cars and serve as clerks But in the
shipbuilding yards they do work that
heretofore was done by strong men.
In every yard there are hundreds of
them, and in one plant just visited by n
staff correspondent of the Associated
Press 5000 of them are employed. They
are dressed in khaki trousers and belt
ed coats which reach well above the
knees. Their hair is tucked up under
little round khaki caps. But they could
never be mistaken for men-nearly all
of them insist upon wearing high heel
ed shoes, and their tastes run to silk
stockings.
These women and girls for the most
part before they started building ships
wore cotton hosiery. But now they
earn their own money, and. as they get
the same pay for doing the work men
used to do, they can afford silk. In any
shop or any yard they can be seen garb-
ed like this. standing at the front of

The question has now arisen in

It appears that they are entitled to
a pension. but the French law, which
