than just to spend my life here-it has
contented me-"
Fifty-five years in the government
service! Some Washington war
workers who are getting a bit anxious
to get back to home and folks may
have heartfelt sympathy for the
te-haired war worker, whose first
service was to take the place Of a
boy Of 81.
Mrs. Almira v. Brown, who sews
sail cloth in the navy yard. isn't
worrying about getting home. For
now-first in the civil war. then the
Spa nish American, and now for The
war which brought thousands to the
Capital city. And today. Just after
she has celebrated the f1fty-fifth ami
versary of her marriage, as Of her en-
trance into government service, there
Is something in the expression Of her
quiet, blue eyes that is proof positive
that she won't tire OF it-soon.
Just the Same Then
Born in Washington, Mrs. Brown
has spent all Of her life here Being
a war worker in civil war days wasn't
so very different from being one now.
When Mrs. Brown first became a war
worker there was much the same pre-
lude that we all have known, she
said There was the call to war and
the draft. and the consequent call for
women to release men for service. And
the women came. just as now-from
all parts OF the nation.
True. they didn't come in Overland
Limiteds," nor did they engage a
berth in Chicago and awaken in New
York; nor pack an overnight bag and
run UP from New Orleans. And not

goggles, climbing into the passenger
seat, signalling ready" to the pilot,
and rising gracefully into the air for
a fight from st. Louis.
