In the first days every woman wanted to be a nurse. It made no difference that _ she probably had ’never even bandaged a frostbitten toe or extracted a splinter from her finger. She declared she was fully qualified to nurse the wounded Tomâ€" mies who were coming home in hunâ€" dreds in those confused days.

Three years ago this one would have blocked trafâ€" fic in the Strand. Toâ€"day she is simâ€" ply a woman "doing her bit" in a great army of women workers mobilâ€" ized "to keep the home fires burning." The war found British men unpreâ€" pared and confused, but unafraid. It found women almost entirely ignored, though their patriotism ran just as high as that of their brothers, fathers and sons. After three years of strife there are still no quitters among the women, and few pacifists or "con-‘ scientious objectors." All Class Distinction Levelled by the War. Walking up the Strand recently I saw a young woman dressed in a khaâ€" ki Russian blouse, long khaki trouâ€" sers and a khaki turban, writes a visâ€" itor in London. She was perched on a ladder, busily washing â€"windows. Hundreds passed the spot every minâ€" ute but few even raised their eyes to look at her.

The former is poured in sectional moulds, the concrete being suitably reinforced with steel rods, and the latâ€" ter is built with concrete blocks, which may be purchased from a manuâ€" facturer or made by the farmer himâ€" self during the slack season, these blocks being set up in mortar in the same manner as ordinary masonry. _ Advantages of Cement in the Conâ€" [ struction of the Silo. _ The many advantages of a silo to the progressive farmer are well known and need not be mentioned here. A ; consideration of concrete in relation to the silo, however, very quickly demonâ€" strates the reason for the popularity it has already attained. Few other materials can be made as airtight as concrete and just as a preserve can must be airâ€"tight to prevent fruit from working so must the silo be airâ€"tight to prevent the silage moulding. The concrete silo is waterâ€"tight, which is of great importance, for the moisture which goes in with the silage must be kept in to prevent the process known as "dryâ€"firing." An even temperaâ€" ture in the silo is necessary if thesilâ€" age is to be properly preserved and a concrete silo will more nearly preâ€" serve an even temperature than a silo built of any other material. The acids formed by the slight fermentation in silage have no effect on concrete which is rotâ€"proof. Concrese also is fireproof and the farmer whose silo is built of concrete does not live in fear of losing not only his silo but also the crop stored, which is even more diffiâ€" cult and expensive to replace. ‘ Port Mulgrave force whose duty it is to carry on Im m‘ the work necessary for the financial l e l.s a M and economic continuation of the naâ€"‘ ln 'l]ns Iad 2 c tion‘s life; third, a military auxiliary y 3 & composed of nurses, makers of solâ€" enmatties diers‘ comforts, escorts for convalesâ€" _ s cent soldiers, motor car drivers, and She Tells What Dodd‘s 1 departmental messengers. | Pills Do For Women dreds of thousands; the © bodyâ€"building material in the whole wheat grain.
