You are a woman. Tradition has it
| you not only can talk, but you do.
The woman's committee of the council
of national defense adds that you
should.
You should talk about the registra-
| ton day for women. You should ask
Mrs. Thompson, who lives across the
street, how she is going to register,
! ana you should ask Mrs. Jones. your
next door neighbor if she is going to
mention the fact she raises chickens
And as for that Mrs. Smith-the one
whose husband refused to subscribe
to the Red Cross-they say she isn't
going to register at all, The very
idea! You should put on your bonnet
| and run right over and tell Mrs. Smith
just why she should register.
OF course, you know what to tell
| her. You will tell her that Uncle Sam
wants to know what all the women
can do. just how far they can be de-
pended upon to AXE the places of the
men, in what occupations they are.
and what service they are giving
There is no reason for Mrs Smith to
fear. She will not be drafted. All
the government wants is to know
about that big garden she planted in
June 1t wants to credit her with be-
ing patriot enough to raise that gar
den. So she wasn't going to register
! because she thought there was moth
ing she could do, You will whisper
into her ear that there still is time
to talk to her husband about that Red
Cross contribution Nothing she
could do! Indeed!
