Kept Girls at Work

The result that In the morning the
output OF the women not only equalled but
exceeded the normal amount
The girls arch enemy, the night superin-

spectacle Of that young heroic figure trudg-

in detail to his boss the girls achievements
So she was summoned and told that by her
courage and diligence she had saved her
employer thousands of pounds and made 1t
possible for him to keep his contract with

should sit on the board OF directors.

miration the splendid showing made by these
several war organizations.
The V. A. DIS, which being translated
means Voluntary Aid Detachment to the
Territorial Army, was formed In 1909. and
its scope was much broadened to meet the
war emergency Of 1914 It's personnel was
drawn from all classes-nobility gentry,
shop girls teachers and servants. who were
all treated as equals once they wore the
uniform, and were nurses aids.
Lady Ampthill, considered by many as the
foremost woman interested in women's work
in England, has been the V. A. d. Detach-
ment's executive head and fairy godmother
since its inception.
About 10 per cent. of the detachment are
still active; the rest are all on the reserve
list ready to be called on at any time that
they are needed.
The detachment Is actually the line be-
hind the army. Among the reserves great

And Old Standards Pass

These distinctions were absolutely ignored
in the spirit OF fellowship that we found
among them. II is difficult for some Ameri-
cans TO realize what a departure this is
from the old ideas and standards. 1t is
unquestionably one of the greatest signs of
the times In an old country like England.
where the social structure has grown out
Of feudalism, the difference in classes has
heretofore been a very vital element and
has always tended to obstruct cooperation.
Among the women united through the war
by a spirit of service IL has been absolutely
set aside, and this is great promise for
the future Of English women and for their
nation.
Altogether, what we have seen Of the
present activities and ideals OF the women
OF England who so effectively organized for
war has filled us with hopefulness and adj
miration. They have indeed lguratlvely
beaten their swords into ploughshares, The
spirit of service which forged them into
effective units during the war Is still living
force. with few exceptions, in their individual
lives.
Most of them have folded their uniforms
away for their children and grandchildren
TO wonder over in the years to come Those
uniforms are not a part of the panoply of
war and destruction. but the livery Of un-
selfish service and with them their children
will inherit new spirit-one of service to
the common cause--which is, after all. the
great hope of the future.

Girl Who Couldn't Go
Back to Golf and Tennis
Then she told me quite simply that when
the war was over she tried vainly to realize
her dream Of factory run by women, but
she couldn't make any one see 1t. and
finally gave up in despair. "But," she con-
tinued, Il couldn't go home to just golf and
tennis again, so tried this shop where
the country people may buy at reasonable
rates And 1t is a success"
This is her story:
At the opening of hostilities in 1914
blond haired. well born Scotch girl in the
twenties came to London and engaged as a
munition worker Her education and train
ing enabled her to forge ahead and before
many months had passed she became an
assistant supervisor.
When the Ministry Of Munitions was in

charge of 1900 women in high explosive

position 1t was a difficult task at first

and induce to be cooperative.
On Christmas eve the year that there was
p dire need for high explosives at the front
the owner and manager was dangerously III
In hospital. The men came to the girl
superintendent and said. Eve are going to
stop work tonight, bring in beer and enjoy
ourselves. We want the women to join us"
NO" said the girl, mot II know 1t. My
women are going to stick to their jobs and
work through their shift as usual"
All that cold night and into the gray dawn,
while the men became more and more drunk
and noisy. jeering at the women for their
loyalty to their employer, the girl walked
back and forth through the middle OF the
long factory She would stop every little
while 10 say word of encouragement to
individual girls and she would counter any
attempts on the part OF the men to get to
the womens side OF the building.

1t made such an impression on the American
men that / remember seeing essays written
about 1t In A. e. f. publications. Dame
Florence likes to tell of the exceptional
treatment accorded the W. A. A. C.s by our
boys. She says there was not one casualty
or case of misconduct either at Bourges,
Tours Paris, where the girls worked in
such numbers. In her office hangs an en-
graved parchment signed by one of our gem
eral officers giving the most fiattering credit
to the w. A. A. C.'s for their work with the
American S. 0. S. at Tours.
Among the peacetime activities they have
started a camp on the Thames for W. A.
A. C.'s in need of rest and recreation II

them one afternoon we could see the bat
Elements and towers of that great building

The Thames is certainly the summer
playground of London. On these warm
afternoons It's lovely reaches crowded
with punts and canoes and small motor
boats and its banks are lined with pcnickers.
Where the w. A. A. C.'s camping the
river is very narrow, hardly wider than an
ordinary street, and 1t was interesting to
watch its varied life as we sat at tea on its
banks while the "Old Comrades" related
their experiences In France.
They publish very interesting monthly
paper called The Gazette. which contains
news of and letters from w. A. A. C.'s from
all over the world.
There is most extraordinary spirit of
democracy among these women as well as
those of other organizations, who are drawn
-as / have said-from every class 1t is
one of the new elements in English life
particularly significant in a country where
class distinction has always played so vital
a part.
In their relation to each other they are
indeed comrades, and differences of station,
education and occupation are utterly
ignored.
We noticed 1t particularly at the vacation
camp The sleeping quarters for the girls
consisted of a long building. airy and com
Portable and devoid of partitions, with book
shelves on the walls between the windows
and down the length of the room a row OF
cots placed side by side. There they all
slept. and there they all read and chatted

were individually so unlike. Some of them
were clerks and stenographers some were
girls who before the war had lived lives OF
leisure, some were In domestic service.

LISTEN TO THE GRAIN
GAMBLERS HOW'LL

The newspapers of the country are
being flooded with propaganda against
the plan of the American Farm Blu
e a Federation for Farmers to mar
ket their own grain and secure for
themselves at least a part of the huge
profits that now goes to gamblers.
Let there be no misunderstanding
about this propaganda. In the first
place, the farmers corporation, known
as "The U. S. Grain Growers, Inc" is
no revolutionary plan. 1t does not
seek to do away with any existing
marketing agency only such as is be-
lieved to be a hindrance rather than
an aid. :
The gambling Boards of Trade feel
that if the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc.
succeed, that one feature of their &C,
tivities-namely, trading in futures,
will be eliminated. They, therefore,
have launched a very severe public
ity propaganda campaign against the
farmers organization. At a meeting
of the National Grain Dealers in Gin
%cinnati, a committee was appointed to
conduct this propaganda campaign and
S250.000 was raised to foot the bill.
This money is now being spent in
printed propaganda by a syndicate
which was set up in Chicago by the
Board of Trade.
