The best way for many women to
show their patriotism is to train for
service. Efficiency was never n more
highly priced asset than IL Is today. The
Government is helping women to find the
work they are best fitted to do, and
suggesting how they can best train to
fill places of men called TO the colors.
''The time has now come when many
women must drop their knitting needles
for field of greater service, cease volun-
tecr work, and take regular Job for
regular pay saws &. L. Clayton. D-
rector of the Training and Dilution
Service of the L. :. Department of Labor
''The fact that women may not be IN
.hetd of the money has nothing to do
with the case. The United States Govern
ment needs their service for production
and the Government is very particular
about women being paid the same wage
as men for services equally rendered.
The patriotic thing is for women to
do the work her training has fitted her
to do, provided 1t has been along tho
lines of an essential vocation. School
teachers should stick to their calling no
matter If munitions offer higher reward
The youth of America must not be
neglected.

In six weeks she had been promoted three

fact that she had had her salary almost
