Miss Marie l.. Obenauer, chief wo-
man examiner of the national war
labor board at Washington, thinks
that $500 900 will be all it is neces-
sary to enlist.
In my opinion" she said, zone
new woman will be required for
every new soldier who goes into
the field. l base this on the esti-
mate of the statistician of the Unit
ed State9N chamber of commerce
that four workers will be required
behind every soldier in the indus
tries providing the supplies for the
war. The equivalent of the other
three men will be obtained, in my
opinion, by greater conservation or
skill. the maximum use of men I'M
fit for military service, the elimir&
alton of non-essential industries,
and the adaptation of all industries
possible to war service machinery"
Where will the women, certain
~ not likely to be less than 2,000,-
600, come from? The largest res
ervoir that can be drawn upon with
the least disturbance to domestic
life are women not now gainfully
employed who are unmarried and
not at the head of a household OF
this class of women in 1910 there
were in the United States 100000
between the ages of sixteen and
forty-fiVe.

We Haven't Sacrificed Yet.

American women who feel that
the war has brought them sacrific-

sugar and white flour are hard to

substitutes, and very poor ones at
that, for almost everything in Ger
