Life Insurance One of Big
Fields Open to Women Workers

With tho unprecedented condition
existing In this and other countries
On account of the world war, various
avenues Of business are being opened
mp to women that have never before
welcomed them. The public is con-
Btantly reminded of this fact, par
ticularly in the larger eastern cities,
where women and girls serve SIS
work in railroad shops and do other
work that was never before even
considered applicable TO women.
Members OF the fair sex are not only
entering many novel fields, but they
Hre succeeding therein. Farmerettes
are occupying q large amount of at
tentton this year, many OF them De
tng recruited from the ranks Of col
lege girls, and the farmers are find
ing that the plan pays. There were
$4,000, 900 se1f-supporting women in
the United States before the war and
the number is INCREASING rapidly.

women will b5 permanently engaged
