Women of Austria Will Be
Industrially Mobilized Too
lU-T
VIENNA, Feb. 4. —Under the joint
auspices of the Austro-Hungarian min
istry of war and the Austrian women's
organization, the women of Austria are
about to be industrially “mobilized.”
Tl’.e undertaking is the result firstly of
the work Austrian women have done
since the war, and secondly with the
minister of war and his aides. It is
proposed to enlarge as far as possible
the industrial and comercial fields in
which women are now active and to
add new branches in which they may
become so, the purpose of the move
ment being to liberate for military
service all men whose places can be
filled by women and to give more of
them an opportunity to increase their
incomes.
The attitude of the Austrian govern
ment in the matter was explained in
a statement given to the press: “The
front is at present the domain of every
able-bodied man,” says the announce
ment, “while th? women working for
the army in a productive capacity as
rists teh army, firstly, bv releasing
come man to do military duty, second
ly, by keeping the economic machinery
ot the country in motion without which
the men at the front would fare badly.
Thousands of Austrian women are
a’ready doing work which men form
erly did. Indeed in the branches in
which they are employed are many
which formerly admitted no women.
The street car conductresses have
been a success from the start ,as have
■ also the female postal employes, in-
I eluding the women drivers and chauf
feurs of mail vehicles. On the rail
| roads they have also been very suc
cessful, especially as telegraph opera
tors, ticket agents, and freight depart
ment officials. Most of the clerical
work of the various governents Is be
ing done by women. Firms whose male
employes were called to the colors
have been mobilized to replace these by
women. In the ammunition factories
thousands of women are said to be do
ing excellent work. In a plant visited
some time ago by the Associated Press
correspondent the female employes
formed over sixty per cent of the en •
tire staff, even the heavy lathes on
which the large shells were being
turned were manipulated, by women.
A few Junos were handling huge ladles
with molton steel like a kitchen spoon.
Women already work in mines, mills,
factories generally, wholesale and re
tail houses, and this year’s generous
crop was largely raisedd by them.
One of the special aims of the pres
ent movement is to train women for
executive work, so that the men en
gaged in this may become available for
duty as officers.
A feature of th? scheme is to pro
vide half-day work for women whose
family ties would make that welcome.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TImES-RECORDER
In the morning mothers will attend to
their household and children, and so
be free to work in the afternoon from
five to six hours. To care for the chil
dren in the absence of the mothers, 1
special nurseries and kindergartens
will be established. Some of the wo- ’
men’s organizations favor the plan ’
that elderly women take the children
of their working neighbors into their U
homes. !
The program for the undertaking is 1
now being worked out by representa- ‘
tives of the women’s organizations and
the ministry of war. The larger of the | 1
organizations are: The Federation of
Austrian Women’s societies, Vienna 1
Woman Wage Earners’ association, I
the Catholic Women's Organizations of
Loewr Austria, Austrian Woman Suf
frage committee, State Organization of
Austrian Housekeepers, Austrian Gen
eral Women’s association, Social-Dem
olratic Woman’s organization, Federa
tion of Female Teachers and Educa
tors, Federation of Working Women,
Federation of Female Postale Service
emyloyes, High School eachers society,
Federation of Social Settlement work,
and the New Woman clubs. Several
dozen of smaller Austrian and hun
dreds of local women’s clubs and socie
ties are also assisting in the move
ment.
So far th? plan affects only Austria,
but it is expected that Hungarian wo
emn will soon join the ovement. The
Austrian ministry of war is merely co- :
operating with the women and ulti-'
mately the directing and managing of
th? undertaking will be given entirely;
into the hands of women. The “sold- I
iers behind the front” will have a |
' general staff” of their own.

Substitutes For
Money World
PARIS, Feb. 4. —Pasteboard sous,
.and pieces representing denominations
up to five francs are being used in
some of the occupied citiefe owing to
the scarcity of small change. The
pasteboards are of many different
colors and shapes—square, round, oc
tagonial, oval and diamond-shaped.
At Roubaix, Tourcoing, Roney and
Croix th? money is guaranteed by the
municcipality and good only for use
in transactions with merchants of
the town where the money is issued.
At Lille the pasteboard sous were is
sued by the Bank of Lille.
The city of Valenciennes issues a
new denomination of small change in
the form of a four sous piece (20 cen
times), guaranteed by the communes
of teh arrondissement and redeemable

peace.
FOREIGN CUM
TO HELP FILIPINO
INSOLOR_ BUNKING
MANILA, Feb. 4. —The Filipino As
sembly has voted in favor of the es
tablishment of an Insular Bank, but
has rejected the proposal that foreign
capital be excluded from investment
in this new government institution.
Moved by the brilliant oratory of
Delegate Clarin of Bohol, the House
at first accepted his argument that in
asmuch as the Philippines want to
become an independent nation it was
imperative they should show their
ability to maintain an Insular Bank
without the intervention of foreign
capital, and an amendment to the
bank bill was passed to the effect that
foreigners should be excluded from
the right to purchase any shares in
the bank.
■ Speaker Osmena, acting in his ca
pacity of delegate from Cebu, immed
iately stood up and spoke vigorously
in favor of the investment of foreign
capital. He said:
“The Philippines like any other
country in the world, are in a bad
condition economically. I have been
fin the House for eight years now, and
this is the first time I have stood up
to use my privilege of speaking in
behalf of foreign capital, the exclus
ion of which from the proposed bank
will mean a death blow to our agri
culture, our commerce, and the ruin
atioi. of the Philippines. I move the
reconsideration of the amendment.”
When Mr. Clarin’s amendment was
taken up again, it was defeated.
The most important activities in the
islands are financed by foreign cap
ital. The railroads, a large part of
which the Philippine government is
to purchase, are owned
and controlled in London. Most of
the inter-island steamship lines are
controlled by Britishers and Chinese.
The Manila Electric Railroad and
Light Company, the Mindoro and Cal
amba Sugar Estates, the bulk of the
mining and lumber industries are the
products of American capital. The

FERTILIZERS
THE CALAMITY HOWLER told the farmer, last year, to use less fertilizer.
The farmer listened. He used 40 per cent less fertilizer in 1915 than he did in 1914.
The result was a decrease of 32 per cent in the Southeastern cotton crop, due largely
to a lack of fertilizer.
Don’t listen to the Calamity Howler again. Large profits are ahead for the
farmer who fertilizes liberally this year. Make the most out of high priced 1916
cotton and seed. k
Users of Swift’s Animal Ammoniated Fertilizers will tell you that the Swift Brands give larger
yields and greater net profits than other brands —from 20 to 100 pounds more lint cotton per acre,
which means at 12c cotton price, with the average usage of 400 pounds of fertilizer per acre, from
sl2 to S6O per ton extra value in Swift’s Fertilizers.

Suffragette’s
In Atlanta Are
Wise Muchly
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 4.—Atlanta’s
suffragettes have found out that even
in dealing with her own sex “the fe
male of the species is more deadly
than the male.”
They say that in circulating their
petitions for the right to vote in At
lanta the only real rebuffs and hard
knocks they have encountered have
been from women who are opposed to
suffrage.
They say that the men are always
i willing to hear them with interest,
and are either in favor of the vote or
jpolitely indifferent.
Active opposition, they say, is com
ing not from men, but from women.
COUNTY CLERK
V fill No Appetite, All Run-Down, Tells
How Vinol Helped Him.
So many cases like this are coming
to our attention that we are publishing
this letter for the benefit of Americus
people who are in Mr. Welly’s condi
tion. Read our offer below.
Clarksville, Tenn. “I am a County
Court Clerk, and becama run-down,
no appetite, was drowsy and felt badly
most of the time. I had tried several
remedies without benefit. One day I
read an advertisement of Vinol and at
oice tried it. In a short time my ap
petite improved, my strength increas
ed and I felt better in every way.”
S. W. Kelly.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it is an unequ
alled tonic-body-builder, combining
native: wine, the oldest and most fam
ous tonics known to medicine.
So strong is our faith in Vinol that
we offer to return the purchaser’s mon
ey in every case if Vinol should fail to
give satisfactory results. Hooks Phar
macy.
The people whose advertisement
you read in this paper are on the level.
They’re not afraid of their goods.
