1t is imperative that every young
woman in our United States, secure in
the enjoyment of Liberty and Happi-
ness, should "do her bit" by taking the
place of some young man who is per-
forming heroic and valuable service
on the battle front.
In previous conflicts, women have
not been unresponsive to our country's
call aud the women of to-day will like
wise spring to the fore and do mans
part wherever they can.
The need for young women to- day is
imperative. Not only is there a short
age of stenographers in all govern
ment departments at Washington, but
private firms all over the country must
have stenographers and Office help to
fill the gaps caused by the war.
1t is splendnd chance for the
young womanhood of America to
serve.
