| liver the stamps each week to the
/ mount that has been pledged.

ried out was to have all the Red Cross
captains with the same workers to
work for this campaign, but it has
been found that some of the most
energetic of the workers cannot work
| on this committee, SO In order to
tains who could not serve have been
omitted and other men substituted.

Women Replacing Men in
All Railroad Positions

Omaha-Due to "a lack of men to
perform the work the railroad officials
are installing large number Of young
women in positions along the lines in
Nebraska and the states to the west.
Indications are that when the spring
rush of business sets in many more
women will take railroad positions
formerly occupied by men who have
gone to war or engaged in other oc-
equations
All through Nebraska young women
are being employed as operators and
assistants to the station agents in the
larger towns. In many of the small
towns where the male agents have en-
listed or gone into other lines of work
the station work is being performed
by women and reports indicate that
they generally are giving the best of
satisfaction.
On the Union Pacific the trunk line
telephone wire from Omaha to Ogden
is handled entirely by women, where
as six months ago men were emf
ployed as operators. The telephone
line handles practically all the COM
pany business, including the train or
ders.
