1000 with 4,96S workers. This means
t that each worker accounted for $3.50.
In the Fourth loan women workers
throughout the Seventh Federal Re

amount of subscriptions credited to
them in the Third loan, raising $685.
100000 as against $109,0O0,000, their
total in the Third Liberty Loan This
amount does not include the $4,000, 900
announced by Mrs. Jacob Baur as the
result of the activity of women In
Chicago and Cook county.
The Woman IS Committee is asked to
make public the fact that the Federal
Bureau Of Education is urging the
necessity of campaign to relieve the
shortage of teachers. It is stated that
"unless teachers return to their posts
half million children will go untaught
this year" Mrs. Bradford, Kenosha IS
superintendent of schools, when asked
about the local conditions, answered
that towing to the wisdom and gem
erosity Of our Board Of Education,
Kenosha teachers in the elementary
grades were paid fair salaries,'' some
thing not always done in places of this
size. Therefore the teachers had not
been tempted to leave their posts for
Government or office positions, and
school children in Kenosha had not
suffered from this phase of "war
conditions /"
The Woman IS Committee wishes TO
remand all young women who are
eligible of the chance to enlist in the
Student Nurses Reserve. Application
blanks and information may be OBJ
tanned of Mrs. Northway at the Keno
sha Hospital Appointments may be
made by telephone. The need for this
service is great. Even after the war
is over there win be many demands
for nurses in hospitals, public health
nursing and reconstruction work, both
in this country and abroad. The re-
cent epidemic of influenza demon
strated as never before the need of
more trained nurses. If there are rea-
sons why you cannot enlist do some
thing to interest friend in this
call for service
