of skilled labor by women in the Brit ish factories.
 Approximately 80 per cent of all am munition made in England is made by women. Women are used entirely and exclusively in the manufacture of small ammunition. They are used almost ep- tirely in the manufacture of all 5-inch shells. In the manufacture of Sinch shells 94 per cent of the workers in one factory are women and only 6 per cent men. In the manufacture of the large 15-inch shells women perform the majority of the operations passing on to the men only those operations where their physical strength is not equal to the weights to be handled.

BONDS TO PAY HOTEL BILLS.

Mr.. A. Conrad Ekholm, proprietor of
the Monticello, Atlantic City, in an
nouncing that liberty bonds will be
accepted by him the same as any
othed mediums of Uncle Sans cur
rency, stated: Il have two distinct
reasons for making this offer. First,
I believe all American business men
should do all they can to encourage
as many as possible to purchase lib
erty bonds. There are, however,
many who refrained from buying on
account Of having to use their money
for everyday necessities. To render
the best service to the community and
our nation we must keep in good
physical condition. What will do more
to build up a rundown physical con-
dition and promote good health than
a visit to Atlantic City? Ny second
reason Is that 1 believe such propo-
sitions will help educate the public
into realizing that liberty bonds are
not only safest for permanent invest
ment, bRt can be utilized as q me-
dunn ofseIchange as well"
