w American women have re-
sponded 10 the call Of emery
ency war work with such visor and
success as to leave no room for criti-
cism or contempt
Women have invaded the shop, ele-
vator. street car. taxicab field. and
dozens of other places formeriy listed
as mans domain With very little
exception. success has crowned their
efforts.
Especially is this true in the NUM-
tons plants Of this and foreign coun-
tries. There their success has been
remarkable. In day OF five and one
half hours woman has turned out two
thirds as much work as man has been
able 10 turn out in a day Of II hours.
De Better Work Than Men.
Experts say that women are more
painstaking- that they give more at
tention to detail and that they are
more conscientious than their male
coWOrkers
But in taking up mans work they
have not escaped their drawbacks.
their criticisms. their embarrassments.
The world was prone to stand to one
side and, with pessimistic attitude
watch their success or failure
in Europe. where the women first
proved their mettle, they entered their
various trades and channels OF labor
under less smbrassinE circumstances
than women Of America
There the man power-the male
workers on whom the government
was of necessity forced to depend
was so quickly exhausted that there
was but the one solution Namely, the
women must do the work
Their success IS now most interest
ing history. The foreign papers and
even the cables have carried count
less stories of the glowing successes
attending the work Of women
They have entered the fields. filling
the soil and reaping bountiful har-
vest from labor which racked their
brains and bodies Torn and bleed
ing hands handled the unwieldy
farming implements, but women
stuck to their tasks and the countries
prospered despite the absence OF man
power
American Women Take Up the War.
In this country. as was TO be eN-
pected, the women moved more SLOW
" toward their inevitable tasks They
busted themselves with the easier
tasks of knitting, the making OF
bandages and other hospital supplies
and the collection Of money for war
funds
The American woman took her first
determined step when she interested
herself in the first issue OF Liberty
loan bonds. IN groups and individu-
ally they argued with those able TO
invest in war bonds. and the country
knows how splendidly they succeeded.
Then followed the Red Cross So
ciety campaign for a fund OF 100000

performed il. They were instrumental
in obtaining subscriptions totaiing far
into the tens Of thousands. They con-

IMPROVING THE BAD SPOTS
Certain Small Ruts That Are Usually
Wet and Soft Determine Load
Farmer Can Carry.

The worst holes in the road always
market. No stretch of roadway Is uni
fOrmly good, because every road has
certain small spots that are usually
soft and wet. These spots cause more
trouble than the rest of the road COM
bined. How these spots are to be i'm
proved depends on the character Of
the soil, and the nature of the cOun-
try. Many such spots owe their char
acter to soft subsoil due to springs.
Before these roads can be permanent
ly improved they must be under
drained. IF n tile is laid in these
places there will usually be no trouble
in the future. The surface of the road
should then be filled with dirt and
crowned, so any surface water may
run off. If this is done there will be
no trouble from subsurface water.
Many rOadwayS that are closed in
with shade trees are bad. If q goodly
portion of the scrub timber along these
roads be removed, the ground will dry
out and no trouble result. If the char
acter of the soil is soft and pliable, so
that 1t will not pack and remain firm,
new material should be applied to the
surface. The best and cheapest mate
rial for improving roads is gravel.
Where gravel beds are accessible a
days work with team and wagon
will improve any roadbed permanent
ly. If the soil is very sandy an S-inch
application of clay to the surface will
effect wonders. The road patrol should
spend q considerable portion of its
time In remedying the bad spots in the
road.
