sir.-I write you to ask if you do

as a just plan to publish the names
of the true and loyal Americans who
have offered their services to the ma
ton. 1t is hard for a man to walk the
streets and hear the insult, "Slacker!"
when he has offered his services. Some
of us have failed to pass the medical
examination. Others Of us are regis
tered in every bronoh OF the service
and are awaiting the call to do our
little bit in any way we can. And yet
we must endure insults because we
have no way of letting it be known
that we are true blue.
If some way could be found to fur.
nish us with some mark so that the
boys already in the service would
know us. we would be shown more

WOMEN NOW TRACTOR PILOTS
Female Labor utilized Extensively In
England 10 Operate Big Machines
American Girls Drive PIows.

According to government reports.
the drawing of Of large numbers Of
men for work in munition factories
and for the army and navy already
has created a serious labor shortage
for agricultural work which can only
be made up by the employment of
women, observes London corre-
spondent. That this is inevitable
is proved by the experience of Eng
land, where today it is mandatory to
employ at least 20 per cent of fe-
male labor in all industrial plants,
and where the need for the use Of
women to work on farms and the
adaptability of tractors for use by
women have been demonstrated.
That women in Great Britain are
now operating tractors was brought
about by an organization known as
the Woman's legion, headed by the
marchioness of Londonderry, which
has been training women to operate
these machines. Under the auspices
of the Woman's legion large num-
Der of tractors are now being used in
the counties Of Rutland, Hampshire,
Worcester and Northamptonshire.
The tractors pull four bottoms and
pillow from five to six times the acre
age done by a team in the same time.
American women in various parts
of the United States are now operat-
ing farm tractors. A number Of en-
ergetic American girls have been
driving tractors on the land of the
agricultural school at Farmingdale,
N. Y.
