College Women
Are War Workers

That college women everywhere
have gone into war work with intense
interest, is shown in a report pub
lished in pamphlet form by the com
mittee on public information, en-
titled War Work For Women In
Colleges. The report sums up $50
answers to a QUESTIONABLE sent out
by the committee to the colleges of
the country.
Many college women enlisted for
war work as soon as the United
States entered the conflict, and are
now in active service in France. One
OF these is the pluclVy Smith College
unit. War emergency courses have
been put into the curricula Of the
various women's colleges.
Undergraduates are working eager
~ along conservation and food pro-
duction lines urged by the govern
ment, and new economies are prac-
ticed. 'rProms'' are being given I'D,
fripperies abandoned, even spring
and in several instances
exercises.

TT Children

The Child Welfare campaign for
the second year OF the war. which
will be inaugurated on April s, the
anniversary Of our entrance into the
war, has, as it's chief aim, the public
protection of maternity and infancy.
The saving Of 100000 lives of
children under five years is the goal
set for the years work. Each state
will be asked to save a definite quota,
the number being based upon the
population under five in the state.
North Dakota Is being asked to save
the lives of 777 children this year
The campaign has been placed in the
hands of the North Dakota Division
Of the Woman's committee OF Ma
tional Council Of Defense, and de-
tailed plans for the campaign will be
made public soon.
A nationwide weighing and meas
uring Of children from one to six
years, is being planned by the United
States Children's bureau. It is hoped
to thus prevent in the next genera
ton the physical defects which were
revealed by the draft Many Of the
men were rejected for defects which
could have been prevented by care
during the first years Of life.
For years the Children's bureau
has been carrying on work for the
welfare of the children. The war has
the need Of concerted ma
tional action. The European coun-
tries have learned through bitter ex-
perience the terrific effect of war up
on children. America should profit
by this experience and protect it's
In times Of peace America has
been losing every year SOC, 900 child
rem under the age of five years. One
half Of these deaths could have been
easily prevented. Most Of the $4,000
mothers who died last year, died
needlessly. What will the count be
under war conditions?" asks the
Children's bureau.
