TN ENGLAND It is true that thou
l. sands of women servants have gone
into munitions, but It is also true that
thousands of women with white hands
that never labored have gone into
this work, too.
What, then, as a measure Of patriot
ism can be said of servants turning
their minds to war industry must be
said equally forcefully about the
women who employ them. The time.
perhaps, might come when all of us
will have to lay down the tools Of
everyday work and go into war work
But when we go we must go togethtrr
