WASHINGTON, Sept. lS.-A gen era publicity campaign will be launch ed shortly by the war industries board to educate the public to the importance of conservation of paper of all kinds. War conditions, it was stated, demand a radical change in the habits of consumers, as the gov ernment'S need for chemicals and other materials made it necessary to prevent as much waste as possible.

MANCHESTER, England Sept. Is. - Two days after the British began their big drive on the Somme a rush order for 5000 shells was given one of the projectic factories in this dis trict. So promptly was the order eX- ecuted that the shells reached the Bri- tish gunnerS in time to used for smashing the encmy'S first counter attack.
 This shows how closely the muni- tion plants are related to the front and gives an idea of the remarkable degree of cooperation that exists be- tween the Shell-makcr at home and the soldier in the field.

and the result Is that we have about
ten or eleven hours Of hard work a
day. Half our time, about, is spent
in lectures and recitations, and the
rest is spent in practical drill and ex-
ercises in the field. Our lectures in
clude such subjects as ballistics, forth
fications, artillery materials, munitions,
wireless telegraphy, telephones and
automobiles, in addition to classes in
the principles Of the preparation and
conduct of Are, and in topography. We
have many drills with guns Of all
models, and also mounted drills out on
the parade ground. And twice week

leans form a separate brigade, and
ours is the first brigade to be com.
posed entirely of foreigners.
We sleep in large room big enough
for the entire brigade. Our beds are
not of the latest model for comfort,
being composed of wooden stats and a
stiff straw mattress. But good fellow
ship among US makes up for lack Of
comfort, and our room resounds every
night with such sounds Of merriment
that our French comrades open their
eyes with wonder. The average Amer
lean can pretend outwardly to be cheer
full at any time, and usually does, and
his cheerfulness is accompanied with
noise. In this point we differ from
our Allies, who are much more solemn
and quiet. And we eat our potatoes
and horse meat with the rest, but ono
has to be mighty hungry to enjoy these
staple articles which compose our
menu. However, the little restaurants
in town come to our relief, for we are

case Of need. Probably this is only a
safety precaution.
! In this regalia we went across the
town to the school, to join the little
group of Americans already there. And
1t did seem good to find some fellow
countrymen to receive US, even though
they were disguised. like ourselves, as
Frenchmen. Our curiosity about tho
school was naturally aroused, and we
soon discovered few interesting facts
about its history. 1t appears that Ma
poleon founded 1t to provide officers
for his artillery. So he built the build
ings for 1t near his chateau, and made
them fit into the general scheme Of
his gardens and park. And so the
school came to be established on the
outskirts Of the town, and throughout
the last century 1t grew to be a grea,
centre Of artillery study and expert
ment.
A sort Of graduate school Of artil-
lcry, to it came the young officers to
perfect themselves in their profession,
and here came also the older officers
to experiment with new guns and APP
pliances. And here they worked in the
quiet seclusion of this little town, sur

In the final analysis the question of
women's work on The railroads. as IN
other unusual conditions of work which
the war has opened to them, the ques-
tion Is not SO much How can they
be used Z" as Whexe should thew be
used?" There is apt to be some thing
misleading about the ease with which
women can be substituted for men. The
great necessity is for survey of the
industry that will investigate and make
sure OF the places where women can
properly and efficiently be substituted
The most favorable conditions under
when they best do that work.
The question of fatigue and the
amount of nervous strain under which
the work would have to be done would
have to be decided by experts. Such
survey might also show many places
where women cou'd be used if re-
adjustment Of working conditions were
made. And if the greater need arose
calling. for women in work which is
now admittedly beyond their strength
these experts might judge how a lob
could be broken up SO that it might come
within the strength of women. Failure in
the use Of women has been largely due
to placing them where their health
would not be conserved and where it
was hard for them to maintain stand
ards Of morality. In admitting women
to railway work there is ~r~at dancer
: for both the railroads and the woman
on the, job if all the bars safeguarding
her physically and morally are let
down. And. this safeguarding of the
woman on the job will benefit the man
on the job, too, when he returns to
find that the work he does is brought
to a higher standard of efficiency and

"On the main floor of the machine and

every shopworker knows Of the time
wasted in strengthening up a back bent
from work done in STOPPING posture.
In one Erie shop seats were I'M

to some light machine work. and the
law required that seats be furnished

amazed to find the increase and inn

found the same increased efficiency. He
