have seen in our grent wa The way in
which men and women naturally lined
up on the primitive basis. The men
OF the nations, in this country, Eng
land France and the others. went into
military service. The women took up
the industries.
Now the surprise attendant upon
the news that women were working
in munition factories, were running
streetcars and doing mems work in
offices wouldn't have been so great,
| perhaps, If we had all remembered u
| little more of our pre-history."
| Miss Laughlin reminds us that in
his account of primitive races the late
Otis T. Mason. curator of ethnology
in the United States National Museum.
points out some of the Industries which
began as woman's work. He says:
1.-The slain deer lying before her cave
or brush shelter or wigwam! She
strikes off sharp fake of flint for
knife. BY hat act she becomes the
first cutler
with this knife she carefully re-
moves the skin, little dreaming that
thereby she is making herself the
patron saint of all subsequent
butchers.
'She rolls up the hide, then dresses

sinew and scissors of flint. she cuts
and makes the clothing for her lord
and family; no sign is over the door,
but within dwells the first tailor and
dressmaker.
''From leather especially prepared
she cuts and makes 'moccaslns for heI
husband. thereby beginning the shoe
industry.
"She was ,toymaker for her chill

wall decorator for her family.
"She was at first and is now thu
universal cook. From the grasse
around her cabin she constructs the
floor mat. the mattress. the screen, tn,
wallet. the sail.
"She is the mother of all spinners
weavers. upholsterers, sailmakers."
Again he says:
ITO the field she goes with thu

Kiliiing is one of the few men who
really understand what the relation
ship of the cave man and the cave
women was. according to Miss Laugh
lin. AS proof of her contention she
cites his "Just SO" stories, which he
told to his "best beloved You will
remember the place where it says:
'The man was wild, too. He was
dreadfully wild. He didn't even begin

and she told him that she did not like

You will remember how 1t was. She
picked out nice, dry cave (proving
by the way. that there was cave
woman before there was cave man)

hung a dried wild horse skin across
the opening of the cave and said:
