Y. W. c. A. Doing Good Work Among
Girls Who Are Now Laboring in
Factories to Help Government

This country is just waking up to
an appreciation of the part that girls
women are playing in the war.
Few persons realize that already, just
after the first draft, a million girls
are occupying positions never before
open to them; n when it is known
that the majority Of them have gone
of the problems created by the
changed conditions are very appar-
ent. No n questions that their
numbers will be multiplied many fold
with successive drafts.
AS an illustration, one Of the big
munittcn plants that employs $4,000
men has at present only so girls in
its factories. but the company, in an
ticipation of what is coming, Is plan
ming to build dorlnitories for four
hundred girls and the manager said
recently that before they were
through accommodations for a thou
sand would undoubtedly be, needed.
In another town, where there is a
nlunition plant, the company is pro-
viding dormitories for one hundred
girls. and expects to house three hun
dred more, although only q few are
working there yet.
The great training camps have
called multitudes Of girls for laundry
work. telephone. biography, stenog-
raphy, typewriting, mattresses, etc.
and the populations Of communities
around such camps. often rural in
character, have multiplied with APP
palling rapidly. In all parts Of the
country there has been a general
shifting Of girls as we'll as men, and
many a quiet, sleepy town has been
wakened suddenly to the fact that ar
armyeeof girl workers has come and
that there is no place in which tc

such conditions, but the War Worl
Council of the Young Women's Chris

after war was declared, aid entered
the field to meet situations such a.
these which are already at hand, ant
which are bound to multiply as tn
war goes on.
In some places the munition work
mentioned, for example. the employ
ers themselves have anticipated tn,
needs of their employees. but in
multitude Of cases, while men work
ers have always been provided for
girls have been entirely overlooked.
The War Work Council. which be

of girls and women who are throw
