British Government Appreciates
Efforts Put Forth by
D Center Sex.
ARE NO LONGER DOMEsTICS
Scarcely q Trade But What Has Its
Female Employees - They Are
Even Replacing Men In Build
ing, Mining and Quarrying.

London.-The far-reaching effect on
the industrial and commercial situa-
ton caused by the formation Of an
not be underestimated, and the gov
eminent was not long in realizing the
vital importance of maintaining the
output Of articles required for the war
and export trade. The wonderful eff
forts accomplished by the women of
Great Britain in taking the places Of
men who have Joined the colors are
known in a general way to the Ameri-
can public, but 1t Is impossible, with
out living in England, to form an &C.
curate impression of the extent to
which the women have answered the
call.
Special efforts are now being made
by the British government to give to
the world a more adequate knowledge
of the success attained by women in
nearly all branches of mems work.
According to official statistics which
have Just been issued by the war office
$685. 900 women and girls have stepped
forward to take the places Of men in
various occupations. This figure does
not include domestic service or en-
ployment In the millinery or dress
making trade, nor does 1t comprise the
women who have taken SO active a
part in Red Cross work since the be-
ginning of the war. The latter alone
include more than $1,000.
Women Munition Workers.
A very large proportion Of the total
mentioned is, Of course, due to the ad-
vent of the woman munition worker,
and while 1t Is quite true that many
of these women are not, strictly speak
ing, taking the places of men,, 1t is
nevertheless an undeniable fact that
they are doing what before the war
was REGARDED as strictly mems work.
Munition work, however, is only q part
of women's Industrial activity.
A high authority of the British gov
eminent, to whom the Sun is indebted
for these facts, Is authority for the
statement that there are very few in
dustries~pr occupations In which the
number OF women has not increased.
There are few in which some direct
substitution of female for male labor
has not taken place. The chief In
stances of decline In numbers Of wom-
en- employed are domestic service and
employment In small dressmaking
workrooms.
The Dolores star. [volume] (Dolores, Montezuma County, Colo.) 1901-current, 1917-02-02

Other important industries which
show a numerical decline are laundry
WORK. dressmaking. confectionery.
printing and bookbinding, linen, lace
and silk, but in all these groups some
women are directly replacing men, and
In many individual firms in these and
other groups decline in the number
Of women simply means that some of
the women have left to go to mems
work and have not been replaced.
In Every Trade.
Women TIRE directly replacing men
(only In comparatively small numbers)
even in building. mining and quarry
ing. They are replacing them In con-
siderable number in most of the metal
Industries, though not on the main
processes In iron and steel works. In
the cotton trade no less than 25,OOO
females are returned as directly re-
placing males. though in other textile
industries Except hosiery progress
has been less marked.
In the food trades there have been
very interesting cases of substitution.
In grain milling the number of women
and girls employed has risen since
July, 1914. from 1900 to 5000; in
sugar refining. from 1000 to 1000. and
in brewing. from 5000 to $4,000; the
increase in these trades is almost en-
tirely due to the direct replacement of
men by women.
Women are also doing mems work to
an appreciable degree in tanning and
leather working, sawmilling and wood
working, glass, china, earthenware and
rubber.
One of the most striking new devel-
opments is the introduction of women
clerks into banks and financial houses.
In agriculture the process of substi-
tuition made slow progress during the
first IS monthS of the war, but an ac-
celeration Is now noticeable. Besides
the regular women workers there Is a
large increase In the number of fruit
pickers. harvesters and other casuals.
Railway employment furnishes
particularly interesting series of ex-
periments in woman labor. Before the
war the British railway companies on
ly employed about 1000 women
clerks. cleaners. attendants, etc. Ap-
proximately $1,000 are now employed.
The kind and amount of substitution
carried out varies from one railway
company to another. One has In
creased the number of its women
clerks from 20 to 1926, and employs
also IS women ticket collectors, 1876
carriage cleaners. IS engine cleaners
and 454 pOrters. Another, with nei-
ther women ticket collectors nor port
ers. has $50 women carriage cleaners,
4T5 engine cleaners, 226 laborers in
the workshops and 81 other women Ia
borers. Yet another, with no women
engine cleaners or laborers. has AZ
ticket collectors.

This remarkable testimony to the
prosperity Of prohibition Maine comes
from a newspaper avowedly hostile to
prohibition, the Boston Herald. 1t Is n
complete answer to the oft-repeated
falsehood of the brewers and distillers
that Maine has been impoverished be-
cause she has steadfastiy refused to
legalize the dramshop. In population
Maine ranks rs the thirty-fourth state
In the Union. But on June 30, 1918,
the deposits In her savings banks
amounted to s9f423 ,Oss.63. n total ex-
ceeded by only II other states. The
amount of depositors-23S,5S6 -repre-
sents nearly One-third Of the total pop
ulation Of the state, including men,
women and children. Only ten states
exceed Maine in the actual number Of
depositors. The total proportion Of de-
positOrs to population Is equalled by
only five states. Deposits in building
and loan associations amounted to So
55s, 260. with 12.113 depositors. Add to
this the savings deposited in trust CON-
panies and national banks, and the per
capita individual deposits amount to

In the state. In 1914 the average per

spring from this poisonous tap-root.

Joy Of the Army.

Cape Town.-Because Of the Aver
sity OF its units-Britons from the
homeland, South African British, Bo-
ers, East Indians, and South African
natives-ieneral Shuts expedition in
German East Africa Is known popu-
larry as the ragtime army. The rugged
army would be an even more appro-
pirate designation, for mostly 1t Is
made up Of men whose clothing is In
tatters- This is not due to the wear
and tear incidental to a rapid trek OF
upward of a thousand miles, fighting
good part of the way. which many
of the regiments have to their credit.
so much as to the fact that to get Mt
the enemy the men frequently have to
break by main force through jungles
of thick thornbush, which tear their
clothing to shreds and scratch their

appearance Of being horribly wounded
when not a bullet has touched them.
Little things like that, with marches
lasting from two O'Clock In the morn
ing at which time the columns when
practicable set out, until six O'Clock In
the evening. without drink of water
on the way, and often to go into action
against machine-gun fire before rest
ing, IN no wise affect the spirit Of the
troops. There Is. splendid rivalry among
the white and cOlored regiments, in
endurance as well as in fighting. A
man feels keenly disgraced II his
, strength fails him and he Is compelled
to fall out, so If he Is stricken with
fever he keeps right on with his COM
rades and tries to joke and sweat 1t
out of his system. The result Is that
the ragged army is made up of men
who literally are as hard as nails
lean. agile, powerful fellows. clear Of
eye and all skin and muscle.
Armored Cars Their Joy.
The JOY of the army Is the armored
cars. The value of these machines
manned by naval crews cannot be es-
timated. They have saved hundreds
of men from being killed and thou
sands from being wounded. They can
locate the enemy's machine guns with
out loss when ordinary methods would
be as futile as they would be costly in
country which offers such extraOr-
binary facilities for concealment. An
Illustration In point Is furnished in nc

eral Van Deventer's columns recently

The pursuit took the column into

for the purpose of n trap. AS was
surmised, the Germans had not failed
to take advantage Of the opportunity
to make Q stand. The road led through
gap up into narrow mex in horse
shoe of high wooded hills from which
every inch of the inclosed space was
commanded. The armored cars, one
at time, went on toward the mex
while the infantry deployed to right
