THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1918 .» ocisJ H&ppei\ir\dj i on v \ihe . i ni ^" NortkoKore iy Rutk. kuley LOOKERS-ON in February last, when the women began to mobilize for war work, saw mainly only the amateurishness with which most of them set about finding their places in war work, or organizing groups for relief productivity. It seemed impossible that order would ever come out of the confusion. At that time there were, to be sure, small organizations of women in Chicago doing effective war work for the allies, and helping to fit our four base hospitals for our own Red Cross. But compared with today, their pace was leisurely, almost sluggish. Our mobilization came, and with it that rush of women eager to make surgical dressings, knit, or do anything that would prove their patriotism and unselfish devotion to the allies' cause. They came so fast and in such numbers that the small centers from which war work information was then radiating were fairly eclipsed and in danger of being snufifed out. But go about today and see what you will see—shops running with the smoothness of long established businesses. Women, for- merly of leisure, putting in hours like factory employes. No run- ning in for a minute to chat, disturbing other workers, and then disappearing, to reappear at another shop and do the same thing. The frivolous woman has utterly disappeared. She has given place altogether to the earnest worker. The woman who under- stands that organization is required even in a war shop, and set hours of service and standards of work are maintained. ---------------♦-------------- The Federation of Clubs of the Tenth Congressional District will meet with the Evanston Catholic Woman's Club on Thursday.
