ttX J OMEN'S WAR WORK." an of-
f r ilcial document of great inter
est. Issued by the War Office of Great
Britain, is a record and report of the
trades and processes in which women
are successfully employed In tempo
rary replacement of men.
Many of the arduous labors . per
formed " would seem unbelievable but
for the photographs in evidence and
the unquestionable authoritativeness of
the report. For instance, such toilsome
heawy work as leather dipping in the
tanyard vats, conveying it on barrows
and "rolling" it by machinery; digging
clay and shoveling it Into dinkey cars;
carrying large sheets of glass in the
glass factories; handling long eteel
bars, rods and pipes in the shipyards;
harrowing sacks of flour in the flour
mills; acting as porters in railway
goods yards, or, as we term It han
dling freight and express. Women as
postmen use bicycles. ' Women road-
sweepers, steam roller drivers, volun
teer munition makers, piano finishers,
bakers, grocers assistants, truck driv
era, butchers, wagon washers, brewery
workers, locomotive cleaners, railway
carriage washers, outside window
washers, furnace stokers, coke barrow
ers at a gas works, coal loaders and
weighers, harvesters), are among the
many fields of labor depicted.
