Women are gradually taking many vo-
c%ationai places Of men in this country.
In restaurants it is a female voice that
gor which is the vocal cipher tive
ing saleswomen who have taken the place
of "drummers'' serving their country is
surprising. Already the elevator girl, the
postwoman and the female conductor
have become familiar figures In the news
photographs, If not in the actual contact
of our daily life. But the figures issued
by the British government as to female
employment are none the less surprising.
Over 10000 women have undertaken
mems work since the beginning Of the
war, and of these SIS 900 are engaged in
the manufacture of munitions. Win the
additional employment of women reach
proportionate figures in this country? The
answer to the question must, of course,
depend on the duration of the war. But
England's great problem and our own, il
so great an invasion OF our industries by
women occurs, Is the disposition OF this
new form OF labor after peace comes. OF
course, casualties Will leave an oppor-
tunity for part OF this Amazonian indus-
trial army to remain intact. But the c6m-
petition with the other sex will be keen.
These female aborers have tasted a new
independence. They have acquired tech
meal ability and the consciousness that
they are laborers worthy of their hire.

may find a strange face at his lathe or

Germany Can Be Starved.
From Physical Culture.

tEOlll ilHSiCdl 1ulluit.
The Germans, with their colossal mill
tary preparedness, failed miserably at one
point. They had soldiers and gun galore,
had been made in their domestic agricul-
vegetable fats. When importations were
shut off and the quantities of livestock
were reduced as a matter Of economizing
grain food, the Germans both industrially
and dietetically suffered acutely from fat
privation. Their laboratory food scientists
had told the military authorities that car
bohydrates were dietetic equivalents of
fat. Through the means of most painful
experience the Germans found out the sci
entists had been mistaken, and smuggling
fat into Germany today is as profitable as
shipping whisky to Alabama the week
before Christmas.
In America we have no such problem of
the shortage Of fats. AS a byproducts of
our cotton industries we have an annual
production Of lbO,0O0,00 gallons of oil and
we have the soil and climate suitable for
the production Of other vegetable fats.
Among the most promising of such fat
producing crops is the soy bean. The soy
bear is a sort of vegetable livestock. All
the arguments in favor of livestock apply
to this distinctive plant. Its growth en-
riches the soil by the extraction of nitro
gen from the air. hence it is a source Of an
actual gaining in soil fertility. The soy
bean in our southern states yields &c
bushels to the acre-one-third of the prod
uct being oil and another third protein.
Both dement, are excellent human foods
and it is only a question of learning how
to work them up into palatable form.
