WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS
Young Mother Gave Practical Demon.
stration of Their Physical Fit
ness to Do So.

When women first were put to work
in shell factories in England they
handled only the light field-gun shells.
Later it became necessary for them to
turn out larger shells, and doubts were
raised as to whether the women were
strong enough to handle them. A
young mother settled the question.
'Let me heft the she'll" she said,
picking one up from the floor. "Aye,'
she commented, "this shell is a mite
heavy, tits true, but it's not so heavy
as my baby"
There is shell factory in the Liv-
erpool district operated almost exclu-
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
young girls who had never done any
kind of work other than needle work
and cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment is performed by the
wives of sailors.
This. is a nonprofit-malling factory
and it is the reply of the Cunard COM
pany to the Germans for the sinking
of the Lusitania.
