WOMEN TO THE FORE
Wives and Mothers Know Value
 of Liberty Bonds.
War Behind the Lines Is Being Prose cuted on a Tremendous Scale Every Woman Can Help
 Do Something.
(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial Writer for the Saturday Evening

(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
 Writer for the Saturday Evening
 Post.)
 The day seems to have passed when woman's education consisted of piano lessons and a little polite French. Now she studies biology, psychology, and all the other ologies. In this great and radical change in the posi- tion of woman it will not do to over look the change in her relation to money matters. It is no longer un- womanly to know something about money. Feminine charm is not di- unfinished by knowing the difference between a bond and share of stock.
 Millions of women earn their living today. Hundreds of thousands have independent means and must decide for themselves in affairs financial More and more of the wives, mothers and sisters not only spend the house hold money. but are consulted by the men when an investment is to be made. It matters not whether the investment consists of victrola. an automobile, or a bond. It is said men dc not take their wives into their con fidence when they gamble or take q flyer, but it is also said that deception in these matters does not pay.
 So there is every material reason why women should do their part and more in floating the Liberty bonds Indeed q woman recognizes q gold dollar just as quick as a man. and when it pays good interest in addition she is not going to turn it down. But there is more than purely busi- ness and selfish side to the women of this country. They have surprised even themselves with their executive ability and powers of business organ ization. The Red Cross and every other variety of relief work has been in its detail largely the result of woman's effort.
 Behind the lines women are prose cutting the war on a tremendous scale There are millions of men as well as women who cannot fight in the trenches, who cannot even drive mo- tortrucks or work in intuition fac tories. There are some people who can not even successfully raise a vegetable garden, but there is not an adult man or woman outside the poorhouse and the hospital who cannot either buy or help to sell a Liberty bond. It is the least they can do.
