WOMEN IN MEMS PLACES

Tho woman who complains that she sees no place in which she can do her bit during the war should find some suggestion out of the various recommendations made by the administration. All that she needs to do is to look about her home, where she is sure to lind way of saving a penny. There is the red cross work, the mem bers or which have always some thing to do. Pretty soon, men will be scarce and if women have a real desire to do their bit they can learn how to take mems places in stores or offices and a thousand other ways. In England, the re ports say that women have found no difficulty at all in finding their niches in the new scheme Of things. Interesting in the extreme is the London dispatch sometime ago, mak ing public for the first time the iact that when General Pershing was there his two orderlies wore women, who had been assigned Jo the task by the war office. If tho w@r is 10 last, women should prepare r-em- selves for all eyentualiues.
