So for all of US comes the searching
of what we may do now--how to pre-
pare for that time when our boys
come back. bearing along with their
scars of war, that triumph Of war
freedom for all men and future peace
for all peoples. Even yet. not all OF
us can take an active part in direct
war works. But there are two ways
in which all can share and in which
women must lead. AS men have re-
adjusted the worlds Of business, OF
finance, of industry to war, so we
women can readjust our little indi-
vidual domestic lives to war. Even
the homely tasks Of cooking, washing,
bedmaking, sending the children to
school, directing the family amuse-
ment-even these can be directly re-
lated to the war necessity Of keeping
the nations health, balance and spirit
adjusted, all In readiness for the day
when our country may call on US
just you and me-for the supreme sac
rifice.

Then, we women must put our Shout

spinning merrily. We can save--and
In this our babies can help--save pen

penditures, save service, save food,
save the other fellows time--and al
ways with a cheerful heart, smiling
front, the courage of devotion. If by
saving and at sacrifice, a dollar for
a Liberty bond, % cents for Thrift
stamp, an hour a day for serious
thought on how we, individually, can
adjust our every daily act to war-if.
by these little things, we can do a
patriots part In this war, If we can
have the right to put our names along
side the mothers of the world" then,
in Gods name. not only do them, but
see that every other woman goes
and does likewise. Let every man,
every woman, every child In these
great United States have the chance
to share in the glory of Americas part
In this war-to own a vital piece Of
that immortal liberty, the right OF
ones own soul that America has al
ways fought for and stands for I'm
mortaMy now and forever, world with
out end.
