"Any woman who works for the Brit.

be won in the air. If that Is so. then
women will have done more than a bit
to help in the winning. for they are
working their hardest to insure a sup

the enemy. But 1t Is not only In
making airplanes that the penguins do
their bit. Cooks and Mattresses are
wanted at every airdrome for the
masses Of officers and men, and wher.
ever n flying unit Is established there
Is plenty Of office work to be done.
This means that a penguin may choose
