WASHINGTON. - P a
ayudar a ganar la guerra, la
poblaci6n civil de los EStados
Unidos Sc abstiene de usar
centenares de articulos de uso
diario.
Al entregarse de lleno la indus
tria de la naci6n a la production de
guerra, los lujos y comodidades de
Ia vida diaria desaparecieron auto
maticamente.
A principles de 1912 fue suspen-
dida la fabrication de AUTOMOBILES
para uso privado; las amas de casa
hicieron donativo de u utensilios
de aluminio, con los cuales sc fun
dieron nuevos lingotes de S metal
tan indispensable para la produc-
ci6n de guerra. Debido a la Gre
ciente demanda del alcohol para
usos belicos Sc limit6 la fabrication
de bebidas espiritosas y Sc privo a
las muieres del uso de u ~lociones
y perfumes favoritos.
VestuariO mas sencillO
Las cerdas con que Sc fabrican
los cepillos domesticos, asf como
los pasadores de metal para ell to-
cado de las senoras, han pasado a
formar parte de los materiales
es~enciales para la industrial belica.
Pasaron a la historic los ringo-
rrangos para la vestimenta fe-
menina Y masculine; sc ha limitado
el uso de las bicicletas; dfa a dia Sc

Pero, hasta Ia fecha, 10 que mas

Los lentes de los binaculares usa-

guerra habian sido considerados
como un adecuado substitute del

Los ~carruajes de los ninos va no

Escasea Ia lana para fabricar ia
petes; Sc ha restringido la venta de
hojas para las maquinas de rasurar.
Ell estano, tan indispensable para
ell esfuerzo belico, ha desaparecido
cast por complete de los objetos de

u~o esencial, son dificiles de adqul-

Los utensilios de aluminio, acero,

Tanto ell papel tapiz, como otros

in Army hospitals were not eligible
for any kind of compensation or
care. None of the welfare organiza-
tions made any provision for their
workers after the war.

Womens Overseas Service League
found its first opportunity for serv-
ice in providing aid for overseas
women who were Ill or in need of
financial assistance"
Since the outbreak of the present
war, individual members of the
league have adopted numerous war
projects.

tality to midshipmen her own major
project. She serves as chairman of
committee of the Fourth Presby-
terian Church of Chicago which
sees that the boys are invited out
each Sunday. In the past two years
she has entertained over 80 mid
shipmen in her own home and is
now corresponding regularly with
33 who have completed their Off
GERS training.

voting almost full time to the league
