OMETHING like 100000 women
- have rolled up their sleeves (most
of them have discarded their
skirts) and are now working like tro-
jams in breeches and CATERS to save
this little island from starvation. But
for these Land Lasses, as we call them,
England would not be able to boast
that of all the belligerent countries
she alone has increased her agricultu-
raj output during the war.
A "Limerick" in the magazine de-
voted to the interest of the Land
Lasses gives one some idea of their
spirit:-
Three girls said goodby to their matters
And, arrayed in smart smocks and long
CATERS,
Exclaimed, There's no fun
Like defeating the Hun
By the drilling of turnips and taters.
lhlS is TO say, Luey nave SoAO INV
the fields of England, these brave Land
Lasses. lust as the Old Contemptibles
went out to France in August, 1914;
they have gone to field labor with that
spirit of gayety, that larking and jest
ing spirit, that singing and laughing
spirit, which is so characteristic of
their race, and which acts like camou-
Aage in hiding patriotism, devotion,
heroism, which would blush scarlet
to express itself in serious language.
:" To see these girls at what they call
their "grub," or to see them lying
about in the straw on a Saturday even
ing in summertime, you might fancy
yourself among the chorus ladies OF a
comic opera, for they are full of
frolic on such occasions; they are also
for the most part extravagantly pretty,
and moreover they wear thin breech-
.es and CATERS, thin smocks, and widea-
wakes, with a certain stylish reckless
ness highly suggestive of the theatre.

British railways has been built in it's
shops, where some $4,000 men were en-
Ployed before the war reduced it's force
To-day it is building tanks. A testing
ground, adjoining it's works, gives these
monsters an opportunity for high and
lofty tumbling which no battlefield
along the British front ir Flanders and
france would offer. They crawl through
sea OF mud, mount precipitous cliff
ters like trained elephant perform

been perfected SO that now they are
much more mobile. Twenty eight tons
which is their weight, will flatten

Women's Wages
Are Quadrupled

To-day many British women are
earning wages which arc much higher
than those paid skilled workmen in
prewar days. They have shown amaz.
ing adaptability and quickness in mas
tering some of the most difficult jobs
Already it has been proven that the
girl of fourteen years and the boy of
the same age are two totally different
types. The boy is a restless creature
who cannot stand the monotony of
constant work at a lathe, while the
girl, who is perfectly satisfied to knit
or crochet for hours on end, is thor
oughly happy to run lathe or feed a
stamping machine. At time when
Standardization is absolutely essential
for the production of the necessary
quantity of munitions the patience
and steadincss of the girls and women
