Lines of War Work.
She Has Invaded the Sliop, Elevator,
Street Car, Taxicab Field and Doz
ens of Other Places Formerly Listed
as "Man's Domain" Experts Say
Women Are More Painstaking, and
More Conscientious Than Men.
American women have responded to
the cull of emergency war work wllh
sui-h, vigor and success us to leave no
ro"in for erillclxm or contempt.
Women have Invaded the. shop, clo
valor, street cur, taxicab Held, incl
dozen's of oilier places formerly lisiet!
as "man's domain." With very little
exception, success has crowned, their
efforts.
Especially Is thla true In the muni
tions plants of this and foreign coun
tries. There their success has been
remarkable. In ti day of live and one
half hours woman has turned out
two-thirds as much work lis imm has
been able to turn out In n day of eleven
hours.
Kxperls say that women are more
paliislaklng; that they give more at
tenlinii to delail and that they are
more conscientious than their male co

Met Willi Drawbacks.
Hut In taking lip man's work they
have not escaped their drawbacks,
(heir criticisms, their embarrassments.
The world was prone to stand to one
side and, with pessimistic attitude,
watch their success or failure.
In Ktirone. where (he women first
proved their mettle, they entered their
various trades and channels of labor
under less embarrassing circumstances
lluin the women of America.
There the man power the male
workers on whom the government was
of necessity forced to depend was so
quickly exhausted that (here was but
tho one solution, namely, Hie women
must do the work.
Their success is now most Interest
ing history. Tho foreign papers and
even tile cables lutve carried countless
stories of Hie glowing successes attend
ing llie work of women.
They have entered the Holds, tilling
(he soil and reaping bountiful harvest
by labor which racked their brains
anil bodies. Torn and bleeding hands
handled (he unwieldy farming Imple
ments, but women stuck (o their tasks
anil the countries prospered despite
(he absence of man power.
lu (his country, us was lo be ex
liected, tho women moved more slowly
toward their inevitable tasks. They
busied themselves with the easier
tasks of knitting, the making of band
ages and oilier hospital supplies anil
tho collection of money for war funds,
Active In All Lines.
Tho American woman took her first
determined step when she Interested
herself In the first issue of Liberty
loan bonds. In groups and individu
ally they argued with those able to
Invest lu war bonds, nnd the country
knows how splendidly they succeeded.

Many prepared themselves for ne

while others persistently continued
