who certainly had added a grand blot
to the health record of the family.
Daddy merely shook his head as he
said:
"Bob's shell-shock was, of course,

Then Certeis went On:

the war. 1t is several degrees worse,

"Certeis! You are decelving us!''
Daddy shouted. He always shouts
when he is angry. You know well
enought what has happened to my
daughter. The girl has been put to

Hundreds OF young women during
the war rushed into service. Mouy
of them. it is true, had had no pre-
vlous experience with work, and
therefore no training that would have
fitted them for any special kind of
service.
But the war, particularly in the
service they gave in France. showed
that the young women of this country
are wonderfully adaptable.
In spite Of the hard work, the ply
steal discomforts, such as lack of heat
and bathtubs, and often lack of suffi-
cient food, these young women by
their courage, common sense and eff
cheney, won the admiration and re-
spect of the men they served and
their superior officers.
Needed at Home.
Now these yonug women are need
ed just as much here at home to help
solve the problems thai confront us,
as they were needed last year in
France, especially as the war brought
out certain facts that reflect on our
national intelligence anil efficiency.
For instance, the percentage of Hit
eracy and the high percentage of
physical disability in the army show
Cd that much nre attention should
be given both to the education and to
the health of the people.
The war proved We are sadly lack
ing in two things about which we
had prided ourselves. our compulsory
school system and the physical devel-
opment of our people. Our govern
ment has been weakest in the things
that belong to woman's sphere in the
home, the development and care of
human life.
The women of the country today
can be occupied with no higher duty,
