OMAN'S war work is never done.
Stretching forth her hands to give service,
she has found new ways to help, new needs for
' her, the outgrowths of the year of war. In this list of
indefatigable workers none has more credit for finding
the unusual bypaths in relief work than the members of
K th National League for Woman's Service.
Among the fair motorists activity reigns. Not con
tent with full days of driving for the Red Cross civilian
relief, they spend their evenings giving 'airings to the
disabled soldiers sent back home7 from the army to re
cuperate after an illness. At other times men on the
sick lists at the local posts are their guests; sometimes
they meet trains bringing the men called home by serious
I illness or death in their families.
Mrs. Harry Montgomery is one of the proficient
drivers. She knows cars from the steering wheel to the
r most intricate part of the ngine, like a tale of words in
one syllable. When a little something happens with
the ignition, out she gets and fixes it. v-
There are two good reasons why Mrs. Montgomery
One result of turning a lot of thin-chfested, half
developed boys into proud, swaggering, square-shouldered
soldiers is the business of "busting buttons," rip
ping seam and wearing big'raggedy holes in every
thing in sight.
When the reclamation officer'of the quartermaster's
depot was at "a loss to know what ' to do with these
damaged articles, he heard that women of the league
w.ould help him, and so drafted them into service.)
Very soon many patriotic ones were "doing their
darn." It was no longer a case of "knit and the world
knits with you, darn and you. darn alone." Such beau
tiful work was accomplished by the members that sam
ples were requested by the government in Washington as
a pattern for women workers. Omaha is the first place
where the women have done this rather trying relief
work.

While he big work of rebuilding the torn and worn
men oCwar is going on, another group of devoted ones
is busy wifli thread and needle reclaiming last winter's
khaki things and woolen "undies."
"Help the horse to save the soldier" is the plea
which bijigs groups like the above about the tables in
the league headquarters, and" keeps them busy rolling
bandages which will one day be used to mend the
wounds of the pack mule and the army horse at the
front '
. If enough of these dressings are made to keep, these
animals on duty transposing food and ammunition from
th .nnnlw trains into the front trenches, there will be
.. " rr-j
less need of surgical dressings for the men who must be
used for this-work if the four-footed friends are not
there.
