Camera Man Tells
Story Of Women's
Work in the War

Not less important than the word
story will be the picture story of the
world war.
This fact has been recognized by
the Women in Industry Service, De-
partment Of Labor, which is collect
ing photographs showing the tasks
i'll which women engaged during the
period of the war. While the illus
trations from factory, shop and mill
are to be comprehensive, embracing
lines of employment that have been
long assigned to women, special at
tention will be given to the new ven
ture in which girls have proved
ability not hitherto recognized in
industry.
A number OF photographs have
been taken under the direction of
Miss Mary Winslow of the Woman
in Industry Service, who visits each
plant. studies the workers and indi-
Gates typical scenes that will be val
liable in the constantly growing COL
lection of pictures. Miss Van
kleeck, director of the service, has
invited the cooperation of the man
agement of plants engaged on peace
time production as we'll as those who
held war contracts, and has pre-
pared to extend her records so that
they will comprise not only views of
munitions plant, aircraft factories
and workers on gas masks, but pic
lures of women employed in all lines
of activity that contribute to civil
life.
In making the photographs a
series showing safety appliances has
been started. In time there will be
numerous other special series added
to the growing library OF pictures,
which promises to be History of

ing as it is instructive.

There information to the circum-

since the German courier did not reach the Ger

Forty-seven hours had been required for the

more for the examination of the terms and their
