tomorrow will shoot the rap

in command.
