tin, Texas, formerly president of the
American Federation of Women g
Clubs, at the speakers training camp
for education in patriotic service, she
urged the conservation OF food.
IF we do our duty by our allies and
the neutral countries over the seas,
there will be a serious lack Of meat,
potatoes and white -four this fall"
said Mrs. Pennybacker In this d.
lemma the government makes d.
rect appeal to women
The Pennsylvania railroad has es-
tablished a school in Philadelphia in
which it is training girls and women,
as we'll as men, to take the places Of
telegraphers and dispatchers. Girls
and women are taking to the hazards
Of railroading with. a facility that
proves them as ready to take the
places of men in the block towers as
to sew on comfort bags for the Red
Cross. a.. St@E2 t ~

~ Thee highest patriotic resolution a
girl MAY make today would be a dis
continuance of late hours, carefully
regulated diet, a dress suited to the
economies of our age of economy and
stiff program of work, including
school duties, which should make the
girl feel that life is worth while.
The officers who choose volunteer
workers are asking very fundamental
health and habits and it is to the
shame of any girl that she cannot
meet the requirements, when she is
needed by these patriotic men and
women workers.
