Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 January 1919 — Brave English Women. [ARTICLE]

Brave English Women.

In the British munition factories, women equipped with fireproof gowns and caps, green veils and respirators, the brave “canary girls,” their hair ana skin turned bright yellow, worked In the dangerous trotyl. Fuse makers there were who had to get their fuses correct to the thousandth of an Inch. Women from the universities, specialists In science and mathematics, worked as tool setters; others moved 00pound shells with ease. Women, aguin, worked in the tailor shops and canteens connected with the arsenals, or, clad in leggings and mackintosh, did trucking and carrying like strong men. These English women not merely showed Industry and spirit and fervor, but they set upon their work the seal of valor. Their lives were in constant danger from the materials in which they worked and also because the factories were chief objectives of air raiders. —Yale Review.
