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 q 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 are 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 25,0O0
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 1000 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-
celebration is now noticeable. Besides
the regular women workers there Is
large increase in the number of fruit
pickers, harvesters and other casuals.
Railway employment furnishes a
particularly interesting series Of ex-
perlments in woman labor. Before the
war the, British railway companies on
ly employed about 1000 women
clerks, cleaners, attendants, etc. APP
proximately $4,000 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 70 to 1926, and employs
also Is women ticket collectors, 1876
carriage cleaners, IS engine cleaners
and asa porters. Another. with neil
ther women ticket collectors nor port
ers, has 4S0 women carriage cleaners,
475 engine cleaners, 226 laborers In
the workshops and 81 other women la
borers. Yet another, with no women
engine cleaners or laborers, has 142
ticket collectors.

arrival In the realm Of apparel, and
is comfortable and elegant. 1t fits the
head snugly and is so constructed that
1t may be made to measure. This is a
boon to women who have abundant
hair.
There are "dress" habits and polo
habits In which the most vivid reds
and green's demonstrate a courageous
use of color In riding toys. These
-figh-colored coats are worn with white
trousers, and the polo coats are sleeve
less. But they are another story.

RAGTIME ARMY IN EAST AFRICA

Not sign Of the enemy was in eH-
denee and the cars came to a halt in
open ground. Immediately they were
showered with machine gun bullets
from all directions.
They had accomplished their pur-
pose of drawing the enemy's fire, but
while the lead battered on the cars it
was impossible to discover whence it
came. Finally the leading car went
on and turned into an abandoned ma
tive camp, still followed by the deadly
stream Of lead. The sharp-eyed OBJ
server at last noticed a peculiar move
ment Of leaves on a ridge. The guns
were turned on the spot, and In a tiffy
an enemy machine-gun company was
put out of business. The combined
guns of the car then peppered the
ridges Systematically, and by nightfall
the infantry was in possession Of the
northern slopes During the night the
enemy retreated southwark, and, when

of hair which is abundant but not
long. The secret of dressing the hair
In this way appears to be in parting
1t off in the right way.
The front hair for this couture is
parted off and combed forward as for
a pompadour. The remainder of the
hair is combed to the back of the neck
and tied, and the ends are separated
into two strands and curled. The front
hair is parted at each side above the
temples, and waved. At the top of the
head the hair is brought back in
small pompadour, the ends loosely
twisted and pinned to the crown. The
side hair is combed down over the

ing, Mining and ouarrylnO.

London.-The far-reaching effect on
the Industrial and commercial situa-
ton caused by the formation Of an
army of almost five million men can
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 it Is impossible, with
out living in England, to form an ac-
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
$4,000 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 it 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 Munltlon Workers.
A very large proportion of the total
mentioned is, Of course, due to the adj
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 a 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 or 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.

top Of the comb.
In this couture there is short fin
ger of hair across the forehead, which
Is slightly curled. The shell comb
is frightened with two rows of rhine
stones.
Coiffures of this character are in
evidence at the theater, and there is q
pretty fashion of covering them with
strip Of the finest mallnes as like the
hair in color as possible, This is al
most invisible, like hair net, and
just where it begins or ends keeps one
guessing. But it keeps the hair neat
and supports the coiffure.

Clothing Of SHUTS Forces Torn
to Shreds in Thornbush
Jungle Fighting.
But MEN ARE VERY FIT
Many Members Of Destroyed German
Cruiser koenlgsberg's Crew Killed
or aptured--Armored Cars the
Joy Of the Army

Cape TOwn.-Because Of the diver
sity of its units-Britons from the
homeland, South African British, Bo-
ers, East Indians, and South African
natlyes-General Shuts expedition in
German East Africa is known pOpu-
larry as the ragtime army. The ragged
army would be an even more appro-
pirate designation, for mostly it is
made up Of men whose clothing is in
tatters. This is not uue to the wear
and tear incidental to a rapid trek of
upward of a thousand miles, fighting
a good part of the way, which many
OF the regiments have to their credit,
so much as to the fact that to get at
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
bodies from head to foot, so that on
emerging they generally present the
appearance of being horribly wounded
when not 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 a 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 If 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 ac-
counts of the operations of one Of Gen
eral Van Deventer's columns recently
engaged In driving the Germans out
Of the territory north of the Mahenge
swamps, where they are now kraaled.
The pursuit took the column into
mountain pass most admirably adapted
for the purpose Of a trap. AS was
surmised, the Germans had not failed
to take advantage Of the opportunity
to make a stand. The road led through
d gap up into a narrow mex in horse
shoe Of high wooded hills from which
every inch Of the lnclosed space was
commanded. The armored cars, one
at a time, went on toward the mex
while the infantry deployed to right
and left of the hills and began the |
ascent. Nothing happened for awhile.
