efforts to help break the strike when
men desert their posts it is neces-
sary indeed for women to do the best
they can to make themselves useful.
In practice it proved less difficult than
1t seemed in theory. The cars were
rather heavy and disposed to skid at

pavements but with the help of a pro-
