FEDERAL BANKS WILL HELP
FARMERS BUY TRACTORS

Federal reserve banks are to re-
discount notes secured by farm trac-

of Agriculture announces. Instruc-

count tractor paper presented by any
member bank, provided it has ma
turity not exceeding six months and

This action of the Federal Reserve
Board, explains the department means
that notes given for farm tractors

WOMEN WORKERS
WEAR UNIFORMS
IN WAR PLANTS

Women munition makers in Gov
eminent plants will wear a dis
tictive uniform with an insignia to
denote that the war department re-
cognizes them as an important part
of the military organization.
The safety features which char
acterize the uniform making it prac-
ticable for wear at work which in
wolves danger either from the oper-
alton of machinery or the handling
of explosive powders were designed
by a committee of women workers
at the Frankford arsenal and Mrs.
Clara Tead, of the Woman's Division
of the Ordnance department. The
committee selected the style of the
uniform and voted that it should be
made of khaki.
1t consists of a blouse and specially
designed overalls which are made
full and button around the ankles.
In order that there may be no place
in the uniform for powder or flying
dust to lodge, the blouse buttons
over the overalls instead of under;
the overalls button forward instead
of backward; the collar of the blouse
buttons tightly as does the flap of
the overall pocket. Puttees may be
worn with the overalls. The cap
which completes the costume is of
lighter fabric than khaki and re-
sembles an aviator's cap in shape.
AS the Frankfort arsenal employs
the largest number of women of any
OF the government plants, the women
at this arsenal will be the first to
appear in it. AS soon as possible
the uniform will be put into use in
all government munition plants.

boil all water used for drinking pur-
